COMMUNICATION.
GoULDsBoRo, Feb. 8,

70 the Editor Of The american:
We have had very moring time here,
as oreshadowed by your correspondent
f'PaX" i'll a late paper. But as he did not
give all the facts and figures, please per-
NIT me to DO SO.
About a month ago Lawyer Freeman, of
Cherry lie 4. gave our ladies' aid society
the sGuulosboro re-house' for a society
building. Mrs. Jemims Tracy, OF the
society, u ked ME TO donate o the society
site for the building at the corner. l
replied thai would be pleased to do SO,
and wouJa give them a deed of the lot
We selected location about fifty feet
south ef what l have for more than
tWenty years claimed as my northern
line. ana no one has ever disputed the
claim.
The rext cay l heard from several
source~ that the society did not thank
me tfhat Is true) for my kindness, As
it in ei+ptd TO place the building there
anyheN. / took me several minutes to
gstat s.tae true inWardness" of so war
Hike q measure. Maceo is dead and
Gomez could lend them but little aid
even # tie lad plenty of ammunition.
After bout nine minutes, light
dawnea. Tais society has a decided lean
towards tine Methodist church. Though
an sgno-fie myself, yet my ancestors, all
the Way through the dim past, have been
Bapti-ts, and majority of the aid
society Were ayerSe to receiving a gift
from SO ignobIe source.
+. T. y nitaker told me that he had
always known about these properties,
and that my north line was far enough
away from The selected building site.
W. W. SowIe said: Il have always sup
about thirty feet south of the building
site marked the northern boundary of
yoar land Now, in the absence of any
proof from plans or deeds, l am not sure
that the opinion OF Mr. Whitaker. Mr.
Sowie. and perhaps others, would con-
strain court to draw such line as
would give the building site to he Ward
lot.
Five days before they hauled the build
ing l told Mrs. Tracy that l could not
give her a deed of what might be shown
to be another persons property. She
made no reply, and l heard nothing more
till the cay they hauled the building,
when l suggested to one of the bosses
shat they mad better place the building
about fifty feet further north than they
intended. l wished them well, and
simply wanted them to locate as near an
uncertain line as possible. hoping that
said Lime" would be so uncertain that
NO one would ever want to try to disturb
them.
They would not recognize my flag of
truce, but placed the building here they
intended. and now, after having cooled
of, none Of the society will advance
money 10 finish the building till they
find out ~ mere they are att.
Last Meek I heard that they had been
warned H7 keep off the Ward lot, which
ssccount-, ~ course, for their not placing
the bul-a ~ atty feet further north.
Yesterd-s J heard they were trying to
create t-atral zone about 100 feet wide,
with tn .siiug on it.
wss a41 TO say that such scheming
Is worth better cause, but that old
saw re.a- l.t.e incoherently here.
Had aeeu no scheming and fewer
bosses, --.ii Y would have reigned.
