Lack of Official Duty.
Editor New Era :
As staled in your columns of
last week we are still of the opin
ion that a greater portion of law
lessness in this country is brought
about by a lack of official duty.
The parties which we wrote
about last week having commit
ted the robbery act got out of
their scrape without ever being
carried before the officer or any
officer authorized to hear the
cause. That case of robbery was
settled on Saturday, October the
10th, in the office of the sheriff
of- this county. Mr. Cain, the
prosecutor in that case tells me
that the cost was paid by the
parties charged with the offense,
and the property of which he
was robbed was returned to him.
Well, proving what we have said,
this party who '„was released on
the 10th of October, went down
to Adams’ camp and on the 18th
stabbed another party in the
breast, cutting into Ins lungs,
through which stab, the party at
the present writing is breathing
about as much as through his
proper breathing organs.
The robber and the would be
muderer has fled the country and
is no longer to be found.
So much at present on the un
official act. More anon.
1 believe, Mr. Editor, that an
election has been called to put
to a vote in this county as to
whether we are to have good
roads, or to continue witli the
bad ones we already have.
There are some things which
we cannot measure in dollars and
cents. This question of good
roadi is one of them. I don’t see
why we allow ourselves to be
taxed for the purpose of build
ing court houses for the various
counties of this state, to the co«t
in each instance, to the amount
of thousands of dollars, and then
complain when it comes to the
investment of an equal amount
in the public roads of the coun
ty.
In the one instance, the im
provement is not used except
about one month in the year for
the public, the eleven months so
far as the entire public is concern
ed are vacant months. But with
whatever improvements are put
on the public roads, the matter
is entirely diferent. There should
be no clash between good roads
and good schools. Every county
in Georgia wants good roads, and
before either schools or churches
can be reached with pleasure
and ease we have got to have
good roads. Before crops can be
hauled to market, and before
there can be any profitable in
dustry at all, or even social life,
there must be means of commu-
cation. The loss to the farmers
of Georgia for the lack of good
roads is million of dollars annu
ally. If farms cau be developed
in this way, property improved
and transportation made easier,
the advanced value will justify
good schools in every community
in the whole country. One im
provement necessarily brings an
other, and no improvement
would add half so much to a peo
ple as good roads in the same
length of time.
Hereafter, Mr. Editor, please
sign, instead of ‘“Capitol.”
