TOO MANY PAPERS

The Sweetwater Record, which

only a few short months ago, has
turned its toes to the sun. and is
no more. Time brings about
many revelations. 1t used to be
that the more newspapers a town
had the better off the business
men and the people in general
thought they were. Ii mattered
not whether either was bigger
than an ordinary thumb-paper,
or how il was thrown together,
the number was what they want
ed; its changed now. The bust
ness man, the professional man
and the reading public believe in
better newspapers and they know
that to have this thew must con-
centrate their patronage. 1t has
been thoroughly tested and
found that the average town of
four to five thousand people can
not support more than one paper
and do so decently. 1t has been
learned by actual experience that
one well patronized paper in a
town is far better for everybody
concerned than two that look like

TREES For TFXAS

AhsAsfN@ y Wv a @hAh1
II there is one place in the
whole world where trees ought
TO be planted. not only for the
use of future generations, but e
give some comfort to those who
are living IN the present, that
place is Texas. The sun shines
in Texas, as most of the popula
ton found out the past summer.
and trees make a greatful shade
when "Old Sol" is sending down
his penetrating rays. The lack
of general precipitation is no
valid excuse for refraining from
planting trees that are in
digenous TO this climate. Trees
are relative. Some varieties
would succeed in a moist eli
mate and would perish in the dry
atmosphere of Texas; but there
are varieties which can with
stand the ardency OF the Texas
summers: they have been de-
veloped through centuries of
semi-arid conditions. and are
patiently waiting for the hand
of man TO give them transplanta-
ton and care.
Many European countries are
replacing the forests that once
covered the slopes Of their hills
but which centuries OF destruc-
ton have caused to vanish. The
German government is engaged
in a scheme OF reforestatlon
whose completion will not be
reached for more than a hundred
years from now; yet the result
not doubtful, for the state re-
forested areas are bringing a
handsome annual revenue.
Norway is another case in
point. A consular report from
Bergen states that tree plant

place in 1900 70 rehabilitate the
rapidly dwindling forests Of the

society, assisted by auxiliary
societies. l44 in number. has

Lee County'S Large Growth
For Past Year Summarized
MANY IMMIGRANTS HAVE SETTLED HERE AND HELPED TO
BUILD Up THE COUNTY-OPPORTUN AFFORDED
THEM ARE UNEXCELLED-NEW YEAR
IA RECORD BREAKER.
cFRo, THE cHAUrAuouA EDITION Of THE ALBANY HERALD1

Tn demonstrating clearly that
there is no county in Georgia that
offers better opportunitie for worthy
white migrants, Lee county has
done notable work during the past
year. More migrants have come to
the county to make their home than
has been true in many years past.
Invariably these newcomers have
purchased their own farms and
homes and will stay in Lee county
to grow mp with the remarkable de-
velopment that has set in through
out the county.
OF the numerous white immi-
grants from northern Georgia 10
the southern part Of the state, Lee
county has gained its share thepast
year. Last fall and up until q short
time ago in the present yeaI these
immigrants came steadily to Lee
county. They form most desirable
element Of the newer population OF
the county, and they have come to
the county recently in larger nun
bers than immigrants from South
Carolina. Numerous South Caro-
linians, however, have settled in Lee
county during 1912, joining their
numerous friends who have been
coming to Lee county for many
years to find homes.
No feature Of the growth Of the
county during 1912 was more en-
couraging than the increasing num-
Ter Of small white farmers who are
coming to make their homes here.
This is what Lee county needs, and
it offers these immigrants induce
ments that can be found in few
other sections Of the state. These
many advant iges the immigrants
who come are not slow to recognize,
and they make known the rich re-
sources Of Lee county to their friends
in northern Georgia and South
Carolina.
In this manner the large number
of satisfied immigrants who have
come from South Carolina and
northernGeorgia to Lee county have

Not To Be Believed.

Mr.. JOHNNIE" Schofeld, the
comedian, relates an amusing story.
A certain doctor had patient. One
day he came to the doctor in great
trouble. During the night, he said
he had accidentally swallowed a
mouse. The doctor told him to get
a cat and some fried cheese and to
lie on his back with mis- mouth open
andthe cheese on his nose. Then, :"
said the doctor, when the mouse
smells the cheese he viii come up
for it, and the cat will then be able
to catch it," The man thanked
him and went home. But thenext
day he was back again in worse
trouble than ever. ''Well, did you
do as 1 told your" asked the doc
tor. Yes said the man, but
while was lying on my back fell
off to sleep. Now the cat is miss
ing. and I'm afraid it has gone
down after the mouse.

Grand Jury Recommended
Publication Of Minutes
JOURNAL WILL PERFORM IT'S PART OF THE AGREE
MENT AND WILL PUBLISH MINUTES OF THE
NEXT MEETING

During their session at the spring
term Of the Superior court OF Lee
county the grand jury recommended
that the minutes Of the county COM
missioners of the county be pub
lished in accordance with the offer
made by The Journal some time
ago and which was never formally
acted upon by the county commits
|sioners, though three out Of the
four declared themselves personally
in favor Of such publicity
1t is gratifying to The Journal
that the members Of the grand jury
took this action, and it should be
even more gratifying to the people
Of Lee county who have a right to
know how the money they pay for
taxes is spent. 1t will be recalled
that the offer made by The Journal
to the county commissioners was
that The Journal would agree to
publish the minutes Of the meetings
of the commissioners for the remain
der Of the year free, if the grand
jury would agree to pay for the pub,
locations of these minutes beginning
with the year 1914 at a price not to
be less than $50 per year, said price
to be agreed upon by the business
manager of The Journal and the
proper authorities for the county.
The Journrl could have gone a.
head and commenced publishing
these minutes as soon asst made the
offer to the county commissioners
and they failed to taBe any official
action upon it, as the minutes Of
such meetings as well as all other
papers and records Of the county
when placed on file are accessible to
the public and would naturally be
available for publication in news
paper. But The Journal wished the
people Of the county through their
grand jurors to make some public
Of their wishes in this
matter. The grand jury did this,
SO The Journal will carry out its
part Of the contract faithfully. It is
through no mercenary motive that
The Joornal made the offer, as the
publication Of the minutes will be
worth far more than what is to be
paid, while The Journal gave proof
Of it's good faith in this matter byl
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1913-05-22

agreeing to publish these minutes
/ for the remainder Of the year
absolutely free.
It will be tho purpose Of The
Journal to give to the people of Lee
county all available information
concerning the expenditures Of the
county commissioners and the
management Of the county's affairs
by that body. The clerk will bere
quested to furnish to The Journal
after the close Of each month de-
tailed and itemized statement Of
each bill for that month, how much
was paid, for what paid, and to
whom paid. In this manner the
people Of the county may know how
their affairs are being managed.
The recent grand jury indicated in
its presentments thatsuch. publicity
has been needed in the past. as, for
instance, when they included the
following statelnentin their present
ments published in this paper last
week:
In examining the records, we
find that in many estimates the
county commissioners have paid
exorbitant prices for supplies for
chain-gang, as for instance, March
%, 1918, 100 lbs. Of rice, $3.50,
and various others too numerous to
mention. We also note item of SIS
paid for use Of stump puller'
II such expenditures, which are
ermedexorbitant by thegrand jury,
are made in the future, it will be the
purpose Of The Journalto publish
these items, as after each meeting
Of the commissioners a complete list
Of the expenditures for the month
will be published. The people Of
thecounty may then know how these
expenditures are being made. They
can Judge for Themselves whether
such expendituresare ashley should
be, and they can form their opinions
accordingly and mold their actions
accordingly without having to wait
for the grand Jury to inspect these
accounts. This is the plan in use
in practically every county in Geor-
gia.
1t is generally agreed that whole
one publicity is an agent for good
