Mr. Farmer paid a high tribute
to Mr.. Neel and the highway depart
mcnt and launched into an explana-
ton of the proposed bond issue. He
presented every guest with pamph7
let showing the exact plan of the
bond issue, which is to be met every
year by the present automobile tag
receipts and the gasoline tax. He said
the bill to be acted upon first by the
state legislature this summer was be-
ing drawn at the present time, and
the constitutional amendment propos-
ed would contain a provision that
the tag and gasoline taxes should be
spent for meeting the obligations of
this bond issue and that no other
funds should be available for that
purpose, this absolutely locking the
door without another constitutional
amendement against creating any
tax whatsoever not now in existence
to meet this debt.
Can Be No Delay.
He explained that action must be
had this summer if Georgia is not
to be cut out of federal aid First,
the legislature must enact the neces-
sary laws calling constitutional
election, which can be held only on
regular election dates, which come
every two years, this fall being the
next. After the amendment is rati-
fled this fall, the matter must go
back to the legislature in 1928 for
the enactment of the necessary legis-
lation putting its provisions into eff
feet, making it impossible, if no time
is lost, to get action on the bond is
sue before 1923. If the matter
should not be handled by the coming
session of the assembly action could
not be had before 1925, or a year
after expiration of the time limit set
by the government for permitting
Georgia and other states to comply
with the federal requirements. he
showed that under the plan the bonds

$3.50 VERDICTIS
GIVENCHAMBLISS
Jury Quickly Agrees On Amount
After 8 Vote To Return
Nothing

A verdict awarding $3.50 damages
for personal injuries to J. H. Cham
bliss, aged Sumter county miller,
was returned against the Central of
Georgia in the City court last Tues
day afternoon, after more than day
had been spent trying the case. The
amount sued for was $17,500.
1t was learned after the verdict
was returned that the jury voted s
to on the first ballot to award the
defendant nothing, but the sugges-
tion was made that because the COM
plainant was an old man and the rail-
road could stand the expense he be
awarded something, the amounts pro-
posed ranging from $100 upward.
Agreement was quickly reached on
the amount returned.
Mr.. Chambliss was knocked off a
trestle at Wells Mill, near the south
line of Sumter county, by train
running as an extra late in 1919 and

Issue VIII Not Increase Taxes, But
VIII Reduce Them, T. G.
Farmer Shows

! ould be issued in installments of
| $40, 100000 each for the first two
i years, then 81 600, 600 each year un-
| til the full amount had been issued.
Before the last would have been is
sued the first payments would have
been made on the principal, as well
as interest, making the largest
amount outstanding at any one time
SOL 100000. The money would be
/ deposited in the state to draw the
highest possible rate of interest un-
til used.
Three millions will be used each
of the first and second years of the
issue to refund counties amounts
spent on building highways under
the state system, as previously prom
ised. He showed that this refund
could be used to retire local bond is
sues, if desired, and thus decrease
taxes in addition to the decrease in
general road maintenance funds in
the counties. Fifty per cent would
be refunded each year throughout
the state. He showed that Sumter
county would receive q refund of
$155, ,360.74, the amount expended
on state highways in the county at
the time of the report made to him,
and in addition all other money speft
similarly up to the time Of the bond
issue.
Tag Money Increasing.
Mr.. Farmer answered the objec-
tion made in some quarters that the
tag licenses probably would show
decrease, and therefore prove insult
ficient in years to come to meet the
bond debt He declared that the
estimate were for an increase of 10
per cent year; that the increases
had exceeded that in the past; that
this year figures already received
in advance showed more than 10 per
cent increase over last year in tag
money in Georgia, in spite of the
tight times. He said the experience
of California had been that whereas
the state contained 100000 motor
vehicles when state bond issue was
voted, when it was completed, max
ing the use of motor cars more at
tractive and economical, the number
had increased to 100000. He pre-
dicted similar experience in Geor-
gia. He closed with a plea for bet
ter roads in Georgia for the bene-
fit of the schools and churches and
the rural population.
w. w. Dykes, county attorney,
who has been taking a great interest
in highway matters with the mem
bers of the Sumter board, presided.
He concurred in a suggestion by Mr..
Farmer that the other counties of
the Third district were looking to
Sumter county to take the lead in the
bond issue proposal and to organize
leaders in every county to work for
the proposal. At his suggestion the
meeting went on record as endorsing
heartily the $75,000,000 bond pro-
posal.
Mr.. Oliver spoke briefly at the
close as member of the Sumter
county board. He said good roads
were his private and particular hob
by and that his heart and soul were
in this bond issue proposal he re-
cited the development of rural educa-
tion and pointed out that good roads
were absolutely an essential factor in
this DEVELOPMENT.

bitten by dog near Brogan week
ago. He thought little of it and
went deer hunting. Upon returning
he found that the dog, which had
been kicked by mule previous to
this, had bitten three other persons,
and had killed some sheep and chick
ems. State authorities upon exam
ing the head of the dog, thought per-
haps the animal had been suffering
from rabies. Mr.. Browning, who is
receiving medical attention, at Vale,
however seems to be improving.

Facts About Cyclones.

From the study Of clouds an Official
OF the weather bureau concludes thai
the ordinary cyclones that traverse
our country from west to east are no,
more than two or three miles In depth
although their diameter is many hun
dreds of miles. In other words, their
motion does not AFFECT the upper re
gions OF the atmosphere. In the case
of hurricanes he finds that the depth
is greater, amounting to as much as
five or six miles. But higher currents
blow directly across the cyclonic and
anti-cyclonlc areas which produce
storms and fair weather at the sur
face OF the earth. Some Of this In
vestigator's conclusions upset former
ideas concerning the circulation of the
tmosphere.-New York Herald.

sin ranchers are prosperous. Here
the ranchers are not. No banks
have failed in the Badger state; alas
several have failed In this region.
Butter fat can be produced here at a
lower cost than in Wisconsin-what
then does the future in dairying
hold for the rancher here? What
does it mean for the business men,
the bankers, the professional men of
this region-prosperity along with
the ranchers.
And when the ranchers here are
prosperous this land will be as in
viting to the men of the east and
middle west who are seeking new
fields, as all America has been for
the ambitious citizens of Europe.
Our fathers came to America from
Europe because they knew that in
these United States the opportunity
for bettering their condition was
present because Americans were
prosperous. Residents of the crowd
ed sections of our land today will
follow the same impulse to move
westward to this valley when our
ranchers are prosperous. 1t should
then be the constant and ever press
ing purpose of the business men of
this region to promote the prosper
ity of the farmer here now, and let
his prosperity be the magnet which
will draw others and thus add to
the growth and development of the
entire region. We need not look
for development until our farmers
are prosperous.
