Taylor Co. Bar Asso.
Pays Tribute to the Late
Judge C. F. McLaughlin
At Butler Court House Thursday
Members of Local Bar Hold Meeting
Afternoon.
Preceding adjournment of the
Taylor County Superior Court Thurs
day afternoon an impressive memo
rial service honoring the memory of
the late Judge C. Frank McLaughlin
was held at the local court house.
The service was sponsored by the
County Bar Association of which
Hon. Walter E. Steed is president.
After several impressive talks by
members of the local bar and Judge
George C. Palmer the following
Resolutions wer e adopted and order
ed to be spread upon the minutes of
the court and a copy be furnished
to the Butler Herald for publication.
The Resolutions as adopted are as
follows:
On April 10, 1940 death created a
vacancy on the bench of the Taylor
County Superior Court in the un
timely passing of the late Hon. C. F.
McLaughlin.
Now at this regular October Term
1940 of Taylor Superior court, the
first term in 1C years, with few ex
ceptions, that Judge McLaughlin has
i not presided over this court, we the
! members of the Taylor County Bar
cease our thoughts of litigation and
business and pause briefly to revere
and honor his memory.
I Judge McLaughlin was born in
Meriwether County, Georgia and ob-
! tained his legal education and train-
i ing at Mercer University. After com-
| pleting his course he was admitted to
j the bar and practiced his profession
j in Harris eounty where he served as
Solicitor of the City Court for sev
eral years.
In 1909 Judge McLaughlin moved
to Columbus, Ga., and continued the
private practice of law until 1917
j when he was elected Solicitor Gener-
| al of the Chattahoochee Circuit. He
served as Solicitor General of this
Circuit six years then resigned and
was elected Judge of the Superior
1 Court, which position he held until
] the date of his death. He was 58
years of age .
His equipment for an ideal Judge

the building was saved, but 26
[bales of cotton in a box car were
I tarried to safety. An empty box car
I too near the burning building when
I ire was discovered, was destroyed.
Mr. Andrews said today that he
I »ould rebuild. The building was par-
[ tally covered with insurance.

Presentments by Taylor
County Grand Jury
For Oct Term Court
Committee Finds Books of jCounty
Officer<) Neatly Kept and in Good
Condition.
GEORGIA—Taylor County:
General Presentments of the Grand
Jury at the October Term of Taylor
Superior Court, 1940.
We, the Grand Jury, selected and
sworn for the October, 1940 term beg
to submit the following General Pre
sentments:
The committee appointed to ex
amine the books of the Justices of
Peuce reports on the following: W.
G. Hill, E. C. Gholson, J. B. Amer-
son and M. J. Trapp. They were
found neatly kept and correct.
The commitee appointed to ex
amine the books of County Officers
found the books neatly kept and in
good condition in So far as short
examination could reveal. In this
connection it is noted that the Grand
Jury of April, 1939 term recommend
ed, also the Grand Jury of October,
1939 term recommended to the prop
er authorities that an annual audit
of the books of the county is made
prior to October term of court and
the audit be presented to the presid
ing Judge and turned over to the
Grand Jury. We note that this has
not been done and this Grand Jury
feels that a business organization as
large as this county should warrant
such an audit for the benefit not
only of the tax payers of the coun
ty, but for the protection of the of
ficers themselves. This audit should
be made by a certified public ac
countant.
The committee appointed to in
spect the convict camp found same in
excellent condition, except some re
pairs should be made to the floor of
the dining room and kitchen.
The committee selected to inspect
public buildings found the jaij in
sanitary condition but in need of a
great deal of repairs. Whereas the
physical condition of the building is
about as good as could be expected.
We also find that the court house
is in good condition and kept clean
with the exception of good many bad
marks on the walls in the corridors
