FARMERS OF
COUNTY FAVOR
BOND issue
some EXPRESS OPINIONS
Issue Should Be ECODOm-
iCaI

Some of Sumters representative far
mers who have been in Americus dur
srg the past few days, men of promi-
pence and influence and who reflect
the sentiment of their various commun-
tiles, expressed the opinion that the
voters of the county will endorse heart
l.y at the polls the proposed bond is
sue for the improvement of the roads
and bridges of the county The prop
osition is so plainly one of advantage
from the standpoint of utility and
economy alike, reducing taxation ra-
ther than increasing it, that it would
be strange, indeed, if any opposition
whatever to the bond issue should d..
velop.
Good roads would be useless with
out good bridges" said we'll known
farmer living in the southern portion
of the county, in discussing the propo.
sition. "The bond issue will reduce
our tax rate and save the county 81 =
900 annually, at least in the cost Of
bridge repairs"
The county, under existing condi-
tions, is compelled annually to borrow
some money to meet current expenses
until taxes are paid and, necessarily,
pay the usual bank rate of interest for
it With bond issue, they get all the
money required, and at only 1-2 per
cent. interest.
AS The Times Recorder has pointed
out already, the county spends ap-
proximately $4,000 annually in the re-
pair of bridges alone. With the bond
issue, the total cost annually for
bridges would be only $4,000, the
amount of the bonds taken up and re-
tired, while better still steel bridges
will have taken the place of wooden
structures
AS it is proposed to expend the en-
tire sum of the bond issue-$9O,O 1000
in the building of steel bridges and
culverts,. the work will be of perma
nent nature. There will be no costly
repair bills then, such as are entailed
now in the constant repair of the old
and worn wood structures.

PENSION CHECKS
FOR The COUNTY
NOW AVAILABLE
FUND RECEIVED YESTERDAY
Pensioners May Now Get
Their Money

A check for the current pension
fund of Sumter county was received
by Captain John A. Cobb, judge Of
the court of ordinary, yesterday. All
Sumter county pensioners may now re-
ceive their current pensions by calling
at the ordinary's office.
For some time the fund has been de-
layed on account of the slowness with
which the taxes were received at the
state capitol. Recently sufficient
money was secured to pay the pen
sions, so that the checks for the va
rious counties were sent out to the or
dinaries. This makes the pension fund
for the counties available in part or
in whole everywhere.
All the checks for pensioners in this
county have been made out by Captain
Cobb, so that they may obtain them at
once Throughout the entire week the
checks from Atlanta has been ex-
pected, though it was thought recently
that it would be March before the pea
sions could be paid here.
