VOTE FOR PROGRESSIVE MEN FOR
COMMISSIONERS.

The election of county officers IS
now but a few days away. Discussion
ranges more about the selection OF
the County Commissioners than
around the other officers to be chosen.
The County Commissioners to be elect
ed will comprise the majority of the
Board and for four years will dOmi-
nate the policy of the Board and give
effect to the handling of the county
funds 1t is accordingly of the great
est necessity that men with progress
sive ideas, with definitely formed views
on public improvement questions,
should be chosen.
There is no doubt that all of the
candidates are men of integrity and
staunch in their adherence to Sumter
county. They may vary, decidedly,
though, in their views on the Creates
question before the county, the con
tinuance of the work of constructing
and maintaining good highways. There
is said TO be considerable dissatisfac~
ton in some sections because the
good roads have not yet reached them
to the extent they desire. 1t is, o.
course, manifestly impossible, depend
ing on the ordinary revenues of the
county to build more than a certain
Ohap of Of in
year But progressing as rapidly as
the work has done in the past four
years it is bat matter of time when
no complaint could be made on this
score. Given bond issue, devoted to
Improvement of the county highways
and every section would speedily fnA
itself with a magnificent thirty-foot,
level, well-drained highway.
Instead of expressing dissatisfac-
ton at the polls by voting in effect
against a continuance of good roads,
citizens should rather see to it thai
men are elected commissioners who
believe in and will work for good
roads, and should then support them
in such work by endorsing a bond
issue that will supply them with means
adequate for the needs of the county
in this line That would be far
more sensible than striking down the
policy of road construction that has
done SO much for the county in the
past four years.
This is really critical time in the
history of Sumter county. The good
roads policy, if we understand it cor
rectly, is hanging in the balances
1t would be suicidal mistake to TAX
step backward, to become reaction
ary instead of remaining progressive
Sumter now enjoys an enviable repu
tation for good roads, for the spirit O.
progress that made them possible
Does any citizen really want to g.
backward, to lose the benefit of wha
has been done, to cease operations
that mean SO much for the future de
velopment of the county? 1t is hardl,
probable, one would think, that an,
number of voters of such mind coulo
be found in a county like this.
Every voter in exercising his priv
ileges as a voter, should see to it tina
those for whom he votes are progress
sive men. That is not asking yer,
much. And a genuinely progressive
candidate for Commissioner will neve
hesitate to public affirm that he be
lieves in continuing the policy o
building good roads.

The loving feeling that Jacksonville

comment of the Times Union that the

Newspaper Ads VIII Sell Land.


To get results that are lasting
and publicity that warns up the stu
alton in the real estate business in al
most any locality, newspapers are the
best; liberal use of the classified
pages and sufficient use of the display
10 keep the firm out of the piker class
and give dignity to the smaller ads
SENS to cover the field and prove the
best investment. Other schemes that
are offered may seem and look rosy,
but they seldom reach the public
when it is in frame of mind to be
impressed with Importance of invest
ing in homes or in speculative real es-
tate" This is the conclusion advanced
by II. B. Van Sickle. publicity expert
and advertising manager for a large
real estate firm in Toledo.
