Convicted on Bunco
Charges in Florida,
Man to Ask Pardon

FORT PIERCE, Fla, July "a
d. r. GriswoId, alleged confidence
man, who was brought here last
February from Gulfport, Miss, to
serve a six-year sentence for swind-
ling winter visitor out of large
sum of money, will make applica-
ton for pardon, says a legal notice
appearing in a local newspaper.
Griswold was convicted here in
1918 and sentenced to serve six
years in the state prison. He APP
pealed the case and was released on
heavy bond. The findings of the
lower court subsequently were sus-
tanned by the supreme court, but
GrlsWold meantime had disappeared.
In February of the present year,
word came to Sheriff Merritt, of this
county, that Griswold and a group
OF associates were operating along
the gulf coast section of Mississippi.
GrisWold, according to this informal
ton, was using the aliases Gray and
Grayson, and, as was his custom,
playing the big dog" in social cir
cles, having a large following.
EXtradtion-s papers for his return
were issued and the sheriff went to
Jackson, Miss, where Governor
Whitfield, who had just taken Of
flee, not only honored the requisi-
ton, but provided Sheriff Merritt
with a statewide commission, giving
him authority to arrest Griswold N
sight. The fugitive was arrested in
a Gulfport hotel and returned to

Approval of Proposed Bond
Issue Urged - Advocates
Speak for Statewide Better
Roads Movement

Georgia's highway problems, as
contrasted with those of North Car
DINA, were presented Wednesday
night to a gathering of legislators
and public officials at a dinner ten
dered by the Kiwanis club to the
members of the general assembly at
the Hotel Ansley roof garden.
Two speakers, w. 7. Anderson, Of
the Georgia highway commission,
and T. c. kirkpatrick, president of
the Charlotte, n. c., Chamber of
Commerce, discussed the highway
situation in the two states. Mr. An
derson presenting the problem as it
confronts Georgia, and Mr.. Kirk
patrick describing how North Caro-
Ina has reached q solution
Both speakers emphasized the
fact that, without a state highway
bond issue, the practical and eff
Gent construction of a modern high
way system is impossible. Both
urged the general assembly Of Geor-
gia to approve the proposal to is.
sue $40,000,000 of state road bonds
and give the people an opportunity
to express their wishes relative to
the project
Arthur Brooks. president of the
KiWanis club, acted as master OF
ceremonies, pointing out that the
klWanians of Atlanta, as well as
of the entire state, have been ac-
tive in working for good roads. He
mentioned the recent motor tour of
North and South Carolina by
party Of legislators investigating the
highway situation, and declared that
kiwanis is vitality interested in
solving Georgia's highway problem.
Vote Held Wanted
Mr.. Anderson, who, as editor of
the Macon Daily Telegraph, has
been for years an ardent advocate
or better roads in Georgia, declared
that the people are clamoring for
a chance to vote on a state highway
bond issue.
IF we don't build good roads
now, posterity will build them"
said Mr.. Anderson, "and our chill
dren will wonder why We neglected
so great a factor in the develop.
ment of our state"
Georgia is falling behind her sis
ter states in the matter of high
ways, and unless something is done
TO remedy the situation, she will for.
felt her place of honor in Dixie"
Mr.. Anderson submitted figures
showing that, by conservative esti-
mates, Georgia is throwing away
$S,OOOO00 per year in excessive all
tomotive costs, due to bad roads.
The difference in operating cost of
automobiles on paved highways and
on dirt roads is 12 cents per mile,
he declared, and this item alone
costs Georgians more than $50,O00,-
600 annually

highly efficient basis, its overhead
cost being less than the maximum
allowed by law.
The department, he asserted, is
handicapped by lack of funds to
carry forward the construction and

a state bond issue. the task of build
ing a real first-class highway sys-
tenn will be well nigh insurmounta-

I'VE don't need any more taxes"
said Mr.. Anderson, eve don't want
any more taxes. The present reve-
nues are ample to handle the pro-
posed bond issue.

line tax and the motor vehicles IL
cense tax are not getting a square
deal because their money is not be-
ing used for the purpose to which
it rightly should be applied. And

stitute good roads for bad"
introduced as one of the. prime
movers in the campaign that gave
North Carolina highway system
unsurpassed in the south, Mr.. Kirk
patrick gave an Illuminating de-
scription of how the program was
accomplished and how the various
bond issues We're secured. He as
cribed to the farmers of North Car
DINA the credit for originating the
good roads movement, which later
enlisted the aid of the business
mems organizations and civic asso-
Citations of all kinds.
Obstacles to Overcome
Ignorance and mud are the
worst obstacles to be overcome in
the development of a state" he
said, land when ignorance disap-
pears, the mud goes along with it. ="
The 100000 bond issue which
started the highway movement in
North Carolina was put over after
a hard campaign in which the is
sue was carried into the elections
and enough good roads" legislators
seated in the general assembly to
pass the constitutional amendment,
lie said.
Georgia could issue 10000, 900 in
bonds, payable in twenty years, at
a cost of $1.40 per year for each
person in the state" said Mr.. Kirk
patrick, figuring the population at
100000"
"The farmer must have help if
he is to keep the economic balance.
ut costs eighteen cents per ton
per mile to ship goods by truck
within a 100-n1ile radius, as against
twenty-foIr cents by horse drawn
vehicle and ninety cents by rail.
If the farmer can move his prod
ucts cheaper and get his supplies
cheaper, it is foregone that he will
be more willing to stay on the
farm and maintain Americas great
est basic industry. Unless some.
thing is done along this line. our
agriculture is doomed to destruc-
ton"
Mr.. kirkpatrick pointed to North
cardinals achievements in various
mes of activity, declaring that good
roads nave contributed more than
any other one thing in attracting
capital to develop the states re,

DARK HARBOR, Islesboro, Maine,
July 24.-Optimistic reports on the
political outlook in Maine were
brought here today by William r.
Pattangall, Democratic candidate for
governor of this state, who came to
confer with John w. Davis, Demo
cratic candidate for president. Mr.
Pattangall was accompanied by Full
ton j. Redman, who is contesting
the seat Of United States Senator
Bert l.. Fernald.
The political conference today was
the second the Democratic nominee
had arranged since his arrival last
Saturday. His first was with Hlo-
mer S. Cummings, national commit
teeman from Connecticut, who gave
gratifying reports to Mr.. Davis on
the prospects in Connecticut, New
Hampshire and other sections of
New England. Mr.. Cummings eX-
pressed the belief that the appear
ance in these states of Governor AL
fred E. Smith as campaigner in be-
half Of the national ticket would be
decidedly helpful.
Before greeting his visitors today
Mr.. Davis worked on his acceptance
speech.
The acceptance speech is rapidly
taking rough draft form and it is
understood that a major portion OF
it will be devoted to an indictment
of the record Of the Republican adj
ministration over the past three and
a half years.
Mr.. Davis is making a thorough
study of this record with special ref
erence to scandals in public office,
to foreign policy pursued, the treat
ing of pressing domestic problems
and the handling of tariff-tax ques-
tions.
While his campaign plans still are
held in allegiance his present thought
is to select certain important cities
along given routes for the delivery
of perhaps a score or more of set
speeches with q crossroads campaign
avoided as too great a tax for phys
ical endurance. However, there will
