SUMTER COUNTY VOTES
S5OO,OOO ROAD BONDS
WAS PRACTICALLY NO OPPOSE
TON, AND AN ALMOST UNAN-
IMOUS VOTE WAS CAST.

AMERICUS, Ga.-Sumter county
voters today adopted the proposal
to issue 100000 in permanent road
Improvement bonds, and the program
of paving heretofore adopted by the
county authorities is now assured
The bonds to be issued will consti-
tute the entire permanent indebted
ness of Sumter county, every other
attempt to issue bonds for any pur-
pose in recent years having been de-
cisively defeated when voted upon.
This county, however, has long been
proud of its reputation as the ban
ner good roads county of Southwest
Georgia, and the voters today over
whelmingly ratified the proposition to
build permanent concrete roads in
every part of the county.
In the Leslie precinct, where the
only real opposition to the bond is
sue proposal was encountered, the
vote was favorable to bonds, 90 to
So; and at Plains, the largest pre-
cinct in the county outside of Amer
lcus, out of 105 votes cast only one
was registered against bonds. In the
Sumter City district the vote was as
to l in favor of the bonds; and in
the old sixteenth district, one of the
smaller precincts, the vote was 33 to
0 in favor of bonds.
In Americas the vote was $50 for
bonds and against. The first hum
dred votes were cast openly for
bonds.
The total vote in the county was
1,1O9 for bonds and rs against.
The campaign for bonds was wag-
ed under direction of Judge James
A. HiXon, and was one of the most
thoroughly organized in the history
of the county.

LOCAL SHOP WINDOWS HER.
AID APPROACH OF EASTER
Many Bright and Attractive Displays
of Spring Goods in Latest Styles.

The shop windows are heralding
the near approach of Easter in many
bright and attractive displays of
spring goods in all the latest styles
and tlntS of the seasons gorgeous
offerings. Artistic taste is shown in
the decorations that make one linger
to take in all the details and charm
that always attaches to birds and
blossoms, and "Brer Rabbit" and
bright colored Easter eggs. The mer-
chants are to be congratulated on
their enterprise in making prepara-
ton for the joyous season, and they
are being rewarded in satisfied GUS
toners from a wide territory, who
have found that Dawson can supply
the needs of all reasonable shoppers
The volume of business increases
with every day.
AS some writer expresses it, "Eas-
ter is a time of rejoicing apart from
its religious significance. What a
gift is life at this time. What joy it
is to live! The joy of the visions of
the eye; of the beautiful and sublime
in nature; of activity and work and
overcoming difficulties; Of high and
noble aims and of elevated thoughts;
of friendship and love; of doing
good; of harmonies of music; of wor-
ship and prayer-these are some of
the joys of life that loom largest in
the spring of the year, when death
is swallowed up in life.
Whether it happens early or late
Easter always has a relation to
spring which time has sanctioned in
curious diversity of ways. In the
social sense Easter unlocks spring. 1t
opens the door to new season. Fash
ion has taken the liberty of making
it dividing line over which it like
wise takes the liberty of stepping
whenever it chooses. In a church
sense the day holds the high poetry
and profound religious significance
which the day derives from the resur-
rection. Thus, from many sides the
day acquires a color of new hopes
and expectations"

MIR. LEON M'LENDON
DIED SUNDAY
BROUGHT HOME BY PARENTS
FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. OPER-
ATED ON THREE TIMES.

Mr.. Leon McLendon died Sunday
at the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. NJ. McLendon, near Herod,
after an illness of several months.
The young man, whose home was in
Florence, s. c., was operated on
three times and when able to be NOV
ed, was brought from a sanitarium
to Dawson on a cot and taken at
once to his boyhood home just a
week ago, where it was hoped he
would rapidly improve. Everything
that the love of his family and the
skill of physicians could suggest was
done for him, but there was never
any marked improvement.
The funeral occurred at Cedar Hill
cemetery Monday afternoon at 8 $50
O'Clock, conducted by Rev. T. M. Cal
laway.
The young man is survived by his
wife and four children, besides many
relatives and friends in this his home
county, who mourn the early passing
of such a promising young life.

TAX PRoFITEERING

The so-called luxury tax" was
devised in haste to raise money
quickly during the war. With the
war over it falls far short of its
purpose in that it taxes the public
for necessities of life by merely call
ing the article luxury" 1t adds
to the cost of living of every fami-
ly and strikes the poor hardest OF
all as the extra tax pennies they
have to dig up eat heavily into
their income.
Everyday articles of use such as
toilet supplies and drugs, ice cream
and candy, can hardly be called lux,
uries and yet the tax on these and
similar articles adds materially to
cost of living today.
The. war is over and our tax prob
lens can now be faced in an intelli-
gent manner and arranged over a
period of years instead of heaping
loads on industry and

HARD FACTS

/ The federal trade commission
charges that the big packers abso-
lutely control the livestock market.
1t seems little remarkable if this
be true, that the prices of livestock
continue to advance. Usually, a
business man who can name his own
buying price makes it lower instead
of higher. The trade commission S
statement looks absurd on the face
of it. The packers cannot compel
the production of livestock; Meth
er can they force the producer to
sell until he is ready to do so. The
livestock shipper knows in advance
within a few cents of what he will
get for his animals before ne starts
them to market If the packers con-
troll the market why don't they
hammer down the price? Hogs at
S23 and cattle at $3.50 should be
fairly remunerative to the produc~
ers. How much do they want?-To-
