Those who were so outspoken in
their opposition to Lee County after it
was thought to have been established
four years ajjo now have an opportun?
ity to fight the new county movement
in the open if they are of the same
mind as they were about three years
ago. The people of the territory to be
included are the ones most vitally in?
terested and if they want a new coun?
ty they have the right to say so at the
polls and those who are opposed to
the new county but are not resi?
dents of the territory cannot help
themselves.
