CRISP RETURNS;
CONFIRMS NEWS
OF FLYING FIELD

Congressman Chas. r. Crisp brought
back in person from Washington to-
day confirmation of the word prev
iously received here that Souther Field
had been placed on the active list by
the war department, making it as per-
manent as any of the fields now in ex-
istence
Il can't give you much more infor
nation" said he to The Times-Re-
corder, than that which l sent from
Washington. Shortly before left
Washington the secretary of war in
formed me that the recommendation
of the aircraft division that Souther
Field be retained had been adopted by
the general staff and the order signed
by him, making it effective. Also the
department had arranged to purchase
the ground on which the field is locat-
ed-which had been under lease
which means that the government in
tends to retain the field.
"The flying field at Memphis was in
cluded in the order with Souther, and
it, too, became permanent, they re-
placing two of the six fields which
had previously been designated to re-
main on the active list" He stated
that Souther Field had much better
recommendations. for retention than
the Memphis field, the aircraft division
being especially anxious that this field
be kept in active service, and that had
it been an issue between Memphis and
Souther the latter would have won out
easily. In his efforts to secure the re-
tention of the field he was ably assist
ed by Senator Mcclellan, of Tennessee.
Mr.. Crisp declared Americus is to be
congratulated upon having the field
made permanent, because of its value
in putting Americus on the map"
Judge Crisp did not tarry long in
Washington after the adjournment of
Congress, he and Mrs. Crisp taking
the first available train for home, and
arriving last evening.
And I am mighty glad to get here,
too," he declared, for it has been a
long and hard grind, and l am tired

Judge and Mrs. Crisp will remain at
their home here most of the time un-
til the expected extra session is called
by President Wilson. They will take
a short trip to Porto Rico next month,

first offer. Two hundred thousand

Every effort is being made to
get the prizes on display in the
business office of The Times-Rs-

ficult to obtain a bort car at this

than the factory can supply the
dealers. The Georgia Motor Co.,
of Americus, the agents in this To-

nothing undone to get one of these
cars here for the display Satur-

have said that it must be here and
it will in all probability be on
display.
This firm has disposed of sew

COUNTY BOARD
LETS FARMERS
ICKROADSFOR
BOND PAVING
Agree to Let Committee, Picked by
Militia districts, Fix Program
With U. S. Agent

In order that the people themselves
may name the roads of the county that
are to be paved with the money raised
from the proposed 100000 bond is
sue which will be voted on April g.,
together with the $500,O0O to be sup.
piled by the government, the com.
missioners of Sumter county today
agreed, in case the bonds are voted, to
leave the designation of the roads to
be paved to committee composed of
one man from each militia district, to
be selected by the people of the dis
tricts, TO act with the representatives
of the government. This plan, it was
agreed, was the most fair and impair
tial that could be worked out, and one
that could not be opposed by any fair
minded man.
While the call for the special cleo
tion,' said Mr. Ray, mentions the
Georgia Highway map on file in the
commissioners Office, it is by no
means our plan to limit the construc-
ton of paved highways to the roads
approved as shown by this map. We
want taa pave the main roads in to ev-
cry section of this county, including
all those principal roads NOT ON the
official map. We realize that every
part of the county is entitled to paw
ed highways, and that, because their
value is realized all parts of the coun-
ty are clamoring for them OF course,
no one is SO foolish or narrow minded
as to believe or think that it is possi-'
bic to pave every cross road at first.
But / am sure the money will go
great deal farther than the program
outlined and the figures quoted indi-
Gated, and l want to assure the farm
ers of all parts of this county that
this money will be stretched as far
as possible.
I'VE have settled on no specifca-
tions of widths of roadways or any
other detail. The figures published in
The Times Recorder were correct as
discussed at the meeting, but they
weer considered only informally. And
l doubt very much whether they would
have been adopted had they been pre-
sented formally.
1--WE hope that by the time we get
this bond money and government
money available, we will be in a posi-
ton to work considerable number of
convicts on this road building PROPOSE
tion. This will cut the cost of con-
struction vastly and make the money
go great deal farther
1--WE now have an engineer figuring
on the cost of building this paving,
and hope within few days to have
some definite figures to give out"
