WE GOT IT, TOO
The editor of the Tifton Gazette
dared to write his vrotest the other
day against the persistent effort of
Solicitor General Boykin to try his
cases in the newspapers—to tell thel
punlic in advance just what he cx-l
pected to do in running down those
guilty of crime in his bailawick. The
editor of the Americus Times Re
‘corder criticised the Tifton editor and
did what he could to lay it on the

real ¢timinald. 1t is ‘our concern be
‘cause Georgians at large have to suf
fer for the crime thal is committed
iy Atlanta as well as in other sections
of the state. We enter our protest,
tco. Mr. Boykin oug'it to be busy
running down the c¢riminals-—and he
ought not to publisih in the newspa
pers ahead of time what move next
he intends to make. That's notice
to the criminal in time for dodging.
It makes it impossible to apprehend,
the guilty. Ncte Mr. Boykin’s suc

~ WHAT AND WHERE IS THE
l MASON AND DIXON LINE? |
The term is familiar to all of us,
states The Mentor, but when we
ceme to define it few of us know cx
| actly of what it was the boundary.
When America was settled the greo
graphical knowledge of this countrv
L was limited, therefore the maps were
l imperlfect, but tllis‘did not ainder
‘ the kings of England from prodig iy
granting tractz of land in the NMow
World without any definite idea of
their extent. Because of this roval
disregard of facts it took over a hun
‘ dred years for some of the colon ¢g
(o sottle their beundary disputec-——
! and the fortieth degree north Jati
, tude furnished the prize contention.
i Cecilius Calvert. _Lord Baltimore,
| had been granted all territory ex--
tending under the fortieth degrec
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
north latitude “where New Englard !
terminates.” Later a tract of l.;ndl
was given to William Penn, ‘.hc!
southern boundary of which was tn’
be a ‘“circle drawn at twelve miles
distant from New Castle northward
and westward unto the beginning of
the forticth degree of north lati- |
tude.” ‘
Now a degree of latitude, instcad
of being a straight line wituout
width, is really a band of some six
ty miles in width, so that the deter
mination of a gree will change the
boundary of a state and trasfer an
immense amount of territory.
It was the determination of this
degree of latitude that gave rise to |
all the trouble that followed. Vari-xusi
nationalities, men of all ranks :md‘
degrees, as well as religious belivfs
were embroiled in the controve‘::'_\',l
and the contested ground became the l
gcene of invasion, riot and even mur- i
der,
Out of this turmoil arose the Mascn
and Dixon Line. It started as a
tangible boundary between two
I provinces, but eventually became an
| intangible division both of ideas and
politics between the inhabitants of
two states, and finally of two por
tions. of the United States, untii its |
“geographical location became l:.st“
in its political significance and men,
cared little, when they referredwtol
it, where it ran or what was iis
history.” ' : \ (
Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon
‘were brought over from England w 0
survey the boundary of the provinces
in 1763. They began their curvey in
December of that year and ended
their work about Christmasz time
four vears later. This survey crst
fully $75,000. How much more was
spent in lawyers’ fees, the gather.
ing of testimony, prosecution of tres
passers, and worry will never Lo
known. ,
