HON. GORDON LEE
HAKES HIS FORMAL
ANNOUNCEMENT.
Bon Gordon Lee has issued a
formal announcement of his can
didacy for re-election to con-
TAKE NOTICE.
We want to impress on our
subscribers who are in arrears
the necessity of settling for their
subscription.
Last week we published a copy
of the new order of the post of
fice department providing that
publishers of weekly newspapers
cannot carry subscribers more
than one year in arrears. A vio
lation of this rule subjects the
publisher of tho newspaper to a
lino of one cent for every four
ounces of mail. *
You will understand that this
is Uncle Sam’s rule and notours;
but we are compelled to observe
this law. There is no way around
it.
Hereafter wo will be compell
ed to discontinue any paper
where the subscriber is a year
behind with his subscription.
The best plan to avoid this is to
pav in advance for the paper.
Do not delay in attending to
this for the rule applies to every
body and tho government has ta
ken it out of our power to favor
any one in this connection.
LEE’S BIRTHDAY.
One hundred undone years ago last
.Sunday was born one of tho noblest,
purest souls that ever came from out
the groat unknown, lived his time
upon this earth then passed again to
“that country from whoso bourne no
travelers return." The south should
cherish tho memory of its heroes.
Each new generation should bo
taught to reverence those who from
18111 to 1805 fought with more than
spiptan courage to preserve invio
late tho sovereignty of tho states of
this union. There Is nothing to be
nshnmed of and everything to swell
the pride In tho conduct of those who
fought for the confederacy, and
wh'nover the birthday of thosouth's
great chieftain comes the poople of
this now south ean well afford to
spend some tiir e In thinking of the
days that aro dead.
Not only ns a soldier and ns one of
t he greatest warriors of tho ages will
history Bpeak of Robert E. Leo, but
as a limn ‘‘gentle as a woman In lifo,
and modest nnd purn as a virgin in
thought,” a Christian gentleman of
the lilghost typo. Ho was tho Inctii-
nation of southern chivalry,and with
duty as Ills watchword wrought
mighty deeds for the admiration of
all the future time.
Tho bitterness of that strugglo has
passed Jawny and only now and
then memory calls to the mind of
the aged, the darkness of those
dreadful years. Never again will
the section he baptized in each oth
ers blood. It is to *,bo hoped that
peace shall rule the north and tho
south as long as tho world shall
stand. Still the children of the south
must know that those principles for
which their forefathers fought were
right. Though by “construction"
federal courts have sought to twist
from Its original meaning our consti
tution and Inject things that never
were Intended to be so understood,
the constitution stands today itself a
living witness to the righteousness of
tlie confederate cause. Champions
of state rights are needed today in
the hails of the national congress
The fato of battle went against the
south, hut with logic, and with rea
son we still must combat the eim
lilies of constitutional liberty. The
hope of our country lies In the south.
Every youth should be taught to ap
preciate this. Tho fires of patriotism
should be kindled in the heart of ev
erv southern boy. The old Ideals of
honor and chivalry, and sublime de
votion to duty must not he allowed
to pass away. It is by the study of
the lives of such men as Robert E
Lee that inspiration can he gained
for the life we must live and the duty
we must do.
gross from tho Seventh district,
and in this announcement he
states that if he is elected for a
third term ho will retire at the
expiration of that time.
Mr. Leo is now serving his
second term and the Seventh dis
trict never had a representative
in congress who worked harder
and more successfully for his
constituents.
Mr. Lee’s announcement fol
lows :
To the people of the Seventh
congressional district:
I am a candidate for represen
tative in the Sixty-First congress,
subject to the action of your
usual nominating primary.
I believe it to be your wisli
that I continue in your service in
order to further advance the pub
lic improvements which I had in
view for the district when I en
tered congress, and which have
been inaugurated with gratifying
results.
1 make no other claim upon
your further suffrage than that
of duty faithfully performed ;the
substantial public improvements
alrendv begun and the reasonable
certainty of others in view attest
the worth and character of the
service I am rendering the dis
trict,
I desire to serve another term
n order that I may finish my
public service with completed re
sults for your permanent benefit.
At the end of this service, I
take this mothod of saying that I
slmll not ngnin he a candidate for
congress, and will retire with the
consciousness of duty well per
formed.
Thanking you warmly and sin
cerely for the confidence and
trust you have reposed in me,and
for the unvarying kindness that
has always been mine at your
hands, I nm,
Faithfully yours,
Gordkn Lkk.

THE PROPOSED CITY COURT.
It is to be hoped that the citi
zens of this county will not pass
over lightly the question of the
establishment of a city court.
To say the least this is a subject
that should receive close investi
gation. In the first place we
must consider whether any addi
tional court, is needed; then
what the costs for maintaining
the court would be and the ben
efits to be derived therefrom.
It is said that there are a num
ber of cases on the dockets of
the superior court which have
been carried over from year to
year. There is every reason to
bdlieve that with the growth and
progress of our county there will
be a steady increase of busiuess
in the courts, for contrary to an
opinion which seems to be held
by some people, the more pro
gressive a community and the
better the financial, condition
the more litigation there is. And
this is natural, for maukiud is so
constituted that there are always
disputes arising relative to prop
erty, and of course the more of-
ea property changes bauds tho
more disputes there will be about
titles, etc., to be settled by the
courts.
As to the cost of maintaining
a city court, there is only odo of
fice iu connection with the court
which carries a salary, and that
is the judge’s office. ThisJJsalary
is paid by the county treasurer
from funds secured by taxation
from the people of the whole
county. Thejvalue of the tax
able property of Paulding is so
large that a salary of, say $1,000
—the Balary is fixed by the grand
jury—would not be felt to an ap
preciable degree by any individ
ual tax-payer. The other offi
cers are paid fees.
In the superior court there are
always on hand thirty-six jurors
drawing pay for each day. In
the city court there are only
twenty-four jurors. So that if
it should be granted that in its
two week’s sessions the superior
court could dispose of all the
business, then it mu it be admit
ted that in those cases where the
city court lias jurisdiction they
can be disposed of at much less
cost than can be done in the su
perior court, for with fewer ju
rors the cost per day of conduct-
ing the court is reduced.
Where city courts have been
fairly tested in counties that are
growing and increasing in wealth
as Paulding county is it has been
found*that city courts actually
add to tho commercial interest
of the county. In a letter re
garding the value of city courts
the judge of the city court of
Dublin, Laurens county, Ga.,
says: “It has been my experi
ence for the four years in
which I have served as judge of
the city court of Dublin, Ga.,
that without the court the com
mercial interest of our town and
county would become stagnant.”
And surely if the iuterest of the
county as a whole is served—even
though the cost were greater—
something could be paid for the
benefit to the county at large.
And it must not bo supposed
that because the court is called
a “city court” that the jurisdic
tion would he confined to Dallas,
for its jurisdiction extends otar
the whole county, and its b^ner
fits go out over the extent of the
county.
Every one realizes that when
ever a move can be made • to
bring about a more speedy trial
of litigated cases this should be
done, for there is nothing that
will so surely add to the prestige
of a community with the outside
world as the fact that in this
commuuity justice is speedily
done, and that there no long
drawn out cases going over from
year to year in the courts.
A city court could at least be
given a trial in Paulding. We
have always heard that “the
proof of the pudding is the eat
ing thereof.” A good way to
prove whether a city court will
benefit the couutry is to give it a
thorough trial.
