COFFEE COUNTY HAS
AMBITIOUS PROGRAM

We are in receipt of copy OF the
five-year program adopted by the
Coffee County Chamber of Com
merce for the development of the
towns and rural sections of the coun-
ty.
We were especially impressed with
the signed reports on Highways and
Public Utilities by their chairmen, E.
l.. Grantham and J. M. Dent, respec-
lively.
The program for their highways
contemplates paving all main roads
out of the county seat by the county,
and it's public utility chairman shows
his progressiveness by recommending
the continuous ownership of their
light plant and the extension of its
service to the several towns and rural
sections of the county. If these peo-
pie succeed in doing no more than
putting these recommendations into
effect, they will have assured the fu-
ture welfare of their county.
Go to it.

NOT A NEPHEW OF ...
ALEXANDER STEPHENS

Judge j. P. Highsmith, candidate
for the Court of Appeals against
Alexander H. Stephens, incumbent,
in letter to the press makes it clear
that his opponent is not a nephew of
the renowned Alexander H. Steph-
ems, vice president of the Confeder-
acy and outstanding figure in Geor-
gia's history. Judge Highsmith says:
"We wish to call attention to a
statement contained in an advertise
ment sent out through the Gilreath
Press Syndicate Of Atlanta in which
it is stated that Judge Stephens is a
nephew of the late Alexander H.
Stephens. You probably recall that
the late Alexander H. Stephens left
no children, no sisters, and only one
half brother, Judge Linton Stephens.
Judge Alex w. Stephens is not a son
of Linton Stephens and therefore
could not be even half nephew, al
though there is probably some re-
lationship, the extent of which we do
not know"

Norman Institute and
Junior College Open
Monday, Sept. 6th

Norman Park, Ga, Aug. %, 1925.
Norman Institute and Norman Ju-
nior College will open Monday, Sep
tember 9th, with one of the largest
enrollments in it's history. Because
of the splendid prospects President
Browning has purchased the home OF
Mr.. Jas. B. Norman just across the
street from the campus and has re-
modelled it, put shower baths and all
necessary equipment to care. for 20
of the smaller boys. This will be a
model home for these students. One
of the married teachers will be head
master of this dormitory. All rooms
in the boys and girls dormitories
have been calsomined and floors
painted. Every room in each dormi-
tory has been equipped with modern
single beds.
Perhaps the most important i'm
provement has been the building OF
one bath room for the boys and two
excellent modern bath rooms for the
girls.
The high school department of
Norman Institute is on the Southern
accredited list of schools, the highest
in the South, and spelpndid progress
has been made in the two. years of
the junior college toward placing it
on the Southern list. The endow-
ment has been increased to $780,
10000 and the library and labora-
tories have been greatly developed.
The faculty of Norman Institute has
been increased in five years from
twelve to twenty-five.

HOLDERS ELECTION TO
COVERNORSHIP CERTAIN,
HIS FRIENDS PREDICT

Atlanta, Ga.-As the gubernatorial
campaign enters its final stages, the
overwhelming election of John N.
Holder, of Jackson county, is accept
ed as certain by persons conversant
with sentiment throughout the state.
Bets are being freely offered, with no
takers in Atlanta, that Mr.. Holders
popular vote will far exceed that of
the combined opposition, and that his
majority of county unit votes will be
no less preponderating.
The certainty of Mr.. Holders cleo
ton is based primarily on the real
ization that he has rallied to his sup
port the great mass of Georgians who
are opposed to state bond issue.
The campaign has revealed the jack
son county man as the only candi-
date for governor who is opposed to
a bond issue without equivocation or
reservation of any sort.
Efforts of bond advocates to OBJ
scure the real issue admittedly have
failed. The people have not been
deceived. Attempts to divert atten-
ton have reacted in Mr.. Holders IA
vor. The people fully understand
that the campaign involves test OF
strength between those who would
contract heavy public debt, on the
one hand, and Mr.. Holder, on the
other, who is the outspoken champion
of the pay-as-you-go plan of highway
construction.
at is the field against Holder" re-
marked one of the keenest political
observers in the state. at is high
way bonds against the pay-as-you-go
plan of road building in Georgia.
The issue is clear cut and fully un-
derstood by the people, despite et-
forts to obscure it.
The soundness of the pay-as-you-
90 plan, as advocated alone by Mr.
Holder, admittedly is proving daily
a source of increasing strength for
his candidacy. The people are be-
coming more and more convinced that
the current revenues of the state are
abundant to construct magnificent
system of state highways. The
steady increase in these revenues, as
shown by treasury receipts, fully con-
firms Mr.. Holder and other pay-as-
you-go advocates that the compre-
hensive plan for highway develop
ment in Georgia, as approved by the
legislature, can and will be carried
out without plunging the state into
debt, as urged by bond advocates.
AS a further evidence of Mr.. Hol-
der's increasing strength with the
people it is pointed out in political
circles that the combined opposition
admits this in centering their fire
alone on his candidacy. He is the OBJ
ject of attack for each of the candi-
dates in the opposition.

PRODUCTION SMALL

The 1925 season for tobacco is at
an end. Much satisfaction has been
expressed by growers and buyers
alike on the results of the 1925 crop.
In point of quantity the season was
disappointing, the acreage in the
county being very small, but the
quality and prices received have ex-
ceeded the expectations of most of
the growers. 1t is expected that
much larger acreage will be in to-
bacco next year in this section.

An EXPLANATION

Some may wonder why we did not
Join the open air service at the park
Sunday evening.
In the first place we are, trying to
prevent a reaction from our recent
revival. 1t is as important to con-
serve the interest as it is to create it.
Then l feel like more conservative
work can be done in the church
house. Our house is comfortable and
commodious. The preacher can
preach more effectively and the peo-
pie can hear better in the church.
1t is not because we are averse to
the good fellowship spirit but purely
matter of the wisest thing to do.

GEORGIA AND FLORIDA MAY JOIN In NEW
BRIDGE OVER ST. MARY'S RIVER; PRESENT
STRUCTURE TOO SMALL FOR TRAFFIC

Jacksonville, Fla. - Negotiations
with the state highway board of
Georgia towards the construction of
new bridge over the st. Mary's
river on the observation-disclosures
road will be started Immediately, it
was declared by DR.. Fons A. Hatna-
way, chairman of the Florida State
Road Department. The Georgia Of
ficials are expected to readily CO.
operate with Florida in this much
needed project, the Florida chairman
believed.
DR.. Hathaway stated that he would
ask the Georgia authorities to share
equally the expense of constructing
the bridge, which he believed would
not be expensive to build on account
of the river being fairly narrow and
not exceptionally deep at the point
it is crossed by the Dixie Highway.
Present Bridge Too Small
The present bridge is entirely in
adequate to handle the traffic over
the road, DR.. Hathaway said after re-
turning from an inspection of the sit
aation. A one-way wooden bridge
now serves the motoring public and
a 50-cent toll is charged every We
hicle crossing the span.
The bridge profits amount to be-
tween $3.50 and $175 day, the
chairman said he was informed by
bridge tender, this sum being realized
from toll from around 800 to 400
cars a day. The span is jointly
owned by Nassau county in Florida
and Charlton county in Georgia, the
proceeds from the structure being di-
yided between the counties, the chair
man said.
The State koad Department is vi
tally Interested in removing all toll
bridges, especially from it's main
trunk lines, DIR. Hathaway declared.
The department is also anxious that
all bridges on such roads shall be
adequate to handle traffic and be OF
modern design, he said.
Important Highway
A new bridge connecting Georgia
and Florida is particularly needed to
handle the rapidly increasing traffic
over this important road, which is
one of the national trunk highways,
DR.. Hathaway said. He pointed out
that on the Atlantic Coastal highway
connecting Savannah and Brunswick,
Ga, with Jacksonville, modern and
expensive bridge is being built where
the two states join. This span will
cost more than 100000 when COM
pleted, the chairman said, with Flor
Ca bearing the major portion OF the
cost and Georgia and the federal gov
ernment also providing funds for the
project.
While investigating the st. Mary's
bridge situation on the Dixie high
way the State Road Department
chairman also inspected the recently
completed sections of the road in
Florida. Duval county has recently
completed the highway from Jackson
vile to the county line and the state
built the remainder of the road from
the Duval county line to the St.
Mary's river, giving modern hard
surfaced road for the entire distance.
