ONE DOLLAR A YEAR s BERRY SCHOOL ENJOINS ROME & NORTHERN. 1 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. EEMINOLE Farmers are plowing their late corn. We havo a good deal that was planted in July and it nocessarially will havo to be worked late to make any corn. Our cotton is taking on forms very fast but cotton is rather late. 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. G. A. RAGLAND.
