AN EXPLANATION.

AcwoRTH, GA, Jan. 18th, 1908.
Editors Marietta Journal:
Dear Sirs-I am informed that some
OF my friends are apprehensive that, in
the event Of my election as one of the
representatives in the legislature,
will advocate the creation Of q new
county, composed of parts of the coun-
ties of Cobb, Barlow, Cherokee and
Paulding. | wish to say such appre-
tensions are unfounded. l will not ad-
vocate snch measure. The creation of
new counties means new and more Sc
we're burdens Of taxation, which are
quite heavy enough already.
Furthermore such measure as the
creation Of new county in this section
is utterly impracticsble. Under the
Constitution of the State as amended
by Acts 1904 and 1907, no more new
counties can be created in the State.
The policy of the State is opposed to
the making of any more new counties,
as illustrated IN the cases of Barnes
vile, Winder and Villa RIGA.
While some some OF the citizens of
my town would like to have new
county in this section, yet, they realize
its impracticability, and will not expect
such thing,
Respectfully,
J. j. NoRTHoUTT.
