Believing that ii will be Impossible .
for you to live till Police Jury meets
without Knowing how | stand on read ,
bonds. etc.. will tell you enough tn .
sustain life till the 9TH Of July. You |
are respectfully invited to he present
and get all the dope fresh from the !
rect. speak for and Of my ward. and |
| believe what ! say will be applicable
TO the other SiX-livr anyway. pro
pose to do all | can and as soon as |
| can to have work started on Ward |
IS part Of Dixie Highway, by aid ami |
under the supervision of the state !
Highway Department. Our money i'll |
Tennessee, theirs in Washington, if |
Congress makes the appropriation. Mr. !
BuicS word for it. This is the only |
road in BicnviIc that he is interested |
in. As to the balance Of Ward rs |
prorata: "Sink or swim; live or die: |
survive or perish" propose to fight TO
the last ditch to build road from Gibbs
land to Bryccland Or southern conncr- |
ton Mr.. Began has applied to High |
way Department to take charge of !
road in his ward. lie, Began. furnish ,
ing all the money if this works. Then
that proposition is solved if not you
will have to wait until we meet. |
propose to put all my local funds on
roads for the benefit of people, not get
ting anything out Of this bond issue
These are my plans. If they don't |
suit the people that elected me- all
they have to do is to have one Of your
"Rare-up' meetings and say 50, and /
will step down and out with thanks
| should have stated above in conncr
ton with the Dixie Highway. Mr.. j.
$. Williams was to correspond with !,
Caldwell 4 Co.. regarding their putting
enough money in Louisiana to fill the :
requirements on this road. | know |
nothing personally about law suits and
| am going to resort to any and every |
honorable means to avoid one both in !
lividually and officially, when it's the
last resort | will go to it. Then my |
prediction is, Wilson nor Thmmond
will either one have anything 10 do
with. Did | heard someone say, $50 |
mote it be-
Some personal Slurs and false state
mcntS intended to take up. For the
present will say like The fellow that |
was kicked by the mules father, Just
consider the source" and ! am frank |
ito say, Mr.. Cook, | don't believe You
are the author of half you have had
to say. In conclusion, my private "pin-
ion expressed publicly. This Police !
Jury is going to do mighty little and
be very careful how they do that until |
the Injunction is settled and we know
who's who and what's what. We Ger
tainly don't want to do anything that
would "scemingly be in violation If
the injunction.
If this much will sustain life till
we meet then | will be fully repaid. |
Should you find a small diamond i'll
this scribblc representing truth and
light, if you see fit dip it in a pct Of
ink and exhibit it as stone coal.
J. H.THURMNND.
The Democrat is glad to note the
| favorable attitude as now expressed
by Mr.. Thurmond regarding the handl-
| inc of the road funds under the High
way Departments supervision. The
above statement from Mr.. Thurmond,
together with the expressions from
three other members of the Police
Jury which are published in this pa
per, encourages US to believe that
when the Police Jury meets on July
9Th that another effort will be made
to obtain State and Federal aid, or to
have roads built under the Supcrvis-
ion of the Highway Department.
Relative to the personal slurs and
false statements referred to by Mr..
Thurmond, we are in the same posi-
ton as the man to whom he referred
as being kicked by the mules father,
and for this reason we merely con
slider the source and 90 ahead, which
is Mr.. Thurmond's advice.
Mr.. Thurmond states that in his
opinion the Police Jury will do mighty
little and be very careful about that
until the injunction is settled in order
