THE ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM
Farmers Who Visit Court
house Pleased with the Old
System of Road Working-
Grand Jury Settles the
Matter.
Farmers who call at the Ordinary’*,
office discuss quite freely their views
concerning county affairs, and in thh
way Judge Hill gathers the con
census of opinion. Road improve
ment and the building of a jail are
the subjects uppermost in the pub
lic mind just at present.
Until the meeting of the first Bar
row county grand jury Judge Hill has
been following the old road law, and
hie, action in this matter seems to
have met with general favor. In
fact much discussion in opposition
tk> the adoption of the alternative
system of working the roads ha?
been neard at the court house Fi'iiw
the appointment of the commission
ers.
The old law requires all persons
between the ages of 16 and 50 who
are not otherwise exempt to work
the roads in their respective dis
tricts, while the alternative road
system catches them between 21 and
50. .
The argument is mad© that the old
system distributes the work more
ef.enly and is the key-note to the
saving of the county from a large
bonded indebtedness. This important
question will he settled, or consid
ered rather, when the grand jury
meetsj the last week in this month.
The temporary quarters leased by
Judge Hill for a court house until
the people shall order the building
of anew one, have been put in first
class shape and is now in readiness,
for the holding of court. The Sharp
ton opera house presents the ap
pearance of having been built ex
pressly for court purposes.
The vaults, books, office furniture
and county officers have all been in
s,tailed in the temporary quarters
and the court house is the busiest
sjeene in Winder. All roads in
Barrow county now lead to the court
h 'use and the center of town has
been moved just a little nearer the
Seaboard depot.
The question of building a jail is
being discussed, and it is said that
judge Birand has expressed the opin
ion that the county would save mon
cy and reap more satisfaction by
building anew jail rather than at
tempting to provide temporary quai
ters for the sheriff and prisoners

SOLVING CHICKEN QUESTION.
Judge G. A. Johns Falls Upon A Plan
to Prevent Chickens From Run
ning at Large in the City
of Winder.
While delving into the decisions,
of the courts Judge G. A. Johns
came across a case reported in
some of the books of his large li
brary which gave him the idea that
just such a scheme as the one shown
therein would relieve the chicken
evil in Winder, if put into practice.
Tlie decision cited reported that
a farmer called his chickens to be
fed by the blowing of a horn. Thus
all tlie chickens in the neighbor
hood formed tlie habit of running
at break-neck speed toward tlie
spot of every horn. A large touring
car passed the farm house one day
and its danger signal caused the
untimely death of many chickens,
for which the farmer received no
damages.
As yet no one lias heard tlie Judge
blowing a horn, bid lie has, stretched
two strands of wire around his back
yard to designate tlie plot of ground
lie calls his chicken farm. This
morning he was seen purchasing an
abundant ff.ipply of chicken feed, and
was heard to remark that he intend
ed -to feed his fowls so well that
they would have no desire to leav\
and his neighbors’ hungry chickens
would congregate. The Judge says
the FYd) eme will prove profitable.
Further d* tails of its workings lie
refused to divulge.

taining to Washington, watj an amus

Washington box of candy was award
