VOL. XVII. AT MAYOR S COIRT Four More Citizen’s Fined for Vio lation of Drainage Ordinance. Council Meets to Discuss Situation. W. L. Bush, Gem Grocery Cos., L. M. Leathers and W. 0. Perry were added to those fined $5.75 or ten days on the streets for running water through a drainage pipe which not empty into a running stream. At the mayor’s court Mon day night his honor continued to hew strictly to the letter of the law, saying that as long as the law was on the books he conceived it to be his duty to\ *it out. There was much merriment in the court room when W. O- Perry recieved his fine. In a very persuasive little speech Willis told the court how he dreaded mosquitoes and filth; how his slops from the kitch en ran through a pipe to a barrel with cement bottom in garden, and was covered over with wire netting to prevent the formation of “skeeters” in one day’s time; how he repaired to the barrel every afternoon and carted the water away with his own hands. He call ed upon the chief of police and board of health to bear him out in his statements and they all testified that his premises were really a pleas ant place to visit and so far as the health of the community was con cerned he had their official 0- K. The mayor said he wished to com pliment Mr. Perry for his painstak ing efforts to keep things “spick and span” about his home, but as he was running water through a pipe in violation of the law, he would have to fine him the same as he did the “other fellows,’' $5.75 or ten days on the streets. The proceedings Monday night were carried out in the best of good humor,and all present seemed to be searching for an amicable solution of the knotty problem in hand. The court room was thrown into laughter when Col. Johns remarked that the supreme court had* Tong ago decided that a jackass was a horse” and Judge Thomas retorted, “Yes, that was before the colonel was born.” Council met Tuesday night and held a lengthy session in considera tion of suggested amendments and changes in the ordinance. A mem ber tells us that the law-makers are searching for a substitute ordinance which will make it possible to pro tect the health of the town and at the same time drain the baptismal pools in the churches and dispose of other clear waters without a viola tion of law. REPLY TO REV. J. H. WOOD’S GRAVE GHARGF. Mr. Editor: In an article writ ten by Rev. J. H- Wood under the caption, “Violett and Charlton At he makes this charge: “Just as the interest began to grow and souls began to accept the Saviour, organized sectarian opposi tion began and continued through the entire meeting of twenty-five days, this opposition being led by the sectarian preachers of the town.” Now this i* a very grave and unkind charge, and I desire to say that as far as the Methodist church is concerned, the charge is * absolutely untrue. Yours very truly, W. T. Hunnicutt. UKttfcr torch In iXcuis. WINDER, JACKSON COUNTY. GEORGIA, THURSDAY. JUNE TO, 1909 INTERESTING TRIP. Offered by Seaboard Air Line—Spe cial Leaves Atlanta July 2.
