The State Highway Fund.

The Triton Gazette reminds US that in
addition to a Federal fund Of two and
half million dollars which became available
on July 1 for road building in Georgia,
there is also State Highway fund, derived
from the automobile tax, which amounts this
year to something more than two hundred
and sixty-seven thousand dollars. OF this
sum Tiff county will receive 81, BAT; Col
quit, $2,127; Cook, 1895; Irwin, $1,424:
Turner, $2,231 Worth, $2,11O, and others
in proportion.
These figures serve to indicate what far
reaching results will be obtained when the
States contribution to highway betterment
becomes relatively as substantial as that of
the counties and of the National Government.
Suppose, for instance, the state were to add
an equal amount to the two and half mil
lion dollars which now comes from the Fed
era1 treasury and the two and half million
which the counties raise, and were to con-
tinue this allotment for five years. The total
thirty-seven and a half million thus ex-
pended would put Georgia we'll on the way
to having one of Americas best designed
and best constructed road systems.
1t is in design even more than in con-
struction that the State can aid the highway
cause. What is most needed at this june
ture is the far-sighted supervision of a CEN
trail authority which can correlate and unity
the road work of the divers counties to the
end that each and every effort may con-
tribute to the working out of Statewide
plan Thus we shall develop a true system
of highways as distinguished from detached
stretches of good roads. 1t is only through
such a system that the improvements made
by the individual counties will yield the rich
estxmeasure of results.

OF THE AMERI-
CAN LEGION.
(The Admission (AIa.) Starr

With the same spirit of loyalty that char
acterized the brave soldiers who followed the
fortunes of Robert e. Lee in the sixties and
who returned to their stricken homes in the
south to begin life over again is the move
ment now under way in Alabama for the
formation of a branch of the American legion,
a movement worthy Of every attention at
the hands of the home soldiers :
Democracy is to be the keynote Of the
American legion. Within it's ranks there is
to be an equality of officers and men which
will forever insure the lasting good it. can do
by the keeping alive of the fine principles
for which American soldiers fought and died
on the bloody fields of France.
The first caucus to be held in Birmingham
the middle of July will bring together many
of the brave heroes who journeyed across the
seas to fight the battles of common human
ity, and seldom since the early days Of the
organization of the Confederate veterans into
body Of brave men, determined to keep
alive the principles for which they fought and
bled, has gathering of heroes in this state
been featured by more interesting phases of
public attention than is being directed to the
Birmingham meeting July 16 and II.

~ ONE months ago it was suggested in
The Journal that Union county, along
with other mountain counties of Geor-
gia, required only highway connection with
the outside world in order to- prove their
strength and extend the sphere of their in
fluence and hospitality We felt confident
that Union and her sister counties would not
lag when the opportunity knocked at their
door to overcome the obstacles of develop
ment that nature has placed in their path.
It is with especial pleasure therefore that
The Journal today invites attention to the
action of Union and Towns counties in voting
bond issues for the construction OF highways
through their mountains and bringing their
people, the products and their scenery nearer
to the thousands of Georgians who are I'M
familiar with the mountainous section OF
their state.
By a vote that was almost unanimous the
citizens of Union county last Monday, author
lied an issue of 100000 in bonds for the con-
struction of system of good roads, one of
which will form the connecting link of a
great scenic highway between Atlanta and
Asheville, N. G.. We are sure that every
Georgian will welcome the announcement
that this highway is assured as the result of
Union countys patriotic and sensible action.
It has been only a short time since the
county of Towns, also, authorized bond is
sue for highway construction, and we are in
formed that the officers of both Towns and
union counties now are pefIeCtIuS pldHS lOf
the improvement Of the roads through the
mountains. In conjunction with Rabun
county, which also has authorized an issue
of bonds for road building, we are informed
Towns county plans a magnificent scenic
highway between Clayton and Hiwassee,
in which region is located Young Harris, one
of the famous schools Oh the state, there to
be linked with the Asheville-Atlanta road,
passing through Blairsville.
For those who have never visited the noun
famous section of Georgia the construction
of system Of highways in Union, Towns,
Rabun and other counties means great deal.
It means that the valleys Of this section,
which are among the most fertile in the
state, will be placed in easy access of the
motorist, while the farm products will be
placed within easy reach of the markets. 1t
means, moreover, that the mountain people
and the people of the lowlands will become
better acquainted to the pleasure and
benefit OF each. 1t means, in addition, that
the prettiest scenery in the whole world will
be opened up to the Georgians who love ma
tuFe, and that very shortly the mountain
counties of Georgia will vie in popularity
with the recognized Fairgrounds of the coun-
try. ~

TEMPORARY WATERWORKS

The Press is unalterably op-
posed to the scheme to put in a
little temporary water system
around the square. This would
probably be satisfactory to the
few who were benefited by this
half baked affair, but what
about the people who live out a
little way from the courthouse?
Are not the residences as much
entitled to fire protection as the
business houses? Of course the
financial loss on a burned resi-
dence is not as large in dollars
and cents as it would be in a fire
in the business section, but if a
man loses ten dollars worth Of
furniture and it is all he possesses
it is a greater loss to him than a
loss of an entire stock of mer-
chandise does to most of our
merchants.
Then another objection to a
temporary system is that once

business houses the temptation
