TO TRY NEW PLAN
Bainbridge, Ga., Feb. 12 1922.
Editor Post Search Light:
Your accusition that I was unfair
to the county commissioners was un
just and uncalled for.
But I do ray that they are respon
sible for every dollar they tax out of
the people in excess of the 5 mills al
lowed by the constitution.
Why is it that you are claiming to
stick to the constitution in State mat
ters and are willing to see our coun
ty drift away in its affairs.
If the makers of the constitntlon
was wise In limiting the tax levy to
6 mills don’t you think it was wise in
also for the State limiting the coun
ties to a like sum.
The constitutional convention also
limited the state board issue. And my
agreeing with you about the proposed
amendment to issue 75 million of
bonds for road building seems to have
been the cause of this row.

general purposes, but for any special
purpose that the commissioners chose
they could levy any tax they saw fit.
And then Hell broke loose in Ga.

off his potato rows, and was our
canning lady one of the general pur

county paying some one to ride over
the country giving canning demonstra
tions.
Was tick eradication one of the gen
eral purposes—no when old Brindy

I got in reach of you you turned your
guns on me and let the constitution
distrayer get away.
Yes let us stay by the constitution
in county as well as State affairs.
Another thing I am going to ask
you to do. And this is it. Let the
County Commissioners do their own
fire fighting,
There isn’t a man on the county
board that hasn't got more natural
ability and education than I have. But
every time any one puts the tire un
der them,’ they holler fire and that is
all they do. Then you come a run
ning to try and put it out..
The law created the commissioners,
gives them the sole authority to col
lect taxes and to disburse funds.
Every supreme Court decision that
I ever read was on the line that you
couldn't make the commissioners do
any thing or prevent them from doing
it. But they were a law unto them
selves.
You take the injunction filed a few
years ago to prevent the collection
of the money to build the bridge.
The court said that the commission
ers had a righ to do as they saw fit,
no law to force or prevent. They have
unlimited power, no one to molest <jr
make them afraid. And as I have
said before it lodks like that they are
going to confiiscate the property of
the whole county.
Again I will say let’s stay by the
constitution.

Now under new leadership, 4,100
Georgi afarmers joined a movement
to market their cotton co-operatively,
upon a plan similar to that of the
Southwest Georgia Watermelon Grow
ers’ Association, which attained sig
nal success last year. The plan now
being followed is similar to that of
the Florida and California Fruit Ex
changes, and is identical to the so-call
ed “Sapiro” cotton system now being
followed in six other souhern states.
More than 125,000 farmers in other
parts of the South have signed a
total of more than 2,100,000.
Approximately 90,000 bales are al
ready signed to the pool under a five-
year Iron-clad contract, which was au
thorized in a recent session of the
Georgia Legislature, and which has
stood the test of the Federal Trade
Commission and several state supreme
courts.
April 1 has been set as the time
limit, and 200,000 bales must be sub
scribed by them or else the movement
fails in Georgia, for the time being
at least.
Members of the new organizationic
committee, which is in charge, un
animously expressed themselves as be
ing confident that they will be success
ful in starting the movement. The
seventeen men who have voluntarily
taken the campaign in charge are as
follows: J. E. Conwell, Lavonia; L. A.
Dean, Rome; T. S. Johnson, Jefferson;
C. S. Barrett, Union City; J. O. Maner,
Millhaven; Martin F. Amorous, Mar
ietta; J. T. Childs, Butler; H. U. Wal
lace, Elberton; A. M. Wilkins, Comer;
T. B. Thornton, Harrwell; W. T. Han
son, Smyrna; A. C. Little, Carnesville;
J. S. Cowart, Arlington; A. H. Pin-
ston, Sylvester.
