No Election for Commissioner.
The removal of Hon. T. A.
Periy to Decatur has caused some
comment in connection with his
holding the office of County Com¬
missioner of Newton county. Mr.
Perry up to his removal was a
member of the Board of County
Commissioners whose term of of¬
fice would expire next year. The
question under discussion was
whether he is still a member of
the Board and has a right to offi¬
ciate in that capacity? If not a
member would it be incumbent
upon Judge Heard to call au elec¬
tion to fill his place on the Board?
The law is very plain on both
questions. Mr. Perry is no longer
an official of Newton county, his
office being lost when he moved
his residence from this county in
to another.
Again, two of the three commis¬
sioners, which is a majority, re¬
side in the county aud have exclu¬
sive jurisdiction iu all county mat
ters. Sec. 3, of article 1877, crea
ting a board of county commis¬
sioners for Newton county provides
“That said commissioners (or a
majority of them, which shall be a

........
inoss j shall have exc l a sive juris
diction of all matters aud things
appertaining to county property,
county finances, and county mat
tars and affairs of every kind.”
