FIGHT OPENED
BY RETAILERS
ON 5-MILL TAX
PLAN FOR CITY
Mayors Program for Liquidating
Debts Called Disastrous to
Best Interests

That the proposed special tax of .
mills, to be levied by the city for five
years to pay off its floating indebted
ness, would be disastrous to the best
interests of Americas, was the concen-
sus of opinion as brought out at a
spirited meeting of the Retail Mer-
chants association held last night.
This proposed tax measure is to be
the legislature as the program of the
present city administration, worked
out by Mayor Sheppard personally,
of solving the city's financial diff
culties.
A committee of the merchants asso-
citation was appointed at the meeting
to make thorough study of the sit
uation and report back to the asso-
citation at the very earliest possible
date.
A committee was also appointed to
arrange for representation before the
state ia xcommission, which will hold
hearing at Albany ON April 25 on
the proposed new tax bill. Americas
bankers will also be asked to coop
crate in arranging for this hearing.
1t was an enthusiastic and largely
attended meeting, and a number of
other matters, of interest to tn easso-
cation, were discussed

COLQUITT GOES
FOR ROAD BONDS
NEARLY SOLIDLY

MOULTRIE, April 19-Colquit coun-
t5 followed the lead of Sumter coun-
ty gloriously yesterday in voting
almost unanimously for paved high
ways with federal aid. The PROPOSE
ton was identical to that of Sumter
county, being on the issuance of $780,
600 bonds. The total vote for the
bonds, as tabulated this morning, was
2,471 for the bonds, to I'll against, this
figure including even the illegal bal
lots.
In the sixteen precincts were Fun
ston, which polled III votes, and
Ty Ty, 107, both unanimously for
bonds. The Moultrie district showed
a vote of 926 votes for bonds and
three against.
The bond campaign was conducted
under the auspices of the Moultrie
Chamber of Commerce under the di-
rection of W. J. Vereen, of MoultIie,
who acted as chairman, and c. B. Cald-
we'll, who is secretary of the trade
body.
The election was called six weeks
go and soon after the campaign began
a county wide organization was form
ed, district chairman was named for
each of the sixteen districts and this
chairman in turn appointed committee
members to assist him. In the cleo
ton today automobiles were sent from
Moultrie to all of the districts to be
used in carrying voters to the polling
places. No campaign in the history of
the county has ever been as vigorous
ly worked as this one which resulted
in a great victory for good roads bonds
and the committee which directed the
work is greatly gratified over the re-
markable showing that has been
made.

Instead of the amateur gardener
devoting his time exclusively to

be cultivated in great profusion, for
secreted in its tiny petals is to be
found the nectar of the gods.
After being put through the
proper process, it will yield a wine
beyond the dizziest dreams of the
thirsty. After partaking literally
of this delicious beverage a man
will no longer walk into a drug
