JUSTICES MEETING
TO DECIDE ROADS
BELIEVED THAT UNLESS ACCEPT.
ED AUGUST IL COUNTY WILL
LOSE OPPORTUNITY.

1t is probable that there Is next
to the August primary and election
more interest in the meeting of the
county quarterly court on August IL
than in any other event that is sched-
uled. It Is common remark to hear
men state, when parting, that they
will meet here again on August IL.
That is the day when the court will
decide the fate of the road program in
the county. II is understood that
should the court on that date turn
down the proposition made by the
state highway department and refuse
to issue the additional bonds necessa-
ry, the offer will be withdrawn and
the money set aside for this county
will then be appropriated to some 9TH
er county that has met or will imme-
diately meet the requirements OF the
state board II is therefore a most
highly important meeting and the re-
suit will have decided bearing on
the future Of road construction in this
county.
The members of the county court be-
fore their adjournment the other day
tentatively agreed that at the meeting
on August IL the road problem would
be solved as far as possible In this
county and would not longer be =

GILES COMMISSION
ACCEPTS ROAD BID
AGREES TO PAY oNE-THiRD OF
COST OF HIGHWAYS AT $4,000
PER MILE.

The Pulaski Citizen of today says:
Bids on the section of the Bee-Line
Highways from Pulaski to Ardmore
were opened in Nashville Friday.
There were number of bids and 1t Ia
understood that the price was some
thing over $4,000 per mile. Bpt be-
fore announcing any bids, and without
either accepting Cr rejecting bids, the
state commission asked for an express
sion from the county commission. Ev-
identity the the commission wanted to
avoid repetition of the Maury county
muddle where the local committee
and the county court undertook to re-
pudiate the contract after 1t had been
awarded. The Giles county road com
mission met Monday and agreed that
as the state and federal governments
pay two-thirds the cost Of construction
and the entire cost Of maintenance
after the road is done, to leave the
question of awarding the contracts en-
tirely to the judgment of the state
and federal highway departments.
Some time is required to figure up es-
Inmates but contracts will probably be
awarded within few days.
Plans and specifications are about
ready to advertise for bids on the Sec
ton north of Pulaski to the Maury
county line.

mail transportation, to raise revenues
to meet the $6O0,0OOOOO in increased
salaries awarded to railroad employees

AT the postoffice department it was
stated that any increase in mail rates
would probably mean higher postage.
Railroad officials say mail rates re-

fore the era of increasing prices, and
that the roads are losing money at
the rate paid for the transportation
of government mail
1t has not been decided what
amount of increase, il any, will be
asked.

IN SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
First Committal He Declares, Is the
Restoration Of Representative Pop

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
MARION, Ohio, July 22. -Tmmedi-
ate declaration of peace and new
effort to form an association of all ma
tions, based on justice rather than
force was promised by Warren G. Har-
ding in formally accepting the repub-
lican nomination here today.
Scoring the league of nations cove
nant as the supreme blunder' he
lauded the senators who opposed its
unqualified ratification as "sentines
on the towers of constitutional gov
ernment." The nominee said he well
coined referendum.
Harding opened his address with a
broadside at personal, dictatorial and
autocratic government" He said no
man is big enough to run this great
republic"
"Our first committal,' he continued,
lis the restoration of representative
popular government under the con-
stitution through the agency of the
republican party"
The speech delivered at Garfield
Park here dealt with a multitude of
questions. Preserved nationality with
America retaining her independence
although not holding aloof from the
rest of the world should be the guild
ing policy, Harding declared.
The candidate stressed the necessi-
t yos a return to party government
and pledged himself to cooperate cor
daily with congress and to select a
cabinet of highest capacity in which
the vice president should sit.
AS to prohibition there is divided
opinion and the recourse to repeal or
modification is open, but we cannot
nullify because of divided opinion he
said, "and the law must be enforced"
1--WE must have a plain and neigh
borly understanding with Mexico re-
garding American rights but our re-
lations should be friendly and sympa-
thetic" he said.
Touching unrest he said the remedy
does not lie in repression, and rights
of all must be preserved.
High wages should continue, but
with them full value for the wage re-
ceiyed, he said. elective bargaining
was endorsed.
Harding pledged sincere effort to
stamp out profiteering.
Reaffirming his opposition to gov
ernment ownership of railroads, he de-
clared the present transportation diff
cultes are due partly to the wither-
ing hand of government operation
and urged that the government do its
part in repairing the damage. He en-
dorsed the budget plan, merchant
marine, ample naval preparedness and
a small army, abundant aid for ex-
service men and woman suffrage.
AS to formal peace, Senator Harding
said:
Il promise you formal and effective
peace so quickly as republican con-
gress can pass it's declaration for
republican executive to sign"
