Macon County Launches Campaign
For Passage of 100000 Bond Issue
John Holder, State Highway
Commissioner and Other
Prominent Men Speak
in Favor Bond Issue

Macon county has formally launch
ed a campaign for the passage of a
100000 bond issue, the proceeds to
be used in paving the rix!e Highway
from the Peach county line to Sum-
ter county.
The courthouse at Oglethorpe was
comfortably filled Friday night
when a number of Macon county
speakers and others spoke on the ad-
visibility of the issue and what the
paving of this stretch of road on
the highway system would mean to
the people of Macon County. DR..
Greer, of Oglethorpe, was selected
chairman of the meeting and intro
duced Chairman John Holder, of the
Highway board; Col. W. W. Dykes
and Lovelace Eve, of Americas, who
were followed by Judge Greer of
Oglethorpe; John Query, VIM. H.
Mckenzie, j. C. Witt, Pat Nelson,
Frank Murly, G. L. Dwight and 9TH
ers, all of whom, with one possible
exception spoke in unqualified terms
as desiring to see the bonds issued.
Col. Dykes, the first speaker, ex-
planned to the audience the manner
IN which Sumter county sold her
bonds, how they secured state and
federal aid, the approximate cost of
Sunter's road construction and the
effect of paved roads on the values
of the property in the county. eve
Sumter neighbors are as much in
terested in Macon county's paving
project as you," said Col. Dykes, "and
| can pledge you our aid in your
campaign. Now is the time to pave
this connecting link. Paving will en-
hance the value of every acre of
land in your county. It has done
that for US and the same may be ex-
pected by you. This applies not only
to the lands directly on the paving,
but also those remotely removed
therefrom."
I'VE have the most desirable eli
mate in the world. We have soil that
will produce almost anything that
can be raised in the temperate zone.
In short, we have a section that will
appeal to farmers from any section,
but we must pave our state roads |
and then advertise our advantages as
others are doing"
The technical mechanics of carry
ing bond campaigns were explained |
by Lovelace Eve who suggested ev-

RECALL CLASH OF
DANE AND BRITON
Old Coins Haze Stirred His
toric0I Memories.

There has been great TODD among
psychologists and historians since, the
discovery Of some coins last autumn in
the Peakland caves In England. These
coins were Of no known denomination.
They bore the name "Burgred," but
who he was it has taken a great
many learned polemics to decide
There is no doubt that this Is the
same unhappy Burgred, or, more prop
erly, Burhred, who In 1854 A. d. gave
the Wolverly portion Of Kidderminster
to "Aelhun, bishoppe Of Worcester
and also endowed that historic see
with Hartlebury castle, which it holds
to this day.
Poor Burgred He had indeed q
wretched time Of It. In the year 852
he was chosen by the Witan to sue
coed Bearhtwulf on the throne Of
Mercia, one of the weakest Of the An
glo-Saxon kingdoms. Scarcely was he
crowned when the Welsh under Ro-
deric Mawr revolted from Mercian
Overlordship. Burhred called upon his
own liege, AetheIwulf, king Of the
West Saxons. and between them they
subdued Lloyd Georges ancestors aft
er bloody war To celebrate the vic
tory and cement further relations
Burhred married Aethelswyth, the
daughter of Aethelwulf, and peace
seemed once more insured to Britain.
But In 86S came the Danes In never
ending flood, and soon they had in
trenched themselves In Nottingham,
a. menace to all the island. Burhred
sought the help of his brother in-law,
-Aethelred, then reigning over the West
Saxons, who together with his younger
brother, afterward the great Alfred,
sped to Mercian aid. The Saxon army
advanced against the might OF Den
mark. then serene behind the stone
walls Of Nottingham. Neither feint
nor siege could dislodge the enemy,
so presently the British made peace
and reluctantly turned home. In aft
er years King Alfred must have Bit
terly regretted that he did not pre-
vail upon his elders to sit before Not
tingham until its defenders were
starved out, for he had many hard
fought battle before him as result
Of Danish occupation.
At all events, one may be sure poor
Burgred rued the decision, for six
years later the willy horsemen, SELLING
a favorable moment, overran the help
less Mercians and forced their king
to fly for his life
Reaching the continent, he made
his way to Rome and there. already
forgotten at home, he died and was
buried in the st. Mary's chamber Of
the English school.
Thus the ashes Of King Alfred's
brother-in-law rest by theTiber instead
of the Mersey. Long time has he slept
since these coins Of his realm were
found by modern Briton In the cave
where once they had been hidden

oEd-Tin,e Religion VIII Do

The bishop Of London, preaching at
Christ church. Marylebone, in con-
nection with it's centenary celebra-
tions, said that, looking at the strife
of nations and what happened in the
translation Of President Wilson's self
determination principle In Ireland ana
India, and the strife between white
and colored races, they were forced
to the conclusion that the teaching Of
Christ and the introduction Of team
spirit were the only solution OF the
problem Of crowdlng upon the earth,
says the London Daily Telegram in a
recent issue.
The same applied to the industrial
world. Not a new religion, but new
heart and new attitude toward the old
religion were required, and he had no
hesitation in declaring that the old re-
ligion was adequate to the new age.
The old church still treasured the
Christian truth unsullied and un-
spoiled and retained the confidence OF
the Anglo-Saxon people. The Church
of England was never on such friend
ly terms with the other churches Of
Christendom as 1t was today, and
they were also in closer accord and
understanding with the great noncon-
formist boz
