Tho bill introduced by Repre
sentation Duggan providing for
the election of Judge and Solici
tor of the city court of Sandors-
ville by the people was reconsid
ered by the senato Committee last
Monday and recommended to bo
passed with an amendment which
allows the people of the county to
vote on the question of ratifying
the bill in the October general
election. In other words, the
chnngo will not go into effect un
less the people desire the privilege
of electing the judge and solicitor
by the people instead of having
tho governor appoint them, ns is
now the law.
The proposed bill to be voted
for or against, provides that the
old law be amended so *ns to al
low tho people to elect the Judge
and Solicitor and that the terms
of tlieso officers be lengthened to
four years instead of two as at
present. It also provides for
quarterly terms of the court with
descretiou in the .Judge to hold
special terms at other terms if
desired.
The first two provisions were
vigorously opposed by a large
number of citizens und letters
from many prominent citizens
were mailed to the Representa
tives, it is said, by both sides.
Representatives Walker and
Duggan agreed to ask tho senate
to leave the whole matter to the
people and they will vote on it in
October. The election promises
to be a vigorous and warm one
and will be more uncertain be
cause of the large numbers of
negroes to vote on it .
Tho election of the city court
officers will be a new feature in
the general elections of our coun
ty, if the bill beebmesa law and
will add now interest and excite
ment to the local elections.
If the bill is ratified in October
the candidates will be voted for
in the November National (“lec
tion, so that the campaign will
be a very short one, and without
time for a canvass of tho county
and the officers elected will begin
their service a year later.
People are already tnlki-ng of
the election on the question of
ratification of the proposed law
and it issnid some hard work will
bo done for both sides of that
question without reguard lor t he
preferences of tho voters for the
officers of the court.

their three score and ten years.
May the Lord bless the result#*
