TO COMPLETE
RE-VALUATION
BLOUNT COUNTY PROPERTY
HAS BEEN VALUED AT PRES
ENT DAY RATE
MANY CITIZENS CALLED IN TO
GIVE TESTIMONY AS TO THE
VALUES

A re-valuation of Blount county
property, preparatory to the new tax
law which becomes effective next
year, will be completed the latter
part of this week or the early part OF
next week. Mr.. Goodson, of Roane
county, who mas been here several
weeks working on the re-valuatfon,
hopes to complete it soon. The
value of property in Blount county
will be increased from it's present as
sessed value on which the levy IS
made, to probably $25, 100000 or
$30,0O0,000 and maybe more. When
the tax is paid on the re-valuation
under the new law, Blount county's
tax rate, for county and state, will be
about80 cents, instead of $3.40.
Another benefit that will accrue
from this new method, according to
Mr.. Goodson, is the fact that IN the
allotment of federal aid, Blount
county will get four to five as much
for her share when the real valuation
is given as when it is given under the
low assessment value.
The method of fixing property
values, is to call in men from eacA
district who have knowledge of prop
erty values in those districts, and thus
the compiler makes his report. 1t is
not guess work on the part Of a visit
or, but the fair valuation as estimat-
ed by men acquainted with property
values in the county.

"THAT RIVER BRIDGE"

The action of the Sumter county Grand Jury
IN its recent presentments revivng the recommen-
dation for the construction of bridge across the
Flint river at Huguenins ferry, on the Americus.
Leslie-Cordele main road, has resulted in new
call for action from the Crisp county side. Says
The Cordele Dispatch:
Assuring news comes from Sumter county
regarding the bridge across Flint river. The last
grand jury in session in Sumter recommended that
the bridge be constructed. This is manifestation
of strong desire for it on the other side of the
river, Some of these days we are going to get that
bridge and the people all along the Seaboard for
hundred miles will be happy
The commissioners of Crisp county and the
commissioners of Sumter have conferred seriously
for some time pl ans for this bridge and they
have reached an agreement to work out estimates
covering the main span, each county to construct
its own temporary approaches till the permanent
roadway be had.
Sumter county is to pave of its main
highways down to this crossing Crisp is to do the
thing Both roads have been approved for
federal and state aid as we understand it, and now
the commissioners are busy trying to ascertain
whether the main span across the river can be had
before the paving is completed. 1t may be that
federal aid is possible even in this.
When the bridge proper is constructed, both
Crisp and Sumter will construct their own ap-
proaches out OF temporary plans till the paving
comes along. 1t is splendid plan and one wholly
practical and possible 1t will not mean an unnec-
essary expenditure of public funds and at the same
time the bridge will be in use all the year around
save possibly few days when the river might be
at food stage in the spring
People of Sumter county are manifesting
cesire for the bridge and lending support to the
movement. People in Crisp and all along the Sea
board for long way east are hopeful Of getting it
soon. Let US lend every word of encouragement -
Agitation will eventually get that bridge be-
cause people usually get what they wart-if they
~ant it badly enough This bridge is needed; it
will be good for both counties and will promote a
nelghborress between the two that cannot now be
enjoyed because of the intervening river
Let's keep up the agitation, and the bridge

THRIFTY UNCLE. SAM.

lhe federal government, noted for lavish expen4
diure, has certainly shown itself thrifty in one re-
spect, and thereby set fine, example to private
citizens
A report of the Treasury Department shows
that in the last year and half the government has
bought, in the open market Liberty Bonds with a
face value of $953,000,000. For rhese bonds the
government has paid only 1907 905, ,OOO or about
$45 600 600 less than the original purchasers paid
for them, and has made clear profit of this diff
ference
Uncle Sam is really not engaged in specula-
ton. The purchases were made in pursuance of a
plan authorized by Congress whereby the Treasury
Department was given fund to use in buying up
bonds at its own discretion in order to stabil-
ize the bond market IF the heavy purchases here
indicated had not been made, the bonds, unfortu-
nately low they are would have sunk still lower
Government buying helped to strengthen the de-
n0and for them. The profit made was Incidental
rather than intentional 1t is however, a welcome
and legitimate addition to the Treasury and it af-
fords good object-lesson for the public.
To sellers of Liberty Bonds it teaches the fool
ishness of letting go their perfectly good bonds,
since the government, by buying them up for less
than they are worth has been able to cancel near
ly $,000,0 100000 of war debt at "a cents on the
dollar. 1t is an impressive lesson. too. to people
with money to invest Instead of throwing away
good money for worthless oil or mining stocks or
spending it in extravagant purchases and transient
pleasure why not take advantage of the Liberty
Bond market, just as Uncle Sam has done, and buv
bonds while they're lowe

viii come.

A movement to keep American travellers from
rushing to Europe at this time, mainly by the use
of advertising which will portray to them the won
dera of America, and make them waut to see
America first, is told of in the Macon Telegraph
which suggests that the people of the Southeast get
behind the movement for government appropria-
ton for this national advertising because of the
benefit the states on the Dixie and National and
other great highways will receive from the increas-
ed tourist travel that is certain to follow going
from the north to Florida each winter to escape
the icy season. There is more than sentiment to
the suggestion. Of course America is wonderful
country the real wonders of which few men who
live in it know But there is good business sense
in the suggestion. Says The Telegraph:
The efforts of the different hotel mems as
sociations throughout the United States to stop
travel to Europe at this time particularly should
receive the greatest encouragement and co-opera-
tion. Macon visited few days ago by Mr.
John F. Shea secretary of the California State Ho-
tel Association, who is putting on a campaign
throughout this country to See America First :" He
told of his in stopping a considerable
amount of advertising for European travel, but de-
clared that in spite of this campaign 4824 people
left for Europe during September and their passage
alone cost ten millions Of dollars An amount far
in excess of the cost of passage will be paid in no.
tel bills and other ways. Mr. Shea urges that every
city in the country should advertise what it has in
order to do their part in keeping travel money in
this country. Two California cities are paying

AN EXAMPLE.

EFT us set good example in these wild
cited days, when men mill around and tram
pie on our corns in fifty ways. Let's not join
them in their milling, but, by fixing up
shacks, demonstrate that we are willing to get
down once more to tacks Let us shun the noisy
clamor of the smiths who WELD the jaw; let US
argue with the hammer and expound things
with the saw. Let us build stately dwelling for
the hens to occupy while the anarchists are yell
ing threats and curses at the sky. Let's erect a
noble shanty where our cows may chew their
cuds while the Russian, wild and ranty, blows
the foam from bootlegged suds. All our ills will
be adjusted, and the Reds will whoop in vain,
if we only can be trusted to be calm and safe
and sane. IF you'd rail at your condition, if
you re victimized by Grimes bending meath
some imposition, let it slide till saner times. Do
not join the angry chorus, but be patient and
serene, knowing that the storm clouds o er US
will vanish from the scene. We but make
the country sicker when we paw around like
yaks; and we'll bring good times the quicker if
all get down to tacks.

$l50,000 year each into this See America
First campaign. Minnesota is spending SIS 900
year. Colorado $50, 000 Washington and Ore
gon $l00, 900, and Kansas City alone spent $780,
600 last year in advertising that city and the won
ders of that section of country
The hotel men associations are very earnest
in their advocacy of the United States government
approprating sufficient funds with which to adver-
tise the wonders and scenic beauties of America
1t is well known that Switzerland has an advertis-
ing fund for such purpose and through this means
attracts hundreds of millions of dollars annually
European travel is obviously inopportune at this
time mainly for the reason that the old country is
disordered from every standpoint; their food sup
plies are more or less limited and scant their trans
portation facilities are disrupted, their hotels are
handicapped for want of help and are overrun
with people whose business takes them there after
four years of enforced absence
In this section of country Florida is the main
attraction at this time of year. Hundreds of auto
mobiles are passing through Macon and other
Georgia cities along the National and Dixie High
ways bound for the summer climate to be found in
Florida while all of the other sections of this coun
try are lcebound. With the immense program fo1
hard surfaced roads throughout America, and @s-
pecally in this section. touring will become more
and more popular this work progresses But
the thoroughfares already travelable and there
is much pleasure to be gained from an automobile
trip.
The efforts of the hotel mems associations to
secure cooperation from the United States govern
ment in convincing the people that this country
possesses scenic wonders worth seeing should meet
with sympathetic spirit and receive the greatest
consideration and approval. But the government
is very backward in the matter of advertising and
will leave this particular promotion work to individ-
uals who may see its Importance.
