JUDGE HOPKINS SAYS IT1ISNT CORRECT In an open letter to one of the local papers, Judge Hopkins of Thomasville repudiates the state ment' based upon the report of the Southern Service Corporaton of Waycross that there are 68,252 acres of land in Thomas county unreturned for taxes. This re port, if true, would make old Thomas the “b( ss tax dodger” of the state. . Judge Hopkins points out that much of this land reported to the County Commissioners as being in arears for taxes has never been in arears at all, but-the tak es have been regularly paid eve ry,year. As an'instance'.he gives the2,500 acres, belonging to A. H Hough of Philadelphia, upon which the taxes have never fail ed to be paid. He says further that the lots upon which the towns of Boston, Metcalfe, Meigs, Ochlocknee and Coolidge are lo cated, are in whole or in part re^ ported as ‘"dodgers” and in de fense of his county he wants the matter looked into.
