LETTER WRITING
IS BEST METHOD
BUSINESS MEN GOING ON TRIP
SHOULD ADVISE CONNEC-
TlONS IN THE TERRITORY

Business men who contemplate
making the tour through the Middle
West during the last two weeks of
this month are being urged to imme-
diately get in communication with
their associates in the cities on the
itinerary in order that they may be
apprised of the prospective tour. In
this way it is expected that the full
est cooperation will be secured.
This is one of the suggestions
which were made when the tour was
first proposed. It is now time that
those who are going begin to put the
plan in action. The trip has had the
widest publicity in all of the cities
to be visited The commercial or
ganizations have already planned the
entertainments which will given
for the visitors from this section of
the country In Chicago at least one
thousand men will be on the reception
committee.
In each of the eighteen cities to be
visited an effort is to be made to
get in touch with all of the import
ers and exporters. These are the
men who will be interested in the
prospects afforded by the five ports
of the Southeast. Most of these men
are already more or less interested
in the development of the local ports
and will be glad to get all possible
first hand information concerning
depth of water, sailings of vessels,
steamship lines, railroads and ware.
house facilities.
The trip will begin one week
from tomorrow evening. Those in
charge of the undertaking are anx
ious that the interest which has been
created be increased. They believe
that this can best be done by letter
writing and urge all business men
who are going to get in touch with
their correspondents of the Middle
West at once.

TELEGRAM CHARGING HOOVER
POLITICAL EXTRSyAGANCE

Washington, May S.-Senator Hiram
Johnson, of California, today made
public a telegram from Meyer Liss
ner. of Los Angeles, one of Johnson's
campaign managers in the recent Re
publican presidential primary in that
state, charging that the campaign of
Herbert Hoover conducted in opposi

worst saturnala of political extrava-

Quoted. in Southern California.
In view of the announced attitude
of Hoover regarding the manner, in
which his campaign should be con

JOhnson's campaign manager pro
duced something of sensation IN po
litical circles of the capital.
IA few days ago Hoover issued a
challenge to Senator Johnson to de
fine his attitude toward the peace
treaty and the league of nations, and
the charges made public by Johnson
today are regarded by many as o
.cnunterattack Or 'come back" to

Vera Cruz is still unconfrmed, and
an attempt to hold Mexico City

Atlanta, May S.-Suitable sheds for
the protection of cotton at shipping

Both officials and members of the
association are insisting on the erec

Field Secretary Encouraged
Over $5O,0O0,000 State
Issue for Highways
EXPLAINS WHAT THE
BILL INTENDS TO DO
After a tour of Sixty Counties
Frank T. Reynolds Says He
Is Sure People Will be Behind
the Movement---LocaI Senti-
ment Strong.

Mr.. Frank T. Reynolds, Highway
Booster and field representative of
the State Association of County Com.
missioners. was visitor in Bruins
wick for a short time. He is making
tour of the state in the interest OF
the proposed bond issue by the state
for good roads and declared that the
people are rapidly determining that
the bill now pending before the leg
islature is the one way to secure
paved roads in the quickest possible
time and at the least cost.
The bill provides for a bond issue
of perhaps fifty million dollars for
a system of paved roads that will
connect every county seat in Georgia
and in discussing this proposition Mr..
Reynolds said:
"The proposition concretely stated
is that our association advocates the
state issuing 40 as or so million dol
lars worth of bonds with which to
build the 4,S00 miles Of roads con-
Meeting the county seats as has been
devised by the State Highway Com
mission by capitalizing the motor IL
cense fees that have and will be paid
the state this year The bill now
before the legislature carries that
proposition and will of course be a
| constitutional amendment and must
be ratified by the people at the fall
general election The bill also pro.
vides that the auto fees must pay
tn interest, provide for sinking fund
to retire the bonds in a stated period
Of years and to forever afterwards
maintain the 4.800 miles by the State
Highway Commission thus taking
that amount of mileage cost off the
counties. 1t also provides for the re-
endorsement to counties. who with
their local bond issues build any part
of the system under the direction. OF
| the highway commission.
"The legislature will not be asked
to write any amount in the bill that
the auto fees cannot meet the inter
est, create the sinking fund and pro-
vide for the future maintenance, nor
would they in their wisdom do Sc
even though they were asked. Briefly
It is not proposed to assess one penny
Of taxes against the property OF the
people to raise this fund; only just
capitalize the motor license fees and
make them do the work. With ap
proximately $18,0O0,000 Of county
bonds in 40 counties, $7.402,OOO OF
federal funds and the fifty million
under our proposition you readily see
the highway commission will have in
the neighborhood of $65,000.00o with
which build roads in the next ive
years and complete the job.
81 have been into about go counties
since the first of the year and find
the sentiment overwhelming for the
bond issue, especially when it is un
derstood that there will be no ta1

secretary of state, told me that he
had deposited $1.669,OO0 received fol
