D. president of the company, The ceremonies 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 sume that he was carrying out their He had advised with several Among the visiting members of the press we noted the presence of Col. P. T.

We did not see but two in dividuals during the day who appeared to be under the influence of liquor, and they were obviously victims of mis placed confidence.
