Judge ]. c. Hart Was Heard BY
a Large Crowd Here Last Monday
He explained clearly and simply the meaning and purpose O the new
tax laws Of CeOrga-Address should serve to do much
good in Lee County. sa'

Judge John C. Hart, state tax
commissioner Of Georgia, was here
last Monday and addressed large
crowd Of citizens Of Lee county at
the court house at the noon recess
Of the court, giving simply and
clearly an explanation Of the mean
ing and purpose Of the new tax laws
of the state. Judge Hart was heard
by a large number Of Lee county
citizens, who listened attentively
to the address from start to finish.
many Of those present Having met
the state tax commissioner in per-
son.
Judge Hart opened his address by
mentioning the fact that though
taxation is an unpleasant subject it
is one necessary and imperative for
each citizen toiknow and to under
stand. He repeated the statement
that he has made elsewhere in the
state to the effect shatin his opinion
only one seventh Of the taxable pro-
pefty in the state is returned foi
taxation under the present system.
IT is not a case Of where the state
government is extTavagant, said he,
but of where the citizsnso of the state
are negIectful in returning their
property in a just and equitable
manner.
A telling blow was dealt at the
failure Of persons to return what
was termed invisible property"
loans, notes, etc. He gave an in
stance Of this kind OF where II was
discovered thata nan who owned
$3.50 600, mort Of which was in
loans andsother e0llateral, returned
his total property At less than 81
000. The corrections of such fail
ures to pay taxes is one Of the chief
purposes Of the law. Judge Hart
concluded his address by urging that
the county commissioners OF Lee
county appoint only the best and
the most fearless men as tax asses
sors to begin their work January ]
under the provisions ofths new law.

Says Local Highway is
Unsurpassed in Georgia

In all my experience as trav-
eler over the roads Of Georgia /
have never seen i stretch, Of high
way that is equal to that Of the
roadway between Leesburg and
Smithville on the Andersonville-
brownsville route, y said DR.. E. l..
Thurman, Of Americas, who was q
visitor here last Sunday, having
come down in his car from Ameri-
Gus accompanied by his wife to
spend the day with Judge H. L.
Long and family.
To find a stretch Of roadway
fifteen miles long without single
turn from straight line is unusual,
while this roadway is one Of the
prettiest and best constructed I
have ever seen. The people Of Lee
county have good cause to feel
proud Of this road, as well as Of
the other good roads Of the county.
Every one who drives an autornO-
bile over this road cannot help but
sing the praises Of Lee county as a
builder Of good roads. y
The drive down from Americas
over Lee county's beautiful roads
was source of great pleasure to
Or. Thurman, who was accOmpa-
MED by his wife, who is also a
practitioner, both being osteopath-
ic physicians of statewide promi-
nence and reputation. DR.. and
Mrs. Thurman spent the day here

need the support of every business
man Of Lee county, and. her citizens
should take The Journal as you are
putting forth all your energies and
many to make it a I've paper. Sue
you.
Now, Mr.. Editor. Iwant to say
a few words to our county Commits
sioners before closing this letter.
And that is this: notIcedlast week
an article from Judge Hart which
he said that this was notmore than
seventh of the taxable property re-
turned in Georgia for taxation. This
is a shame. The last. legislature
passed a law creating board of tax
assessors for each county in Georgia
and what / wished to say to our
commissioners is that they appoint
three tax assessors for Lee county
that has the courage of their con-
vjctions and backbone to stand up
to them and see that everv individ-
ual white and co'ored, and every
corporation return its property at
the proper valuation or put it there
themselves and stick toit. Should
/ this law be carried out to the letter
in every county in Georgia, in 8 or
A years the state and counties will
be out of debt and there viii be no
need 20 borrow money to keep our
counties and public buildings and
roads up. I hope to see this law
carried out to the letter.
Yours truly,

A Farm Demonstration Agent
Is Assured for Lee County
Assurance is given that farm demonstration agent will be secured for
Lee county in 1914 though only one half time
for the first year


Assurance war given by the work
done here this week by Mr.. J, G.
Oliver, supervisor Of farm demon
stration agents and boys corn
clubs. that Lee county will have
next year farm. demonstration
agent to aid the work Of the county.
Mr.. Oliver addressed mass meet
ing Of farmers here, at which more
than bali Of the $3.50 needed was
pledged. Later all of it was pledged,
and it is now certain that Lee
county will have farm demon
stration agent for half time this
year.
Mr.. Oliver made brief talk to
the farmers and citizens of the
county at the noon recess on Thurs
day, after which . subscription for
the purpose was begun. The re-
sponses we're good, and many adj
ditional pledges were received later,
showing the vide interest aroused
here in the work. Lee county I'M
der Encouragement contemplated, !
will have The agent half Of the time
during ten months of the year,
while Terrell win have the agents
services the remaining time. Tn
this manner the cost of the agent
will Sc greatly reduced, as Others
wise It would cost Lee county $500
to secure an agent for his entire
tins. The United States govern
ment makes out the other half of
the amountsof 81 900 that Is need
ed to pay the agent s salary q year.
The successful conclusion sof the
plan to raise the money WAS the
source Of much gratifcation for Mr..
Oliver and many other citizens
who aided directly in ,pledging the
funds needed. It is understood
that the sum Of $3.50 pledged is to
be in the bank here, or vouched for
by some citizen a financial stand
ing, by January /, in order 10 Sc
cure the aid ofthe federal govern
ment in the work. The farm
demonstration work in Lee county
should, therefore, soon be put on a.
firm basis. It is hoped now that
after next year the entire time Of
an agent may be secured.

Lee County offers wonderful

County in Georgia, or in the entire
Southeast. It's fertile, loans sOsI
long stretches Of well drained, level
lands and healthful climate are
compelled to attract the new SCI

Bnt it takes more than natural
advantages to build communities.
1t takes wide-awake, progressive,
concerted, public spirited efforts
of the citizens Of the community to-
attract outside people.
Lee County prides itself on hay
ing no bonded Indebtedness. This
would indeed be matter Of which
to boast if she had good roads,
schools and other improvements
needed. But for County to fall
behind the surrounding Counties in
the race for supremacy simply be-
cause it does not want to borrow
money, is very great shortsighted-
ness. Other Counties are borrow
ing money.to improve their roads.
and if Lee County does not do it,
it is sure to lose settlers who other
wise would come here.
The Central of Georgia Farm
Settlement is being held hack in It's
development because the roads
which were promised have not
been built. This is a serious handi-
cap to those who are attempting to
develop this tract and unless some
thing is done, it is very likely the

means that others who are watch
