MAKE A JOKE
OF LUMBER Pile
in Smith YARD

tin J.. smith a member of the court
worried for time yesterday Afternoon
by Joke they played on him lie didn't
know IL was a Joke for awhiie. but all
the other members did Nir. Burris,
arising from his seat, inquired from the
court clerk about check for old lumber
of Eleventh street bridge that had been
sold. Mr.. Gooding ia an instant was
on bis feet and inquired aoout some
other lumber.
Mr.. President said the Second dis
trict member. that reminds me, too. of
a lumber matter. Last week when we
were going TO Camp Macdonough we
stopped at the home of Alr. Smith. After
being highly entertained I saw a pile of
bridge planks, telephone poles and other
lumber Has that lumber been soldg"
Mr. FouTacre solemnly ana seriously
said he felt it was unfair to take ad,an-
tage of Mr. Smith in open court. lie
believed the member from the Fifth dis
trict should have been consulted pri-
yatelv about Tire lumber
Mr. Hollngsworth suggested visiting
the scene TO inspect the lumber
Mr. Smith informed the members
that he had the lumber hauled to his
yard and from time to time supplied
some Of it to the road supervisors.
When it is all used the court will
learn Of the saving to the county,
| he said.
President Groves said that the
members Of the Levy Court we're un-
grateful. They saw the Smith pro-
perty. and we're treated TO cigars and
refreshments and then went around
spying about old lumber. he said.
Mr., Smith by this time discovered
it was all joke and then he Joined
the rest OF the members in a good
laugh at his own expense.
