Austin, Winder, Ga., Route 19. —My Dear Sir: My attention been called to the fact that nay letter of March Bth to you, with reference to parties sub ject to road duty in Jackson county, conveyed to yOtT a wrong impres sion. I regret that I did not have time to write you fully. It is al most impossible, on account of the many matters occupying my time and attention, for me to thoroughly investigate and personally answer every inquiry received.: . In your letter of March 6th you called especially to nay attention the Act of August 2-, 1907 (Acts of 1907, page 99), and asked if a minor under that Act could be re quired to work the public mads in Jackson county- I requested one of my secretaries to turn to the Act in question and see what the age requirements were. You did not state under what plan of the Alternative Road Law the public roads of Jackson county are worked. I did not know my self, and as the Act to which you referred relates to the system adopt ed by a vote of the people in the county, it was but natural to pre sume that the roads in Jackson county were being worked under that plan, and not upon the system adopted by recommendation of the grand jury. It was therefore, stated to you that minors would not be subject to road duty in your county. The opinion, however, should have gone further and contained a statement to the effect that if the roads are being worked in Jackson county under the plan recommended by the grand jury, minors 16 years old and over would he subject to road duty. I am writing that you may un derstand the impression intended to be conveyed in my former letter and if its contents have been made public, I would thank you to correct the error.

" Cos” - RIGHT i 'tO 6B V AMERICAN LADY COHSf . ;CARD fROM DR. J. C. BENNETT. To Winder News. In your issue of March 18th one W. E. White (the one being a fa vorite word of his) has scon fit to handle my name with impunity in hisarticle entitled “The Martin In stitute Case-” I have notified him it was an Ananias job and that his j statement concerning myself needed a retraction. He wrote me “that my reference to Dr. Bennett, as a trustee of Martin Institute was con cerning his acta as an official of the inst itution and not as a private citi zen. - . Hoping this will lx? satisfactory” etc. I would under stand by that for him to mean 1 could act a scoundrel as a trustee and still be a gentleman as a private citi zen. That is a doctrine to which l cannot subseribc. His efforts to injure the character of people who occupy these honorary positions by misstating facts and drawing on his imagination to fit conditions to his liking will come to naught. His first reference to me suits his purpose, but is not founded on fact. On 23d day of January he came to my office and said lie was tired of law and had a proposition that would settle it. I asked him wi at it was. He said he wanted the trustees of district No 1 to grant his children permission to attend school at Thyatira. 1 his we did. His children are not going to Thyatira He does not seem to be tired of law, having filed two separate sui's since that time. 11 is last reference to me is a fab rication from beginning to end. What h,e says pas-ul between Mr. Hone and myself did not occur and if he believed it at the time lie wrote it he has had ample notice since to satisfy any right thinking man that the statements were devoid of truth. Mr- .Bone on the day the injunction case was to be beard called up Judge Br&nd and asked that his name be stri ''y r w the case.or something to t and Mtpt This was not at my suggestion and without my knowledge. He has Lrseo paid his fee and entered his two children and that without consulting me. It seems I am held responsible for Mr. Bone’s course in the premises by Mr. .White. To intimaterthat Mr. Bone is not capable of aptiug on his own judgment would be a. reflection on that gentleman and I. am far from doing it'. ; He acted "for him self, and deserves credit' fbr the , course he has pursued to get out of tliis muddle... Martin Institute and.its trustees are not trying their cause in the newspapers. This article is written without their.knowledge' ur-Cbrise nt, simply to set mygolLright wi tiny our readers who may have seen,.the com munication before mentioned. Very Respectfully, - J. C.
