LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE I

WILKE* *(K* QUESTIONS.
Editors Tikes Ektiepeise,
T-tomasriUe, G*.,
Dear Sin:
Ic hssbeen stated over the slgtstuei
of proniaent men of Oeiio tlist the peo
ple of Keiga—excepting the po ltteiuu
—are not afraid of high taxes in oaas
lbs county of Gmdjr is formed. If this
be trne, I most confess that I am tor.
prised to learn that we have each a
growth of ‘ politicians." I haven't
taken the pilot to count them, as tlie.v
will ran w.v op in the hundreds.
The peorl - of Meigs district to a man
an far as I ain advised, oppoee the new
county ico'cment. Some of ne own
real estate i-i the proposed new connty
and in the capacity of t,r payers
certainly I are a right to oppose it.
The paop'e who are fighting for the
new county very well know that
wonld be detrimental to their canse to
p ace tlie matter before the people at a
plain holiness proposition. Hon than
once nlreaiylpve they shown strongly
their nnwillingneee to have tliejothor
side presented
Taiahti values in Uelgs district, con
sidering th > area, rank next to Thom-
asville. n view of the harden that
wonld be incumbent upon ns in the wa>
of in tro red taxes, and the hemtaediin,
isjlat.d po.itioL Uelgs would be left in,
ifGrady c, nnty should bo formed, we
propose to fl.ht the new ooonty move
ment through eTery nvenne that is open
tone.
Who will represent Thomas oonnly in
the House nf Representatives whin thia
metier c.unes before (lie Legislature?
From Information gather'd both di
rectly and indirectly it •seme to mo that
th* distinguished gentlemen upon whom
the houor of representing Thomaa
ooonty Was bestowed are representing a
conuty that was onboard of at the time
of tlieir eie -tion. I sincerely hope that
they will he able to see and net in the
matter aa representatives c-f the good
old coni-iy of Thomas.

them to let half of their land lay oot
and put the other half in corn and
wheat and hold what cotton they hav*
until next y.ar, maybe they coold sell it
for 8 ots. any way. Nearly everybody

they can raise flee cant cotton to keep
