The tragic deaths of two teen-age boys In Lawrencevllle,
Georgia has led to a bi-county search by sheriffs from Gwin
nett and Hall counties—not the search for murderers uut the
search for abandoned wells throughout the counties.
Willie (Buddy) Greeson, 14, was just like all other boys
his age. He loved outdoor life and youthful adventures. He en
joyed going into the woods looking for new things. Last week
an abandoned well brought his love for outdoor life to an earthly
end.
While he and his friend Felton (Junior) Avery, 13, were ex
ploring in the woods they came upon an open, dry well, about
30 inches across and 35 feet deep. Buddy went down on a rope
but was overcome by gas fumes and never saw light again.
The younger boy ran for help and returned with his older
brother, Billy Avery, 16. Belly went into the well. He too was
overcome with gas before he could tie the rope around his friend.
The people of Hall and Gwinnett counties were too late in their
drive to save the youthful lives of Buddy Greenson and Billy
Avery. Today they have declared war on dangerous open wells.
With the eoopeeation of the sherriff departments, fire depart
ments, forest units, soil conservationists, and farmers, other
well still existing will be found and destroyed.
Often it seems necessary for death to come into our lives to
awaken us of the dangers that are all about us.
It would be a wonderful project in our county if local de
partments would declare war on abandoned wells—caves and
refrigerators could well be includedl
Let’s not wait until tragedy hits at homel The people of Gwin
nett county were too late to save the lives of Buddy Greeson
and Billy Avery. Let us act quickly in helping our youth con
tinue to grow.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PEOPLE OF TAYLOR
COUNTY FROM A MARVIN GRIFFIN SUPPORTER
Athens, Georgia
August 1, 1962
Mr. Charlie Evans, Chairman
Marvin Griffin for Governor Club
Athens, Georgia
Dear Charlie:
I heard over the radio this morning that Marvin Griffin
will be here in Athens on August 28th for a big speaking
and barbecue rally.
I have a nice pig named ‘Rastus Ralph’ that I have been
keeping on a diet of watermelons, collards, com, buttermilk
and the like.
Come speaking time. I expert ‘Rastus Ralph' to weigh
somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 pounds, which should
dress out to be a fine piece of meat. I want to take this
opportunity to give him to Marvin for the barbecue.
I want to save certain parts of ‘Rastus Ralph’ for oth
er folks, however. Send the chitterlings to Ernest Vandi
ver, because if anybody needed some guts, he does. Send
the ears to the Atlanta papers. From what they have been
printing, they ain’t been hearing the truth too well. Send
the feet to Martin Luther King Jr., since he will have to
do some powerful running come January 1st.
And, by the way, send the squeal to Carl Sanders and
Mills B. Lane. When the votes get counted September 12th.
they'll be doing a heck of a lot of it.
Sincerely,
MORGAN R. REDWINE JR.
(Paid political ad by Taylor County Supporters of
Marvin Griffin.
