v r OL. XXII, tfo 52 .
Two Local Bills Become Law.
Complying w ; th notices publish¬
ed in The Courier since a few
weeks ago, lion. A. II. Hender¬
son, Jr., has introduced two local
bills which have passed both
houses and signed by' the governor.
One of these is an act creating a
board of county commissioners for
White county and provides for the
appointment of a road supervisor
or engineer whose duty it will be
to supervise all public road work of
the county.
It is the duty of the grand juries
to elect members of the board at
t he court next preceding the ex¬
piration of the term of any mem¬
ber, but no person who is a mem¬
ber of the grand juay at that term,
or was drawn upon that jury, shall
be eligible to election.
The board may elect a clerk, but
no person who holds a county office
of clerk of the board. It will be
the duty of the clerk to keep a true
aud complete record of the pro¬
ceedings of each and every meet¬
ing of the board, and sucli record
to be preserved within a well
bound volume which the public
shall have access at will,and which
shall be examined by each grand
jury.
A bond of *iooo shall be re¬
quired of cadi member of the board
the bond to be approved by the
clerk of the superior court.
The board is clothed with author
ity to examine and audit the books
and records of the several county
officers semi-annually.
The act provides that Mr. C. A.
Vandiver, of Helen, is chairman,
and that his term shall expire
uury i, 1023 ; Mr. T. Hooper, of
Mossy Creek, is made a member
and whose term expires Jan. i,
1923; Mr. J. H. Stovall, of Blue
Creek, is also a member, and whose
term expires Jan. 1, 1923.
The other act is one creating a
city court for White county, effect¬
ive at once. Col. J. W. H.Under¬
wood is Judge, and Col. T. F.
Underwood is Solicitor, of this
court which convenes quarterly.
The creation of this court will
greatly relieve the congestion now
prevailing in the superior court and
add to the county fund a good sum
annually. With Col. J. W. H.
Underwood on the bench the public
may expect an able adminiitration
of the court coupled with a clear
demonstration of judicial ability.
That Col. T. F. Underwood will
be active in the prosecution of all
cases coming before him no one
doubts. With this team at the
the head of the court there is no
no need for anyone seeking justice
to worry.

ence.—Dahlonega Nugget.

T. E, Watson,
Mrs. Alice Lytle,
G. C. Edmondson,
I remember as a little gir 1 my
horror and disgust when I saw the
trail of slime a filthy, crawling
snail left behind. You are like
that snail!
As the snake, the poisonous viper
kills the person whom be strikes
and lets his venomous tongue into,
you are far worse, for you kill the
hearts and minds of poor deluded
creatures already poisoned by the
unhealthy seed sown in them from
childhood.
The smallest child from a family
outside of the true fold has the
poisoned shaft ready to dart at one
of Christ’s own people. I asked
an acquaintance of mine where he
learned such abominablo filth, and
lie told me “at home, in th; Sun¬
day school and from the pulpit.’’
That is Protestantism ! Protest¬
ing against Christ himself, against
his people, Iiis teachings, his an
nointed teachers of the gospelf
against every good!
Thank God I am a Catholic, the
greatest title in the world; that
my young mind was not polluted
by the filth of wrong teachings,
that now as a woman I can proud¬
ly know and understand how great
an honor God has bestowed upon
me. I would rather be a pagan, a
heathen, for such God can forgive,
but a Protestant, never!
You are one of those who daily
crucify Christ, who chive the
crown of thorns into his head, anc d
With your > r
gibes and sneers and venomous
tongue and pen.
May God have mercy and pity
upon you, for Satan will not.
Christ was the first Catholic,and
He will be the last, for He is eter¬
nal ! Theresa Coll.

Five-Dollar Tariff Passed on All
More Than 30 and unmarried
By Paul Warwick
The house of representatives of
,this majestic old commonwealth
knocked the unmarried people of
this state for a corridor of Ionic
columns at its session |Tuesday af¬
ternoon, especially thaCHnrge hunk
of the unattached who have been
consistently attacted by that relent¬
less assailant—Anno Domini,
If the old famiby Bibie avers
that you were born 30 years ago :>r
more, and you still haven't gone
into permanent partnership and
signed the articles of marital war
with some one of opposing gender
—the house of representatives is in
favor of slapping a tax of $5 per
annum on your brow. For a joker,
it would appear, the content of tlie
amendments to the tax bill asking
this tax carried the proxiso that the
person so taxed nfust be compos
mentis.
'1'lie vote on the matter was fairly
evenly divided—68 to 67. There
are those who say that the privilege
of remaining single is worth $5 a
year. There are others who declare
that they would be willing to have
the tax increased several hundred
percent if their matrimonial con¬
tracts could be nullified.
Ubiquitous statistician stated
Tuesday afternoon that there are
784,000 people nnder thirty in the
state. That would be *3,92c),000
