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.
