COUNTY COMMISSIONER

IF YOU WISH TO KNOW SOMETHING OF IMPORTANCE ...
READ THIS!
Having served as Clerk of Superior Court for more
than 30 years, I know something of its procedure, in
cluding the operation and importance of the Grand
Jury.
At the February Term, 1962, of Clayton Superior
Court, the gentlemen named below were sworn as
Grerd Jurors, and selected Mr. Cary H. Webb, of
College Park, as Foreman. Among other duties it is
the duty of the Foreman to name committees to con
duct investigations of county properties, operation
of county offices, etc. He named a committee of Grand
Jurors to investigate the office of Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues composed of Messrs. J. Horace
Lester and G. C. McMlchen of College Park, J. R. Cole
man of Jonesboro. In addition to these three gentle
men he placed Mr. M. M. Buice, whose name is not in
the Grand Jury box, and of course not a member of
the Grand Jury, on this committee.
Never during my tenure as Clerk of Superior Court did
this happen and this is the only time that I have ever
heard of it happening in Clayton County. A Grand
Jury foreman may ask for outside assistance when a
person possessing certain skills, like a physician or
Certified Public Accountant, is needed to assist and
advise, and when these skills are not possessed by
members of the Grand Jury.
After many weeks of investigation, the report of this
committee did not become a part of the Grand Jury
records according to Mr. Joe B. Mundy, Clerk of Court.
Since the operations of the Grand Jury is secret, I
have no way of ascertaining why the report was not
made a part of the record. Mr. Buice used the knowl
edge gained to file five different law suits in Clayton
Superior Court against the County Commissioners, the
Supt. and Asst. Supt. of Schools, the Clayton County
Board of Education, the Clayton County Water Au
thority, the Clayton County Planning and Zoning
Commission and others. These suits were filed mainly
for embarrassment to the people sued and brought un
told unfavorable publicity to our county state-wide.
Each of these law suits was dismissed by the Courts
whenever hearings were held as having no merit and
presenting no cause of action.
Mr. Buice, though having no special skill qualify
ing him to act as a specialist on a Grand Jury com
mittee, has developed a great skill in filing law suits:
On April 19, 1958, a referendum called by Hon. E. Tarp
George, Hon. Belton C. Haynie and Hon. Terrell A.
Starr, County Commissioners, to get the sentiment of
the people about the sale of beer, resulted in an over
whelming verdict of the people against the sale of beer
in the County. Despite this expression of the people,
Mr. Buice filed a suit against the Commissioners in an
attempt to force them to issue him a license to sell
beer. The Court held in favor of the Commissioners
on Jan. 9, 1959.
Court costs in excess of SIIOO.OO is due the county and
its taxpayers on the five suits filed by Mr. Buice. In
addition to these unpaid court costs, attorney fees in
the amount of several thousand dollars, which was
your money, has been paid for the defense of the de
fendants. My opponent, Mr. Webb, is due a portion of
your thanks for this, for his appointment of Mr. Buice
to the investigative committee helped create these
unfavorable conditions.
Mr. Buice did not let Mr. Webb's faith in him prove
to be unjustified: For several months before our
County Democratic Executive Committee set the date
of our County Primary Mr. Buice visited different sec
tions of county telling various ones "I hear that Cary
Webb may run against P. K. Dixon”. Floating of trial

balloons is an old stratagem: tell the people of a prob
able candidate and get their reaction. In this case the
reaction must have been slow, for in Mr. Buice's paper,
the Clayton County Journal, big headlines appeared
on the front page of the issue of Jan. 8, 1964 pro
claiming that "Mr. Cary H. Webb is considering run
ning for the position of Chairman of Commissioners
of Roads and Revenue", and, contrary to Mr. Buice's
expression of impartiality in the operation of his news
paper, the last paragraph said "Many people will wel
come his candidacy”.
I believe in a candidate offering for office on his mer
its, rather than being a party to an act of using a
position of responsibility, dignity and prestige for the
purpose of furthering the nefarious scheme of tear
ing down someone and bringing your county into dis
reupte for the purpose of political gain.
The information used in this article is true and can
be proven. I want you to learn the facts and then vote
your convictions on April 4th. I have been criticised,
sued and persecuted for over two years. I have a st'
combination of forces arrayed against me and 1 iL
only be as strong on April 4th as the people of < i
county who believe in good government want me io
be.
I have great faith in our people. All they need is the
truth.
