of Cobb County,


Editor Marietta Journal and Voters
of Cobb County,
My letter of recent date to the pub
lie on public roads, the commission
form of government and convct labor
was with pure motive and best int
crest of our county and no feeling in
the matter toward any one. pointing
out the danger ahead of us if we did
not stop spending SO much nd getting
so little for 1t. | did not write this
letter to get into controversy with
anyone was not seeking that. nor
am | seeking a controversy now. but
as my friend NJ. NJ. Sessions has come
back at me / feel like giving our tax
payers a few more thoughts. | call
MIR. Sessions my friend because he is
my friend, | have known him since
we were school boys together and we
have never had an unkind feeling,
and no unpleasantness in any way.
And in giving some facts in this let
ter l hope he will pardon me. and
! know he will. for he is good
fellow with big heart, Moultrie.
when he was school boy was quick
and impulsive TO act--did not stop
to think and since he has grown TO
manhood he is the same way He
jumps and doesn't know where he is
going to land. he is very extravaganza
IN his ideas as we'll as finances But
he don't mean any harm by IT, We all
know that no nation, state, county
or corporation or business of any kind
can spend more than its income and
succeed, II is compelled to so TO the
WALL. You take man that gets
salary of $1,000 weekly and spends

this road and see it. l am more thor
oughly convinced since | got those
figures that we can build our roads
and put them in good shape with
free labor and do it at once for fifty
per cent less than we are now spend
ing. Everybody knows with the
amount of taxes We are paying we
ought to have good roads.
But what promise or prospect
have we of ever getting the roads in
a passable condition with the con
victs?. Let us come together and
make a change bfeore we are 5000,
600 or 100000 in debt and be taxed
to death for the next ten or fifteen
years. You take our main trunk road
from here to Atlanta and after you
tpass Smyrna you can hardly get
along, one hole after another until
you pass the river hope this letter
will meet the same approval as my
first.
Cherokee county got rid of her
conyicts when they saw the expense

the same thing if we unite and work

body look to their best interest and
sign he petition when it is presented.
| know l am right and hope you think
So The commission form of govern
ment and the convict labor is doomed
it must go. The taxpayers are going
to demand change and Mr.. Sessions
might as we'll get on the band wagon
would like TO ask the Nesbitt

again. He does not understand it for
he is going to be mighty lonesome

TO say in answer to his remarks. |
want to give the voters and tax pay
ers few more facts and figures in
lline with whatI have. already said Il
believe under the present system we
are paying $500 for every $l00
worth of work we are getting. Our
roads are in such bad condition all
over the county, almost impossible,
everyone knows it but Mr.. Sessions.
| believe our people are ready for a
change and this is everybody's bus
mess or no one mans job. Let us get
together and do something. l have
had hundreds of organizations
from all over the county on my letter
saying my plan was the thing and
the only solution TO set good roads
and get them quick. The only way TO
get good roads is for every militia
district in the county to put a squad
of hands to work and work out ev-
cry road in that district so YOU see
by that means every road in the
county will get at least two workings
in year, We do not care for so much
hill digging and grading if we can
keep the holes filled up. We do not
need 50 many new roads opened up
and leave the old settled homes on
the old abandoned roads You take
the road from Marietta to Kennesaw
there was only about a quarter mile
impossible through MONDAY bottoms
Could have been fixed in good shape
for about $400 or $5o0. Mr.. Randall
saw fit to change the road and cut
"a new one about mile in length
through some big hills and large
timber to move making q cut through
Ia rock about twelve feet deep. The
people up there say the new road will
cost about $4,000 Is that the way
10 spend other peoples money! and
is that economy. l want to give you
some figures 10 think about on the
expense Of building roads, Mr.. Ran

contentious are we are spending too
much money for the amount of work
we are getting and l do not believe
the county can hold up with such eX-
travagance. MIR. Randall says they
are losing about a month and half
each year moving about from place
to place. You take seventy convicts
and all the guards and bosses-forty
five days each year lost-it amounts
to no little sum. | am informed that
the county has about ninety mules
valued at thirty thousand dollars. 1t
costs about $l5 per month to feed
each Of those mules. Do you think
we need all this stock? The feed bill
amounts TO Stopper day and this does
not count the food and clothing of
the convicts and the board and pay of
the guards The county treasurer tells
me the county is out of money now
and can't pay the county's expenses
for February, viii have to run the
balance of the year on borrowed mon
ely and pay interest out of our taxes
next fall. Is that good business?.
And yet Mr., Sessions says the county
is not in debt, We owt about So 900
for February's bills and no money in
the treasury except about enough to
pay the expenses of the two weeks
court that is now in session. MIR. SEES
sions makes the assertion that ii will
take one hundred years TO set over
our county roads with free labor, |
know my friend is wrong there. for
We used 10 work every public road in
the county before March court and
before November court and put them
in good shape We filled up the ruts
and holes, drained the mud holes
and that is more than We are getting
now.
am Informed by our mail carriers
and our country friends that there
ae miles and miles OF roads that has
not been touched in two years. Mr..
Sessions says ii would never do 10 put
all this business in the hands of the
ordinary as it is too inviting for
graft. 1t might be invjting TO Mr..
Sessions but don't believe it would
have any effect on a man like Judse

county treasurer handles the money.

WHO WILL BE GOVERN-
 OR OF ARKANSAS ?

Little Rock, Jan. 30. Who will
 be Governor of Arkansas to sue
 ooej Joe T, Robsinson, elected
 to serve the long term in the
 Senate, or will there be an cleo
 tion to fill the vacancy, is now
 the topic of discussion in Little
 Rock Candidates for the office,
 sbould an election be called, are springing up like toadstools af-
 fer a summer rain, but under
 meath it all is feeling there will
 be no election, even though the
 constitution requires one when
 the office of governor becomes
 vacant.
 While no announcement has
 been made, it is generally under stood that Gov. Robinson will not resign until after the end of the legislative session, and pos sibly not until late in the year. This will make a vacancy for sev- eral months in the office of Unit. ed States Senator, but friends of Gov. Robinson believe the state needs him more at this time than the nation, and he will probably listen to their advice. Among the possibilities in a race for governor appear the names of Dr.. C. F. Brough of the University of Arkansas, R. P. Allen of Van Buren, former member of the Arkansas Rail road Commission; Secretary of S'ate Earl W. Hodges, David A. Gates, chairman of the State Tax Commission; X. 0. Pindall, former acting governor; John H. Hinemon of Monticello, former Attorney General Hal l.. Nor wood, and Stephen Brundidge.

also spoken of Robert l.. Rog. CTS, former attorney general and now prosecuting attorney in Pulaski county, is an avowed candidate.
 ! Hal l.. Norwood Wednesday afternoon and night received a number of messages requesting him to make the race. He stated he would make any decision un. til a vacancy in the office exists and primary is called, as a great deal depends upon the date Of the primary. Stephen Brun. didge left Little Rock right af- ter the election of the United States Senator and an expres- sion from him could not be SC cured.
 Former Acting Governor X. 0. Pindall stated emphatically he will be in the race. He went further than this, wiring to a wealthy Mississippian, who has made overtures for the pur> chase of a 535 acre plantation owned by Mir. Pindall in Desha county, that he is willing to sell now in order to raise funds to make the race.
 The acting governor will hold the reins of government from the day of resignation of the gov ernor until successor is elected. Some argue the acting governor can refuse to call an election and hold onto the office until the end of Coy. Robinson's term. This has started speculation as to whom the acting governor will be. The Senate at it's close elects president pro tenn, who serves as lieutenant governor during the vacation of the Senate. For this position a hold over Senator, or one who will serve in the next Senate, is selected. Prominent among this number are Going of Poinsett, Harris of Monroe, Cal
