whether they are in favor of abolish
ing or amending the City Court, and
the successful candidates will go to the
Legislature under instructions, who
ever they may be. If a majority 7
should favor the abolition of the Court
he would obey their wishes and intro
duce a bill to have it abolished. If a
majority favored amending the Court,
he would do so by striking out the
clause relating to landlords and ten
ants, and taking from it original juris
diction under §100, and provide for ju
ries in all cases. If the people favored
other amendments he would make
them, as it was his desire to make the
Court such an one as they desired. In
his opinion it was best for the county
to amend the law creating the Court,
because, to abolish it, would have the
effect of throwing all business into
the Superior Court. Should this be
done, the Superior Court sessions would
be four instead of two weeks, thus in
creasing the Court expenses and taking
farmers from their business so long as
to seriously damage the farming inter
est. He did not, by his action, give the
county any more Courts than it previ
ously had, but exchanged the old County
Court, which could not be amended
to suit Coweta, for a Court which was
a local one and could be changed when
and how we wished it. While he be
lieved, to abolisli the Court, would,
by increasing jail fees and Superior
Court expenses, also increase taxes, it
was not a matter for the candidates to
pass upon, but was a question for the
people. If they voted to abolish, he
would carry out their wishes. No can
didate could promise more, and no
member of the Legislature could af
ford to disregard the wishes of a ma
jority of his constituents. He had only
sought to give the people a Court in
which they could get their business
transacted and get out of law in a life
time. Before making the change, he
had instituted inquiry and published
notice of his intention thirty qays pri
or to the introduction of the bill. If any
objected, it was their duty to have noti
fied him before he took any further
action in the premises. In the absence
of such objection he had a right to pre

promotions as a reward for his distin

heroism or bravery. He was warmly
