A FINAL WORD.
The bill intioduced in the House
by our representative, Mr. R ('
Brown, creating the office of (.’< m
missioner of Roads and Revenues,
introduced under protest and pass
ed while Mr. Brown was away
from liis post of duty, we are in
formed by Senator McWilliams,
will not be permitted to become a
law, since the same does rot meet
his views and lie do* s not think
such an officer necessary and the
Grand Jury recommending the
creation of an office really did not
know what they wantid.
As to the difference s of opinion
between Messrs. McW illiams and
Brown and tin* Grand Jury, which
we think was a representative bo
dy i f citizens of Henry county; ' e
hay eno concern, but it occurs to
us tna t Henry county is exceeding
ly unfortunate, since for the past
several years, we have been una
ble* to elect a member of the Gen
eral Assembly, who was able or
had the ability, to have enacted
into law, even a local measure, as
may be noted in the defeat of the
bill abolishing the county court,
after several Grand Juries bad re
commended the same ; further the
inaction causing tlio practical de
feat of the measure, petitioned for
by the city council, establishing a
system of public schools t*. r the
city of McDonough.
We desire to call the attention
of the citizens cf Henry county to
one flagrant injustice that has
been permitted and let them judge
as to whether the affairs of the
county should he in the hands of a
competent commissioner, one who
would see that all taxes laid and
collected were assessed evenly and
collected alike from all parties.
We charge and are ready to
prove that the Southern Railway
on assessment of the Comptroller
General, was due Henry county,
for taxes for the year 1008, $3,748.-
52 and was allowed to pay same
for $3,079.14, leaving abahtnee due
of $069,38*.
No effort has ever been made, to
our knowledge to collect this bal
ance. Is this justice to every oth
er citizen of Henry county?- We
could enumerate scores ol instan
ces of further mismanagement,
but what is the use?
A word in conclusion to Senator
McWilliams: the defeat of the
d unands and wishes of the people*
does not mean that sooner or later
that they will not be carried out
andfor yourself we would say
among ether things that we could
say, that closer attention to the
duties of the office of Senator ot
the 34th Senatorial district pro
the needs and welfare of its ci 1i _
zens, and less attention to the can.
cuses, for the purpose of devising
legislation to hamper and embar
rass the administration of Govern
or Joseph M. Brown, would he
greatly appreciated by a long suf
fering constituency.
Mr. R. C. Brown, our represen
tative, it appears, does not have
the t me to give to matters affect
ing the people locally, but is busy
perfecting lxis dog law, and voting
against the anti-pass bill, the one
great reform measure on which
our down trodden people had
hoped to see pass. Dong live our
dog law statesmen.
