Not Too Late!
It is not too late for the County Commissioners to redeem
themselves from the outrageous mistake that they made recently in
the purchase of the Owens property on which to place the Negro
school.
Som; seem to think that the deal is closed. It is not. No tran
saction is ever closed until someone has received something and Chair
man J. C. Spruill told a representative of the Beacon and News
Tuesday that he had never received any property from anyone for the
purpose of building a Negro school or anything else on.
The Beacon and News pleads to the County Commissioners
to reconsider what they hav edcne. Give the public some consideration
People from Roper, Crcswell, Wenona, Mackeys, in fact from all over
the county elected you to operate this $15,000,000 organization for
them and you, honorable commissioners, owe to them some considera
tion. Don't allow the petty jealosies of a few to guide you in this the
most important thing that has ever come before you. The rights of a
people is being considered —what are you going to do with them?
There is one thing more that the Beacon and News would
like to call to the attention of the honorable board of Couty Commis
sioners: the Wenona roads. Those people over in the Wenona section
are a part of Washington county and pay their prorata part of the
taxes paid in the county treasure They want a road. 25 of them
went before you. Mr. County Commissioners last.Monday with a peti
tion signed by 97 per cent of the population in that section asking
that you give the road: to some person in that section to look our for.
What did you do? You deliberately listened to them talk and in a
friendly way present their petition and wants and then you deliberate
ly forgot that they existed, or rather there isn’t even any mention
made in the minutes of their having called.
Wenona needs and should have some consideration!
