CITIES TO CARRY
BURDEN OF BONDS
Auto Owners Must Pay For
Highway Issue Under Pro-
posed Plan

ATLANTA, May 3O.-That what
ever doubts may have existed as to
the feasibility and value of the pro-
posed 100000 bond issue for
Georgia good roads are being rapid
ly swept away as the public becomes
more familiar with the facts is being
indicated by the pledges of support
for the bond bill which are being re-
ceived daily at the offices of the Geor-
gia Good Roads association. Letters
are being received in number from
leading citizens all over the state,
expressing their belief in the bond
issue as the only <lequate method Of
providing the whole state with good
roads, Pledging their support, and de-
claring their county representatives
will stand back of the bill at the
approaching session of the legi5la-
ture.
The only objection offered to the
bond issue which has attracted any
! attention is that it will raise taxes"
but the general public appears now
to understand that the constitutional
amendment provides expressly that
these bonds must be retired from the
proceeds of automobile licenses and
tax on gasoline. The burden of the
bonds will be carried entirely by the
automobile owner, who will derive
the largest direct benefit, and who is
heartily supporting the bond issue.
The cities, where such a great pro-
portion of cars and trucks is owned,
will pay the major share of the bills.
1t now appears that but slight oppo-
sition, if any, will be shown in either
house Of the general assembly.
Several meetings are being held
in various parts Of Georgia this week
where the public is given opportunity
to question the speakers as to any
detail of the proposed bond issue.
Judge G. II. Howard speaks in Man
chester today, introduced by Mrs.
Ely Galloway, of LAGRANGE, under
the auspices of the Federated Wo-
mems clubs. Judge Howard address,
ed large audience yesterday at
Waycrcss, where 'Made-in-Georgia

Immediately he saw Fanny.
Bathcd in a great glare, she sat in
her dressing room facing q long mir
ror of three panels; dcckcd out en-
grande toilette, wearing every jewel
she possessed, groomcd to thc finest
nuancc Of perfection; a brilliant and
strangely immobile fgurine of mod
crn fcmininity, with bobbed hair like
FURNISHED brass, miIk-white bosom
and arms rising out of a calyx of
pcachblow taffcta, jewels stung to
iridcsccnt life by that fierce wash of
light.
As if hypnotjzed by so much
bright loneliness, she continued
stcadfastly to gaze upon her reflected
self; even when she heard Lontainc
at the door and the mirror placed
him behind her in the doorway, she
did not move by so much as a
trembling cyclash.
In a voice that strained without
success to sound easy and natural,
Lontainc said: "Ah, Fanny! dressed
already, ch? Must be later than |
thought"
ITS past half-past," Fanny re-
piled without expression.
Lontainc glanced nervously at the
back of his wrist. Right you are.

Continued from our last issue.)
"Because-really, you know, this
is a ridiculous way to expect Nelly
to carry on when she hears what
she hears. She isn't in love with
Richards, she isn't even in love with
Dick; and surely '-Lucinda was now
rapidly growing serious in her
anxiety to Justify herself to Nolan's
face of a thunderhead-" surely she
oughtn't to 90 all to pieces just be
cause she hears Richards confess,
what she's known all along, that he's
the sort of man he is.
Listen here: who's directing this
scene, you r me? Who wrote the
continuity, you r me? Who knows
best what this story S all about, heb,
you r me?"
But, Mr.. Nolan, I'm sure if you Ii
just think for a moment you'll see 1t
isn't natural for a girl like Nelly
to rant like a tragedy queen over this
situation. She wouldn't tear around
in this corner like alike Lillian
Gish in Broken Blossoms when
she's trapped in the scullery and her
fathers breaking in to murder her.
Don't you see?"
Sure | see" Nolan spoke with
an unwOnted evenness of tone, for
him; but the tone was ugly. q see
a lot of things. | see you've made
up your mind to try to make a fool
of me, arguing about my visualiza-

all right: you win. | resign. Pm
out. You've got your wish. And
this time l don't come back, not if
you was to go down on your knees
to beg me to finish this fool pic
turew
In an abrupt break of fury, oddly
out of keeping with the level tone he
had used, Nolan raised the mega
phone above his head and with all
his might cast it upon the floor at
Lucinda's feet.
"And that ends that" he en-
nounced quietly, and walked off,
leaving Lucinda in temper curious
ly divided between relief and regret.
