In thb Superior court room thiB
November 14th, 1908, there as
sembled the County Board of Ed
ucation, representatives of the
Perry Board of Education and
other schools of the county.
Mr. J. F. Houser was elected
chairman and Com. Geo. W.
Smith requested to act as secre
tary.
The object of the meeting hav
ing been stated, the following
resolution was adopted:
“Resolved, that it is the unani
mous . sense of the members of
this conference of the Education
al Boards of the County ot Hous
ton, that it would be for the best
interests of the county that, un
der the new law regulating the
lease of convicts of the state, the
county should receive her pro rata
share of the hire of the felony
convicts, rather than to under
take to work them upon the coun
ty roads.
“That it would be a great in
justice to the children of the
county, and a great crippling of
the public schools to withdraw
from the sohool fund this three
thousand dollars or more, when
there is no source from which
this deficiency can be restored,
there being no provision by which
the people of the county could
vote an increased taxation for
that purpose.
“That it is the strong couvic
tion of this conference that the
diverting of this fund from its
present use to that of operating
the roads, will so cripple the pub
lic schools as to very greatly im-
paid their efficiency, and that it
is to the greatest interest of the
county that the public roads be
worked by taxing the property
holders of the county direct, rath
er than by taking a large
the public school money tor that
purpose.”
Then a verbal resolution was
adopted requesting the chairman
to appoint a committee of nine,
himself to be chairman thereof,
to go before the board of County
Commissioners at their December
meeting and insist that the felo
ny convicts, to which the county
is entitled be not used on the
publio roads of the county.
The committee is as follows:
J. F. Houser, R. -N. Holtzolaw,
H. A. Mathews, 0. C. Richard
son, M. F. Ethridge, C. B. Well
born, J. E. Cheek, W,‘ A. Dunbar,
R. W. Hartley.
The publioatiion of these pro
ceedings was requested and the
meeting adjourned.
G. W. Smith, Secretary.
Talking of a Dispensary System.
A gentleman living northwest
of Perry, and another living in
the Lower fifth district, told us
several days ago that there was
considerable talk about the pros
pect of the dispensary question
being in the next legislative cam
paign. These gentlemen also ex
pressed the belief that a majority
of the voters in their respective
seotions favor the enactment of a
dispensary law for Houston coun
ty.
Some time ago it was told us at
Fort Valley that candidates in fa
vor of dispensaries would be in
the legislative race, and last Fri
day we were told that the name
of a citizen of Perry was being
mentioned in this connection.
In mentioning these faots this
early, it is not our purpose to
make any argument on either
side, but merely to place the peo
ple ou notice. We are satisfied
the purpose outlined is not only
being entertained, but that there
is quiet work being done in favor
of dispensaries. It is a question
the people must settle for them
selves and each man has the right
to act upon his owu convictions
as to right and duty in the premi
ses.
Individually, the editor is op
posed to the establishment of
dispensaries in Houston, but does
not propose to use his paper one
way or the other. The people are
competent to make and render
their decision.

part of merit have not been received.

young farmer whose home is near
Myrtle. He is well known and
highly esteemed.

and best wishes for their full
share of happiness and prosperity.
—We have been told that the
country people are praotioally
unanimous in their opposition to
the use of felony conviots on the
public roads of the county. This
is not antagonism to the chain
gang system, but to the loss of
$8,000 or more to the public
school fund.
Notice—All accounts against
the Houston Cpunty Fair Associ
ation must be’presented by No
