SUIT BETWEEN LEE
and PONTOTOC ENDED
Line VIII Remain Where 1t
Was Thought to Be. Let
ter from Mr.. Anderson
jackson, Miss, Feb. 8, 1908.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 8, 1908.
To the Editor Tupelo Journal:
knowing the interest some of
the Lee county people feel in the
question of thedisputed boundary
between Lee and Pontotoc, l
writeto let them know the status
of the matter in the legislature.
Lee county was created by
act of the legislature of 1866, the
line between Lee and Pontotoc
being fixed four miles west of
what has been treated as the line
for about thirty-two years. In
1870 the legislature created I'm
ion county, taking part of Ponto-
toe off the north. The legisla-
ture of 1872 came along and put
the line between Lee and Ponto
toe four miles east of where the
act of 1866 put it, giving Ponto-
toe eighty sections of land which
the act of 1866 gave to Lee,
which Pontotoc has had govern
mental control of ever since.
This eighty sections is the terri
tory in dispute. When the Cod
iiers prepared the Code Of 1880,
in order to get the boundaries of
Lee and Pontotoc, they evidently
| went to the act of 1866. or the
Code of 1871, which gave this
eighty sections to Lee, instead of
to the act Of 1872, which gave it
back to Pontotoc; and in this
way, through oversight of the
legislature of 1880, it was put
back into Lee; and evidently in
making the Code of 1892 the
boundaries laid down in the Code
Of 1880 were copied, and in the
same way the boundaries in the
Code of 1892 were copied into
the Code Of 1906. All the while.
from 1872 until recently, this
eighty sections was supposed by
everybody to be in Pontotoc, ane
Pontotoc had possession and con.
troll Of it. So it is clear this
territory was put into Lee by
mistake Of the legislature Of
1880, and has SO continued since,
in the manner | have stated.
For several years a good many
people al Sherman, Chesterville
and other places in this disputed
territory have been clamoring tt
get into Lee county. They dt
their trading at Tupelo, and arr
inaccessible to Pontotoc. While
was in the legislature Of 1885,

which he refused to do. Las

their petitions to me to have
them put into Lee; and | was in

some that they were already il

most of these people wanted to
be, and ought to be in Lee coun-
ty, they employed my law firm to
bring the necessary suit to recov-
er this territory, agreeing to pay
us $2500. 90 if we succeeded, and
nothing if we did not. We filed
the necessary bill in the Chan
Gerry Court of Pontotoc county,
which is now pending there. We
were willing and thought fright,
and think so yet, to take advan-
tage of the mistake in the law,
to get these people into Lee coun-
ty, because we thought they
wanted to come, and ought to be
there.
AS soon as the legislature con-
vened Senator Franklin Of Pom
totoc, reconizing we would beat
him in the courts, introduced a
bill in the senate to correct the
mistake, and put this territory
back into Pontotoc. This bill
was referred to the committee
on county affairs. | appeared
before the committee and Sena-
tor Franklin and myself were
heard. He frankly stated to the
committee that the law as writ
ten gave the territory to Lee but
claimed (Which l ADMITTEDLY it
was by mere mistake. l con-
tended that Notwithstanding
this, if these people wanted to
be in Lee county, no change
ought to be made in the bound
aries. The committee gave me
until February 7th to show by Pc
tition how the people stood.
Through Mr.. Long they were not
fed and got up petitions and cir
culated them, and sent them here
to me. The committee heard
the matter again yesterday the
7th inst. Senator Franklin was
on hand with largely more, petit
tionning to be put back into Pom
totoc than | had, asking to be put
into Lee. He beat me all to
pieces on the petitions. For some
unaccountable reason to me the
people in this strip had changed
their minds. | had hoped any
any way, alarge majortyof those
in the eastern two mile strip tone
half Of the disputed territory
would ask to remain in Lee, and
| had so stated to the committee;
but we even "fell down. on
this. So | was left thigh and
dry" with the naked law on my
side, and that by mistake, and
equity and good conscience and
the people against me | told
the committee | had nothing fur
Their to say; that they could go
ahead and report favorably on
the bill, which they did, and
which ends the fight. / could
not afford to fight with such odds
against me | could not, and
ought not to win, since the peo-
pie in that strip wanted to re-
main in Pontotoc. So the line
between Lee and Pontotoc will
be put where we have thought it
was all these years.
The law suit brought by the
Board of Supervisors Of Lee
county will cost the county moth
ing. So no harm is done.
Respectfully.
