Atlanta, Ga., May 26.—The $50,000
damage suit of Judge C. G. Jones
igainst twenty-seven defendants,
which has been occupying the atten
tion of Judge Reid’s court since last
lay, has developed into one of the
most sensational litigations that has
been before the courts of Fulton coun
ty in a long time.
Judge Janes is suing for $50,000
damages for an alleged libel, claiming
Close I *Hat * ,e waH libeled by a set of resolu
tions which were adopted at a mass
meeting in Douglas county, and which
he alleges, was attended by the twenty
seven defendants. The resolutions
have been introduced in court and
they are decidedly peppery.
The whole affair has grown out of
politics and an effort has been made
to show in court that there are two
factions in Douglas county which are
at dagger's points. Judge Janes was
tiled upoh to decide a contested elec
tion and the faction against which he
eeided held a mass meeting and it
• as at this meeting, Judge Janes
barges, the defendants passed the res-
lutions which he says were libelous.

tor General C. II. Brand has filed a
bill of injunction against the county
commissioners and a temporary bill

sell, restraining the county commis-
ioners from letting out the county’s
misdemeanor convicts to one Jarrell,
of Oglethorpe county.
The bill of injunction, which is quite
xcept it is stated I lengthy, sets forth that the contract
come up J which now exists between the said
d will be Jarrell, of Oglethorpe county, is void,
inasmuch as it is not in writing, as
in tho provided by law, and again that the
letting out of the misdemeanor con
victs to the said Jarrell causes a loss
of several hundred dollars annually to
Gwinnett county. Under the contract
with Jarrell the county only receives
$7.50 per month, or $90 per annum for
its convicts, whereas the bounty can
let its convicts for the sum of $12.50
per month, or $150 per year, thereby
causing a saving of $60 per year per
convict. It is further stated that if the
convicts are put up for the highest and
best bidder $15 per month or $180 per
year might he obtained, thereby sav
ing or bringing into the county treas
ury $90 per year for each convict more
than is now being brmigty, into the
county under the present lease or con
tract.
There are now ten persons under
sentence to serve in the chaingattg for
terms ranging from six months to
four years, and upon these, at $12.50
the county can save $600 for the first
injunction, and he stated that he had
nothing further to say only that he
had brought this action as Solicitor
General and as a citizen and tax pay
er, because lie did not think it was
right in .either case that the county
should lose all the money that should
rightfully go into its treasury.
he above issue which has been
raised means a great deal for the coun
ty, and the people generally will await
i much interest the hearing of the
injunction which Judge Russell has
•t for the September term of court.
