FOR THE L_
Establishment Os A Small
Claims Court For
Spalding County
TUESDAY, JULY 29
Think of These Questions.
• Who will receive the benefits of a Small Claims
Court?
Will it be the Judge and his Staff who are
Nominated by the Grand Jury?
Will it be the Merchants and Business Con
cerns who make up the Chamber of Com
merce ?
• Who is promoting the Small Claims Court ?
Is it our Representatives?
Is it a group of Credit Merchants who want
A quick easy way to use a court as a Col
lection Agency ?
• Is SI,OOO A Small Claim?
• Why Should a Small Claims Court be any
Different from other Courts and have an Ap
pointed Judge instead of an elected Judge ?
REMEMBER
• Keep the Justice of Peace Courts where you
have the opportunity to elect your choice of
Judge and Constable.
• The primary purpose of the Justice of Peace
Courts is to do Justice between the parties be
fore it and not to settle Small Claims.
• The fees for the Justice of Peace Courts are
established by the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia.
• A Claims Court will handle Claims County-wide
from one location and on a continous Basis.
(Is this what you want?)
Take your neighbor with you and be sure to vote
“NO” for establishing A “Claims Court”

Maddox Sees
Need To Change
National Policy
ELKTON, Md. (UPD — Gov.
Lester Maddox journeyed here
Sunday morning to address the
Bible Baptist Church and predict
dire consequences unless the
country changes its present
course of national affairs.
Maddox told the congregation
the current outbreak of crime,
unrest on the campuses, and dis
respect for law and order could
be partly blamed on national
leaders such as President Eisen
hower, Kennedy, and Johnson.
But, said the governor, much
of the blame must also be laid
at the doorstep of silent Chris
tian Americans.
“There may be many reasons
why officials in government hold
the position that we cannot teach
there is a God but offer no ap
parent opposition to those who
teach there is no God,” said
Maddox. “But the main reason
is because Christian Americans
have been silent.” <
The governor went on to pre
dict national disaster in 1973 if
President Nixon doesn’t radially
alter the current tenor of na
tional politics.
Maddox said top priority
should be given to a military
victory over “God’s enemies” ir
Vietnam and the termination ol
controls and guidelines on fed
eral funds shipped from Wash
ington to local governments.
