to County Commissioners.
Triton, Ga, Oct. 26.-Since the bond
issue for the purpose of building a
court house and Jail in Sylvester, the
new county site of Worth, failed, and
the County Commissioners levied a
tax of S24.s0 per thousand. or an in
crease of SIG per thousand over the
former tax. the taxpayers of Worth
county have been very much dissatis-
fed, and have employed counsel to
look after their interests with the hope
of being relieved of the increase.
A meeting was held in Sylvester yes
terday, at which hundreds of taxpay-
ers met to discuss the increase. The
commissioners, however, had met the
day before and reduced the levy from
80 per thousand to $3.50 per thou
sand for each year until the buildings
have been completed. This was mu-
tually agreed to after some discussion,
and the work on the new Court House
is going on at a rapid rate. 1t is eX-
pected that the new buildings will be
ready by next fall term of the court.

Some hOt-heads in the community
advised her to move away without
asking any motive for her deliverance.
She replied to this suggestion of going
away by saying that the interview in
question was not fair; that as soon as
its publication was called to her at
tention, she had correction made and
published in the Times-Star, but the
fact that the correction was printed al
most one month after the original in
treview had been given to the people
lent but small color to her claim OF
misquotation and sincerity. The geo.
graphical location of the school--the
half-tone cut of the building-and her
own sweet face-could not have been
creatures Of the imagination. She
claimed that the reporter had ap-
preached her by asking what she had
seen in this mountain locality that
was strange or interesting to her.
She named a few instances, such as
she had met one eighteen year old
boy who hadn't heard of George
Washington and to whom the Fourth
of July was an unknown story: that
she had seen one farmer dragging
his field with a tree-top: that she had
said there was a scarcity of seats in
the mountain churches and that some
times the congregation had to stand.
Those, and other specific instances
given We're treated by the reporter as
a generality, according to her conten-
ton.

Fopulist leaders who are nearly all in
the pay of the Republicans to make it
easy for their followers to openly join
the Republican party, and in order TO
effect this, they are using false and
plausible arguments to try and make
the farmer believe that whatever pros
perity he enjoys is due to protection,
whereas there is not any man who will
investigate the matter at all who will
not learn that whatever prosperity the
farmers in this country enjoy is in
spite of the burdens imposed upon
them by protection. No grower of

any other staple is benefited one iota
