as a Stimulus to our officers to do
their duty. When / say this / say
it in no spirit Of fault finding or
criticism, for indeed, / believe tLat,
there is no county in the state which
has placed at its helm more upright,
contentious gentlemen. However,
as have said | believe that public
knowledge Of affairs aided with we'll
timed well meant criticism can but
serve as stimulus and a, guide to
any officer who has at heart the in
terests Of the people.
Even in private life no man is
wholly asleep to praise or criticism;
no man wears an armour impregn-
able to its darts; no one but who
will strive to do better when his eff
forts areapplauded; no one who will
do worse because Of well meant cri-
tisim. And what are the people
asking for but to be informed-that
they may praise and criticise? Ac-
cording to MY view it is merely an
expression Of a desire on the part Of
the people to be informed.
Our financial status was alluded
to by Mr.. Hines in his letter. He
speaks Of the county Indebtedness
He says that it is plunging into
bankruptcy, Fam not conversant

do not believe that q passing Of a
resolution by the commissioners to
publish the minutes Of their meet
ings would tide usoytrt his financial
stra n. The only benefit that would
be derived would be to strive as
check from getting fnrtherinto debt.
It then behoovcs US to look further
and invent a way to relieve this
embarassnent-to give us
relief that we may bring
to gather all our forces to gain per
relief.
1t seems to me that it is not time

In order that the Teople OF Ice
county may have record each nor
tn and after each special meeting O
the county commissioners OF the
proceedings Of that body, The Jour.
nal has submitted to the board Of
county commissioners a proposal 70
print free for the remainder Of the
year 1918 the minutes and other
reco. DIS of .he commissioners. The
Journal makes this generous otter
because the people of Lee county
want this information, and The
Journal wants them to have it. The
offer to publish the minutes free Is
made because Of the critical condl-
ton in which the finances OF the
county are now found.
Notwithstanding the fact thai IN
majority of the counties OF Gecr-
gia the county commissioners re-
gularly pay for the printing OF the
minutes of their proceedings, thls
offer is made by The Journal 50 that
the people Of the county may at once
gain the publicity with reference TO
the affairs of the county which they
now seek, or know the reason why.
The text to the letter submitted by
The Journal to the commissioners
is as follows:
In view of the fact that there
has been a widespread appeal from
the people Of E.se county fer the
publication Of all the minutes and
records Of the proceedings Of the
county commissioners, The Journal
offers in the interests of the people
of Lee county, as well as its CONF
missioners, to pul sh all these
minutes and records free for the re-
mainder OF the current year, pro-
vided that at the beginning of the
year 1914 the county commissioners
a.e to pay for the publication Of
these minutes for the year 1914 and
succeeding years not less than $50
per annum, the exact amount to be
agreed upon by the board Of COM
missioners and the businossmanascr
Of The Journal with the provision
that the sum is to be not less than
$50 per annum. as hitherto men,
toned.

State Game Warden
Prosecuting Dove BaltsTs
Probably 500 prOsseuiioustO be made.


More than 500 prosecutions have
already resulted and will result from
violations Of the state game law as
to that most wanton Of all game
butchering, dove batting.
State Game Warden Mercer, is
aroused over the general violation
OF this clause in the game law for
the season just closed, and he is go
irg after the violators without
gloves. One feature of this game
violation is the fact that practically
all engaged in it are men Of promi-
hence and standing in theircommu-
mites.
Most Of the prosecutions will he
in Southwest Georgia, and some Of
them it is reported here in Lee
county.
In Sumter county a banker WHO
was one Of the most enthuiastl,,
men in the state fer tie new game
law and aided the warden in organ
.izinS u club in Americas for the pro-
lection Of game and to aid in up
holding the lay, is himself guilty Of
is violations Of the dove batting Sec
ton. He bagged on one baited field
IDS birds in one day, which is 50
more than the legal limit of 40 for
asingle days shoot, and furthermore
the killing of doves on baited fields
Is strictly against the law.

Journal Offers to Print The
Commissioners Minutes Free
THE JOURNAL HAS SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY CoNNIs
sIoNERs PROPOSAL. TO PRINT WITHOUT CHARGE THE
MTNIrTEs OF THE COMMISSIONERS FOR IHE RE
MAINDER OF THE YEAR 1918

county commissioners are doubtless
aware Of he fact that such minutes
and records are regularly published
and paid for in various counties in
the state. 1t is with the kindliest
motive that The Journal has voiced
the demand of the people of Lee
county for the Publishing Of the
minutes of the commissioners and
it is with this am9 motive that The
Journal now offers to publish the
minutes without remuneration for
the remainder Of the year. The
public spirit and county pride Of
The Journal has already besn shown
In its endeavort do everything pos
sible toadvertise and tobuiid upthe|
county. The Journal pledges itself
to DO all that is possible in the fu-
ture, even more than in the past if
it can be done, to aid the county
commissioners in their work Of max
ing Lee c,uaty the best county OF its
size and ponlation in the state.

An Issue Of Bonds by County
ChampiOned by Mr.. Forester.
TEREST ON IT'S INDEBTEDNESS COMMENDS THE
JOURNAL IN IT'S DEMAND FOR PUBLICITY FOR
COUNTY AFFAIRS.

| v s-.i
Another indication Of the wide
and renewed interest that has been
awakened here with respect to the
affairs os Lee county in a financial
way is the receipt by The Journal
of a card from Mr.. Robert r. For
roster, the well known young local
attorney, who commends The Jour-
nal in the stand it has taken for
publicity relative to the affairs Of
the county commissioners and even
goes farther and champions bond
issue.
The Journal welcomes this ex-
preston Of opinion from Mr.. For
roster, as it does from every citizen
of Lea county in regard to affairs Of
such great importance as this. Mr..
Forester stated vital truth when
he said that the publishing Of the
minutes and proceedings Of the
county commissioners would do
much toward keeping the county
from getting farther in debt. This
is thing that thc.county commits
sioners can do at once and give
eminent satisfaction to all, the peo-
pie of Lee county.
The matter OF the bond issue is d
very vital one 1t is one every citi-
zen should think over. II may af-
ford a solution for the present status
of affairs in Lee county. Mr.. For
roster thinks it will, and Ills card
relative to the matter is as follows:
To the Citizens Of Lee County:
It has been my pleasure TO keep
in touch Nth the current Issues of
The Lee County Journal, in which
I have noticed letters from Fopres-
entative citizens Of our county rela-
tive to the uplifting and betterment
Of our county's financial condition.
And particularly have | noted the
letter written by Mr.. J. NJ. Hines
which appeared in the last issue Of
The Journal. While my views do
not exactly coincide with the views
of Mr.. Hines, | can but place my
stamp of approval upon the prin-
eipal theme Of his letter.
I believe in publicity in regard
to our county affairs. | think it a
good idea to have the minutes Of the
meetings Of our county commits
sioners published in our official
glm tie. / believe that it would act

a
Mr.. Lucius Kimbrough, the pop

Mr.. Kimbrough is an experienced
