LET'S HAVE A HIGHWAY ACT.

In a talk in Americas last week, President Leland j.
body formed at Macon few months ago as an amalga
nation of state highway movements warned the people
that Georgia in grave danger OF obtaining no high
way legislation whatever at the coming session of the
Legislature, now only few days away.
According to Mr. Henderson's view-and that view
is shared by others-the chief danger lies in lack of
concentration up to this time on the bill which has been
prepared by the commission appointed to draw up act
for presentation to the coming assembly Apparently th
state at large feeling that the opposition to the bill
already drawn and widely endorsed would be slight and
ineffective has to sleep the subject considering
it needless to make fight for something already
good won.
But the fight is NOT won, and it is up to Sumter
county, and Dooly and Crisp and Lee and Terrel-and
every other county in Georga-to get behind this high
way bill RIGHT NOW if any results are to be accom-
plished.
Stephen Pace, one of Sumters representatives in
che house, in interview declares his intention to sup
port the Assembly Highway BILL largely because of his
faith in the behind and realizing that unless the
members support it little be expected in the way
results this session. Mr. Pace is going to Atlanta to
ASSIST in getting adequate highway legislation through
at this sessionnot with highway bill of his own which
will divide the sentiment as it has been limited will be
the with several members of the assembly eager
TO see their own names attached to the highway bill
that finally wins.
Every county and the state a whole must awaken
quickly to the support of the Assembly highway BILL
Otherwise, it is goodbye highway legislation Georgia
for another IL months. And whole road building
programme far state system is concerned-s dead
at least 1vr now.

TRY AGAIN, DOOLY.

Only one bond disappointment anywhere in Geor-
gia could have caused deeper personal regret here
tnan that which developed for Dolly Tuesday That
might have been in our own county of Crisp We won
and hoped strongly that Dooy would get hers There
is hardly county in Georgia in better financial con-
dition than Dooly 1t is abundantly able to take the
step.
From many sources in our neighboring county
that it will be tried again No one is
of the method, but nearly every person talking
knows that the aim is permanent roads and Dooy
will be in line at the final roll call.
OF course, Dolly will try again. The better way
say it is Dolly will keep at it till she gets her per-
manent roads-Cordele Dispatch

JUNETIME

TT OW beautiful this old world is along about this
time of year! l look around and cry, Gee whiz!
1t makes me glad just to be here! would not give a
pcayune for who lets the tear drops leak these
are the famous days of June, of which the we'll
known poets speak" In all the ages bards have
spelled about this seasons joys and charms, have
sung the lilies of the field, and handed nosegays to
the farms Inspired by June the poet squirms, and,
like the grounding, leaves his hole, and chants
lay in ringing terms, with all the fervor of his soul
And though we pelt the bard with bricks, because
we're down on odes and things, he voices thoughts
that poor hicks can't give expression, when he
sings. In June we all would poets be, if we knew
how to handle Tyres; the brooks, the woods, the
flowery lea, all serve to light poetic fires. Emo
tons strange our bosoms thrill we wish we had a
harp or pen, and we'd embalm the sunlit HILL the
zephyr singing through the glen. We'd like to voice
the thoughts that throng, about the landscape and
the skies; we strive to plan noble song, and end
by saying "Dern the flies"

BOYS WILL BE BOYS

Canada, some $4,000 men, will quit work at 10 O'Clock
next Tuesday morning If these 35 900 quit all the
railways in Canada will be tied up Such strike at the
present moment would be little short of catastrophe
for Canada 1t would prevent many thousands of
ing soldiers from reaching their home would delay or
destroy millions of tons of food which is urgently need
ed by the people, and would bring industry of all kinds
practically to a standst.
This Canadian problem also menaces this country
very seriously The threatened strike of the railway
shopmen for instance might conceivaby spread to the
United States Of the four divisions of railway shopmen
three extend to the United States and now that sym
pathetic strike" is becoming the fashion the three
American divisions might join their Canadian brothers
Already we the verge of tie-up of our tele-
graph and telephone lines. In either contingency the
suffering and loss must be borne in the aggregate
mostly by innocent third parties rather than the strikers
and their employers
Evidently we cannot depend upon the public spr-
edness of either employers employees for protection
IN such crises Means for protecting the general public
must be cought elsewhere Government operation has
proven unsatisfactory Arbtration-co arbitra
ton if necessary-seems to be the only remedy: whv
should not the legislative authorities provide for
mediate application of this remedy?

PUBLIC IS ASKED
BY DR.. BOND TO
AVOID CROWDS

Influenza is an epidemic very re-
sponsive to weather conditions, and
the good weather of the last few days
undoubtedly will result in a sudden,
very marked diminution of influenza,
according to DR.. B. F. Bond, public
health commissioner, who today makes
another statement to the public to al
lay alarms, but to~caution the people
of the community to use care and cau-
tion in their daily life, in order that
closing of the churches and schools
may not have to be ordered again in
combating the disease.
The reports of physicians to DR..
Bond during the last few days have
shown a considerable number Of new
cases of the ailment, but he hopes the
crest has been reached and that with
cooperation on the part of the public,
conditions will improve again.
Dr. Bonds statement follows:
From the nature of the disease and
the fact that influenza is infectious,
we anticipated an increase following
the holidays. At that season a general
care-free feeling prevails and we en-
ioyed fully that freedom after the re-
straint of several weeks from enforc
ed suspension of those privileges.
"A careful study of our situation,
together with the experiences of other
localities, we have ascertained the fact
that climatic conditions materially af-
feet influenza. Most all theoretical
observers claim that influenza is more
prevalent during that period when the
diseases of the respiratory tract are
prevalent and our time for such dis
eases is principally in the fall and
winter months. The last time it was
thought advisable to close our schools
it was during that rainy season in the
early part of December. Immediately
following the closing order the
weather conditions improved and the
number of new cases diminished rap
idly and for several days before the
holidays we were without schools and
a very few cases of influenza.
Following this gay time and very
inclement weather we are having more
cases Of influenza than we have since
October but believing that we will
have cases all the winter and with
weather conditions as prevailing we
anticipate a rapid decline in the num-
ber of new cases. However, we should
be more cautions and careful of our
associations. We never know who
will be the next victim, and while we
are thankful that our city and county
has been fortunate in escaping the ex-
tent of ravages displayed in other
places yet many homes have been sad
dened within our knowledge, and 1t is
not known what or when the end
shall be And in. view Of all these con
ditions it is advisable and requested
that we again use all the precautions
we can; forego few social gatherings
and other non-essential meetings in
order that our churches and schools
may continue"

PARIS, Jan 10 by Associated
Press)-No one outside OF the dele
gates to the peace congress knows
anything about the discussion which
preceded today's decision to keep the
proceedings of the congress secret and
limit the information divulged to the
official statements. This decision will
preclude the American delegates
even President Wilson himself from
discussion of formal announcements.
1t has been believed by persons very
close to President Wilson that he
would contend for open sessions as
far as possible That he stilF feels the
same way is the opinion generally ex-
pressed tonight

FIREMEN OF CITY.

Men Petition Chief NayIof 10 Put
Increase Up to Officials
Again.

Americus may soon be without a
Te department, if the city council re
fpses a second time to grant request
fpr a raise in salary for the men. A
petition, presented this morning to
| Chief Naylor by the nine men of the
department, excepting Assistant Chief
! Dunn, who is elected by council, made
| ii plain that unless a raise is forth
| coming they would seek other en-
Eloyment. They assured him that
there was no. intention to strike and
leave the department helpless,
however.
| The fremen are now paid $65 per
month each. Chief Naylor proposed
to the new council recently that a
new schedule of wages be adopted
whereby men who had been in the de-
paTtment a year would receive $40
per month, but the request was re-
fused on advice of Alderman Poole,
chairman of the finance committee,
who declared that the condition of the
citys finances would admit of no in
creased expenses, much as the in
grease was deserved AS the men had
Counted on this increase, the petition
presented today served notice that if
they were to be retained an increase
would have to be granted
Chief Naylor has promised the men
to take up the request with the proper
committee of council at the first
opportunity.
The petition follows:
ITO B. L. Naylor chief of the fire
department of Americas, Ga:
Dear Sir: We, the undersigned
fremen of the city of Americus, do
hereby respectfully request of you to
ask for. and insist upon a raise in our
salaries for the year 1919, before the
Mayor and City Council of Americus.
TN view of the high cost of living,
We are hardly able to pay our actual
expenses out of the amount of salary
received by US at present
The salaries paid us are not at all
in proportion to the salaries paid to
other people, considering the length
Of hours in service We appreciate
the fact that you can not raise our
salaries, but that this raise must come
from the City Council. We are, there
fore, giving to you this notice and re-
quest, not in any spirit of dissatisfac-
ton as to the work, but with the sole
! view of trying to get our salaries
raised: and unless our salaries are so
raised we feel that we will have to
seek other employment.
This request is not made in 4 spirit
on our part to strike and leave the de-
rartment in a helpless or emDar:ass-
ing condition. We are interested in
our work, and want to give the city
the very best service that we can rem
der; but we feel that we are consid-
er'lbly handicapped, in view OF the
smap salary which is allowed under
the ordinances, to be paid 70 us.
We. therefore, ask that you appear
before the Council in our behaE, and
advise them Of the true situation as it
now exists
