OLANTA FIGHTS
NEW COUNTY IDEA.
BOTH OLANTA AND JOHNSONV1LLE
PITTED AGAINST LAKE
CITY FOR COUNTY SEAT.
This committee was appointed bj
a citizen's meeting to visit certair
sections in the territory of the pro
nnspd new countv of Rutledge ir
order to ascertain the sentiment
with regard to the proposed new
county.
At Cowards we found some opposed,
but got the impression that
the majority favored Rutledge.
However, many of this majority
was opposed to-any change, but had
gotten out a petition for a new county,
and that they would be pulled
into that if they did not rally and
make Rutledge Succeed, and naturally
they favor Lake City of the
two as it is more convenient for
them. But we corrected that wrong
impression by assuring them that it
is not now the intention of this section
when it tries to get a new county
to include either Cowards or
Scranton. So we believe that many
of those who were in favor of Rutledge
will now oppose it.
At Scranton almost all of the sentiment
seemed for Rutledge, but
many seemed confident that Scran
ton would get the county seat.
So far as we could learn at Prospect
there is little prospect of Rutledge
getting any votes. There were conflicting
reports with regard to the
Hannah section section of Florence
coanty.
At Johnsonville the sentiment was
strongly opposed, in fact we got
the impression that only two or
three favored the new county proposed
and they only because of business
connections.
It would seem that from the information
that we gathered that
Hymanville and Indiantown are
strongly opposed, but that there will
be a considerable split in the vole at
Vox, Cades and Hebron.
To sum up: The people whom we
met in eastern Williamsburg, almost
to a man, seemed perfectly confident
that it will be impossible to get a
two-thirds vote in that part of Wil
liamsburg which is prooosed to include
Rutledge county. In fact, the
people over there had somehow gotten
the impression that Olanta and
community was working in harmony
with Lake City, but said they were
perfectly confident even under that
impression that the proposition
would not succeed. We corrected
' that wrong impression by telling
them that we were a committee
chosen by the citizens of Olanta for
the opposite of working in union
with Lake City.
Of course there are some in Olanta
who will sign a petition and possibly
vote for Rutledge, but they do
not constitute the majority, and are
not sufficiently strong to attend any
of the several citizens' meetings and
speak openly in favor of the proposed
new county of Rutledge.
Now, we are not fighting Lake
City or any other city, as a city, or
any person as an individual, nor do
we blame Lake City for her ambition
to become a county seat. As
we now see it the best interests of
Olanta and surrounding territory,
especially that to the west, demands
the defeat of the Rutledge proposition.
The same is true of the large
territory east of Lake City. Should!
the proposed Rutledge county succeed
there would be hundreds of
people in the territory mentioned
above who wouM live 25 miles from
a county seat as lens: as they live.
Therefore, it is to the interest of
both of these sections to try to defeat
the proposition, and it is risrht
that they do it if they will do it
justly and honorably. If we don't
do it for our own personal interest,
let's do it for the sake of the major*
ity and future generations.? The
Investigating Committee in Olanta Observer.
