Where’s the Remedy ?
It is well known y our readers
that in 1879 the taxes levied by the
County Commissioners failed to
defray the current expenses of the
county for that year. At the
April term of the Superior Court
of that year, the Grand Jury l’ec
otnmendea an assessment of seveu
ty..five per centum of the State tux
mfiluntr, as they supposed an in
.
cr case over thejprevious year, when
the eoumy tax had been seventy
per cent, of Wial levied by tbe
Stale. Bat subsequent to the ad
journment of the Grand Jury and
... j -a
the Lesfislai ure assembled ahd re
dotted ihe assessment of the pre¬
vious year thirty per cent. This
made a correspondin'; and urn x
peeled reduction in the county tax,
which was not distiove ed until too
late to bv remedied. J has 'he rev
enues'Wei e made inadequate to the
expenses. In 1880, ns show n by
die report of the last Grand J^ry.
the taxes
in excess of the ejfffcnses fot the
year, tinder tbe largest lux Possible
ll n d e r the cotlSiituHon, and the old
debt was reduced to tins extent.
These a* e the well known reasons
for our being; in debt, but lioW we
arc to get out, or bow much we
owe, are the perplexing questions
Last year the Commissioners, with
eoumy scrip never lower than 90.
and much of the time at par, were
only able, by the closest economy,
io reduce the eoumy debt $75 —
less than 10 per cell'., according to
die guerses of the best informed.
But this year the problem is how
•o do even this much, with county
-cup hard sale at 80 cents on the
dollar. There is no good reason
why scii|> issued at tliis date, which
i-> sure to ho paid this winter,

INDEPENDENf DEMOCRATIC NEWSPAPER.
HAMILTON, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1881.
Improvement Xeeded.
Notwithstanding the graCt improve
meats in the mrii facilities of the couhty,
during the part few years, there are a f ew
changes needed that will iuiprove our
service wonderfully. What we need most
and above .U, is a mail route agedt on
the Columbus & Earns IUilroad, to dis
tribute the mail along the route. It is
only three miles from Hamilton to Kings
boro, yet ft letter mailed hare must go td
Columbus, before reaching its destina
tion. A letter from Hamilton to Hood
travels nearly sixty miles, making an all
aSy trip, wtren an agent on the road
would assure its delivery in a_ few min¬
utes. Such an agent would releiva the
Columbus office of muoh work, and many
mistakes which afe made almost of ne¬
cessity in that office wonld be avoided.
The establishment cf H mail roule from
Ellerslie to TulbottoD, announced in the
J.uRNAL of last week, suggests a charge
that would be acceptable to all concern¬
ed. By extending this route to Dataula,
and making it tri-weekly, the route from
E lerslie to Columbus might be dispensed
with, as our corresprudent suggests,
wou ]j | cave an easy route then from
Ellerslie t^ Bhiloh, via Waverly Hall,
which consid#fipg,;the populous aed in¬
t«aiigerit^tioh through wbioh it passes
as sooft a8 p03ni bi e . It would greatly fac
the delivery of mail matter to oiti¬
zms of the eastern part of tbe oounty,
whose intelligence and general coladitiou
entitle them to greater consideration.
The change of route from here to La
Grange, making Hood tbe terminus in¬
stead of Hamibon, will work a hardship
on many, unless we can have a route
agent. With an agent on the road, the
change will prove acceptable to all.
