GEORGIA
morning the April term of
ton Superior court was adjourned
since die, 9$ days having been oc
cupied in the consideration of
court business.
Of the 70 civil cases on the cal
endar, about 25 were filially dis
posed of, and of these not more
than six were submitted to a jury.
The first case tried occupied 2^
days, and the next was almost
equally lengthy.
The grand jury acted upon 52
indictmects, sending, into court
29 true bills and 13 no bills.
On the caleudar there were
cases against 29 prisoners. Of
these all but six were called for
trial, resulting in seven verdicts
of guilty, eight pleas of guilty,six
verdicts of not guilty, and one
case nol posed. Six cases were
transferred to the county court.
Of the convictions, nine wero
for misdemeanors and 5 for felo
ny offenses. ,
The heaviest sentence in the
felony cases was 10 years, given
Nelson Howard, charged with
rape. Isaac Dennard’, indicted
for murder, was convicted of un
lawful shooting at another, and
sentenced to 2 years in the peni
tentiary. Clara Philips was giv
en a sentence of 3 years for lar
ceny from the house. Lewis Jefi
ferson was convicted of oow steal
ing, and sentenced to four years
James Hollis,' indicted for assault
with intent to murder, was con
victed of unlawful shooting at
another, and sentenced to 6 years
in the penitentiary.
Lewis Roberts, who shot anc.
killed his wife on Mr. A. A
Smoak’s plantation, was tried for
murder, and received a verdict of
not guilty. His plea that the
shooting was an accident was sus
tained by the jury.
Of the misdemeanor cases the
lowest sentence was six months in
the chain gang, or a fine of $25
The heaviest sentence was against
Willian Everett, indicted for sel
ling liquor in violation of the
prohibition law, He was senten
ced direct to 80 days’ imprison
ment in the county jail, and then
12 months in the Chain gang
a fine of $200.
Negroes'eompletely monopoliz
ed the attention of the court
the trial of criminal cases,
a white person was before
court on a criminal charge.
On account of so many cases
going over, the civil docket of tbe
next term will be much larger
than usual.

.tarmi, at lowest market rates, and on

— * - governing
Hons- iprimary to be held on June 5th,
every person desiring to vote must
register at least 10 days before the
date of the primary, Tuesday,
May 27th,is the last day on which
a voter can regif ter legally. The
primay will be on Thursday.
On last Monday the registration
book at Perry contained only 216
names, but this book is constant
ly open in the Ordinary’s office at
the Court house. If all voters
were required to register in this
book, the vote on June 5th would
be exceedingly light, as a very
great many men would fail to
come to Perry for that purpose.
This inoouvenience has been
obviated, however, and ’ twenty
other books have been sent into
the several districts. There is a
book at each voting precinct, and
one at each other place Where the
Tax Collector made special ap
pointment to collect taxes last
year.
In the book at Perry voters
from all the districts may regis
ter, but in the books at other
places, each voter must register in
his own district.
It is hoped there will be a full
registration, as the primary will
be for the nomination of all state
district, circuit and county of
ficers to be elected this year. The
privilege of voting is a duty that
every good oitizen should per
form.
On Monday the registration in
the book at Perry was by districts
as follows:
Upper 6th, 18; Lower 5th,, 8;
Sixth, 8; Ninth, 12; Tenth, 21;
Lower town, 92; Upper town, 80;
Lower 11th, 1; Upper 11th, 2;
Twelfth, 2; New 18th, 6; Old 18,
6; Lower 14th, 5; Upper 14th, 5;
Total 216.
