stated that he was on his way to
Moultrie, and stopped over to con-
fer with the commissioners. He rec
commended the bituminous asphalt
type of paving as best for the needs
here, concurring completely in the
recommendation of W. R. Neal,

bridge expert who was present, who
was sent by the state Highway de-
partment to New York state recently
to inspect the many types of paving
used there, including large amount
of bituminous asphalt, also unquall-
fiedly joined in recommending that
type for laying here.
Upon invitation of Prof. Neale,
who is now connected with the Find
lay Construction Company, which
builds bituminous asphalt roads,
Chairman Neill Ray appointed Com
missioners Poole and Statham, Coun-
ty Attorney Maynard and Lovelace
Eve to go to Atlanta next Tuesday at
the firms expense to inspect speci-
mems of that type of road now in
use in the vicinity of Atlanta.

Ba::-aoridg Banker
Denied New Trial

ATLANTA, Nov. THE court of
appeals yesterday declined to grant
new trial to R. H. May, of Balm
bridge, Ga, who was convicted of
voluntary manslaughter and sentenc-
ed to serve eighteen years for the
killing of H. S. Richardson, on June
%, 1918.
Richardson was president of one
bank in Bainbridge and May was
president of another. They became
involved in an alteration in Mays
office over certain securities and May
Shot and killed Richardson. At the
trial he claimed he fired in self-de-
tense and that Richardson was adj
vancing upon him with an automobile
crank, making the statement that he
was going to "fx him."
Mays lawyers asked for new
trial on the ground that the trial was
marked by improprieties and that the
presiding judge allowed certain ir-
regularities which were prejudicial to
the interests of the defendant.

EASY CONDITIONS
FOR RE-INSURINC
EX-SERVICE MEN

Easy conditions under which ex-
service men may be re-instated for
war risk insurance have just been re
ceived by Col. E. A. Nesbit, secretary
Of the recently disbanded Sumter
county draft board, from headqaar-
ters in Washington. These condl-
tons are reprinted here for the in
formation of the nearly 1000 ex-
service men of this community:
j, series of decisions issued by the
director of the bureau of war risk IN
sUl4nce with the approval of the sec
rotary of the Treasury provides laore
liberal conditions for reinstatement
of !spwsed or Cancelled insuranced.
The provisions of Treasury Decis-
ion No. AZ, allowing eighteen months
from the date of discharge for rein
statement upon payment of only two
months premiums on the amount of
insurance to be reinstated, are re
tanned That decision is liberalized,
however, by new provision that men
out of the service are permitted to
reinstate by merely paying the two
months premiums without making a
statement as to health at any time
within three calendar months follow
ing the month of discharge.
after the three months following
the date of discharge have elapsed,
statement from the applicant to the
effect that he is in as good health as
at the date of discharge or at the ex-
piration of the grace period, which
ever is the later date, will be ,requir-
ed, together with a written appllca-
ton for reinstatement and the tender
, of two months premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to re-
instate,
| SIN order to give all former ser
vice men whose insurance has lapsed
or been Cancelled, fair chance to re-
instate their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service
eighteen months or more, and who
are therefore barred from relnState-
ment under the former ruling, a
special blanket ruling is made which
allows all ex-service men to relnstate
their insurance before December 81
1919, provided that each applicant Is
in as good health as at date of dis
charge or at expiration of the grace
period, which ever is the later date,
and so states in his application. vi
course it is necessary that he tender
the two months premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to re-
instate.
Service men who reinstated Their
insurance by payment of all back
premiums prior to July 25, 1919
when the decision requiring payment
of only two months premiums went
into effect, upon written application
to the bureau may have any prem
iums paid in excess of two applied
toward the payment of future prem
iums. For example. if after a policy
had lapsed for isx months, a man re!
instated and paid six months prem
iums, instead of two, he may secure
credit for four months premiums.
: "The provisions for reinstatement
: do not protect a man until he ac-
: tually reinstates. If he waits he may
not be in as good health as he was
at the time of his discharge and con-
| sequently may not be able to secure
reinstatement.

MILITARISM GROWS

PACIFISTS WORRIED
OVER THE OUTLOOK

BERLIN. April 2i.-,By Mall --sinco
its birth the German Republic has had
20 decide between two opposite eX-
iremes. TO maintain Itself and keep from
being overthrownN by the radicals.
The two courses open. as the Ebert
Scheidemann cabinet saw them, were:
i.-BOwing 20 ne demands Of the pro-
lelariat and becoming radical, almost 10
the extent OF communism, or at least
extreme socialism.
2.-BccOming mililaristic and follow
ing the methods OF the old German gov
ernment OF crushing opposition by
force.
More and more 70 Is becoming clear
that the cabinet chose the latter course,
probably in sclf-defense. and under the
prelext OF saving Germany from Boil
shevism.
What is more serious, both 90 the
Germans and other peoples, is that the
German Republic is becoming handy
with mililarism and under the cover
OF resisting Bolsheylsm.' is evidently
trying 10 hide the strength Of The Re-
public's military machine.
