Why Neglect Our
Court House Grounds!

Three sets of County Commits
sioners have been in Office since
we moved to Leesburg, and the
attention of all of them has been
called to the condition of the
grounds around our handsome
new court house. Here we have
a $50, 900 building which would
be a credit to any town-but
look at the grounds upon which
it is located. You can search
the state over and you will not
find such looking grounds as sur
round the Court House here. 1t
is really nrt the duty of anyone
to have to call the attention OF
the commissioners to this as it is
an ALLEGATION that every man
makes when he asks for office to
look after the county's best in
terest. The Commissioners can
do this work at a very small cost
and with just a little time of the
convict gang-are you going to
do it?

In Charge to Grand Jury
Judge Thomas Calls At
tention To Custom.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Judge w. K
Thomas, OF Valdosta, presiding il
Fulton superior court, today urgeC
the grand jury to investigate thor
oughly all cases that are brought be-
fore them and to do all in thei!
power to enforce the laws.
THE price OF good government il
the enforcement OF its laws" Judge
Thomas said.
L am informed that in many
counties OF the state the taxes al
this time being levied for state,
county and municipal purposes ag.
gregate from 35 to so mills. II
must be remembered that Of this
amount only five mills go to ihe
state for government purposes, the
remaining assessments being taken
over by the county and municipal
authorities.
II am informed that patriotic
citizens IN different localities are
lodging vehement protests as to what
they regard as unlawful and exces-
sive taxation by county and MUM
cipal authorities. In this connection
it is pointed out that tax moneys
held in trust by such authorities
are wasted and unlaw:ully expended.
That such funds are unlawfully
applied to unauthorized purposes,
that sinking funds to redeem bond
ed indebtness are wilfully and de.
liberately misspent and that public
tax funds so held in trust are do
mated to various unauthorized pur-
poses and thus generally unlawfully
applied.
I declare TO you that county and
municipal officers are trustees per
mitted by law to hold such funds in
trust to be applied for the use and
benefit Of the people who yield up
such funds in taxation and to be
expended only and exactly asth-l w
provides. Any misappropriation or
donation Of public funds held in
trust in taxation is a violation Of the
law and a crime against confding
people,

Central Compares
Earnings With
Other Industries

While the railways in the
Southern group have in recent
years been earning an average
of less than 4 per cent other in
dustries have averaged from IL
to 20 per cent, according to fig
ures quoted by President Win
burn, of the Central Of Georgia
Railway. Information upon re-
ports of the Federal Trade Com
mission illustrates the difference
between conditions that govern
the railways and those under
which other industries are per-
mitted to function.
1t is pointed out that there is
no guarantee of a return of 6
per cent on railway stocks and
bonds and that the railways
have never even Appropriated
the rate of return fixed by the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, but from year to year have
had to pocket their losses.
Mr.. Winburn argues that
transportation is an essential
factor of business and that if the
railways are to function in the
interest of the public they must
be allowed to earn and retain a
rate of return which will enable
them to obtain funds to meet the
increasing demands of commerce.
This cannot be done, however.
if restrictive policies are carried
to greater extremes.
Mr.. Winburn states that the
Central of Georgia asks only the
same treatment that is accorded
industries generally, without
futher impairment and limitation
of earning power through rate
reductions and adverse legisla-
tior.

at a meeting of pecan and peanut
growers in Albany recently he
agreed to lend the Association if
organized, the sum of SIS, 900. He
knows the value of CO. cooperative
marketing and will do all in his
power to get the farmers organ
lied
We are proud that we can
claim such a man as a land own
er and Citizen" of our county,
and hope that at some future
date to have him come and live
with US.
