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. Baptist S. S.
