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.
