Campfire Girls of
Plains Flouriishing

PLAINS, March 22-The Plains
Camp Fire Girls have a fiourishing
organization under the leadership of
Miss Maggie Jenkins. The club was
last year and has proved to
be successful undertaking.
The girls of this set are noted for
along all lines They have
enjoyed fully their hikes, outdoor sup
pers and breakfasts and camping trips.
Also among these girls are found
many of the best students in Plains
school. In patriotic enterprises they
have led all the grades both in giving
money and home work. Lately they
have been selling sandwiches and
candy on the street to raise fund
they subscribed to a patriotic cause.
The rains have deprived them of some
outdoor pleasures lately, but plans are
already made for some interesting out
door occasions soon.

ments, but they joined to man in the
solution finally adopted.
John Sheffield received hearty ap-
plause when he told the meeting that
he would vote for the bonds for paw
ing any road in the county, he didn't
care where it was designated, SO GER
tain was he of the value of paved
roads to the county, and so eager was
he to see the bonds carry and the
movement inaugurated. He was fol-
lowed by ]. J. Wilson, county commits
sioner, who spoke along the same line.
"Mr. Sheffield has struck the chord
that should be the spirit of this meet
ing and of every man in Sumter coun-
ty," said Mr. Wilson "We can't any
of us afford to do less than Mr.. Shelf
field has suggested. live on the Lee
street road myself, but if you don't
vote to pave Lee street, I'll vote for
the bonds anyway But if you do, I'll
feel better"
Congressman Crisp received a big
hand when he announced that, while
no paved road would pass his farm, he
was so strong for paved highways in
Sumter county that, in spite of the fact
that he and Mrs. Crisp expected to
sail from New York for Porto Rico on
April IL, he was determined to remain
here and vote for the bonds on
April 8.
The meeting ended amid great
wave of enthusiasm for paved high
ways and as the committeeman were
leaving the court room cards, pledg-
ing the signers to vote for the bond
issue, were distributed and 125 signed
cards were left with the secretary.
All of the committeeman took
cards with them to obtain pledges
from their neighbors and friends.
1t was announced that packages of
these pledge cards would be mailed
Monday to every committeeman, who
will be asked to obtain the pledge of
every voter in his community to sup
port the bond issue April 8.

date when President Wilson hopes to
return to the United States.
1t is possible that if the treaty is
sufficiently advanced to warrant such
action, a special session of the senate
may be called earlier to afford it op-
portunity to deal with this subject be-

1t was a great meeting-a meeting
by every man in most magnanimous
spirit the whole thought of the meet
ing being the success of the bonds, re-
gardless of what roads are to be paw
ed However, the agreement as final
ly reached was generally regarded as
most happy solution, and one which
cannot consistently be opposed by any
fair minded citizen. 1t was plan
worked out after much thought by
Judge Hixon and other citizens of the
the county. Chairman Hixon opened
the meeting with detailed and thor
ough explanation of the plan.
The details of this plan, which are
embodied in the resolutions adopted
by the county board following the
meeting, are published in full in page
announcement in this edition of The
Times Recorder, accompanied by a
map of Sumter county, embracing the
roads contemplated in the project, ex-
cept the Lee street road, the status of
which is indefinite.
Briefly, the program calls for the
pavement of the designated roads each
from Americus to a point within IL
miles of the county line, three miles
of each to be built first, and then the
balance of each to be completed at
such rate of speed as will permit them
all to be completed to the designated
termini simultaneously. The roads
designated are: Americus to 28th
District; Americus to Oglethorpe;
Americus to Ellaville; Americus to
Friendship; Americus to Preston;
Americas to Dawson; Americus to
Leesburg; Americus to Cordele;
Americas to Vienna. Added to this is
the Lee street road, with the stipula-
ton that it shall be paved 'if it should
be found that funds are available; 9TH
erwise, this road is not to be in
cluded"
The program calls for the compile
ton of each of these roads to the
county lines Immediately or as soon
as possible after any other county
completes the same roads to it's coun-
ty line, thereby making the connection
between the two counties
The program also favors an 1S-foot
roadway; the construction Of the paw
ing by contract, and that the work, if
possible, be done in such mannar as
not to interfere with farm lsbor.
The Lee street project was not in
cluded in the original plan for rea-
sons explained by Chairman Hixon
(who lives on this road, the chief of
which was that his calculations had
shown that the county board would
not be able with the funds at their
disposal, to include this road and at
the same time complete the other pro-
jects to the county lines when the
other counties had built their roads as
set forth in the pledge the board was
to be asked to sign, A lively discus
sion took place, in which several men
interested in having the Lee street
road paved also voiced their senti-
