cred From All Parts
OF The State

Atlanta. Walter p. Andrews OF At.
lanta, who is serving as member OF
the special highway commission of the
legislature, has drawn a bill calling
for a constitutional amendment to
provide state system of highways,
which will be introduced at the next
session These plans have been in
dorsed by Judge #. e. Patterson, the
chairman of the state highway com
mission, who has prepared a compre-
hensiye analysis of the bill Here is
what Judge Patterson says: Il am
confident that when the situation is
fully understood the Andrews bill, or
one with similar provisions, will be in
dorsed, for it accomplshes what most
of the people desire in the shortest
time possible In the first place it
stabilizes the highway department by
making il a part Of the constitution
and establishes highway system that
reaches every county seat town in the
state, thus giving to each county its
just share and proportion of these
BY anticipating the autos
mobile taxes under an amortization, or
bond plan, we secure sufficient funds,
when taken in connection with what is
to be expected from the
federal government to provide for
this system and no injustice is done
to the automobile owners in each of
the counties, for they will be securing
the benefits by having the use Of the
hard-sulfaced roads while they are
paying the necessary taxes to accom-
nlish this result"

National Farmers Union.

The cotton crop and reduction in acre
aye planted to cotton were urged at
the meeting of the Farmers Educa-
tional and Cooperative Union of
America, in convention here. Speak
ers pointed out that more diversified
farming plan would aid in the develop
,nent of the south, which had been
handicapped by confirming farming OPP
Arations to cotton.
A report by the committee on cotton
and cotton products, said: :?
"Thfere have been more severe re-
5trictions on cotton ever since the be-
Ginning of the war than on any other
farm product. Even today there are
restrictions on the trade with our
allies.
with these facts as a basis we feel
justified in asking our government to
make every effort to have these re-
strictions removed at the earliest
possible moment"
The report also advocated in the
acreage OF cotton declaring that the
south had been brought to industrial
slavery by dependence upon one crop.

on it favorably. There is compare

chosen for the landing except to have
it smoothed over and few trees TAX

Letter From Germany

Bitburg, Germany. Dec. 10, 1918.
Mr. NJ. H. Carver, Natchitoches, La.
My dear Sir and Friend:
J Now that the war has ended and we
have time to 90 other things beside
fighting and studing the art and methods
OF destroying the enemy. | wish to
write just a few lines to you. | am
sure that it would interest you in know
ing the results of the efforts of the
people back home.
First, let me state that all of us over
here knew that those back home were
backing us, not only with dollars and
cents. but with their hearts and souls.
You should know and feel that any
effort you made back there helped to
win the war just as much as sending
over a clip from a Springfield into
Fritz's lines over here.
Anyway, that is what we think.
Twas never in favor of suffrage for
women until / saw them on the Front.
l saw women driving ambulances for
the Red Cross within four or five kilo-
meters OF our front lines down shell
torn roads, cool and unconcerned. l
saw them make and serve hot chocolate
and doughnuts to men coming out of
the line, in which was once a town but
now nothing but crunbling walls. in
the rain and cold. One shell, had it
hit in that bunch, would have scattered
their remains fifty yards.
| could name hundreds of cases where
| saw them on the Front. if time and
space permitted. Butafter seeing what
| saw, my opinion was changed about
them and if there is anything l can do
to help, let the women vote, I'll sure
do it..
Since coming over here l have been
transferred to another division, and was
on several Fronts. l saw both the
trench and open warfare and | don't
care how brave men are at home and
how little you want to live, those shells
which Fritz used to send oyer to us
just naturally got a fellows goat
When you hear a man say he wasn't
scared when he crawled over the para
pet, you can know that he never was
there.
The close of the wal found me in the
assault wave, dangerously near The re-
firing Huns. Since then we became
part of the army OF occupation and
marched through France. Belgium and
Luxembourg We seem to have halted
in our advance. as we have been in this
locality for about two weeks. At the
present time l am billed, with Count
Adelman, who is the Landrat.
This section Of the country is divided
into two sections with a landrat over
each. He is born into the job and pass
es it to the Oldest son. He seems to

Each town has a Burgomaster and if

and your family, l am,
