Three Commissioners Favor
A Change in The Management
ACCORDING TO MR. j. NJ HINES. COMMISSIONERS LOWELL
LARAMORE, AND STOCKS FAVOR ECONOMY IN EXPENDI-
TUREs AND CHOICE OF COMMISSIONERS BY
GRAND JURY.
GRAND JURY.

According to Mr.. J. Nj. Hines,
who has another live and interest
ing card in this issue Of The jour
nal, three of the county commits
.sionels OF Lee county. Messrs. A. J.
Powell, E. j. Stocks and w. G..
Laramore, favor the choice Of coun-
ty commissioners by the grand jury,
economy in the expenses OF the
county's road gang and the publica-
ton of the minutes Of the commits
sioners regularly in The Journal.
Mr.. Hines, who has been especi-
ally active in placing the facts corr
corning the present condition Of the
county before the people, discusses
thoroughly the various details Of the
matter and suggests anew the RENEE
dy of issuing bonds Mr.. Hines
card, which is a most timely one and
which is appreciated by The Jour
nal and the people Of Lee county,
is as follows:
Since writing my last card, I have
talked with three OF our commits
sioners to-wit: w. C. Laramore, T..
j. Stocks and A. j. Powell, and each
one Of them fully agreed with me as
to the election Of our commissioners
by the grand jlry, and at same time
making three instead Of five. Each
Eone Of them stated that they wanted
our representative to pass the bill
at the xtsession Of the Legislature
changing the present law and pass
ling the above mentioned one. They
also stated that they would sign a
petition asking Representative r.
[B. Lee to pass the bill. They fur
ther stated that they we're willing to
haye the minutes or proceedings Of
each commissioners meeting pub
lished and were willing to accept
the liberal offer of The Jouanal to
n
publish the minutes during the
balance Of tie year free. aud as Mr..
la J Powell then stated to pay for
the next year asThe Journal offered
70 do for $50 per year.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1913-04-24

fully agree with them that this
should be done, as the taxpayers
are entitled to know how this money
is being spent and for what. Two
Of the commissioners also stated to
me that our biggest trouble and lar
gcst expense was our road fund, and
they both said that this should be
looked into carefully and see if it
could not be cut down. They also
said that they fully agreed with me
and Mr. r R Forester that the best
way was to issue bonds and pay up
our debts, but they were opposed to
bonds just at this time as this should
be some changes before this il done
and | fully agreed with them. Now
let everybody get together and see
the Hon. E B Lee and have him
change our made OF electing com
missioners and thereby get the Of
flee of commissioners out Of politics.
Now while we are in debt, hope
to see our commissioners al their
next meeting get together and ac-
cept Mr. Lanier's offer Of furnishing
our county rations and such other
things we need and take the money
that is to be collected and thit fall
taxes and pay our debts. Then, ii
necessary, borrow money and pay
what we lack or issue bonds and get
straight once more.
Every one / have talked to GER
tainly appreciated the manly letter
Commissioner Powell wrote. thad
the right ring and certainly met the
approval of his many friends. In
conclusion, let me say that not one
word | have written is intended to
! hurt any ones feelings, but let's all
/, get together and pull for the uD-
building Of Lee county and not let
up until we stand at the head Of the
list. Yours truly,

CHASED BY THIS NEWLY ORGANIZED L0cALCONCERN,
WHICH WILL BE READY FOR THE NEXT GINNING
SEASON HERE

A complete equipment Of the most
modern machinery has been secured
by the newly organized Farmers
Ginning Company, and it is expec-
led that work On the building for
the new plant will begin at an early
date.
This is one Of the most notable
industrial improvements in Lee

to the prestige Of Lee county in the
way Of caring for its own farmers

ducts. This will make the third

The petition for charter for the
new corporation has already been
advertised in the columns Of The
Journal, and this charter has been
secured. There is nothing remain
ing to be done now relative to the
securing Of the new plant but the
construction Of the building, and
the installation Of the new equip
ment, which has been made ample
for all needs.
Several sites for the new plant
have been considered, but none has!
been definitely decided upon yet.
fAs soon as the site has been selected
and the contradiction the construe'
ton Of the building, the work upon
the construction Of the plant Will
begin ut once. This will mike it |
possible for the plant to be ready for
operation when the next season
opens in the fall
The Farmers Ginning Company
is composed Of some Of the most
representative and aggressive busi
ness men Of Lee county. They saw
the need Of an additional ginning
plant here, and they have organized
for the purpose Of seeing that this
need is supplied this fall Though
each one Of the two plants already
here have done capacity business

ORruly Negro Injured
MI. FouChe Tuesday
Negro Was Shot While Resisting Arrest.


While resisting arrest, General
Jackson, negro, was shot and in-
iured by Mr.. B. E. Fouche, afterthe
negro had seriously cut Barney's
brother, Mr.. Walter Fouche, on the
arm and chest Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. Touches injuries are very
painful, though not considered seri-
Gus. The nes no 5 condition was re-.
ported here last night, as pretty
serious, although not necessarily
fatal. Three bullets struck the
negro, who has q bad reputation.
The cause Of the trouble is given
as the unruly manner in which the
negro acted while in I'M alteration
with Pitt Martin, oyerseer, on the
Al. Harris place, where the negro
worked. The negro gave Mr.. Mar
tin so much trouble and acted in
such an ugly mannerthata warrant
was sworn out for him.
Deputy Sheriff Richards and Mr..
Fouche went out to the Harris place
in Mr.. B. E. Touches auto 10 ar
rest the negro and found him still
in an ugly mood. Not wishing to
iniure the negro in making him a
prisoner, Deputy Richards and Mr.
Fouche proceeded cautiously. The
negro, however, became desperate
and slashed at Mr.. Fouche several
times, cutting him badly on the
arm and chest. Then Mr.. Pouches. i
brother. Barney, at once shot the
negro while the latter was resisting
arrest.
Mr.. Walter Fouche has host OF
friends here who are indignant st
the conduct Of the negro in resist
ing arrest and iniuring him. The
fact that the negro was seriously hurt
probably kept him from being sum
marily dealt with otherwise.
AS we go to press, it is reported |
that the negro is still alive after the /
local doctors had dressed up the
wounds.
