CAN LEGISLATORS
SERVE ON COUN
TY BOARDS?
Interesting case before Su
preme court—Ex-Gov.
Terrell Appears as
Counsel.
From Atlanta Journal Monday.
The question as to whether or
not a member of the Georgia legis
lature may hold a place on a coun
ty school board was argued before
the state supreme court Monday
morning in the case of McWilliams
against Neal et al., defendants in
error.
Not only because of its legal im
portance but also from the fact, as
is alleged, that it has grown out of
a political dispute, the case is one
of the most generally interesting
that has recently been before the
supreme court. Shortly after S. C.
McWilliams, who is a member of
the present house of representa
tives from Henry county was elect
ed, three citizens of the county
challenged his right to retain mem
bership on the county board of ed
ucation, which he had been serv
ing for several years. Mr. McWil
liams made his race for the legisla
ture on the reform platform and it
is from those he defeated that the
opposition to his membership on
the board is said to have arisen.
The superior court of Henry
county held that under a constitu
tional provision, a legislator could
not held any other state office. He
was represented Monday by J. B.
Ridley and Arnold Arnold, while
for the opposition appeared ex-Gov.
J. M. Terrell. This is the first time
that ex-Governor Terrell has plead
ed in the supreme court since his
8
B. B. Carmichael,
J. T. Sowell,
L. O. Benton,
term as governor expired.
There are said to be 33 members
of the present legislature who hold
places on county boards of educa
tion. Every member of the educa
tional committee of the house is
said to hold such a place. The su
preme court’s decision therefore
will be awaited w T ith widespread
interest.
