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$ *fi»r an expert aeeonntanf had‘ex amined the county's books so en<-v was made In the tax collects -Vs count: "Apparent shortage, Tbe amount due In addition to the (toil alleged shortage In J ,N. n’s account waa 99,900, It was gged.

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 TOID WATSON WAS TOO III 10 MAK THE TRIP He is Suffering from a Re currence of Ptomaine PS* son and is Quite 111' ^ 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. Judge L. E. Lastlnger. of Adel, came down yesterday and Is spend- 91- jug a day or two ha£9. % 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. , L. R. M’ARTHUR. R. F. D No. !..
