GROWTH OF RURAL DELIVERY IN TERRELL
Ten Routes Are Already in Operation in This County,
Two New Ones Have Been Ordered, and ApPhca-
ton for Another Has Been Sent to Washington

Hayes store and southeast from
there to Gravel Hill, and thence south
via Jones mill to Graves.
Ten routes are already in operation
in the county, and with the installa-
ton of the two routes from Dawson
the number will be increased to twelve.
With this additional service seven
routes will 90 out from Dawson. The
others in the county are three from
PARROT and two from Brentwood.
The county is now, or will be after
Nov. 18th, almost practically covered
by the rural delivery service, which
was begun in Terrell with three routes
from Dawson a little more than five
years ago. The service at that time
was in its experimental stage, but the
farmers soon realized what great
it was for them, and petit
tions from those unserved went rap
idly to the department. 1t is now re-
garded as almost indispensable, and
the fact that nearly every citizen OF
the county living in the country has
his mail delivered at his door daily is
a source of great satisfaction.

CAN'T sUB-LET CoNVICTs.
County Commissioners Turn Down
RandOIph's Application.

The county commissioners of Ter
rell county have notified Randolph
county that they cannot lease any
convicts to the latter, in response to
that county's application for ten or
more of Terrell's road hands.
The reasons for this refusal are
that it was found to be unlawful for
county to suitcase its cOnvicts and
that, even if this were not true, Ter
rell needs every bit of the convict
labor she has at present to salts
factorily work her own public roads.
The application for cOnvicts was made
several weeks ago by Randolph, which
has recently adopted the convict sys-
tenn of road working, and Chairman
Christie of the board of commissioners
was appointed to inquire into the le-
gality of the proposition and deter
mine upon the ACCESSIBILITY of comply
ing with the request of Terpell's neigh
Dor. His report in the matter deter
mined the boards action in refusing
to make the lease.

ARE NOT LIQUOR DEALERS
CONGRESSMAN GRIGGS RECEIVES
IMPORTANT LETTER.
Farmers Who Give Their Hands Or
ders for Whiskey Do Not Violate
the Law. Says Mr.. Yerkes.

Ikbe AJdN, 49,
Congressman James M. Griggs has
received communication from Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Jno.
w. Yerkes, which will be of deep
interest not alone to the farmers in
this section who recently were held as
retail liquor dealers by special agents
of the revenue service in that the
former gave orders ON whiskey houses
for liquor to be supplied to their
hands. but to- planters of the south
generally.
Some weeks ago representatives OF
the revenue service in Georgia declar-
ed that certain farmers in one or two
nearby counties were engaging IN the
retail liquor business inasmuch as
thev had given their hands orders for
whiskey. and a demand was made up
on them for back taxes and the Sc
curing of license, in default OF which
prosecution was threatened. Congress
man Griggs, believing this action I'M
Just, Immediately took up the matter
with the commissioner of internal reve-
nue. at Washington himself, making a
strong argument for the dismissal of
the charges and demand for licenses
that had been en- joined.
In reply to Judge Griggs' letter,
Commissioner YerkeS states: Il do
not think it proper for the bureau to
enforce these payments of men who
have followed the line of transaction
set forth so clearly by you in your
letter" While this opinion is not
final, the commissioners letter as a
whole implies that he will not change
his mind after a fuller study of the
matter.
Judge Griggs' elicitation of the com
missioner's opinion was a very timely |
ana important action, and the com
statements with reference
to the matter will be taken cognizance
Of with gladness by farmer through !

HERE is HOT STUFF, SURE
TattnaI County Paper Resents Hon.
HOke Smiths Attack on Hon.
Nj. ]. YeOmanS.
Nj. ]. YeOmans.

The Tattnall Times does not like
Hon. HOke Smiths criticism of Hon.
NJ. j. Yeomans of Dawson, and says
so in way that cannot be mistaken.
In a recent speech at Reidsville, in
Tattnall county, Mr.. Smith attacked
Mr.. YeOmans for some appointments
the latter had made as chairman of
the state democratic executive com
mittee, and the Times tells as follows
what it thinks of Mr.. Smiths criti-
ciSmS:
Doubtless the supporters of Hoke
Smith WINGED when they heard in his
speech at Reidsville Monday his I'M
called-fOr attack on Hon. M. J. YeO-
mans, chairman of the state demo-
cratic executive committee.
"His attack on Mamie is like every
thing else he says-indetinite, cOwardly
and entirely unprOvOked. He said the
state chairman had appointed an I'M
named member upon the state execu-
tive committee who was friend to
the railroads, and who was in sympa-
thy with the ring.
'"This charge shows cowardice, be-
CAUSE IlG OlO nOb HAVE LllG nerve anu
fairness to name this committeeman,
so that he or Mr.. YeOmans either
would have an opportunity to defend
themselves against slanderous attack.
IF any people in the world know
Manning Yeomans it is the people of
Tattnall county, the home of his birth
and nativity, where he was reared.
Indeed, he is one of US, having rela-
tives by the score throughout this
county and the entire section, and
those who are not his relatives are
his personal friends.
''The people of Tattnall feel Justly
proud of Manning Yeomans. He is
an able lawyer, a faithful and efficient
officer, a true citizen of the noblest
! type, and above all a sef-made man
whose giant intellect towers among
the highest of Georgia's statesmen,
and whose record of conduct has
never been criticized or besmirched
save by the slanderous and villifying
tongue of HOke Smith.
The people of Tattnall ought TO,
and will, resent the insult at the polls
in the primary next year,

Bv a vote of 252 to 3 bonds for the
purchase of the waterworks system
we're carried in Dawson Tuesday,
While it was practically conceded be,
fore the election that the issue OF $45,-
900 specified would be voted, no one
looked for favorable sentiment so
Rearly unanimous,
-~~ffhe election was q comparatively
ouiet one: There were 289 voters reg
jstered, and more than two-thirds of
this number had voted by Il O'Clock.
Under the law it was necessary to Sc
cure 1913 votes-two-th thirds of the num-
Der registered-to carry the bonds.
Thirty-four who had registered did
not vote,
The council at a called meeting
Wednesday formally declared that
the requisite number Of votes had been
secured, and shortly thereafter appli-
cation was made to the solicitor gem
eral to have the bonds validated.
Solicitor Laing has already begun
the necessary process for the bonds
valuation. The law provides that he
shall file in the name of Georgia an
application to Judge of a superior
court for the valuation of the bonds,
and he has already entered be
fore Judge Spence such n petition. 1t
will be necessary for Judge Spence to
set a day for the hearing Of the Ques
ton, and notice of this date must he
given TO the voters by the clerk Of the
court, the same being announced for
two weeks through the medium OF the
official newspaper Of the county.
ANY persons who desire to do so
NAV enter, through an attorney, pro-
test against the bonds valuation. In
the event they are declared legal by
the court twenty days are allowed in
which to appeal to the supreme court.
IT will thus be seen that nearly two
months is the shortest possible time In
which all of the steps can be gone
through with and the bonds finally de-
.clared legal. 1t is believed, however,
that nearly three months will elapse
before the matter is permanently
adjusted, and it will probably be
the first of January before the pur-
chase of the bonds is cOnsummated,

thereof. turned over to the waterwOrks
