As was seen in laet weeks paper, the date fixed by the Ordinary for voting on the question of County Unit Taxation is the last Saturday of this month, 28th. About 150 names, more than sufficient to se cure the election were obtained without special effort. The opportunity for making the biggest step Henry County has ever taken is now before the people, and if the question is car ried, like a great many other things worth while, it will be done by the now very busy farmer. The taxing districts having rail roads and other corporation prop erties are indifferent or opposed to the system. They can run School Anvil Block Daniel Flippen Fargason Fairview Gordon Greenwood Hampton Hopewell Mays Morris Grove Pleasant Hill Pleasant Grove Progress South Avenue Stockbridge their schools creditably with the district system. The rural district with a high tax levy or no tax whatever and little to tax, must win the fight or lose it. I am willing to leave it to the people. In last week’sissue of the Week ly was printed a list of the memb ers of the Boys’ Corn Club in this county. This was done that any omissions or mistakes might be corrected.
