DECISION OF COURT
ON KNOTTY POINT
EIVE PLEAD GUILTYi
IN LOTTERY CASES
Two Pleaded Not Guilty and
Two Were Not Present
in Court.
TO PRACTICE LAW
Governor Terrell May Open
Office in Atlanta This
Summer.
According to a decision handed down
by Judge Pendleton, of the superior
court, Tuesday afternoon. In a case
where a county haa borrowed sums of
money from two different parties In
two different years, the parties making
the loans have priority claims on the
revenues raised by the county during
the year In which each made the loan.
In eltect, a party making a loan In HO*
ould have a priority claim to the
revenues raised by the county during
that year, over the claim of the party
who had made the same county a loan
In the year 1306.
The rase In which the decision waa
rendered was that of the Jackson
Banking Company against Butts coun
ty. The petitioner alleged that In the
year 1306 loans amounting to |12,-
974.61 had been made the county com
missioners of Butta county. It was
also shown that in 1905 the same com
mlasloners had borrowed about 35,000
from J. V. Wright. The commission'
era of 1907, It was alleged, had re
fused to pay the claims of tha plain
tiff, but had given J. V. Wright an or
der upon George R. Ridgeway, the
county treasurer, for the money bor
rowed In 1905. It waa further
charged that sufficient revenue had
been raised by the county in 1906 to
pav the claims of the plaintiff, but
that this money , was about to be used
to pay the claim of Wright.
An order enjoining the treasurer
from paying the order granted to
Wright by the commissioners was Is
sued by Judge Pendlaton.

OP
Citizens of Suburb Prefer to
Stay Outside City
Limits.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee on city extension held In the
mayor's office Monday morning, a com
mittee of Brookwood citizens was pres
ent to voice the protest of that section
against annezatlon to Atlabta.
Brookwood's objections were set forth
fully In resolutions read at the meeting
by Attorney E. L. Douglas, and which
were signed by many of the moat prom-
inent property owners In that beautiful
section. The resolutions were as'fol
lows:
'We, the undersigned residents and
property owners In the suburb nf the
city of Atlanta, Ga.. known as Brook-
wood, hereby certify our objections to
annezatlon by said city as proposed In
the extension of pie limits of said city,
for the following reasons:
"First. We have only recently Im-
iroved our property and homes In the
luburb, preferring to live out of the
city limits and to enjoy the country life.
"8econd. W* have at our Individual
expense provided sewers, water con
nections and lights for said suburb.
"Third. The county provides better
roads and better police protection than
we have any reason to expect from the
city.
"Fourth. The sanitary conditions are,
or will be, made as satisfactory aa we
esn expect the city to provide.
"Fifth. We believe th# city should
first provide adequate and satisfactory
streets, police protection and sowerage
over the smaller Atlanta before the
limits are extended to embrace our sec
tion.
"Sixth. The city can not afford to
provide schools, ttre anil police protec
tion. streets, sewers, lights and other
municipal advantages for the said sec
tion so thinly populated.
"Seventh. The fact that all, or nearly
all, of the residents In said suburb al
ready pay taxes aggregating a large
annual sum to the city. Is sufficient
compensation for the use of the streets

To constant queries from friend* and

variably replied that he did not know;
In fact, was too busy to worry or think
about It.
From reliable sources, however. It Is
learned that he will In all probability
open a law office here. Whether or not
he will be associated with any of the
