MANN LAUNCHES HIS
CAMPAIGN AT CT. HOUSE
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR ON
BOND ISSUE SPOKE TO THE
VOTERS HERE FRIDAY.

Hon. B. F. Mann of Brunswick,
candidate for Governor, addressed
fair assembly of voters at the Court
house last Friday, making frequent
reference to the inefficiency in the
conduct of the agricultural depart
ment, especially in its methods used
in the gasoline inspection, and the
speaker averred that more than a
$1OO,OOO.0O could be saved by adopt
ing more scientific method of in
speeding gasoline. He also paid his
respects to the State Highway de-
partment, to which he ascribed a
wastefulness in the expenditure of
road funds, much of which he claim
ed was due to the expensive super
visory system in vogue under the
present regime.
Urging the bonding of the state
for highway and educational pur-
poses, Mr.. Mann advocated the build
ing of permanent state roads with
federal aid, allowing the counties to
utilize their credit for the construc-
ton of strictly county roads. Mr..
Mann is plain business man with
large experience in mercantile at.
fairs and has represented his county
for many years in the Legislature.
o, Col. w. H. Lasseter introduced the
speaker, who had the closest atten-
ton during the entire discourse.

FAVOR OF PUBLIC
A. O lMurphey Writes
Card to the Macon
Telegraph.

In letter to the Macon Tele-
graph, the Fitzgerald traffic officer
is handed nice bouquet, which of
course goes for the whole town.
The letter follows:
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
There is little town just below
Hawkinsyille called Rochelle. 1t is
situated on one arm of the highway
from Fitzgerald to Hawkinsville.
am writing to warn the travel
ing public to shun this town and go
or come via Abbeville, otherwise they
are apt to be held up by big, burly
policeman who swings a big stick.
was riding through this place at a
very slow pace trying to find out
how to get through to Hawkinsville.
just as turned corner of a street
fully 80 feet wide, I noticed a post
on the right hand dead corner COW
cred with road signs. We drove up
side of this post Dread the signs
and get our bearings. Imagine our
surprise when at the next corner we
were held up by this big hurley traf-
fic cop and forced to put up cash
bond. When asked why we were be-
ing held up he replied that he was
under bond to collect 81 from every
man who did not drive around that
aforesaid sign bedecked post. Mind
you there was no evidence that the
aforesaid post was other than place
upon which to fasten the road signs.
Hence it is that wish to warn the
travelling public against going thro
this little town, for they are sure to
be pulled by this same over-zealous
big stick traffic cop.
Contrast this with the courteous
attitude of the traffic cop at Fitzger-
aid. Here the cop noted our hesita-
ton trying to find our way through
and he came across the street, intro.
duced himself and rendered any SER
vice in his power to help US, and
when he had given us the proper d.
rection, extended a cordial invitation
to come again.
Highway hold-ups are very nau-
seating to the travelling public.

room of the school building was
crowded with pleased listeners while
the band rendered a generous num-
Der of favorite selections from their
repertoire, following the baton of
their director, Mr.. Glenn johnson, in
careful way,
Prof. Kickighter, the principal,
expressed his appreciation of the
visit and music, promising the will
ing cooperation of the Ashton
school in any way possible to benefit
the band.

trustee, also commented in a favor
; able way on the band and the good
spirit engendered by their visit.
In closing Mr.. j. E. Turner re-
