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.
