GEORGIA MUST BUILD ROADS.

From almost every state in this sec
ton of the South, information comes to
the effect that millions of dollars are
TO be expended in the construction of
permanent roads during the next few
years
For the past decade, or since the in
PRODUCTION of convict labor in road con-
struction in Georgia, this state has
lead the south in good roads; but due
h the lack of engineering and the
proper use of road-building materials
progress commensurate, with the work
put forth, has not been recorded.
Tennessee, North Carolina and Flor
ida have been doing some splendid
permanent road construction. This
leaves Georgia in a position that is
anything but enviable, and something
must be done to put the state on par
with its neighbors.
Under the management of its high
way commission, Tennessee is getting
busy on permanent road construction,
and the highway department will re-
ceive an annual income of $4,000 I'M
der the recent act of legislature to be
used for permanent highways In ad-
dition to this the state will share in
the federal good roads aid fund, and al
SO whatever special appropriation are
made by the state or the nation.
Or course, the different counties of
Tennessee are getting behind the move
counties of Greene and Washington
ment, and in East Tennessee the two
have recently voted a combined bond
issue of $125O,000 to be used in perma-
nent road construction; and other
counties, throughout the state, run the
aggregate up to several million roll
lars.
Florida, already leading in the per
capita expenditure in permanent road
construction, is going at the work of
bodybuilding in more satisfactory
and substantial manner than ever be-
fore, and the state, itself, will expend
around $1,000,000 in cooperation with
the various counties throughout the
state, and one-half mill tax levy, the
state automobile tax and the federal
good roads fund, will all be used to
augment the permanent road work of
different counties of Florida.
The Chronicle has taken occasion to
the pass to express the opinion that,
despite the fact that Richmond county
has some of the best roads in the coun-
try, still an expenditure of a few hun
dred thousand dollars in building good
roads of permanent character would be
ore of the best investments that could
possibly be made by the county, and
incidentally, the city itself will benefit
immensely by the procedure Aside
from the local value which would ac-
crue to any country or to any commun-
ity investing in good roads, there can
De no doubt, especially in time of war,
that permanent roadways would be of
immense value to the community state
and the nation. The Appian Way prov
ed saving grace to Ancient Rome on
more thar one occasion, and unques-
tionably history would repeat itself in
the matter of good roads.-Augusta

Little Rock, July 27.-Commissioner John H. Page asserts that there is more agitation than opposition against the new ginners' law" He says that he attended the Western Arkansas Ginners' association at Fort Smith, discussed the law and answered questions for two hours, and all the ginners were satisfied. There were about 150 present. With reference to the movement that has been started in some quarters for the test of the law in the courts. Mir. Page said that the Texas law, of which the Arkansas law is essentially a copy, was tested in the Texas courts in 1915, in the case of Dabney White vs. state, and the law was upheld in all particulars. He has no doubt but that it will be sustained should it be taken to the Arkansas supreme court.

Chinese Bean Eaters.

The chief reason why people can live so cheaply in China and yet produce for that nation a tremendous man power, is that they eat beans instead of meat; but nothing like the navy bean, which by many people who dc not get much exercise is considered a rather heavy food. Furthermore. pork and beans as fed to the men in the United States army and navy becomes mOnotonous after a while. even though the addition of the carbon contained in the shape of pork fat makes such q meal possess every element necessary to sustain life.--EXchange.

IRISH MOTHERS
 ARE MO1HtRING
 THE BLUEJACkETS
Admiral Sims Is Special Object Good Feelings at
 Hands of Villagers.
Correspondence Associated Press)

(CorfeSpOndence ASS0clatod PfeSS)
 Baseof American Flotillas in Brit
 ish Waters, June 26.-"And sure thy
 arc after coming back home" remark
 ed a good natured Irish mother today
 as she beamed with pride on a pro
 cassion of American bluejackets com
 ing through the main street of this
 seacoast town. She expressed the
 feeling of the townspeople who all
 take justified pride in the "return of our boys" and, by way of prov
 ing it, they point to the high percent
 age of Irish ancestry and birth in
 the American navy.
 It would be hard to imagine for
 eign port where American sailors
 could be made more genuinely well come. It is true therc has been noth- ing in the way of formal welcome for Americans but that is not the fault of the hospitable people. It has been dis outraged because this grim business of war gives men little time for cele- brations ashore. Therefore the Amer ican jack tars set foot ashore in the same quiet confident business-hke manner as that of their dostroyers in entering the port.
 Almost instantly they captivatcd the hearts of the townspeople. many of whom have been seen to doff their hats to them whom passing along the narrow, winding streets.
 Vice-Admiral Sims is particularly revered and finds himself special object of display of good feelings at the hands of the villagers.
 One of the favorite ways of being hospitable to the Americais is to in- vtc them home for tea. Or. should the American blucjacket be relieved for a few hours from his arduous ship life, draw up on the sidewalk to admire a chubby son of Old Erin, he will al most invariably be coaxed into the home for just one cup of tea by the proud mother. The sailor often finds it was only pretcxt to talk to him about America. And this cagerness for gossip about the United States is easily explained when it becomes known there is hardly one of the villagers who has not close rela- tive living in the Wotsern Republic. Indeed, there are few homes here ica. Here is a typical instance of two sailors from Philadelphia who were caught in downpour of rain and took refuge under some tres. Instantly a smiling old Irish woman appeared in her doorway and offered the shelter l of her homo until the shower had pass i ed Then she brought out tea and with ] the inevitable family album with pie lures of her two sons who live in Jersey.
 l Pressed for the place in Jersey, she
 looked throughtful for moment and
 then sinilingly said Camden" Adorn- ling a prominent place on the walls of her best room were colored litho- &graphs of Washington and Lincoln on Ia background of "Old Glory.' She said they came from Fourth of July Supplement of an American news Epaper.
