Is Papa' the Judge
And the Jury, too?
We can’t figure out whether the Hon. D. M. (Papa) Johnson,
elected by the people to the high post of Solicitor General of the
Clayton Judicial Circuit, is making an effort on his important job,
full-time, or if he is more interested in private practice. He is
doing both, and in one case, at least, he is involved up to his ears.
Neither can we figure out whether, in his odd approach to
the office, he also is trying to be judge and jury. Not so terribly
long ago he did something that might be termed unconscionable
in publishing a list of petit jurors’ names, because he disagreed
with their decisions in freeing people he was trying to convict.
Jurors are like umpires; they call ’em as they see ’em. They have
no axe to grind. They are honorable men; citizens just like you
and me serving in the interests of justice.
Anyway, the Hon. Mr. (Papa) Johnson is now playing foot
loose with BARRATRY. He doesn’t want to bring up a case involving
one of his own clients, charging that the Grand Jury already has
nolprossed the case because of LACK of EVIDENCE. ORIGINALLY,
when Papa presented the case to the Grand Jury, there was
ENOUGH evidence for an INDICTMENT. What could have
changed that?
We might remind Papa that, only Saturday, the Georgia Court
of Appeals reversed itself and upheld the conviction of a Macon
railroad union official on a charge of barratry, or the practice of
encouraging lawsuits.
The appeiate court in April overturned the conviction but has
now decided it was WRONG and UPHELD the CONVICTION.
We think that Papa Johnson will have to bring up this bar
ratry suit again, whether it’s his private client or not. We’ll see.
Watch this space next week.

POINT OF VIEW
(Continued From Page 1)
the call of duty.
We know, having talked with other businessmen in possibly
competitive positions, that they, too, are delighted with the decision
of Sears, Roebuck and Company to come to Forest Park.
The great Main street developer, Mr. Dorsey, has always
developed with the ultimate great good of Forest Park in mind.
Now he has been instrumental in bringing us one of America’s
outstanding stores. We say, salud! A Spaniard probably would
say, salute!
Anyway, welcome aboard, Sears! Best of good luck in future
operations. And, we might add, congratulations on your canny
decision to join Georgia’s topflight business area of tomorrow, as
well as today. And we hope we’re hearing it right that Sears will
be one of the key stores in South-Lanta, the great multi-million
dollar suburban city which will break ground in 1964 in Clayton
County.

Notes on
Chiropractic
By Dr. Henry L. Foley
'-a . j
In our modern day of diagnos
ticians, we hear more and
more of a NEW disorder called
“Pinched Nerve”.
Many times a
person has been
bothered for a
seemingly end
less time with
feeling bad. No
particular dis
order, just pain
here and there
until they fi
nally worry so
much they de
cide to go to the
C«»*'
FOLEY
hospital for a series of tests.
After extensive tests, agony
from stress and worry and a
terrific hospital bill, they are
sent home with “you have a
pinched nerve, take some tran
quilizers and rest”.
The patient is back where
they Started. A qualified com
petent Chiropractor could have
saved them all the suffering,
worry and expense. The main
objective of Chiropractic is to
relieve PINCHED NERVES. The
Chiropractor is trained end
lessly and meticulously to do
this job without pain to the
patient.
