GOOD BRIDGE WAS
BADLY NEEDED
TRAVEL ACROSS FLINT RIVER
HAS BEEN CUT OFF FOR TWO
WEEKS AND THE NEED OF A
BRIDGE AT raUGUENIN's COMES
TO THE FORE AGAIN.

Increased Importance has attached
to the movement for the construction
of bridge spanning Flint river at HUI
guenin's Ferry on account of the rains
of the past several weeks. Renewed
interest is felt by the general public,
or at least that part comprising citi-
zens of Cordele and Crisp county who
have had occasion to look after bus
ness on the other side of the river.
The same interest is felt by a large
population on the other side of the riv-
er who have occasion to travel on this
side. 1t is an interest prompted by
difficulties, sometimes serious and
near-fatal, encountered in attempting
to travel, or not being able to travel
at all, between points divided by the
river
The ferry has been rendered practi-
cally useless during the rainy season.
The river has been swollen far out
Of it's banks, and the ferry ropes have
been submerged most of the time,
making passage not only very danger
Gus but utterly impossible. The cur
rent has been so swift that, even
though vehicles could reach the fer
ry from either side, the danger has by
no means been eliminated.
While it has been impossible for
other vehicles to make the trip be-
tween points across the river, per
sons who were compelled to make such
trips and who found it suited to their
best purpose to travel by automobile,
in many instances were forced to go
more than hundred miles out of the
direct route. For instance, travel be-
tween Cordele and Americas had to go
by way of Albany. The roads to AL
bany are passable, but from there to
Americas is a trip through mud, slush
and water, attended by difficulties of
being frequently struck" Persons
who made such a trip can fully appre-
ciate the advantage that travel would
have with a bridge across the river
at Hugeunin's and they are doubtless
strong advocates now more than ever
of the movement to have bridge
constructed.
While some of the wooden bridges
across fine river at different points in
this section have been undermined or
washed away by the swollen stream,
there is not a steel structure spanning
the river that has been damaged, and a
steel bridge at Hugeunin's would with
stand all of the high water that the
river might reach at that point.

THIEF GOT FORD
FROM BAzEMORE
CAR LEFT Nv STREET IN FRONT
OF HOME TAKEN AND CARRIED
AWAY BEFORE OWNER COULD
EFFECT CAPTURE.

Wednesday night Ford touring car,
belonging to O. S. BaZemore was stol-
en- from in front of his home on Elev-
enth avenue The car was practically
new, having been purchased only a
few days before.
The theft was perpetrated about
10 o'clock and the thief or thieves
cranked up the machine and made q
getaway under the drowning noise
of freight train which was pulling
into the yards of the Atlanta, Birm-
ngham & Atlantic railway, the track
running in close proximity at the rear
Of the Bazemore home.
Mr.. Bazemore, realizing the posi-
bility of the machine being stolen, be-
fore retiring removed three of the coil
units from the magnetic box. However,
the thief or thieves seemed thorough
ly familiar with the circumstances and
were prepared for this emergency. O..
H. Hammack had left his Ford stand
ing in his yard at his home on Four
teenth avenue. Three of the coil units
were removed from his car and were
doubtless used in perpetrating the
theft of the Bazemore machine. Par
ties !iv ng next door to the Bazemore
home heard the noise of the motor as
the car was cranked up and run Off,
but did not suspect theft at the time

CONFER[ES ON ARMY BILL
 ARE NEARING AGREEMENT

ar all day session today, failed to reach a final agreement on disputed phases of the measure. but both sen ate and house members said tonight there was a general feeling they would get together after several more days of discussion.
 All were agreed that it was useless to talk further for a standing army of 250. 900 men or to plead any longer for the senates proposed federal volun- teer reserve army. Much of the day was spent in discussing the probable agreement on the regular army and the general understanding seemed to be that the peace strength would be fix ed at approximately 1S0.000 men.
 Champions of the volunteers re- serve who are reluctantly yielding to its rejection by the house are urg- ing perfection of the training camps provision of the house bill. and hope 1t may be amended along the lines proposed in an amendment offered in ,he senate by Senator Lodge. This
 wculc provide for pay at the sama
 rate now received by enlisted men of the regular army for citizens who en- list in instruction camps during the l periods they are in training. With such a provision. it is argued. young
 men who could not otherwise afford to devote a month or more each year
 would be given an opportunity to at tend the instructions camps.
