of lime will prevent TO large extent

CLARE SAYS PUBLIC'S
MONEY SQUANDERED
Editor Enterprise, City,

Editor Enterprise, City,
Dear Sir: Familiarity with any sub
Ject makes US indifferent. Taxes have
been collected since people first colon
lzed, SO we are used to it.
From the Federal government to
the Parish Council public money is
squandered and goes into unjust
though usually legal channels, politi-
gal debts are paid with public funds,
this is acknowledged and seems to
be expected. However public officers
are really the servants of the tax pay
ers. While this is true in fact, it
is rarely admitted by men holding
office. They assert that when elected
10 Office they are to be the sole judge
10 follow the dictates of their own
conscience, as you may have noticed
by the action OF our highest official,
Herr Won Hardwick But still ! would
submit that at sinister time like this,
granting all customs and precedents,
II would not be out of place for any
TAX payer to make such recommended
tons to the various officers as would
Send to good management and econ
omy, the suggestion may not always
be practicable or rarely adopted, and
while officers are often arbitrary still
they are also often willing to consider
the people. This is borne out by the
response OF the commissioners in re-
moving half of the thirty inch tiles
where | pointed out they could not be
used and if they have been taken to
a place requiring this size of tile it will
be a saving of $500 to the county,
and | have no doubt it is their inten-
ton to remove the others to the
branch just south and will cut the
hills on each side in, such manner
as will cover these thirty inch tiles
with three feet of dirt, in which case
this generation of tax payers will have
no further cost with this bridge.

FIRST TOBACCO SALE
HELD AT DOUGLAS
WEDNESDAY

Wednesday hundreds Of farmers and
their families from numbers OF South
Georgia counties, headed for Douglas,
where for the first time they were
to witness real tobacco auction,
staged at the new tobacco warehause,
established through the enterprise OF
Douglas lading citizens. Every large
tobacco manufacturer was represent
ed by personal representative at the
sale and the bidding for the more
than a hundred different offerings or
tobacco was quito interesting and
revelation to the hundreds who gath
cred at the warehouse for the occa-
sion. Tobacco is bringing an cxcep-
tionally good price this season and
many farmers who for the first time
have venturcd to plant some of the
weed are making big money on their
investment, the tobacco selling now
at from l2c to Soc per pound.
An intermission for dinner was TAX
en- at noon, when a number of Doug
las society ladies served lunch to their
visitors.
About 10000 pounds Of tobacco
was sold, at an average price of more
than zoe per pound. 1t is estimated
that about million pounds was
grown in the territory and most of it
will be marketed through the Douglas
warehouse in the state. Douglas is to
congratulated upon its enterprisinR
citizens who have made this market
possible this season.
TO show that it is not all work with
the folks in Douglas, Col. Jep Nc
Donald and Mr.. Jake Dorminev took
a number of their friends from Bitz-
gerald out TO the Cracker Club" the
playground of Douglas business men
where they purchased and beautifed
track of woodland, built a club house,

ted the grounds, planned by a land

being gradually developed as the

which is for the free use Of the mem
