coNcRETE HIGHWAYS

For the next ten years there is go.
ing to be wonderful progress in high
way construction. We predict there
will be very little railroad building,
but concrete highways are going to
literally thread this country from one
end to the other. The automobile
and the truck are gong to be live com
petitors of the railroads, and the
towns that go to sleep and let these
state and interstate highways be built
around them are going to be left
high and dry" As the railroads in
the past were the principal industrial
developers of the country, the con-
crete highway of today and tomorrow
are gong to mark the progress of the
sections through which they are built.
Unless the people Of Cochran and
Bleckley county get busy and make
arrangements to connect up with
these enterprises we will be like a
deserted village on branch road.
We should, by all means, have a
straight road from here to Macon, and
connect up with the Dixie Highway at
the most available point. Cochran

NOW WE UNDERSTAND

Mr.. Will III. Craig, one of the edi.
torial party visiting FLORIDA, writing
to the indianapolis Star, incidentally
touches on politics and among other
things has the following to say:
Mr. Frank B. Shuts Of Miami,
came to Florida In 1910 from Aurora,
Ind. He was staunch Repuhli, an. In
q conversation with Shuts he told me
that he was still Republican in prin-
ciple, but that the paramount issue
IN the South was white Supremacy
He carries out this policy in his paper
1.-The Miami Herald 2
We can now understand why the
Herald was so hostile to Woodrow
Wilson and the fundamental policies
OF democracy, and why it even up
holds George Harvey.

THE MIsTREATMENT or A cITt
ZEN

For some unknown reason one or
our citizens, Mr.. J. P. Milton, living
about i've miles north of Ocala, while
in the quiet precincts Of his own
home, surrounded by members of his
family, his house was entered by un-
known men, Mr. Milton seized, was
hustled into an automobile, and was
taken to lonely spot some distance
away and after being tied to a tree
was severely floggedI
Left almost half dead, with a brok-
en- shoulder re-broken, he was told
that if he was caught in the neighbor-
hood within the next forty-eight hours
death would be the penalty.
This was a dasterly outrage and a
violation of law in it's worst form. II
was at first thought that the man
must have committed some awful
crime, but a searching investigation
reveals no clue to his offending in
any way.
Intimations were then given out
that he had mistreated his wife, but
this she Indignantly denies, so his
offending, if any, is involved in mys
terry.
Mr. Milton is now at his home in
Hazelhurst, Ca, and it is announced
that he will return and prosecute his
Offenders and it is believed that he
has the names of those guilty of this
brutality.
Some years ago this spirit of law
lessness pervaded an adjoining county
not so remote, and on one occasion it
is said that home was entered, the
father was at the time beside the bed
side of sick child, Notwithstanding
he was seized, taken out and logged.
One left spur which was recognized
and the voices of others were recog-
nized. After length of time, one by
one of the gang were found dead, and
as death overlook them lawlessness
from that county disappeared. His
tory has the habit of repeating itself.
