What Others Say About
Judge Fite
* To The Chattanooga Times:
Your editorial in Sunday’s paper headed ‘Judge Fite Again’ compels me to write you this note
in defense of Judge Fite. J
Allow me to say in the beginning that I have known Judge Fite for a number of years, having
practiced in his courts in I renton, Ga., where I have had the pleasure of trying quite a number of cases
and have been present and heard a good many more tried in which I was not at all interested. I have
been enough in Judge Fite’s court to be able to judge of his ability and fairness as a judge. I never
have been in any court where justice was administered with a more even hand than in Judge Fite’s
court. He is a courageous, honest, upright, able judge. He undertakes to find the truth in every case
and has the courage to declare the truth when he finds it. He is not afraid of any man, any set of
men, and he is not even afraid of the Supreme Court of Georgia.
Judge Fite has been judge of the Cherokee circuit for more than eighteen years, being elected by
the people every four years. If he was the kind of judge The Times would have the people believe
he is, and the Dalton paper to which you refer, don’t you suppose that the people in that circuit would
have found it out long ago?
In conclusion allow me to say that Judge Fite has some pretty active enemies in his circuit. The
opposition to Judge Fite in his circuit is among the people who think him too active in the enforce
ment of the prohibition laws. These are the fellows that do not like him. Judge Fite has the old
fashioned idea that, having taken the oath to administer the law in his circuit, it does not lie in his
mouth to fail to enforce any law. The more Judge Fite is criticised and the more he is opposed the
more strongly attached the people of his circuit are to him.
FOSTER V. BROWN, (Ex-Atty.-Gen. to Porto Rico.)
Hon. Clark Howell, Editor Atlanta Constitution, writing of the recent lynching in Cartersville says:
“Strangely enough, this most recent lynching has taken place within the jurisdiction of a court
which of all similar tribunals in ths state is most noted for its stern construction of the laws a court
of state-wide reputation for giving society the benefit of the doctrine of “reasonable doubt.” If there
is a court in all the state which would promptly and speedily-have tried the criminal whose life should
undoubtedly have paid the penalty of his offense it was that in whose jurisdiction the crime was com
mitted.—Judge Fite’s Court.”
Hon. Thos. J. Simmons, Editor The Macon News.
“Our old friend, Henry Revill, editor of the Meriwether Vindicator, is rather pessimistic in the
last issue of his excellent weekly paper. He jumps on Judge Fite, roasts the Georgia legislature, of
which he was once a member, and then pays his respects to the author of the measure that would ro
tate judges of the superior court.
It is not often that we disagree with Editor Revill. Occasionally we are against him politically
but we must come to the defense of our friend, Judge Fite. The judge is probably the best known
judge of the superior courts in Georgia. Time and again efforts have been made to defeat him in his
circuit, but the people stand by the judge. They believe in his honesty and sincerity. He makes mis
takes like other judges, but they are honest ones.
Judge Fite was one of the first of the judges in Georgia to enforce the prohibition law. He be
gan in 1907 and has put the blind tiger operators convicted in his courts on the chaingang. We fail to
see just why Editor Revill should jump on the judge because he is engaged in a scrap with Judge
Moses Wright, of the Rome Circuit. The judge is merely standing up for his rights and we don’t
blame him. And we are for him because he was the first judge in the state to put the prohibition law
into force. If all the other judges had been as vigorous as Judge Fite it would not have been neces
sary for anew prohibition law in this state.”
What Tom Watson says:
“Ever since the Colquit convention of 1880, I have known Judge Fite. We served together in
the Georgia legislature and have been friends for thirty-six years. While we parted company politi
cally in 1891, he never chimed m with those who vilified and persecuted me. Never was he ashamed
or afraid to show that he was my personal friend. T has given me pleasure to watch his successful
career. He has made a good judge, just as he made good in other positions which he has held Judge
A. W. Fite is a man of decided ability, and as a judge has been independent, honest and impartial and
into his condidacy for re-election he carries the best wishes of The Jeffersonian.
