College Building Committee at
Work.
The college building committee
has gone to work in real earnest,
and no time will bo lost now in
ruslftrig the work "to completion.
They met last Monday and had tho
lot surveyed and got bonds for ti¬
tle for tbe same. Tljey have loca
ted and surveyed a new street*
at the house branch
and running through tbe lands of
8. M. A yers, It. Ill Burruss and
Mrs. E. E JfcEntire, coming into
the Harrison bridge road at Jfrs.
JfcEntires dwelling, fronting the
college. They have surveyed and
layed off a street running from
the second branch on the Harrison
bridge road to the creek, through
Mr a. McEntire’s land, and
from the creek along the line be¬
tween N. H. Nelms and L. N.
Tribble’s land to the Athens road,
intersecting it near the residence
of N<. IL . Nflras. These , two
streets will afford much conven¬
ience to th« students coming from
either side"of town. The commits
tee will in the next few days, ad-
bids for burning the
brick, and will decide upon the
size of building and let the con¬
struction of same. There is any
amount of work to be done and tbe
committee will be kept quite busy
from now until tbe building is com¬
pleted, They will begin grading
the lot at once, arid doing all other
such work as can be done before
the brick are burned.
The Sollcltorahip.
After having transacted all the
business of the city court, Col. C.
H. Brand has gone to his home in
Lawrenceville.
Ool. Brand is a candidate for
re-election for solicitor general ol
this circuit, and it seems to us that
he should lx: re-elected without
opposition. He was elected to the
office he now tills by tho legisla¬
ture, but next time solicitors arc
elected by the people,nvnd as Col.
Brand has-made a most
record as solictor, he asks for an
endorsement of tus administration
at the hands of the people, prom¬
ising if elected this time ho will
not be a candidate for solicitor at
the next election. .
•
There arc other young men in
.this circuit who are eminently
qualified to fill the office accepta¬
bly and honorably, and we favor
the office being tilled by young
men, and some of onr worthy
young lawyers will be called on
the future to occupy this
of trust and honor. But this tiino
we think Ool. Brand is entitled to
ari endorsement, as he has left a
good, clean record behind him,
And promises not to be a candi¬
date for'aoheitor next time.—Jack-
son Herald.
f
.Now is a good time to invest in
real estate in Carnesville, as the
building V of a college is sure to
■ » -
.
adyance .
cause a great in prices.
Some ot our people who have
building lots should put up some
dwellings during the spring, as the
demand for them will be-great
next fall when the sehoel opens.
A Card.
I too an article m your naper in
reference to the family of
Toombs Howell, whoM
and himself are nowIntacter ot
Franklin county pvnportr home.
1 want to say for myself and
those gentlemen who signed
petition, that those people were
tbe point of starvation audin
of clothing, and if anybody is
blame for their boinf sent to
pauper’s home, I take the whole
rcsponcibihtv upon myself, for I
drew np the petition and my neigh¬
bors circulated it. The doctor
who attended them, I hear, has
not discharged them.
B. F. Caiu*.
The above card was written in
reply to an article in oar last issue,
condemning the action of the ooun-
tv officials, w hose business it is to
look after the paupers’ home, for
allowing people to remain in the
home who are able to work for a
living. The gentleman states in
the above card that he is wholly to
blame for the above mentioned
family being in the poorhouse.
We do not think that he is entire¬
ly responcible for the whole mat¬
ter, because it was the business of
the county authorities to investi¬
gate and see if they wore emitted
to the charity of the paupers’
home. We have not seen Mr.
Howell or his family, but our in¬
formation comes from a good
source, that he and his wife are
both eble to, work for a livirg. If
Howell were sick and unable to
work, thero might have been some
little excuse to put him o» the
county, but there was no reason
for sending his wife, who is an
able-bodied woman, and hia chil¬
dren to the poorhonse.
We know that the woman has
not been sick, and that she could
lave made a living for herself and
children. We ar# all 0 m
lied that there was no cause for
alarm, so far a* their starving was
"concerned,—as the— people in and
aronnd town have bqpn furnishing
them with aorqething to eat. Mr.
Ilovycll .wae able to walk about be¬
fore he was put on tbe county, for
it was our pleasure to contribute a
small amount toward buying a
pair of sh<>e# for him; besides help¬
ing several times to buy floor and
meat. • •
It Is not necessary tp send every
poor person who gets sick tb the.
paupers’ home to keep them from
starving. We remember several
instances whori poor people were
sick m thin neighborhood, who
were equally «9 poor as the family
above mentioned, and they did not
starve and were not sent to the
poorhonse. Tho paupers’ Jaome is
not an orphanage, nor a hospital
for the sick, nor is it a free board¬
ing house for healthy women and
chijdren, but it is intended as a
home for the old and afflicted cit¬
izens of our county, who aro too
old and feeble to take care of them-
selvos.
We still say that it was not right
to send the family of How els to
the poorhouse, and we are sure
that the citizens of Franklin coun¬
ty will not approve of their money
being spent in any such way. This
is not the first instance. In 1898
there was a young woman in the
poorhouse who did riot claim to be
sick or unable to work, but on the
contrary, did work the entire time
she was there. The county paid
fivo dollars a month for her board-
It is not the fault of the men
who has charge of the poorhouse,
that these people are there, but it
is the fault of the county officials
whoso business it is to see that no
such impositions are perpetrated
upon the county.
The people hare gone to work
iu earnest on the college and no
will be lost in pushing the’
work to completion. i
Tbe opeaing up of two sew
streets In onr town will give some
of our citizens some beautiful
building kits, which will no doubt
be improved by the time the col-
lege is completed.
