GL|DDEN TOUR Gives
BOOST TO HIGHWAYS
Road Building Is Being Stimu-
lated in Prospect of Fall
Event
Triton Gazette.


The Glidden tour over the national
highway in October, is giving boost to
automobiling all along the route. Also
it is stimulating road building, the au-
thorities all along the line being moved
to extra efforts to make needed repairs
or finish contracts under way in time
for the tourists. Several Georgia cars
have already been entered and every
state along the route from New York to
Jacksonville win doubtless be repre-
scented.
The national highway was well patron
lied Sunday. 1t is wonderful improve
ment. The modernized, up-to-date
Chula now under construction will also
be an addition to this section.
There is considerable dissatisfaction
among the country folks in general per
tanning the condition of the roads. If
every land owner would endeavor to
build up the roads around his place as
for example, Mr.. James Turner has done,
there would be little trouble in having
good roads and the county would be in
a better condition.. financially, to keep
up the roads. He built "a road as good as
the national highway all around his
place, digging bitches, blowing up a 30
foot road that does credit to any man.
If every man that could and would do
likewise ana quit SFuHDsHlS dDcut iOdu9s
highways, high taxes. etc. he would
benefit himself and the county at large.
While group of men are discussing
the miserable condition Of roads. they
could get horses and mules and get
the roads in shape. We all know It viii
take the rest of the year to build the
national highway. il you want good
roads at home. go to work and get them.
Hon. II. l.. Lovett who was in Triton
Tuesday, says the county commission
ers of Berrien are arranging to get their
conyicts back on the national highway
at once. They had contracted for the
building of Berriens part of the high
way, from Abel to the Lowndes county
line, but two contractors in succession
fell down on them. and they were COM
PEELED to do the work with the county
These convicts were at work
on road west Of Abel. and this work
had to be completed before they moved
them over TO the Highway. They ex-
pect to have Berrien's part of the high
way completed in time for the Glidden
tour in October.

Concrete evidence OF the aroused In
terest in road and school. impr ovement
is arriving at the offlee of the state

ties for this year come in
Twenty reported Monday. and practi-

tax rate. The highest was 1883 mills
and the lowest mills.
81 reeall,' said Capt w: II HaTri-
son. who has been in touch with the
states taxing system Tor two decades
by more that when first earae into

exceeded that of the state which has
rarely been above five mills. the present
constitutional maximum. From the re-
ports of levies that have come hi today.
one may doubt il single rate viii be
as low as that of the state
FOR RAODs AND SCHOOLS.
The increased tax rate of the coun-
ties are not due TO extravaganza, but
to an aroused public opinion on the SUBJ
ject Of roads and schools.
All but about twenty counties are
using their pro. rata share OF con-
victs on their public highways The
cost of working them has to bis borne
by local taxation, which is an added
burden. But so imbued have the tax
payers become with the idea Of road
development that they are kicking
on slight increases in the tax rate.
Several counties have taken advan-
tage of the recent act of legislature
permitting them to levy a specific road
tax of four. instead Of two mills The
act in question became operative on
the governors approval and is appll-
cable to this years leyies. IT will mean
the doubling of the road fund in a large
number of counties.
