loings ofthe PoIE CoQntY Court in Quarterly
Session Monday.

.
The county court met IN regu-
lar quarterly session Monday
with every one of the twenty
FIVE justices of the peace pres
ent.
The court appropriated $3.50
for the eradication of the hook
worm, but refused to appropriate
any more funds for the eradica
tion of cattle ticks and therefore
discharged the men working for
tick eradication. Both PROPOSE
tions were carried upon the
motion of Esq. N. S. G.. Simonds
who knows nearly as we'll what
to do when Gordon is absent as
he does when the said Gordon
is present. The other 'squires
who have let Gordon influence
their votes heretofore obeyed
the Simonds motion as an
obedient child would obey its
parent, showing Gordon's COM
plete control Of the county court
whether he is present or absent.
The tax rate was fixed at 81. 80
on each $4,000 worth of prop

the location OF a pike road from
D1cktown through the noun
tains to the lower side of the
county was ignored and no
election ordered. Some Duck
town squire intimated that the
signers of the petition might not
be voters. The chairman ruled
that the court had a right to
delay the resolution, but it had
no right to refuse an election.
The contract for building the
Copperhill High School was
awarded to a Copperhill firm.
A resolution was introduced
expressing the sense OF the
county court that the lower route
on the Welmore road should be
as the one intended by
the voters at the pike election
and by the original order of the
county court, and ordering the
pike committee to discontinue
work on the upper route and to
build the lower route; but the
resolution lost by a vote of II
to Is.
The county court failed to set
the compensation of the pike
commission, allowing the com
TO pay itself according
to it's own notions and needs.

Benton Incorporated.

In the old McKamy store (the
Rymer and Clemmer store Of the
eighties) man who lived on
Ocoee river talked rough to the
town marshal, Lauderdale, and
"cussed him out" backing up
his strong words by keeping in
his hand a short, heavy, hickory
walking stick. The crowds be-
came so rough that Sheriff
Hughes left the voting place
long enough to go to his home
and get a big navy pistol, but it
happened that he did not need
to use it.
The cause of these election
day trou ubles all originated from
the corporation officials of Ben
ton having had previous clashes
with the rough country boys.
Lauderdale had previously ar
rested the man from on Ocoee
and had, with the mayor, "sized
his pile and took it. >
Daniel Lillard was one of the
country boys, and he gives US
their view of the corporation
that he helped kill over sixty
years ago. He helped defeat
incorporation in 1912 also. He
Iqavs that the town had two or
three groceries" (saIeolls) and
would furnish the stuff for the
country fellows to "tank up on, !"
then the city marshal would
arrest the countryman and after
learning how much money he
had with him would proceed to
have him tried before the mayor.
The fine would usually about
cover all of the defendants
pocket change.
Mr.. LiIlard says it got so that
the town corporation was kept
up by this pulling the country
fellows and relieving them of
their coin. All the while the
town boys were not pulled. The
among the country
people against the town corpor-
alton became so strong that
finally a lot of the country boys
to put the corporation
officials out of business and to
take charge of the town and do
as they pleased.
On one county election day
these country boys proceeded to
carry out their plans. Each
town otficial-mayor, marshal
and each alderman, was to be
"taken care of" 5Y a certain
picked countryman. Alderman
was the one whom
Mr.. LiIlard was appointed to
watch and take care Of"
The first countrrman that the
town marshal tried to arrest re-
fused to be arrested; the country
boys backed him up and pre-
vented the arrest When Alder
man Whitehead started to aid |
the morshal, Uncle Dan Lillard,
then d strong, active young man
halted him and told him to "just
keep quiet" All the other town
officials were similarly bluffed |
Or oVerawed, so decided that
''discre ion was the better part
Of valor" and subsidized as peace
officers.
1t was no bluff the country
men were attempting - they
meant business, aud only the
backdown of the town authori-
ties prevented their being rough
Iy handled. OF course the
boys "took in the town"
and drank and caroused to their
hearts content.
Mr.. Lillard says ''That was !
