He ld Of Road Commis sion Here

Head Of Road Commis sion Here
 Last Monday Col Gotwalls the vice head of the Road Commiss ion made trip of inspection to the Nlzina bridge, returning to No Carthy Tuesday.
 He states that according to the present schedule the concrete will be finished by spring as will the piling. Next summer the mission intends to put road to the bridge in shape for light traffic and next winter the steel structure is sched uled to be swung into place.
 During the summer of 1924 the road is to be put into shape
 
 to handle heavy traffic and other wise be put into good shape.
 Speaking generally on the road conditions turnout the Territory the Colonel states that the con- oitlons are fairly good and that outlng the coming years, there would be d great deal of work completed and gr eat deal more begun. He further explained that ;,s the Commission now owns practically all their equipment the money formerly spent in the rental of horses and wagons is now being put into the. actual construction work.
 In regard to the route of the proposed trail to Chisane the Colonel is more or less in favor of the more indirect route from Chitina on account of the help such a route would give to the properties on Slate creek, but tho need of road is not acute cn ough at the present time, accor- ding to his statement.

PAYROLLS MAKE TOWNS
GROW AND PROSPER.

A number Of papers coming to
our desk, notably among which is
the Naldosta Times, seems to us is
going to very heart of things by
advising the smaller cities such as
Waycross, Fitzgerald, Moultrie,
and Triton to go after the smaller
industries, get many of them, for
it IS hardly worth the time wasted
in trying to land the big enterpris-
es. Smaller industries are better
for the growth Of the community
in which they operate, for as
general rule their directorate and
management is composed almost
entirely of local folks, local money
is invested in these plants and the
operatives spend their money with
the home merchants.
Here in Americas we are proud
Of our many manufacturing in
dustrias-the number is steadily
increasing as is evidenced by the
new creamery about to start here
which will enable our farmer
friends to dispose of their surplus
dairy products to the best advan-
tage, and while the plant is to be
a small one compared with some
others, its going to be just what
we have needed for a long time,
and Of course, viii receive the
hearty cooperation of every loyal
citizen Of Americus.
While we do not have the fig
ures right at hand, we believe
that a conservative guess Of the
amount Of money being paid out
each week here in Americus by
the manufacturing plants alone,
such as the Seaboard shops, fer
tilizer plants, ice plant, oil mills,
and the ike, viii run over S1o,-
600, mayb $4,000.
We want more plants to help
the farmer care for his surplus
products. for there is no telling
just how much stuff is going to
waste here in Sumter county just
for the lack Of proper facilities
such as cold storage and canning
factories

entitled Helping Georgia to help

The value of the series has been

Investigating Georgia's economic

Throughout the whole series Of

LONE STAR STATE

DALLAS, TEX.
As soon as you lay your eyes on
This state with the wide horizon,
There's a sense Of space
On the roads you trace
Far over the rolling plains;
And the wind has a zest that's
keener,
And tang that is sweeter, cleaner,
Where tho long-horns roam
Meath the blue sky's dome
Der an empire Of vast domains.
Afar from the crowds which vex us,
There's room and enough in Texas
For a man to range
In the search for change
When's he's restless with "Things
That Are;'
A country Of huge expenses,
A land Of a million chances,
Where the stakes are steep
And new cities leap
To life like flaming star!
A land Of primal vigor
Where the lean, lank men bulk big
ger,
And the girls are 1.-THE
And their smiles are blithe
With health and a JOY elate;
Oh, your blood has a swiftE tingle
Where the west and the south com
mingle,
And the broad plain smiles
Eo4, q thousand miles
To the bounds Of the Lone Star
State!

UNBALANCED NERVES

A nerve specialist tells us, a
woman came to him on the verge
Of a collapse, and it developed
that what she really wanted was
advice about investing her money.
Doc gave the advice, collected the
fee. The patient went her way
relaxed, contented, cured.
A queer case? Not unusual, ac-
cording to the nerve specialist.
We're all more or less in an unbal-
anced nervous condition as a result
Of the war, and the specialists
have come to expect anything.
Nerve specialists report big in
crease in cases of pretended i'll
ness, technically known as hypo,
chondria. A hypochondriac is
person with morbid anxiety about
his or her health.
Frequently a hypochondriac's
mental distress actually produces
counterfeit symptoms Of the
imagined maladies.
The hypochondriac fits from
maIady to malady. One day, he
imagines he has cancer of the
stomach. The next day, fear
that Bright's disease is develop
ing. And so on, leading the doc
tor a merry chase, he meatime
feeding the patient bread pills.
The hypochondriac usually is
imitative-hears that some one
else has a certain malady, then
begins fearing he has the same.
A generation ago the "hypo'
was considered a mental case, and
even doctors smiled trifle at
him-when they weren't eursing
behind his back.
Now it is recognized that an I'M
balance Of the body's endocrine
glands is the most common cause
Of hypochondria. If the thyroid
or adreual or pituitary glands are
too active or not active enough,
the victim often becomes neuras-
thenic, imagining all kinds Of
symptoms, fear fitting from dis
ease to disease.
In such condition, the 'hypoH
is sincere in the belief that all
the maIadies in the universe are
clutching him.
There's still another style Of
Observation-Disclosures the patient
fakes illness and knows it. The
motive here is to attract sympa-
thy. The we'll person is taken for
granted without fussing. The i'll
person gets the attention. So the
hypochondriac, craving affection
and attention, pretends to be i'll.
We all have this craving for
sympathy and care, though few Of
us are willing to "enjoy bad
health to get it.
