$2,000,0OO From Bonds Will Be ApportiOned as Prom ised Jefferson People.
 Meeting Held

From various parts of lief ferson county where good roads have been promised out of the $5,000,000 bond issue recently authorized, friends of Jerry c. Gwin, to the number of seventy-five, met in Judge Pugh's courtroom Friday night and discussed politics in gen. eral and good roads in par ticular.

 Mir. Gwin addressed the assemblage and promised them that if it was in his power to hold to the original plans he would do so and that he felt, as did the other speakers, that it would be decidedly unfair and breach of promise to construct roads in accord ance with any other plan than the one announced before the bond issue elec- ton
