OF PAVED ROAD
BODY PLANNED

The Sumter county bond campaign
committee is to be perp atuated in 4
permanent organization, according to
plans announced today bAgudge j.
A. Hixon, chairman. AZ n is his
plan that it should be pei esd, and
he is calling a meeting of 5h5 members
of the committee for April - to de-
termine on future course of action.
I'VE have just made beginning il
our fight for permanent roads in Sum-
ter county," said Judge Hixon, "The
next step should be the formation of a
permanent committee, composed of
representative citizens from every dis
trict in Sumter county. The necessity
for this permanent committee is very
apparent.
''It is true that we have voted bonds;
it is true also that the bond commit
tee and the county commissioners
have outlined their policy for the use
of this money. But l believe that a
permanent organization should now be
formed to see that all of these prom
ises are carried out to the letter
Then there are other reasons for
the need of such an organization. 1t
should get behind our representatives
in the state legislature and see that
they support those measures which
will give the county additional funds
from the proposed tax on automobiles
"The federal government SHOULD
build at it's expense splendid high
way from Americus, by way of Sou
ther Field, to Andersonville and the
national cemetery. This permanent
committee of association would put
this squarely up to our congressman
and our senators, using it's influence to
secure their efforts in this direction.
Many other reasons occur to me
for the necessity Of this permanent or
ganization, and / am today writing to
the members of the bond committee to
meet here in Americus, Saturday

DOOLY JOINS In
MOVEMENT FOR
PAVED ROADS

VIENNA, April 11-Dooly county
has caught the permanent roads fever,
and today is good roads day in Vienna.
Frank T. Reynolds, who was heard on
permanent highways at the new Flint
river bridge barbecue by number of
Dooly people, and w. r. Neel, state
highway engineer, are here by special
invitation to address mass meeting
of citizens from all parts of the coun-
ty this afternoon.
The meeting was called by J. B.
Walton, chairman of the county board,
who declared the board ready to take
action looking toward permanent high
ways that the people desired.
/. Mr. Walton has in mind a plan of
action whereby it may be possible for
the desired improvements in the roads
to be made without the issuance of
bonds. This plan will De submitted to
this assembly of citizens.
1t is understood if this plan carries,
application will be made Immediately
for the government fund and work will
begin forthwith.
After this plan is thoroughly look
ed into, if it is found to be impracti-
cable, the question of bond issue will
be submitted to the assembly for con-
sideration. If it is the will of the ma
1ority of the taxpayers of Dooly to
float bonds for the construction of per-
manent highways those in authority
will proceed Immediately after the Gus
tomary plan. In either event it is
obvious that the question of good roads
is before Dooly for prompt action.

NO MORE WORD
OF j. S. MUTINY
AT ARCHANCEL

WASHINGTON, April 11.-(By Asso-
ciated Press. There were no addi-
tional reports at the war department
today on the situation at Archangel
where a company of American troops
were involved nearly two weeks ago in
a threatened mutiny The absence OF
news was regarded as a favorable sign
The war department last night is
sued statement confirming Associat-
ed Press dispatches from Archangel
that what amounted to mutiny took
place among the American troops
there on March 80. A company of in
fantry, the message stated, refused to
entrain for the front until personally
urged to do so by Col. George E
Stewart, commanding the American
contingent. Open threats were made
of general mutiny unless a definite
statement from Washington insuring
early withdrawal was forthcoming.
The text of the paraphrase of the
code message dated March 81, follows,
the department having eliminated on
ly the identification of the company
and certain military information not
bearing on the incident:
Yesterday morning, March 80, a
company of infantry, having received
orders to proceed to the railroad
front, was ordered out of barracks for
the purpose of packing sleds for the
trip across the river to the railroad
station.
"The non-commissioned officer who
was in charge of the packing soon re-
ported to the officers that the men re-
fused to obey. At this some of the Off
GERS took charge and all except one
man began reluctantly to pack after a
considerable delay. The soldier who
continued to refuse was placed in con-
finement. Colonel Stewart having been
sent for, arrived and had the men as
sembled to talk with them. @A
Upon condition that the prisoner
above mention Cd was released, the men
agreed to go This was done and the
company then proceeded to the rail-
way station and entrained there for the
front, That they would no go to the
front That they would not go to the
by the men, however, and they would
only go to Obozerskaya. They also
stated that general mutiny would soon
come if there was not some definite
statement forthcoming from Washing
ton with regard to the removal oi
American troops from Russia at the
earliest possible date"
