ROAD BOND issue
IS CALLED CURSE

ATLANTA, July 81, - Every
farmer in the State of Georgia
should oppose the proposed bond is
sue of 70 millions of dollars to build
roads, in the opinion of George
Sands, president of the Farmers
Union in he State Of Arkansas,
who has written a lettnr 20 Martin
Amorous, o. Marietta, Ca, on the
subject.
"Arkarsgs has and is now passing
through one of the most damnable
curses ever perp trated upon any
state or any people in bond issues"
says Mr.. Sands, "and the State of
! georgia should profit by our mis-
fortune"
Mr.. Sands said that "the road
bond curse has almost destroyed the
basic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. - in
Arkansas" as the whole burden fell
on the farmers direct.
''The thing for you people in
Georgia to do is to stay free while
you are fire." said Mr. Sands.
Stand on the policy-the safe poll
cy to pay as you go-and put the
tax on automobiles, gasoline and
oil to create a fund to build your
highways in Georgia and to keep
them in repair"
Commenting on the proposed
bond issue, Mr.. Amorous shows that
the issue of 70 millions in 4 1-2 per
cent to build roads will pay for
from 5000 to 5000 miles of paved
roads and the interest on the bonds
vii cost 105 millions Of dollars.
"If we would build the roads each
year out Of our current income the
amount we must pay on bond inter-
est alone would build and pay for
$4,000 to $500 miles of paved
roads," said Mr.. Amorous.
Another fact-There are 81, 900
miles of laid out roads in Georgia
so that with 5000 or 5000 built
at bond cost of SITS, 100000,
how are we even going to get
enough to pave the other $4,000
miles. Settlement roads are more
important than highways

Clark had told the Chamber of Com
rlerce he had worked seven years
in the accounting department n the
Canal Zone
If he valued money as absolutely
nothing" as he told the police, he
thought rather more highly of books.
Among those he had clung to in long
journeyings around the world were
Cressy's Fifteen Decisive Battles"
volumes of the classics and several
works on Napoleon, including Abbot's
Life" Passages in the Napoleon
books were marked. From that domi-
mating spirit the wanderer seemed to
imbibe consolation and the fortitude

and contemptuous gasture. rating its
most glittering rewards as nothing,
absolutely nothing"
The money he would not use to
mitigate his last suffering will be
sent to his parents. There was some
Madeira wine in his room and some
Russian vodka-no large supply and
naught to indicate excessive indul-
gence. An empty cigar box held old
nails, worth cents by weight as
old iron: another held an assortment
of jackknives; still another, assorted
pencil stubs.
