Local Legislation iij Newton
County.
Notice is hereby given of inten¬
tion to apply to the Geueial Assem¬
bly of Georgia at its next regular
session for the passage of a bill to
to be entitled, an Act to make it
unlawful for any person or persons
to sell cotton in the seed from
September 20th to December 20th.
An Error Corrected.
There appeared in The Enter¬
prise of June 29th, a small notice,
ia which the printer made a small
error, aud owing to the relation
and meaning of the word, did not
sound right. The word “evil was
used instead of “events. 11
This occurred in the notice con¬
cerning “Special Sermons For
Summer Sabbaths at Baptist
Church.”
The paragraph should have read:
«« Six Great Events in the Life of
Jesus* and Their Meaning to the
World.”
We make this correction gladly
and hope that the Pastor will par¬
don us for this little error which
destroyed the sense of the article.

train oi; the London Southwestern
Railway jumped the track near
London Sunday morning, killing
twenty-three passengers and
wounding many others, The
wreck was one of the most com¬

ot English railways.
Most of the passengers were
from New York and eastern cities,
and who were bound tor European
points on their summer vacations.
The steamer New York had land
ed at Plymouth, and the passen -1
gers had debarked and boarded the
ill-fated train. Among the New
York’s passengers was Mayor Me
Clellnn of New York, and but for
the pleadings of his wife for him
to remain with her on the ship,
would have been a passenger on
the train.
^ of tfae victims of the
wreck were wealthy and well*
j. nown Americans. No cause has
beeu assigned for the wreck.

To Abolish County Court.
There is running in The i
now
Enterprise a notice that a >»i
will be introduced into the pres¬
ent session of the Legislature
abolishiag the County Court of
Newton county and at the same
time creating a City Court.
We wish to say that we are hear¬
tily in favor of this hill; we be¬
lieve that the City Court will serve
the interest of the people better
than the County Court, provided
it contains a clause prohibiting
the misdemeanors from demand¬
ing indictment by the Grand Jury.
It is understood by soinp,
though not settled upon by those
in charge of the bill, that the
Judge and Solicitor of this court,
should the bill become a law, be
elected by the people.
We are also in favor of this
clause. At one time we were op¬
posed to such legislation; voted
against that amendment when it
was before the people, but in that
the election of all the officers by the
people is now the policy of the
Democratic part}’, and the policy
of the party by the command of
the people, we are in favor of the
will of the majority.
Again, it often occurs that the
appointment is made of some per¬
son in a county simply because
he happened to support the win¬
ning candidate for governor. We
think to have these officers elected
by the people would entirely re
mQVe coun jy officers from state
Htics Ifitwou | ddo this we
wouW be entirely sflt j s fi ed .
We understand that the bill will
have the iinaiiiin-ui
support of the Newton county bar;
if this be true it will no doubt be¬
come a law. Anyway, so far we
have heard of no active opposi¬
tion.

of it would produce one aud one

Mr. Hardeman is one of New¬
