Mr. Adams Makes Statement Re
garding School’s Position
s
3 Editor The Summerville News:
1 Will you kindly allow me space in
> your columns for a brief statement
’ regarding the injunction case of the
Berry School against the Rome &
! Northern Railway? There seems to
■ bj a prevalent misunderstanding of
the school’s position in this matter,
i and, realizing the general interest
• among your readers in both the rail
road and the school, 1 desire to
. make clear the school’s position.
The school is not. opposing tho
building of the railroad. It merely
opposes tho ruining of the lino
through such a part of the grounds
as to most seriously damage the in
stitution. That we are not opposing
the railroad, but on the contrary ate
willing to aid in its construction to
a reasonable amount, is evidenced
by the fact that over three weeks age
we offered the company free right
of-way through our grounds for the
distance of a mile and a quarter, and
furthermore offered to bear the cost
of the extra grading which would be
required by this line. This offer
tho railroad promoters have refused,
and now seek to condemn a lino
, through almost tho center of our
property.
A railroad through this part of our
grounds would so seriously damage
the school as to force either tho
abandonment of all plans for further
development or tho removal of tho
institution from its present location.
The Injunction was taken out, after
our fair and reasonable offer had
been refused, as a measure of last
resort to save tho school.
We have don all that could bo ex
pected of us to reach an equitable
adjustment of the matters in dispute;
but we cannot allow a railroad, espe
cially this one which is virtually a
private enterprise undertaken for pri
vate gain, to destroy a charitable in
stitution which has been built up at
the cost of great labor and sacrifice
for the benefit of tire country boys
of tho South.
I trust that this statement will make
I clear the school’s position, and will
correct any misunderstanding in re
gard to this matter whicli piay havo
! existed in the minds of your readers.
It. H. ADAMS, Principal.

Farmers are plowing their late
corn. We havo a good deal that was

forms very fast but cotton is rather

I am requested to say that there
will be an odd fellows picnic at Wal
nut Grove church on Friday, August
20th, 1909. Several speakers will bo
Invited. Tho public Is invited to com
and bring full basgets. The program
will be published next week in The
News .
Rev. B. F. Guille is with us this
week, carrying on a series of meeting
at Walnut Grove church. The at
tendance Sunday was very good.
The meeting Monday was fairly
good for Monday. The night meet
ings will be bettor than the day moot
Ings as a great many farmers are
; not yet done their plowing and road
working has commenced In some por
tions of tho district.
The patrons of Chattoogavillo
are making preparations to paint tho
school bouse . Will go to work at it
as soon as the money can be raised
to pay for the paint.
I have a paper from Upsher county
Texas, and notice the first bale of
cotton was sold for 11% and a pre
' mium of over twenty dollars. If we
could get premiums here at Trion,
Summerville and Lyerly on the first
bale of new cotton sold It might
stimulate farmers to work more earn
estly for tho prize, If we had a prize
of $25 or SSO for the most cotton
raised on one acre or the most corn,
or hay or oats or the biggest hog at
one year old. If each district would
' give the prizes farmers would work
for it and it would be a stimulant
to the people. Then another good
thing would be for farmers to see
who could have the best tools for
farming, and the amount of land to
be cultivated to the hand or mule to
i the best advantage.
