The Oconee Enterprise says
perhaps it is not known that
there are several pauper coun
ties in Georgia. These conn
ties do not pay enough into
the state fund to balance their
pro rata shave of the public
fund for the common schools.
Banks is not on the pauper
list on this score. But we don’t
know hew soon siie will be on
the pension roll. Every -‘scab ’
in (lie county is being worked
up fora pension. The electors
receive their fl examination
live. The agents work the ap
plications through and ri ie on
railroad trains and grow fat on
the spoils. Bul,“sich” things
must be, when Gov. Cordon
endorses them and calls for re
unions of ilus veteran soldiers.
And now, comes Smith from
Gwinnett, asking to go to con
gress from lire Ninth on these
same grounds. Of course the
agents and soldiers will go with
him. We can not vouch for
the medical men. But we be
iieve the heart of the people
will not indorse such a move.
The above is only a shadow
of an incite to our thought on
this fraud. We may give you
more lengthier views when the

As announced in these col
umns, the election for Fence or
no Fence in this district, cams
off Tuesday. The polls closed
about 4 o’clock. About La

majority. We took no issue
on either side since the el
tion was announced. Neither
did we go to the courthouse
Tuesday—not own to e:\--t
vote—due cur taxes. If noth!ay
more. Tlwngh. we will ben
citizen of this county tw.o years
the ISth day of next April.
Our reason fur not voting
Tuesday, docs not put ns cm
the level with the weak kneed
policy ofli..e seeker, who may
have with, held his Vote. If iw
didn't, he was like the drown
ing man reaching out for the
biggest chunk.
Our reason for not taking
issue lonere the election \va
| fliis: To vote for stock law,
would l;.e giving the rich m:n
an easy chair. I lie poor man
a chair of iml.deuce. To vote
I for fence would be giving the
rich man’s cattle a chance to
destroy the poor man's crop.
In a!! cases we are. on the weak
side. Ru.t in this, was Dives

I rented land and ran a farm

He and bis two sons and his
son in law went manfully to '
work, and of course they soon;
paid for it, making as they did j
some years, hundreds of dollar s '
above current expenses. They j
have built nice houses and j
formed a neat little village
“down by the riverside.” Were
I called upon to name it, I
would call it “Brightsville.” j
That would preserve the Bruce
element in ?lie name. They
own 1,000 acres of line land on

mules. They run twenty plows.
