THE MURRAY MM
INJUNCTION MAnER
Judge Fite Satisfied With
Supreme Court Decision
Reversed by the state supreme
court in the Murray county court
house injunction, Judge A. W. Fite,
of the Cherokee circuit, contends
that the contempt proceedings that
resulted in jailing the commissioners
of Murray county are in no wise af
feeted by the decision, according to
reports from Trenton, Dade county,
where the judge is holding court.
The county commissioners were ad
judged in contempt of court by
Judge Fite because they refused to
yacate aiwofflcinl action levying a
special tax in Murray county to de
fray the co6t of the new court house.
Judge Fite is quoted as follows
concerning the decision of the su
preme court, reversing liiiu in the
matter of the court house:
“I think the decision of the su
preme court in the Murray county
court house case under the facts as
they appear of record is correct and
the same is satisfactory to me, but I
am of the opinion that if the court
had known the facts and conditions
as 1 know them and they had ap
peared of record, my decision would
have been affirmed.
“I intended to make an additional
certificate to the bill of exceptions,
but bt oversight failed to dc so.
The fact is, my decision was in the
nature of a compromise and I was
led to believe that it, would be satis
factory to both factions and tor the
peace, harmony and happiness of the
people of Murray county, it should
liaye been satisfactory; and if it had
been, the court house question would
have been settled.
“The decision of the supreme court
in the court house case has no bear
ing upon the contempt case now be
fore the supreme court.” —Atlanta
Journal.
Judge Fite’s attention being called
to the above, he said that it was sub
stantially correct, aud he further said
that lie was quite sure the supreme
court would sustain him the contempt
case.

We end our front page editorials for the present with an announce
ment.
The News has never believed in placing its business affairs before its
clientele, except so far as we believed they might feel concerned. People
are usually as indifferent, alliteratively speaking, to a wail of woe as they
would be to wind of a windfall or the trail of the trashwagon. It will
have been noticed through the years past that we have never “dunned’
our subscribers through our columns, as some papers have. We have al
ways believed these appeals carried with them an unpleasant air and bet
ter business method was found in the direct business-like statement mail
ed out in envelopes.
If there are troubles, light or great, the average person has enough of
these of their own. Besides the reader wants to get legitimate reading
matter, for which he feels he is paying.
Two months ago we sent to each subscriber that was not up to date
or near in payment a statement of the turn in the affairs of the paper—
without going into detail —its affairs going into a receivers hands. Ihe
editor was made receiver.
We did not urge subscribers to continue their names on the list, but
said we would appreciate such action on their part, and tried to assure
each one that the turn in affairs did not necessarily mean a discontinuance
of the publication of the paper, as we were able to view the situation in a
way that made us feel sure that there would he a way out of the difficulties.
The truth is, like other papers, we got a little behind financially, but
not to an extent that need have been alarming, but one or more of our
creditors got ultra urgent to an eqtent that led to a levy on our plant.
Before we would suffer our plant advertised to be sold as old junk, appeal
ing to the average man without a distinct use for it as about the value of a
pile of brickbats, we took the nearest cut to the place where we could get
our breath and save ourselves and give those we owed —the leniently dis
posed as well as the exacting acting—one hundred honest cents on the
dollar.
Negotiations were early on several offers, but we took up the one that
was most available and most readily appealed to us, the disposition of an
interest and the bringing into the business of new blood.
We will make further announcement on this line later, but suffice it
that the News goes on and contemplations now obtain of a rehabiiition,
with such improvements as are deemed necessary to i live extending busi
ness.
, Right here we want fo thank those subscribers who, advised fairly and
honestly of the situation, paid up their subscriptions and let their names
remain on our list—there was a mere handful of discontinuances —show-
ing thus that they believed circumstances were not likely to cause them to
miss getting value received by so doing and showing a refieshing loyalty
and beautifal interest in a time-honored euterprise that has stood for so
much in the way of progress and the advancing of the people’s interests.
There were also proffers of substantial financial aid.
The advertisement of commissioners’ sale running in the last two is
sues of the paper was allowed insertion not because it might not have been
left out —affairs having so far advanced to a culmination that the change
was a certainty—but we wanted to run the advertisement, bv mutual con
sent as a legal safeguard in a reorganization. It does not appear this week
and now the business of the paper will go on with no interruption.
It is well to announce that the News office has been moved to the
corner of East Main and Wall streets and the best we can do in straight
ening up, it will take us several weeks to get the shop in good shape
and our machinery in working order.
