Of COLONIZATION

Himself About Road
Work
BURRIS THINKS WELL
OF THE LEVY COURT

Following their business session
yesterday afternoon, members of the !
Levy Court indulged in a free-for-all /
discussion of Commissioner Smiths /
charge that negroes had been colon
lied in his district for partisan pur
poses. while working on roads.
Mr.. Smith, as he had stated at the
meeting of the Court in the morning.
declared he had not used the word
"oolonized." He said he never made
a positive statement, unless he had the
facts 10 back up his assertion, and In
this case he had not been sure that
the negroes had been brought into
his district for colonization purposes.
Both Commissioners Gooding and
Groves, who were present at the meet
Ing last week when Mr. Smith made
the statement about the negroes. de-
clared that they were positive that
Mr. Smith had used the word col
onized.' Mr.. Smith did not continue
the argument.
A mistake in these columns yes
terday made Il appear that Il was
Mr. Smith who had praised County
Engineer Wilson II should have
been Mr.. Scott. who came TO the de-
fense OF the county engineer after
the attacks made upon him by Mr.
Smith yesterday morning. During the
discussion after the meeting yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Smith took oc-
casion to voice his regret that he
/ had made any statements rejecting
upon Mr.. Wilson at the morning ses-
| sion. and he agreed with Mr.. Scott
/ that the county engineer IS a highly
efficient Official.
Before leaving the court room
Commissioner Burris stated Glat the
newspapers, for some reason which
he could not understand. had made
Il their particular business to watch
closely the Levy Court and to criti-
else every action made by that body
Mr. Burris affirmed that he has
been familiar with the Levy Courts
and their work for the past sixteen
years. and he could safely-sa that
the present Levy Court Is the first
I'm that time that has not permitted
itself In any way TO be dominated b,
