Tuesday next, August igtb, you
should go to the polls and vote your
convictions in the interest of the
county of which you are a part. No
honest man would deceive you in
making your decision how you are
to vote. But if your decision is
wrong then it becomes the duty
of the better ifonrmed to instruct
you. Remember the true phrase,
“it is an act of charity to instruct
the ignorant.” This being true,
then some one is all the time doing
a charitable deed in instructing
all of us—for we are all ignorant.
Let not any of us be too selfish
to do our duty, but: do as we be¬
lieve is best for White county.
Would anyone following us endure
for a moment any ill feeling toward
•us for having voted bonds and built
a court-house that is a credit to the
county and the pride of its people?
No, but the very contrary will exist,
and our sons and daughters and
those who will come to White,
county to make their future home,
or to dwell with us during the sum¬
mer months, will appreciate our
acts—if we vote bonds—and their
life will be the happier by it.
The present court-house when it
was built was quite suitable for the
then existing conditions and popul¬
ation, to-day it is quite inadequate
for the public needs, and is not a
safe nor adequate building for the
public records. To build a court¬
house for present needs would not
require $30,000—possibly about
half that amount—but what should
be done is to build one that will be
quite commodious and suitable for
the county’s needs thirty years
hence and let the people then help
pay for its construction. You know
tire people at that time would much
prefer to do this than to build a new
one.
If the court-house is built bv
bonds the money will be borrowed,
in Some of the large cities and larg¬
ely spent in White county.
If the court-house is built by dir¬
ect taxation the money will be
wrenched front the people of White
county and a large per cent of the
money in circulation will be wiped
out and harder times will prevail.
In short, it just means that if the
county borrows the money it will
pay not more than 4 i per cent. If
you borrow it, you borrow from
your neighbor or the banks and you
will pay from eight per cent up to—
whatever they have a mind to
charge you.

THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
An article in this issue showing
the amount of increase in taxes to
build a court-house is given the
public for their consideration. In
this article Mr. Keith gives the
figures to show conclusively just
what the increase will be in taxes,
whether the court-house is built by
bonds or by direct taxation, and is
made so plain that all should easily
understand just what to except and
prepare for in either event.
Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, candid¬

questions that may be put to him
by the voters. 11 is present tour
will cover Half, White,Habersham,

livering from two to four addresses

Congressman Bell Announces,
In this issue of the Enterprise
will be found the formal announce¬
ment of Congressman Thomas M.
Bell for re-nomination subject to the
primary to be held on the 12th day
of September. That Mr. Beil is
well and ably representing the peo¬
ple of the ninth district will no
doubt be demonstrated more con¬
clusively at this election than ever
before. Reports from all over the
district say that he will be return¬
ed this time by a larger majority
than ever before. It seems that the
people are unwilling to place a new
man in this position just now from
the fact that the nation is passing
through some very trying times
and men of experience are worth
more iri a Crists, hence Ill's high fav¬
or. Mr. Bell has always been a de¬
pendable representative and can
safely be counted on to protect the
best interests of the people he re¬
presents as well as the nation at
large.—Cornelia Enterprise.
