soft snap suggested by the theme to let

the people, and extravagant expenditures
have been voted III many localities where

expenditures as compared to the actual need
for roads or to the ability of the respective

GO SLOW ON STATE ROAD BONDS

Shreveport Journal: So far as
We know, Louisiana is the only Ameri-
can state along the entire route of the
jefferson highway, to seriously propose
mammoth bond issue for state high
way improvement. If Louisiana were
free of public debt and had plethoric
public treasury, it might well afford to
blaze the way. But it evidences no lack
of progress to say that with burden
some bonded debt which it cannot hope
to soon discharge, Louisiana cannot az
ford the indulgence of completed good
road system at this time Our supply
of public schools is far from adequate
and, of all institutions, schools are most
essential. What would our good road
friends think of S14,000,OOO state
bond issue for school buildings? What
would the people think of it?'
1t is reassuring 70 see newspaper now
and then take serious view on the subject
Of road building and bond issues. The ease
with which large bond issues can be foated
for road building appears to Lave warped

The scheme Of the Germans to deport
the Belgians and make slaves Of them IS
but another proof that our boasted Christian
civilization is barely skin deep. We may
think the Germans the only race that would
be guilty of such barbarouS conduct, but
when put to the test it Is probable that all
nations would revert to the practices Of the
dark ages 1t looks like our Christian garb
is for dress parade.

OF the Unison weed are now worth $l2 per

that our forefatherS fought to.cXterminate
and destroy for years. It grew everywhere.
Heretofore it has been nuisan and a
pest. Since it has become valuable for me-

dieting that it will become one Of our mos :.
delicate plants, and that in the future it can
only be grown witch artificial heat in glass.
When the market for it is fully developed,
we may expect to see it thrive only when it
is cultivated and cared for under the direc-

Tribute to Grady Wood.

New Hope, May 22.-Special A
deep silence and great darkness came
into the home OF Mrs. E. p. Wood, OF
this section, when her beloved son
| passed away to that great beyond. a
voice they loved to hear is hushed: a
presence which was bright in the
home is gone from them to that eter-
nal home Of the blessed.
God sent his angel on Saturday
morning, May 13. to bear away the
spirit OF Grady Wood, Il loving son
and brother. His life had been an
inspiration to many, for he carried
sunshine with him always, with his
cheering words for everybody. For
several months he had been SUI
ferer from tuberculosis. and rs his
friends met and talked with him we
heard no complaint. His suffering
was borne with the spirit Of a true
Christian.
In early life he gave his heart to
Christ. and always felt it his duty to
be useful in his church work and at
home. We feel that we have lost one
OF our best members at New Hope.
There is vacancy in every depart
ment that cannot be filled, and a
bright and happy face is no more to
be seen. But in our hearts and minds
we have fond picture Of the man.
Grady Wood was born in Spartan
burg county on October IS, 1895. and
was brought to this county when
quite small. He Is survived by his
mother, three brothers and four sis
ters. Funeral services were con-
ducted by Rev. Willie Hammond at
New Hope Baptist church on the day
following his death. Many gathered
around to take last look into the
loved face and sympathiZe with the
hcart-brOken family. The beautiful
flowers that covered the grave were
but an earnest Of the tribute Of great
love that is paid to him.
The sympathy Of the entire COM
munity goes out to the bereaved ones
III their great sorrow.
