Paulding Superior Court. The arduous hborsol Paulding Superior court for the August term were brought to a close last .Saturday at noon. There were in .attendance a full bar, composed ,of f leading attorneys from every .Ofty and village upon the jeri- jdiery of the circle aronnd Dallas, besides our own bar. Public ex pectation seemed to have been wrought up,to considerable height by the clmraoter of the cases up- op the crimhial docket, and the August temperature in and out of court room did not have much tendency to .lower the theimome- eter of 'excit ment. Our limited space only permi s us to mention the following cases, not in the or der tLey we e called, but in the order of impoitance and notori ety: There were placed upon i he stand hue a small number of this great array, lmwiver. Col. C D. Phil lips conducted the examination oi the witnesses for the state, aud Col. John O. Gartrell for the de fendant. Each witness was sub mitted to, the closest aud most rigid examination, and the cross was sometimes uncomfortably warm for the unfortunate witness. Sol. "Wright opened the case by reading the bill of indictment to the Jury, and Col. Phillips, in his usual style presented all the facts of the case to the jury, and in an argument of an hour and a half held the Jury’s most profound at tention. He wao followed by Col. John O. Gartrell for the defend ant. Steve Moore, with his faith ful and loving wifo by his side, was present, and not a word was lost by either »s it fe 1 upon the humid air of the court room, Col. GnrtrolTs peroration was fine legal points addressed to the court in his opening asilio line of argument to bo pursued, and his elimination of all the evidonc^ot the opposite side that promised conviction w s m-'sterly, and hi* final blending of the stronger points of i he evidence with the weaker for the defense, and out of the whole proving his client not giiil'y. was said t'> bo by many of iiis friend-* and old patrons pros en', <ne of the best argumon's ev er adduced in old Paulding court house. We have been informed that Col. Thomas W. Milluer’s argu ment surpassed his former efforts at this bar, we regret that wo are not able to give his, nor the clo sing speech of the case by ili-t old Roman, Hon. Wm. H. Dabney,for the prosecution. It is said that Col. Dabney commanded the at tention of everything within hear ing of his rich baritone voice; he ■reviewed all the evidence from first to las', leaving not a poim or feature unhandled, and then fal lowed what was thought by many to be the clearest argument of the caso , presented. The Judge’s charge occupied about half hour, it was said lo be able and impar tial, all the law touching on the case Was fully fxpounded to" the jury, that a wayfaring man might not err in rendering a verdict. Tne jury retired and in an hour or so returned tho following ver dict; We the jury find ihe defendant not guiliy, John Lester, For. The State vs. Marcus A. Brown, We have not the spacy to give the details of this trial. Brown was charged with assault and battery. Verdict of guilty. 1100 and cost or six months in jail. The State vs, J. R. Puckett. Charge. Notorious act of public indecency. Virdict ol guilty, $50 and coBt. it ware of its true stains, it would seem perfectly superfluous to add another soltou. e o the nlron y well ventilated question. Our object, however, is to set forth the facts of the cas - briefly, in order t > show our renders h->w it is pos sible that the ends of tenth, jus- j tice, etc., may often be defeated,! and that too under the protect ing aegis of 1 - w. The former con dition prior to May flth„ 1882 the liquor traffic Was under tho lo ,-ul restriction of ihe gallon system. The election upon the fith of May 1882 resulted in a m jofity in fa vor of re ailing, The 1 ate < lection in tho county resulted in nn over whelming mnjojaty iu favor of re striction again, and many, yea, iv gioat many voting to prohibit alt> gether, The election clearly indicated that the people of Paulding, tired of former usage, and < f the re* proaoli cast upon them, all on account of liquor, had with singu lar unanimity resolved to throw off the shackles of that great evil and come out upon the side of temperance and civility, and so- bernoss of judgment, and in the beauty of all virtue, but what lms been the result? Liquor is here part o! the business of Dallas,"nd its prerogative a part of the con stitution of the town. Of cours" the Legislature ol Georgia olothes a corporation like this with pe culiar p >wers and privlipos. The council lmd a perfect right to fix the license at $1000 instead of $3000, which latter figure should have been the ono. Bui here lieB the question: Has not tho popular will been defoatod? Are not the people still iu favor of prohibition? Have the ends of justice to the inaj- ri y been mot? THE L1QUOK QUESTION. Our views upon the liquor quesiion, so far as it pertains to this county, have been so often set forth in general and pertinent writing in the columns of the Era, and the whole question now hat ing been fully settled, that all are Cholera! . i CHOLERA MORBUS CHOLERA INFANTUM ABIATIO OHOLERA ALL OHOLERA DI8EASE8 YIELD TO THE INFLUENCE OF FerryDavissPunMer The Great Remedy for every kind of BOWEL DISORDER.
