The advocates of Gradjr county hare bem keeping quiet of late. Lut month their new county execntire committee printed a two column article of abue, which aliens; <d many from their cause. Even the authors realized that such methods wers a mistake. They prom ised to desl With the Decatur county side of the question the next week and hare not done to yet. The leaders of the movement have seen thqt they cannot maintain their position in the public prints, and hare maintained a deep silence for more than a month. Last week, however, the Cairo Mes senger printed the following. One of the favorite objections urged against the New County] movement by its opponents is tiiat of expense. It is the rapid tire gun of the opposition—as if anything good on this earth was ever seemed without expeiue. Upon this hypothesis no man should Improve his surroundings -his home, nis town,—be cause it is liable to cost him something. (Jut upon such close fitted, ssinillut at- gmnent. Of course it will cost money to inaugurate a new county. Nobody a burn fool believes or could thins otherwise. And the people of Urady county are anxious, willing and waiting io shoulder all the expense of the movement. They are per ect y so - vent, and will call on no outside pal ties to aid them io the good work alter the county is established. If we can staud the expense, it rather strikes ns that outside parties might cease to shed their crocouhe tears lor os in tins regard. "Urady county will be worthy of her illtutriosB name in every respect. Her public buildings will be in consonance with the spirit and taste of the great Georgian, and ills titc-size image, In the purest Parian inaibie, will adorn her Temple of Justice—and the people wit 1 not mind the expense 'oyether.' " The Messenger is evidently suffering from a shoit memory, It lias made re peated statements to the effect tiiat taxes wcu.d not be higher in the pro posed county. It haa been a favorite statement ot the leaders of the move ment that there would he no increase of taxes m Urady, They .have reitera ted this claim in conversation, in oorres. puudeuce and by every means in tlielr power. " s lie argument that the poopie of jrady Will have to pay higher taxes will nut lio.d water,” was their prouu boast. And now how different. The Mes senger eumus tiiat it will ooet money. How else is the money to be raised tlian by taxes? It glones in the faot that it will ooat money. It plans to build marble statue, even. What has caused tlie change of tune? Have the new county execntire committee Just inves tl gated a littlo farther and found that tt will coat more than they expected? We are glad to And one point opon which we all agree. The opponents of Urady say it will raise the taxes of the people in the new county. Thu advo cate* admit that a new county will oost money, Tiiat question is settled. The claim was lint made of "no ex' pense, ” and now this later statement that it will coat money, We presume of ooorse thatjthe change of base comes because the new county leaders are honest men, and after extendal investi gation they find they were mistaken in their earlier position. If this be the case, may they not be as badlv mistaken In their other claims of the benefits to oome from the proposed division? In fact may they not be wrong entirely in this movement? And will not sober second thooghtjconvincejthose who were enthnsiastic in the beginning, that the better part is to let things remain as they are. The question now since this admission is a simple one. Are the taxpayers of the Spence and Cairo diitricte and the other districts involved, willing to pay oat more of their good hard money in the shape of higher taxes every year? Are they wilting to exchauge the low taxes of Thomas for the higher taxes of Grady, to build a marble statue for Cairo's court house? • -We Believe- * V., y- We sell the most reliable Shoes in the county.

Governor Terrell will urge the legis- ( store this year to focreeee the appro priation fer the support and maintain- unce of the state militia from (20,000, which has been the usual amount, to (25,000, It is a sore fact that the mili tia needs reorganisation and perhaps the additional (SCOOwill help.

The site selected by the government for the now postoffice bniiding will be satifactory to almost every man, woman and child in Thomesvilln. We have all acqnired, by long years ot practice, the habit of going to the corner of Jaokeon aud Madison streets for onr mail. We would still head that way after breakfast if the post office were at the other end of town. The present site is as central as could liavu been fonnd. It Is convenient alike to all bnsiness sections of the city, retention of the poitoOce to the old neighborhood prevents those unhealthy fluctuations in the price of real estate that necessarily would entail npon any change. The new building will be an honor to Thomnsville. Plana for its f nrnishings call for a completeness that is seldom fonnd in a city of ThomisviUe’e else. It will be spaoiout enough for our needs some Tears to come. The volume of postal business in Thomasville Is remarkably large for a town of 0000. Statistics prove this to be a fact. If they did not, we may rest assured that the present arrange' ment would not have been enlarged, Poetmaster Dismnke, with the aid of Congressman Griggs, has done Thomas- ville a service that will live after him.
