have the election held at once.

sioners:
Under the bill just passed by COR
gress, Georgia is entitled to 81, 100000
for road building This entire amount
must be called for and used by Geor-
gia within twelve months, or whatever
remains unusued will be, forfeited.
This money cannot be secured by
the state as whole. Extra sessions
Eof the legislature will not help in this
case.
"The only way in which this money
can be brought into Georgia within the
time required is for such coun-
ties as may be able to hold elections
and issue bonds, to call for and use
it. If Bibb county votes her 100000
road bonds on March 6, Bibb can get
100000 of this federal aid money to
match her issue, making a total Of
$1,4OO,000 for roads in your county.
This bill provides that counties
building roads may have federal aid

900 per mile. In other words. If the
width and construction of a road
should make it cost $4,000 per mile,
the government of the United States
will pay $4,000 of this cost
"The purpose of this is to induce

Only about 200 enlisted men and a
score of officers have been at Souther
Field since the reduction order was
made effective few weeks ago.
The news from Washington was
telephoned to headquarters at Souther
Field by The Times Recorder this af-
ternoon.
Good" was the shout of approval
that came from the other end of the
line The officers and men at Souther
Field have been highly interested in
the latest development, and have been
pulling" in every possible way for
the retention of the field.
No official orders had been received
at Souther Field today regarding the
change, but it was assumed that the
change would become effective very
shortly.
The success of the fight to retain
Souther Field is largely due to the
efforts of Congressman Crisp.

GOVERNMENT TO
help STATES In
PEACE PROBLEM

WASHINGTON, March 3-(By Asso-
ciated Press.) - Opening the White
House conference of governors and
mayors on peace time business and
labor problems, President Wilson to-
day promised that the federal govern
ment would consider itself the ser
want of the states, municipalities and
counties in solving REIMBURSEMENT pro-
bems and would perform its duty
guided by suggestions of the confer
ence.
The President said he hoped the dis
cussions would assume wide range,
including the means of restoring la
Dor conditions to normal basis as
soon as possible and effecting such
fresh ALLEGATIONS of labor and industry
as circumstances may make neces-
sary.''
The President said the Paris peace
conference delegates regarded them
selves only as servants os about 700,-
000, 900 people of the world, not as
their masters; that the conferees were
anxious to keep in close sympathy
with the peoples that they represent
President Wilson spoke briefly, con-
fining himself largely to welcoming
the visitors. promising complete fed
eral cooperation.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, who pre-
slider. told the conference that the re-
cent strikes in Seattle, Butts. Law
renee and other places were the re-
sulats of deliberate, organized at
tempt at social and political movement
to establish soviet government in the
states.
Secretary Wilson said that because
of the threatened shortage of work in
cident to the slowness of demobiliza-
ton, buffer employment must be
found and the best means uf furnish
ing this lay in the government. Sec
retaries Baker and Daniels also were
speakers.

Perhaps the clinching consideration
was the reference to the books of the
county treasurer, which showed that
the county had been spending on an
average of about 100000 yearly on dirt
highways and bridges-most of it for
highways-for the last fifteen years, or
about 100000 with nothing whatever
to show for it in the way of roads that
can be travelled in bad weather. 1t
was shown that the interest on the
proposed bond issue would be only
about $4,000 yearly, which would
leave sufficient balance when taken
from the amount now being annually
spent, maintain the roads not paved
at this time.
The commissioners decided to pro-
pose an issue of 100000 in bonds
bearing per cent. interest in denom-
nations of $1,000 and maturing In
80 years. The action of the COM
missioners was unanimous
The voting of the 100000 in bonds
will give Sumter county S1000,000 for
good roads. Figures and estimates
varied, but it was agreed that this
amount would give the county some
where between IS and 100 miles OF
paved highway, depending somewhat
upon the width of paving sufficient to
build these arteries of traffic into all
sections of the county and extending
to the county line on all sides, to con-
meet up with highways that might be
constructed by other counties.

the commissioners were L. G. Coun-

twenty prizes are good ones.
The vote schedule is so arranged
that there will be no money-spend-
ing, no chance game, but those
who go in to secure votes and
who take advantage of the first
offers will be the successful con-
testants.
The prizes will be on display, or
most of them, in the business office
of the Times Recorder within the
next few days and the public gen.
orally is invited to call and inspect
them. The Office will be open even

call during the day.

six months and three months sub
scriptions, the latter being the
!. smallest amount taken. One and
two-year subscriptions wills ra
accepted to The Weekly Times
Recorder.
The first offer of the big cam
paign gives the largest votes that
will be issued at any time during
the eight weeks campaign. The
first yearly, or the first two g.
months subscriptions to the Daily,
or the first four yearly subscrip-
lions to the Weekly, secures 200,-

$4,000 regular votes for six months
to the Daily, 10000 regular votes

100000 regular votes for the pay
ment of two years from one sub

ing the first subscription for one
year, or the first $500, secures
100000 extra votes besides the
regular vote, and the regular vote
is issued according to the term of
the subscription.
The nomination is good for So
600 votes. The coupon in the pa
per that will appear every after
noon and in the weekly is good at
Z this time for 500 votes and there
is no limit to the number that
can be voted for any one contest

on the offer for the first club of

one contestant will be permitted to
secure more than the 100000 extra
votes. The offer runs until March
Is. The sooner the first club is
secured the safer.

NOMINATIONS START IN BIG DRIVE
FOR Times RECORDER READERS

Nominations started coming in
today in The Times-Recorder's
great Notwithstanding cam
paign, the first announcement of
which appeared in Sundays edi-
ton. The immediate response of
the public to the offer which en-
braces $4,000 in prizes, to be dis
tributed among q contestants, in
addition to cash commissions to
all workers who do not win prizes,
was equal to the high expectations
of the publishers, and the pros
poets are for a most successful
drive.
Workers having volunteered or
having been placed in nomination
by friends, it is now up to the
general public to lend its support
to the movement to develop The
Times Recorder into a greater in
stitution. 1t is up to every loyal
citizen of Americas or Sumter
county who believes in the future
of the city and county, and who
realizes what power for good
and for the development of the
community a newspaper of wide
circulation can be, to assist the
canvessers in every possible way
No subscriber is permitted to pay
more than two years in advance,
but assistance may be given the
workers by all who have subscrib-
ed or paid in suggesting the names
of others not now subscribers who
might be glad to join The
Times Recorder family.
Encouraging words for the cam
paign are helpful, but work and
material assistance are necessary
to make it a success. This is the
kind of cooperation the public is
asked to give. The need for this
was realized by a citizen who
dropped in at The Times Recorder
Office this morning: Said he:
1T takes money to make a sue
cessful drive for anything, and
here is two-years subscription.
Put it in the campaign and give
the votes to friend of mine who
will, no doubt, get busy. And let
others follow-do the same and we
will have real newspaper with
circulation that will keep Sum-
ter county constantly in the public
eye"
The gentleman was a subscriber
to the paper, but he showed the
right spirit. If others will give
their subscriptions when called
upon, or volunteer in the begin
ming, there is no doubt about at
tanning the results set out to ac-
complish.
1t costs nothing to enter, and it
costs the patrons of the paper
nothing but a paid-up subscrip-
ton, two years being the limit
for which any one can pay, and
for which votes will be issued.
Votes will be issued on one-year,
