The Republicans have blown UP.
They can't make any Roadway under

SAVE THE MONEY.

The Times-Recorder is selfish when
it comes to big money with the state
of Georgia vitality concerned.
According to correspondence from
Congressman Vinson and Lee to Geor-
gia legislators, the state will lose the
federal highway appropriation if moth
ing is done by the Georgia legislature
other than the bill which has been
passed by the house.
Of course, a real highway bill may
be forthcoming before the legislature
adjourns-one that will qualify in the
sections where big money is ours for
the proper legislation.
The act which has passed the house
may suffice, but if Uncle Sam don't
think it does it amounts to nothing.
We want the money, and we want the
Georgia legislature to provide way
to get it.
A good road is vital to the prosperity
of any community, and with the as
sistance of the federal government
provided in the good roads act" Geor-
gia could take another step for
ward.

Editor s-Recorder:
Realizing full we'll your excellent
policy of aloofness from politics both
local and state unless principle is
involved | beg your indulgence for a
few words on subject which should
be vitality interesting to the people of
Sumter county.
On Septeber 18th the primary will
be held to select a state senator and
two representatives from Sumter
county for the next Georgia general
assembly. Every conservative thinking
Georgian must admit the potency of
the times which demand experienced
and conservative legislators.
understand Hon. J. E. Sheppard
will not be a candidate for reelection,
which makes it more necessary for
Sumter to have experienced legislators
in the next general assembly, and 1
think Hon. Crawford Wheatley should
stand for reelection as duty to his
county and his state. Both of our rep
resentatives are able, and have re-
fiected great credit on Sumter in the
deliberations Of the house. They are
experienced in the workings of the
massive body, and that counts for
much where a large number of repre-
sentatiyes gather in Atlanta. If Mr..
Sheppard is firm in his decision not to
be a candidate it axes it more nee
essary for Mr. Wheatley to run.
