OF PAVED ROADS
Americas Man and Partner Success.
full Bidders Terms Held Secret
Until Papers Are Signed.

The first actual step toward the
carrying out of Sumter eounty's mil
lion dollar federal aid road project
since the voting of the bonds was TAX
en- this morning when the board of
contract for the engineering work to
the firm of Thomas & Hawkins, of
Atlanta, of which Joe Hawkins, of
Americus, is partner. The details
of the terms of the bid and contract
were not made public by the board, it
being deemed advisable not to give out
this information until the contract has
actually been entered into. 1t was
stated, however, that of several writ
ten proposals received that of Thomas
& Hawkins was considered the most
satisfactory.
Mr.. Hawkins and his partner, Knox
T. Thomas, were both in Americas to-
day, and were before the board this
morning, after their bid for the work
had been accepted. Mr. Hawkins will
return to Atlanta today, but Mr..
Thomas will remain here until the
return of R. L. Maynard, county attor-
ney, from Macon. where he is attend
ing Federal court, and until the con-
tract is signed.
I'VE expect to have probably two
crews of field men on the job here by
The first of next week." said Mr.. Haw-
kins, land will get busy and clean Up
the surveying part of the job as quick
ly as possible. We will not do the
"preliminary" work at this time, but
will go to work and complete the
drawings and plans for each project
The preliminary data required for
obtaining federal aid can be compiled
in a short time and will be prepared
in plenty of time. We will open an
Office here from which our operations
will be carried on, but more of our
drafting work will be done in our At
lanta office, where we have the facili-
ties and a force of craftsmen already
employed.
THE two crews of men which will
be put on the job at once will consist
of about six men each, or twelve men
altogether at this time
The employment of Thomas & Haw-
kins means that no delay or risk will
be encountered by the county in hay
ing their engineer approved, this firm
already being engaged on highway en-
gineering projects to which they were
assigned by the state highway depart
ment. One of these projects is the
Sumter county bridge project, for
which the county was recently allotted
$4,000 federal aid. They also have
road project in Walger county in hand
and are. preparing to bid on num-
Der of other federal aid projects which
will soon be ready.

WOMEN START
FIGHT TO GAIN
PRIMARY VOTE

ATLANTA, May SO highly en-
couraged are Atlanta suffrage leaders
by their successful movement to vote
in the city white primary of Atlanta
that they have now launched move
ment to vote in the Democratic pri-
maries all over the state.
They have had their lawyers pre-
pare a bill authorizing white women
TO vote in the Democratic white pri-
maries and have secured the promise
of the Fulton delegation in the House
of Representative to introduce the
bill in the next session of the legis-
lature which meets the latter part Of
next month.
The suffrage leaders believe the leg
islature may grant the women of Geor-
gia the right to participate in white
primaries. This would remove the ar
gument, advanced by opponents of the
suffrage, that the negro women would
become political factor if women
were allowed to vote. 1t would afford
the women an opportunity to show
their intelligent grasp of political is
sues and would pave the way later
for genuine suffrage by constitutional
mendment.

WHERE LOAN
MONEY GOES

NEW YORK, May THE money
l 1Nraised from the Victory Liberty
loan will be used to pay for bring
ing troops home from France, the
cost of their rehabilitation. part
of the war insurance claims of the
soldiers and sailors killed or in
jured in the fighting and will fur
nish funds for the care of the
wounded and for the vocational
training of the manned and other
postwar expenses, says a repre-
sentative here of the Liberty loan
committee.
"One the biggest items of ex-
pense will he for the transperta-
ion and demobilization of the
troops, the cost of which, from the
time the armistice was signed un-
til the army is returned to peace
basis, will amount to approximate
ly $2,320,273, ,000 There were about
two million men overseas when the
fighting ended according to the al

cost 5000 a man to bring them from
the fighting lines in France and
Belgium to their homes in the

soldiers to France, 124 million
their fare across the Atlantic and

their homes.
Ten Months to DemObilize.
1T will take at least ten months,
the army authorities say, to COM
plete the rehabilitation of the
troops from overseas. Their main
tenance in that period, including
housing, clothing and food, will
amount to 1000 million dollars, of
which 1919 ,42S,130 will be for
food.
THE rehabilitation, transporta-
tion and maintenance expenses of
the 1,655,000 soldiers who did not
get to France will amount to about
$920,273,000, bringing the total for
the whole army to the amount al
ready stated, $2,320,273 900, which
will make quite hole in the Vic
tory Loan receipts.
There are about two hundred
thousand sick and wounded sold

G. R. ELLIS, Chairman.

With her quota in the Victory L IN
drive less than half raised, and arith
the last week of the drive already
half gone, Sumter county faces the
peril of going down in history as
Stacker county in the last of the
great war loans, after having made
clean and honorable record in the
other four.
This was made plain this morning
at a spirited meeting of Chairman
Ellis committee workers. limited
number of them-at the courthouse,
1t was the unanimous opinion that
something must be done-and done
quickly-to save the honor of the
county. And a program of quick and
intensive action was arranged when
calls for day of preparation Thurs
day and another intensive drive FIJI
day, in which every energy will be
bent bv the workers toward bringing
Sumter county up to the expectations
OF the government.
"The people are not awake to the
gravity of the situation facing this
county, said Joseph Perkins, secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce. who
at the suggestion of President High
tower. arranged to give all of his time
to the campaign until it is successfully
finished.
Every Mans Duty.
There has been too much talk
about the investment feature of the
boads.'' said ]. R. Cargill. This is
not only an investment, but it is the
patriotic duty of every citizen to
save the good name of Sumter county.
1t is imperative that the danger that
confronts the county and the lgno-
miny which we face If we fail to
reach our quota, be impressed upon
every individual"
Chairman Ellis in reply to ques-
tions. stated that he had been unable
to get reports from anywhere, except
Americus, and even these were incom-
plete. but it was apparent that not
more than $1500O0 total had been sub
scrihed of the quota of $32S,250. He
declared that the delay in turning in
the cards has been great handicap
and that it was absolutely essential
that these be returned tonight, so that
new lists can be made up at once for
the new drive Friday. He stated that
it had been hoped to have list OF
the loan subscribers ready for publ
cation in this afternoons paper, but
that difficulty in compiling the hs'
had made it impossible TO prepare II

 Springfield. Mo.-The raising of An gora goats for food and mohair is des- tined to become an important phase of the live stock industry of Missouri, ac- cording to Dr. A. F. Kinsley, a deputy state veterinarian, who, with c. E. de Croft of Reede Spring, secretary of the American Angora Goat Breeders As sociation, has just completed an in spection of herds in Vernon, Stone, Christian, Webster and Greene eoun- ties. About five thousand goats were inspected.
 The purpose of the inspection tour was to ascertain the truth of reports that an epidemic of takosis had broken out among the Southwest Missouri fiocks and was of serious proportion Takosis corresponds to tuberculosis in the human family. Doctor Kinsley said that of the five thousand goats exam ined, only about , per cent were found to have the disease. A remedy for com batting the disease is now being ex- perimented with by the state veterin- ary department.
 De Groff, who is doing much to build up the goat industry in Missouri. said that the greatest revenue to farmers was from the sales of mohair The fleece sells by the pound and is based on the length of the hair.
