Judge ReagaiFDid Not Like Commissioners Collecting the Fine. GRIFFIN, Ga., Sept. 10.—Fol lowing their refusal to pay the ex penses of holding the City Court of Griffin last week the board of commissioners of revenues and roads of Spalding county have al so raised issue with the Superior court of Spalding covnty. Brawner Strickland, a n egro convict, was recently released from the execution of a twelve months sentence on the payment of SIOO to the board of commis sioners. Judge E. J. Reagan, of the Flint circuit, who heard of the proceeding in open court yesterday ordered Strickland re-arrested and placed on the chaingang, from which he will bo released on the payment of the SIOO to the officers of the court. Following this rul ing Judge Reagan announced that in future Superior court convicts would remain in jail sentence and in event that the specified fines had not been paid at the expira tion of that time the prisoners would be put in the chaingang without the privilege of paying out. This order was issued to pre vent future conflict between the Superior court and the county commissioners. The commissioners will pay the expenses of running the City court last week. JACK.
