Road Bond Issue
Will Put Good
Roads in Georgia.


In statement given to the press
this week by Hon. j. B. Daniel, of
LAGRANGE, President of the Georgia
Good Roads Association, assurance is
given the voters of the state who are
interested in securing good roads for
Georgia by mena of the $4,000, 900
state road bond issue that not one
penny's additional property tax will
be put upon the people by means OF
these bonds.
SPECIFIC provision is made in the
proposed constitutional amendment
against this, Mr.. Daniel said:
The next legislature simply must
provide a state fund for road-build
ing or forfeit participation in federal
ald' There is no way out of this, and
the sensible thing to do is to provide
fund of sufficient size to guarantee
completion of the state highway sys-
tenn in keeping with the standards
required by federal engineers on all
federal-aid roads, while we are at it,"
I'm the last four years Georgia
has dropped from fourth to seventh
place in agricultural rating among
the states. She stands forty-first
IN education, and only thisrw our
local paper scarried news item un-
der Washington date line giving
census figures of the United States
Government which show Georgia los
ing population to- other states al
though we boast a climate and soil
that is unsurpassed. Georgia's I'M
deeloped agricultural and mineral re-
sources are a crying shame upon the
state, and yet we hesitate to do the
very thing that is going to remedy
these conditions-build good roads all
over the state"
',Permeate our. mountains and
plains with highways and let the
people here get a vision of what VIC
really have, and then watch Georgia
grow" -:
"Any fear that the road bonds
will bring an additional tax burden
upon the people is simply mistake"
said Mr.. Daniel "Why we are pay
ing far heavier toll to cur bad roads
today than the good roads would
cost US even if a direct tax levy were
made to build them. And when you
take into consideration that the State
Highway Department proposes to
build this great network of roads
within ten years, if given the funds
with which to do it, and that these
funds can be provided by the bond
issue which can be retired in thirty
years with the automobile license
fees and gasoline tax, without any
additional tax levy, it is inconceiv-
able that there could be found any
one in the state who would really
oppose the bond ISSUE"
Mr.. Daniel said it had never been
proposed by the Good Roads Associa-
ton to issue $75,OCO,OOO in bonds all
at once, but their effort is to secure
authorization for the issuance with
in ten year of that amount or such
amount as could be retired by the
automobile license fees and gasoline
tax. He said there never would be
one day when interest would be ac-
cumulating on the entire issue, as
$14,000,O00 of the first issues would
be retired before the final issue, is
put on the market. Mr.. Daniel urged
that women register and be prepared
to vote in this most important mat
ter. 4.

Methodist World
Program Missionary
Centenary.

The great wOr< of the Missionary
Centenary of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, is being carried
on in the nine foreign fields and the
homeland.
In Europe over 100000 people have
been clothed and fed. Churches,
schools, orphanges and hospitals
have been erected in Belgium, Po-
land and CZecho-Slovako. AT Bou-
logne, Surma France, is located the
recuperating camp where thousands
of people have received medical at
tention under the direction of skilled
doctors and trained nurses.
In Cuba and Mexico, churches
schools and hospitals have been pro-
vided for and our work in these two
fields is in q flourishing condition.
The Centenary has made it posi-
BILE for us to greatly enlarge our
building program in Brazil. During
the Centenary we have completed
fifty churches, twenty four parson
ages and nine schools. The native
Brazilians have contributed dollar Tor
dollar in our building program ana
have manifested great interest IN
our Mission work.
New buildings have gone up in
Japan and China, greatly adding to
present equipment. The total APP
preparations for the past three years
to China are $693, 027.60, to Japan
$745, 1882. The contribution per
member in the Methodist Japanese
Conference to the Centenary was
much larger than per member of the
home church. This should be an in
spiration to us to do larger things.
The Centenary has trained and
sent into the fields 175 new mission
ares, with 1000 in training; 1000
new preachers, with 5000 volunteers
for life service that have Offered
themselves to the church for definite
work making it necessary that we
should collect our Centenary pledges
In order to train and equip these
volunteers.
The Centenary Evangelistic Pro-
gram is Czecho-Solvakia and Korea
has touched over 10000 persons that
have become believers and identified
with our chuch. As result OF the
Evangelistic Program in Korea over
100 New Methodist Churches were
established in the past year.
The Centenary has made it posi-
BILE for Methodism to enter Mancho-
ria and Siberia and within seven
months we have churches with
membership of 1900.
Missionary Appropriations for the
Southern Methodist Church in 1913
was $1,218,OOO.OO, in 1922 $5,088, 600
90. Percent of Increase in four
years, 317 per cent. Group meetings
are being held in every district in
the South Georgia Conference, maxi
ing plans for World Week from
March 26th to April End, when every
church will be requested to organize
and endeavor to collect the Centenary
Pledges to date, that the church may
keep its promise and meet its obli-
gationh and continue its program in
the Mission Field.
