Brother Thomas has put himself

board of supervisors that if they
graded the Thomas hill on the old
Pickensville road that he would sue
them and if they accepted the new
road that he would sue them. His

an impossible attitude"
Now, here is what the Reverend

u. z. THOMAS, for Sisetrs.'
The Thomases had been told by
officials that if the hill was graded
to meet the demands OF the en-
gineers. presumptively U. S. en-
gineers, that the top OF an automo-
bile could not be seen from the resi-
dence while it was passing over the
top of the hill. What an outrage
on the rights and feelings of these
ladies'
The Dispatch stated that Beyond
the hill' there was a deep depres-
sion which initiates against the best
road construction" Now, had the
paper known the facts as ! do from
measure 1t would probably have said
this ION the new road there is a
depression that is sixty per cent.
greater than the one that public
opinion opposes that is on the old
road" This is a difference due to
positive knowledge This paper
caught the grape vine public opin-
ion that was generally accepted.
The Thomases opposed the en-
gineer cutting the turnout, or APP
proach. to the front of their resi-
dence five feet deeper. or giving
them a grade from the Pickensville
road to their front gate of about
10 per cent. A plain obtrusion on
the rights of these people
Look this fact fairly in the face:
II the "clay-gravel' of the Thomas
hill was good enough to be used

not good enough to be used right
