COUNTY LINE
Miss Ixma Hayes has been quite ill
for a wek.
Messrs. John H., and Luther Wheel
er are in Macon this week attending
the commencement exercises at Mer
cer. Their brother, Paul, has been
at Mercer three years. 1 understand
he will graduate with distinguished
honors.
We want to express our apprecia
tion of the consideration the farmers
gave us in the matter of the get ac
quainted meeting. Those who were
conspicuous by their absence, missed
a good many good tilings.
Several of ns have been for some
time trying to get two unprofitable
ginning plants to consolidate and put
an up-to-date ginnery at County Line.
They haven't seemed to appreciate
our efforts. Neither of them were
at the meeting Saturday. We decid
ed not to force our meddling any
further.
So we started a project to build
a company gin at County Line, to
equip it with the latest and best ma
chinery in every part, to be operated
by electric power.
Then we discussed the advisability
of getting up a first class store* for
County Line.
Mr. Murphy will be able to get
electric power to run his syrup mak
ing plant next fall.
We discussed also our needs of a
farmers telephone line. Messrs. J.
W. J>oster, C. G. Hayes, and F. L.
House were appointed a committee to
get all the information needed in re-
gard to price, efficiency, etc.
Then we discussed some road work
ing propositions. It was the sense of
the meeting that while a man was
subject to work the roads his mule
should he subject, too. Messr. J. E.
Pentecost and Offie Flanigan were ap
pointed to wait on Col. R. L. Carith
ers and ask him to have the old road
working law so amended that the
mules and horses on the farms will
be subject to the same number of
days, or any other conditions as the
men. He can leave out incorporate
citie- and towns, if he wants to. It
is the country roads that we are look
ing after.
Our get together meeting develop
ed a fact very clearly—to our mind
at least— that Is that we are going
to have our school house and grounds
cleaned up. The living house of our
worthy teacher and his good family
is a disgrace to the community.
There is hardly as poor a renter
shack on any farm in this district
and yet they are charged what 1 con
sider a big rent for it. The local
trustees and some others of the neigh
hors are talking of inviting Prof Hol
senbeck and some other sehool celeb
rities to a rally in the interest of
the summer schools. To me it is ex
ceedingly mortifying to look at our
old ragged sehool house and unkempt
grounds. Instead of having the finest
public school building in the county
our old place is a source of constant
mortification and shame. 1 am not
generally In favor of debt, either
public or private. But if I owned
County Liite school, and could get it,
1 would retie ■' a bond issue to build
and equip anew one. High Schools
and Colleges are grand, but most of
his can’t get beyond the public school
I For that reason alone, —if we had no
I public spirit—we should have the
| best. We already have as bright
I bi.ys ami girls as are in the State.
I They are our men and women a very
i few years hence. They must be edu
cated. They can't he in a shack that
i is worse than our barn. Our next
rueeUnfc wnts to b get awake
1 meeting in the interest of the chil
dren. : '
