the pavilion of McFadden & Raven
and before the arrival of tho life
saver employed by the Hotel Tybee

Had there been a life aaver at the
lower pavilion and an adequate

possible to have saved the drowning

GIBSON CASE APPEALED.
Former Tax Collector of Brooks
County Gave Bond of *5,000.
(From Monday's Dally.)
Frank L. Gibson, who was con
victed at Qnltmnn last* Saturday
morning of being abort In hie ac
counts with the county and who waa
sentenced to a year on the chain
gang by Judge Thomas, haa filed a
motion' ror a new trial smd hla bond
was fixed at $9,000. The fallowing
statement In regard to Mr. Olbeon’a
shortage was cent out from Quit-
man by the correspondent of the
dally papers than:
The apparent shortage In former
Tax Collector Glbson'e accounts first
became known In 1110 and many ef
forts have been made by the bonda-
mcn and various Interested parties
to get the eai* settled ont of court.
F. L. Gibson was elected tax col
lector in the sprtsfc of 1$ 10 to fill
the nnexplrcd term of his fatbei
J. N. Gibson, deceased, for the yen
1909-10. ft appeared In the evldem
that he found a shortage exist!
when he took charge of the office
approximately $4,100 due to t]
state of the taxes of 190$. It a]
pears that the taxes be collected
1909 were partly applied to r«»o'
this shortage. At the end of 101$

amined the county's books so en<-v

1 In addition to nalng taxes col-
during hla term ot office to
hla father’s allegsd shortage,
misappropriated other funds to
) own use. The bondsmen whose
iMdenee figured prominently In the
case' are B. 8. Gaulden, D. T. Clyatt,
R A Burgeaa, J. A. Webb and Mrs.
vr A. Davis of Atlanta, for her hus
band, W. A. Davis, deceased. All of
them paid abont 91.900 each to
mike tbe deficit except J. A. Webb.
He hae been fighting payment and
the Supreme Court recently ruled
that the sheriff'has a right to levy
on hla land to obtain payment.
Mr. Gibson Is a young man and
ipparently had very little business
Hence when he assumed the du.
lea of this office, though he made It
tear to hla bondsmen, according to
heir’evidence, that he waa very fa
miliar with the work of the office
through helping hla father. The
office pays something over 91,900 a
year and the work consumes oaly
about four month). The total amount
of public funds handled by the tax
collector here ta $90,000 a year.
He Makes a Strong Appeal to
the Voters in Behalf of
the Measure
Mr. Editor: Believing that you
arc willing to express the views of
your readers on the various ques
tions which are of Interest to them,
I beg space to briefly express my
Ideas on the question of stock law.
First, it la based on the principle
jot right; second, |t la advantageous
Iron! a business standpoint, and
third. It la bound to come sooner or
later, either by lo;al option or state
legislation.
Let ns look at it rrom the stand
point, of right, laying aside selfish,
nosa and prejudice and elearly dis
tinguishing between cbarlty and
business. Whsn onr forefathers on.
tered these forests which stood
where our fields now stand) they
deemed themselves fortunate when
they bad cleared and fencad a small
patch and had eonatructed a crude
log cabin to shelter themselves from
th e ravages of wild beaata.
But an civilization advanced and
population Increased, vast areas
were cleared, the open laud far ex
ceeded the woodland; In time, pas-
turag,, an Item and fencing
became a heavy tax..
Then our property owner! natur
ally) sought relief and many of onr
more advanced counties have found
It In stock law and have promptly
entered It upon the statute book).
All gTeat reforms have met with
cppcsltlon at the beginning, and the
fact that this election is opposed,
does not prove that tbe law la not
right and good from a hnslneee
standpoint and that It will not come
or later. Opposition arises
from Ignorsn-e of the ben
efit* di-Hv ! C.nm tbe tier la a and
Meanwhile, ChalwW »'»»«ra'ed. I : a lU/I-c-
currence recited by eat \\S r ouf
progressive citizens recently. H»
raid that two little kneeldress gins
were eseorted from a plcnlo table
to the well, Juat after dinner, by a
young man. When he hed waited
on them and poured water for them
to bathe their hands he disappear
ed, and ons of the tittle girls turn'
ed to the ether and aald: "That
nearly scared me to death; I Oarer
walked with a yonng man before.'
The other girl replied, ‘‘Oh, I’m
used to that I Ilk# It”
Now, our opponents ara pleading
"the poor man’e cause," making the
point that !f he le deprived of priv
ileges which he now enjoys, he will
greatly suffer; also that the ranter
and half cropper would hare to be
provided. Now, there are lands In
this county suitable for pastures, so
’ct the land owner consider thla and
prepare pasturage for his rentere,
thereby encouraging a better class
of croppers and Increasing the value
of hla real estate.
Land which In a real estate doe!
Is i)ow looked upon as worthless,
would, under the new law, be glren
a specific valne as pasture land,
thereby causing an advance In real
estate an a whole.
I grant that there are come to
whom the new law seems unproflta-
tle, hut they can hardly call It un-
Juit. When we hare settled under
new law each man can own
•lock In proportion to hla land, end
we will have that reeling of Inde
pendence and self-respect which
comes from each tub standing on Its
own bottom, so to apeak. Then those
fortunate among us who can lay
aside all consideration of eolf and
work for their less fortunate broth
er, can work with system and help

Atlanta, Qe., June $4.—It seem*
the Irony of fate that after winning
a losing fight against odds and
forcing the democracy of Gesrgla t to
recognize hfan as a leader and send
him. to the BalUmore convention that
Thomas E, Watson ot Thomson
should be prevented from going to
the great democratic gathering by an
unexpected lltnese.
When word came Ute yesterday
that Mr. Watson had remained at
home, his enemies began Immediate
ly to circulate reports that It was
because of hls recent indictment by
the federal government for sending
Improper matter through tbe malls.
But Atlantlans who are closest to Mr.
Watson are authority for the state
ment that he Is suffering Intensely
from a recurrence of an attack ot
ptomaine poisoning and that nothing
bnt this attack prevented him from
starting with the delegation. ,
He entertains some slight hope of
going to Baltimore later In the week,
but feels that the etrong probability
la he will not get to the convention
at all.

the one who needs help without be
ing forced to support hordes of
stock belonging to men who ere, or
ought to be able to support what
they own.
Every man, then, will be fencing
and controlling his own stock. The
law will result in the possession of
better and healthier stock under
proper control, and perhaps we will
In time be able to supply our homo
markets with the dairy products and
foodstuffs which now come from
those states where the Taw is in
force.
TTntior existing enoditiong a man
might try to Improve/hla atopk and
might use precautionary mosaures
against the spread of disease, and
hare hls labor corns to naught by
tha slack or carolwm management
of another.
Under stock lair, my father Im
proved such stock at bo had, and
for a period of olxtaon yearn bo did
not have a single bog to die of dis
ease./ Up to that time, cholera bad
prevailed at Intervals ot throe years
or loco.
I do not claim that It will do
awoy with cholera entirely, but It
will enable farmers to grepplo .with
It on e bettor basis.
The prosperity of thoas eonntlcs
which hare adopted tha law Ishoun-
dant proof that It le good. Bod*
of us will oppose it with might and
main, refuting to wo anything good
In It, but the bettor plan le to study
Its advantages and qnlstly prepare
for It, as tt la coming sooner or 1
later.
I speak confidently, for “coming 1
event* cast? their shadows before" ■-
I sea tho shadows which promise a
glorious future fqr onr county. Are 1
not our parents educating their ions
and daughter!? Art not onr schools
being slow.y bnt surely improved?
Why not legislate, then, for those
other Improvements?
Pardon the length of my ramorks,
hut believe mo when I say that I am
sincere In my heller. Personally,
tho enactment ot the law would
work a hardship, but I apeak for
the good of tho people In yeara to
come. When we are ready for It
the law will come, and I think the
sooner the better. ,
