VOL. XXIII, No 7
Brannon Nix Comes Again.
Editor of the Courier :
White county citizens and all
who may be concerned :
After being asked by many of
my settlement people to state to
the public our understanding about
bonds being voted inWhite county,
I submit for public consideration
the following : It was the under¬
standing of a large number of the
voters that we were to vote bonds,
sell them and tnrn the money over
to the highway commission and for
them to say weere the road should
be built, and to build the road.
Otherwise I am not sure bonds
would have carried inWhite county
But, it seems, our county authorit¬
ies have broposed a route exactly
contrary to the route proposec by
the highway commission before
bonds were voted.
The proposition put up to the
people of White county in the
court-hovse at Cleveland publicly
by the state highway authorities
was, that if we would vote bonds
they would build a highway
through either Tesnatee or Frog
town Gap; that road to be the first
road in the county.
We respectfully ask the state
authorities io respect their original
proposition.
Now we want to get right down
to jnstice between man and man.
We all very well know that White
county’s citizens by a free donation
paid $20,000 to the N. W. R.R.
people to give Helen a railway.
Now,would it be fair to the people
of the other parts of the county to
give Helen the first highway? I
for ouc, frankly say no, and will
cohtinue to do so until I am con¬
vinced I am wrong. Theu I will
repent in sachchoths and ashes
That is all the great God of heaven
asks a man to do, and I think that
is all a man from Heleu should ask
a man to do. I want to be fair
about anything concerning the
public. Equal rights to all parts
of the county, or as much so as
possible. When it comes to public
business we should deny ourself
and self interest and get down with
the other fellow. It is a hard
thing to do, but we should do it.
Christ says deny yourseil, “take up
my cross and follow me.” And
also, He says, love thy neighbor as
thyself. To do this we have to
look after the other fellow, too.
We cant say,“ Lord help me and
my wife, my son John and his
wife, us four and no more.” This
is Pharasaical, and I am afraid that
today there are more of these pray¬
ers tent up than any otlier. and I
verily believe they will never get
as high as a pug dog could throw
a billy goat by the horns. The
devil will boost us and tell us we
are the biggest fellow in the world,
and will sometimes get us to think
it, too, but if tne devil was cast
out of us as he was from Mary
Magdalene, no doubt some of us
would uot be so big as a grasshop¬
per.
Let us all come together and pull
together. “United we stand,
devided we fall.” I am in favor
of good roads in all parts of the
county as fast as they can be built,
and we want to pull for that end.
If we all pull together we will
eventually have them.
We favor the highway commis¬
sion saying what route the first road
shall be built over, and also the
pext, That was our
at first, as they have no self interest.
I don’t wish to hurt anyone’s feel¬
ings over this road route. If I do
foagive me. You know on a certain
occasion Christ was asked how
many times daily you should forgive
a man; if seven times a day.
Christ said yea, seventy time seven.
I am for the right, whatever it may
be.

Three Try To Break Jail
Wednesday Jalor E. H. Power
was informed that the occupants of
the cell. Oscar Shubert, Buddy
Harris and John Wright, had a
hack saw. This information was
given to deputy Power by a man
who had called to see these prison¬
ers. Deputy Power immediately
went up there to make search for
these implements and inquired of
the prisoners if they had slid)
things in the cell and they all
denied it. With his flash light he
found a place on one of the bars
where a piece of soap or some soft
substance that looked fresh and
removed it and found that one
quarter of an inch had been cut in
the bar. After a long and diligent
search he findly found the three
hack saws.
Oscar Shubert broke jail when
G. V. Hefner was sheriff and has
been at large ever since, untill
caught by Dept. Power Sebtember
ii in the Valley. He is charged
with four misdemeanor cases.
Buddy Harris and John Right are
charged with burglizing the
commisory of the Morse Bros, at
Helen.
Two Cut In Chestatee
District Sunday Morning
Sunday morning J. A. Dockery,
ex-representative from Lumpkin
county and postmaster at Walnut,
and his brother, Webster, were cut
it is alleged, by Frank and Steve
Porter, one or both of them, bp
in the public road in front of the
home of J. A. Dockery. Amongst
other physicans called was Dr.
Downey, Gainesville, and their
wounds were determined as being
fatial, especially Webster who was
stabbed through both lungs, besides
a number of other places
that were just as fatal. They
were taken to Downey’s hospital
in Gainesville Monday morning
and reports from there seem to
convey the opinion that while they
are not out of danger they are both
improving.
So many rumors are afloat as to
the trouble that we cannot determin
which is right, or whether any
statement from anyone with whom
we come in contact is sufficiently
relibls for publication. However,
one thing that all seeme to agree
is that the Porter men (one or both)
had accused the Dockery’s of still
reporting according to what the
Dockerys had heard,and it was up¬
on an inquiry into this that brought
about the altercations which result¬
ed in both the Dockerys being so
severely stabbed.
Mr. J. A. Dockery will be
remembered by the people of
White county as being a me nber
of the late firm of Dockery &
Reece in Cleveland.
Tom Parks Dies From Wound.
Tom Parks, a Dawson county
citizen, died at a local hospital
Friday as a result of a blow on the
head with a hammer administered,
it is alleged, by a man named Will
Crane, also of Dawson. Ie is al¬
leged that Parks and Crane engag¬
ed in a row in Dawson county and
Crane administered a blow on
Park’s head with a hammer. The
injured man was brought to a local
hospital for treatment, but medical
skill was of no avail, and death en¬
sued at the above-stated time. The
body was carried to his home for
interment Saturday.
Whether Crane has yet been ap¬
prehended or not has not been
learned, but he wil,lin all probabil¬
ity, have to answer to the courts to
a charge of murder.—Gainesville

CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 23 , 1921 .
Crawleys Are Denied Change
GAINESVILLE, Ga., Sept. i 9 .
Judge J. B. Jones has been debat¬
ing in bis mind for some time
whether to give the Crawleys a
change of venue from Union to
Hall county, but has decided to
have it in Uniou county again.
The Crawleys were given a new'
trial by the Supreme Court because
one of the jurors was to close kin
to Ben Dixon, the slain man.
The question of jurors has become
a serious one. At the last trial the
entire jury box was exhausted to
within eighteen of the bottom by
disqualification and strikes. But
the last revisers added about 500
additional names to the box and
and the judge thinks with these he
may get a jury. But nearly the
the entire population of Union
county is kin to Dixon or his wife.
There are ten murder cases on
the Union county docket, including
the elusive Ed Butt, now taking
the air cure, and the judge is
thinking of holding a two weeks’
court by postponing White county
court from the second Monday in
October to the fourth. Union
court begins the first Monday.
