BOND ELECTION
NEXT TUESDAY.

The election to determine whether
we will have waterworks system
will he decided here next Tuesday,
April 18th. We trust that every
voter can see his way clear to vote
for waterworks bonds. If you are
q citizen of this town whether you
yet the city water or not it is your
duty to vote for bonds, you want to
see the town grow and prosper then
how can you vote against wafer
works. There are according to in
formation only two county seat
towns in the State of Georgia with
out waterworks, why remain as the
third one when we have the oppor-
tunity now before us for an up TO
date waterworks system. Mr. citi-
zen, if you are against it change
your mind and come out next Tues
day and vote for "Waterworks. "

Quite a crowd from Leesburg
saw Ty Cobb, the Georgia peach,
and his team in action against the
Rochester team, at Americas, on
Tuesday. They enjoyed it, of course
though declare that it lacked that
sweeping spirit and pep that is in
stilled into the games that count fol
more than a view of the players.
However, since Ty is one of the
worlds celebrities of this day and
has done his bit in putting and ex'
banding Georgia on the map, it was
we'll worth the time and money
spent.

Give Ruling For Auto
Truck Cars.

Atlanta, Ga, March $3.50 many
inquiries have been made by own
ers of Ford two-passenger cars with
truck bodies attached, either tempo
rarily or permanently, as to whether
they should pay the passenger We
hicle license or truck license, that
the motor vehicle bureau Of the state
department requested Attorney Gen
eral Napier to give them ruling.
He gave it Wednesday as follows:
"The matter seems to turn on the
expression, "truck bodies for haul
ing" iAg -
eff a passenger should be convert
ed into a combination truck, that is,
with a truck body for hauling, per-
manently attached to the car, it
would be subject to the tonnage
rates for automobiles or trucks
However, if a passenger car is
equipped with a platform for use in
carrying samples, implements or lug
gage, but not constituting a truck
body for hauling it should be taxed
only as a passenger car.
"Should the owner of a passenger
car need to use truck body tempo
rarily, even for hauling, it is my
opinion that the tag for a passenger
car should suffice.
"What is the principal use to which
the car is put. Is it for passenger
service, or is it permanently equip
ped with truck body for hauling.
"The law does not prescribe two
tags to be used INTERCHANGEABLE, ac-
cording to the type of body to be
placed on the chassis.

ROAD BONDS BEST INVESTMENT
STATE CAN HAVE.

The idea of the $4,000, 10000 state
road bond issue for completing the
state highway system is growing
every day, according to T. G. Far
mer, Jr., who has been out in the
state working for the road bonds al
most continuously for the past two
weeks.
People are beginning to realize
that completing the highway system
is the best investment the state can
make at this time. It will put thou
sands of unemployed men to work.
1t will reduce taxes in those counties
that have already flOated bonds and
will put good roads in every county
without taxation on the people. But
the best part of the plan is that it
will give us the benefits of as fine a
system of highways as any state and
not add one penny to the present
automobile license fees and gasoline
taxes"
North Carolina last year voted
$50. 100000 in road bonds, and last
year North Carolina passed Georgia
is agricultural wealth, although it is
a much smaller state. Much of this
is attributed to the fact that good
roads enabled North Carolina citi-
zens to market their crops to better
advantage"
Georgia cannot afford not to vote
the road bond issue, and every cltl-
zen who wants to see the state forge
ahead and take her rightful place In
the sisterhood of states will WORK
from now until the Legislature meets
in June to see that the bond issue is
nut before the people in a way that
they will understand it"
81 find sentiment unanimously IN
favor of the bonds wherever the is
sue is understood" said Mr.. Farmer

TYPHOID VACCINE

Typhoid Fever was responsible for
more deaths in the United States dur
ing 1921 than in 1920. From 1918
through 1920 the death rate had de-
clined each year and the prevalence
of this disease was,in many sections,
of but slight importance. Many
communities had begun to feel that
this disease was a condition of by
gone years only. For this reason
the citizens, no doubt, began to les
sen there efforts to protect themseles
and in the time of their unprepared-
ness typhoid came in and stole many
of the people.
In Georgia alone 789 victims were
claimed by this disease during 1921.
The prevent on of typhoid fever is
simple and inexpensive. To fail to
acquire protection by means Of anti
TYPHOID incubation is exceedingly I'M
wise.
Your State Board of Health pre-
pares the vaccine and sends it free
to any citizen CT the state. Each
person is warned not to delay in Sc
curing this easy and certain method
OF protection.

Stop Railroad
Crossing Accidents,

There is a great need for cru.
SADIE against the careless automobile
driver, according to a statement from
President w. A. Winburn, of the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway.
President Winburn says that the
elimination of all railway grade
crossing, although desirable, would
be impossible, that the elimination Of
the 1867 crossings on the Central OF
Georgia Railway would cost fifty
millions of dollars. He says further
that the protection measures taken
by the railways fail to solve the
growing grade crossing problem be-
cause they teach the public that pro-
tected crossings are safe, whereas
the reverse should be taught.
The only feasible plan to check the
growing toll of deaths, injuries and
losses to property at grade crossings
he saws, is a relentless campaign 10
make drivers stop, look anu iAsV
at every crossing.
Mr.. Winburn points out that in
the four years, ending December 81,
1920 there were 1850 persons killed
and 12,75O injured in automobile
grade crossing accidents in the Unit
ed States, and that during that time
20 persons were killed and 215 in
iured in such accidents on the Cen
trail of Georgia Railway. He de-
clares that an analysis of the cases
show that crossings considered the
least dangerous actually proved the
most dangerous.
The Central of Georgia's' execut-
i've declares that one State or COM
p,unitv cannot. cosstently demand
that it's railway grade crossings De
eliminated, unless some means were
nrovided whereby the same thmg
could be done in other states or com
munities.
He also submits a viewpoint OF
the situation which he says is rarely
considered, that of enginemen. In
their nerveraclzing duties they should
be freed from the strain OF having
automobilists race over crossings d.
rectv in front of moving trains, he
says.
Since the benefits derived from
elimination of grade crossings accrue
LARGELY to the public in safety and
convenience, Mr.. Winburn proposes
that where the elimination OF a eros
c;no is necessary a plan be worked
ont whereby the cost would De olVlo-
ed upon fair basis between the
taxpayer who receive the benefits
and the railway.
"The automobile, in proper hands ,
Mr.. Winburn says, "is an agency OF
safety at railway grade crossings.
It can be driven up close to the
tracks and stopped in perfect safety
That cannot always be done with a
spirited horse. Therefore, the in
creasing use of the automobile and
the decreasing use of the horse
should be solving the grade crossing
problem, instead of making it worse.

Notes by Wire
to The Argus

Paris, Dec. 2.-Lingerie in pure
white linen is today preferred to
silks and colors. But the linen is
precious with fine lace, of cobweb
texture. Or it is covered with fine
flounces, made still finer by OPEN
work lozenges and squares. Even
boudoir smoking jackets are made
of the white linen.
London, Dec. Though muffs
seem not to be as fashionable this
season as in some other years, it
is evident that the correct shape
according to today's showing is the
fat oblong style. Pockets are deep
enough and well furred enough SO
that muffs seldom appear neces-
sary but when used they should be
without frills of one kind of fur,
with lining of same color.
London, Dec. Monkey fur in
a strange shade of gray is used on
rev costumes and wraps. Rabbit
fur cloaks are very much in de-
mand here today and invariably
have trimming of black monkey
fur. Some black velvet evenin g
gowns have white monkey fur as
an odd decoration.
