Friends of Walker County
People
Elsewhere in this issue of the
Messenger ispnblished (be list ofcon-
Uibutors to the Walker County Fair,
which will be held at LaFayttte next
Thursday and Friday, Oot.tJTth and
2Stb.
Since the fair association has no
abow ground and charges no ad
inißsiou nor fee of exhibitors, the
funds for the premium list must be
made up largely by the business
Arms and citizens of LaFayette.
A number of very handsome and
valuable prizes, however, have been
generously donated by different
firms of Chattanooga and it is to
this list of contributors that the at
tention of our readers is especially
culled.
These firms are interested in the
welfare of the people of Walker
county and believing fairs are good
things and stimulating to the agri
cultural interests of the county,
have cheerfully aided the citizens of
I<aKayette in making the premium
list worth wuile. They are genuine
friends of the people of Walker
county, and we trust our readers
will bear them in mind whenever it
is possible for them to show their
appreciation of their support to their
annual fair.
Beautiful Park Site
We hope the cily authorities will,
when they come to the work of lay
ing off a park at the Big Spring;
arrange the boundriee of the park in
such away as to include the old
stockade hill west of the spring.
It is no exaggeration to say that the
view from this poiut is oue of the
finest near the town. Fromthesum
mit of the hill one overlooks the
towns of Linwood and I-a Fayette
and the valley, while a hundred feet
below is the spring. There is much
history connected with the hill, for
hack in 1830, when the Indians
were removed from this section to
the territory, they wore corralled
within the walls of the stockade
which had been constructed here.
The lines of the old stockade walls
can be traced even at this late day,
and if the town retains the property,
markers should be erected to show
the location of tl e walls.
Tim: To Get Busy
Bays the Chicago Journal "The
good roads movement continues to
receive the endorsement of every
body and the active support of no
body." This is not exactly true;
much work is being done to make
better roads, but is undeniably true
that the amount of work done is
very small compared with wh*t has
heen said and written about road
improvement We have learned
how we can make good roads, and
we have learned that we must pay
for them if we ever get them. Let
us recognize the fact that that it is
time to quit talking and get down
io busici ss.— Raleigh (N. C.) Pro
guseiie Farmer and Gazette.
Signboards arid Mile-Posts
The traveller over the roads of
Walker < o mtv Mes verv few sign
boards and mile posts directing him
on his wav and tel ling,him how far
is his d£Blinatioin, because the law
regarding the posting of roads by
overseers is something of a »dead
letter law in many sections of the
county,.
Hpiy is what the law says as to
this duty of overseers:
meiisiifrOill-- that
part'dfMJfijirdsd*. t<y which,-fhey may
be af’rjfotfiKwf, beginning at-the court
house, and at the epd of esch mile
shall set up a post or a mark in some
conspicuous place which shall desig
nate the number of miles from thence
to the court house.
"They shall,.-at-the fork of each
publwroad, place in some substantial
and. consumeuyns manyer^a.boariLpr,
other niiirljL desijgnatjpg thereejp.. tjm
most public place"jto which each road
directs, and if any road is altered so
as to make the fork at some other
place, or as to make necessary sign
boards, they shall be removed.”
Failure to coinjly*with the pro
visions of the law is made punish
able by a line not exceeding SST).
Must Pay Dog Tax
In his first round over the county
Tax Collector W. A. Martin finds
that the taxpayers are averse to pay
ing the dog tax, many taxpayers
positively declining to pay the dol
lar a head tax on their dogs.
Mr. Martin has written the
Comptroller-Genersl for instructions,
and this official holds that all who
fail to pay their dog tax are de
faulters and thus lose the privilege
of voting.
Extracts from the Comptroller-
General's letter follow:
"The dog tax q lestion continues
to come up for ruling. The Attorney
General holds in an officia 1 opinion
that the Dog tax is constitutional
and legal and must be collected. No
man who fails or refuses to pay the
Dog tex can register or vote and a
failure to pay this tax makes him a
defaulter.
“The killing of the dog does not
settle the tax, and it cannot bs
avoided by having the dog killed,
“The General assembly had a
double purpose in enacting this law.
The first was to collect the tax; the
second was to get rid of the worth
less dogs.
"The law does not authorize you
as Tsx Collector to receipt a taxpay
er for ail his taxes unless be pays all
the law demands, including the
Dog tax. If a man chooses to be
come a defaulter by refusing to pay
the tax on his dog, you can receipt
him for what he pays, "as part of
his taxes," and proceed as the law
says about levy, sale and killing the
dog, etc."
Hog And Hominy
The following comes from un
known source, but it is none the
less true:
After all is said about farming in
the south, after every plan has been
discussed and every argument pro
and con has been advanced and ex
hausted, after deep plowing, heavy
fertilizing, warehouses and all the
rest have had their say—old Hog
and Hominy gets up at last to close
the argument and win the case.
Yes, here, in deed and in truth, is
the key, and the only key to inde
pendence on the farm Show us the
man who has had oorn and meat to
sell, year in and year out and we
will show you a man who >s abso
lutely independent of the manipu
lations of the cotton speculators, and
who can hold this, his surplus crop
until it suits him to sell it.
We need to keep this lesson be
fore us. We should look after the
cotton part of it—for it is important
and is our great money crop; but
it should not be the chief aim of the
farm. We need to make Corn the
I King—and then we will live in the
hapny and prosperous realm of Hog
and Hominy, sitting under our own
vine and fig tree in peace ami con
tent, and none daring to molest us
or make us afraid.
When the price of cotton goes
down, and we are in the hole for
tweuty cent meat, these truths come
home to us with peculiar force. It
should be the prayer and pride of
every tiller of the soil in the south
to be a llog and Hominy farmer.
