1t is Qevident that the commissioners
have made this plan the prospective basis
for the work which they expect to do next
year.
Going Favors the Issue.
ST would be exceedingly glad" said Job
Going, president of the board, ito see
Jefferson county issue 100000 worth of
good roads bonds and nm of the opinion,
judging from discussions which we have
had that the other members of the board
Favor This proposition rather than a
smaller bond issue.
There is this proposition: The county
is now spending more than 100000 a year
on public roads and the work speaks
for itself. The highways which we nov
have as a whole are in excellent shape.
There is no one who appreciates the real
conditions but who also realizes that
there Is still vast amount of work to-
be done if the county's system of roads
is to be put in the shape it should be in
In view of the fact that it takes $780,
900 year to maintain the roads we have
and to build few new stretches each
year it is evident that an issue of $780,
900 would be insufficient. There is moth
ing in the way of the issuance of $780,
900 worth of bonds other than that the
opposition of the voters, because the 10
cent fund alone would pay the interest
on the bonds.
Commission to Handle Money.
Il would not like to see an amount of
money like 81 100000 placed in the hands
of the Board of Revenue, because it would
be unfair to the commissioners. There is
is always a cry of graft when propo-
stution of this kind arises. Therefore,
If the county is to issue the proposed
bonds 1 should favor having the money
placed in the hands Of a commission just
as was done when the great system OF
sanitary sewers was installed. l do not
believe that any set of men should be
expected to tender their services in a mat
ter of this kind free of charge, but think
a commission of responsible men, inter-
ested and practical men, who are willing
to undertake the work for few thou
and dollars a year should be selected and
then a first-class engineer and road
builder employed to execute the work
Cleon B. Rogers states that he realizes
the imminent need of more roads, and
that it will take monDy to carry out any
sort of project.
Rogers Enthusiastic.
1T is set business principle that in or
der to make money one must spend
money! said Mr.. Rogers. II feel that if
Jefferson county had an adequate net
work OF public highways it would en-
nance the value of property throughout
the county to such a degree that the issue
would prove paying proposition.
Georgia farmers are digging their
sweet potatoes at this time of the year
and are paying something like 800 per car
to ship their product into Birmingham.
And they are making money at that JEFF
ferson county farmers are barely raising
sweet potatoes enough to supply them
selves because they cannot get their prod

condition of the roads, This applies to
any other farm product, and had the

CAREFUL WHILE HUNTING
Don't Fire at an Object That Just

Deer-Valuable Suggestions to Deer
Hunters Regarding the Most Ere

Apropos OF the deer season, someon,

for hunters, which are worth careful
perusal before going into the woods:
Don't pull the trigger of your gun
before you clearly see the thing you
shoot at
Don't go out headlighting deer II Is
an extremely dangerous business. and
Il is unlawful.
Don't fire into the brush that has
been set moving by something or some
one. II may prove that It is agitated
by someone.
Don't fire at any object that looks
like deer.
Just fire at a deer, and be sure it is
a deer.
The deer is not a rare animal as yet
and any intelligent hunter can dis
tmguish what it is. Just give it a
chance TO walk SO you can see an Of IL,
and you will readily recognize it,

IL is no crime not To Kill deer.
II is a crime, punishable by impris-

Remember that you are out after
