Fourth Volume.
With this issue the News enters
upon its fourth volume. With bowing
and tipping our hat we thank our
former customers and patrons for
their favors and hope, in the future,
to be able to merit a continuance of
the same, and add new ones to our
list. While it is impossible for one
man to please every body we do not
think that we have made a single
enemy through the medium of our
little paper, and if so, we are willing
to make amends for any thing that
we have done amiss. We are glad to
see that our efforts are not entirely
void of appreciation, and can say that
the prospects before us are promising
uit f we (rope to realize our expecta¬
tions and not lie decieved iu our
calculations.

The Penny Local has had an un¬
pleasant visitor, J. 1). Roberts, who
acted deaf and dumb, and said bv
vtiling t'tsl he was from Texas and
wanted help to get home. However,
he was seen the next morning on the
street engaged in a “giggling con¬
versation,” which showed that he was
a fraud, and ought to go l ’ the “only”

DISCRIMINATION.

A review of a term, or session of
the Superior Court A. being a far
tner living in the remotest part of the
iy, j* | K ing n summoned lo appear ii at
the Court House at ten o’clock a. m.
to be sworn a« a Juror lie cannot
afford to take bis horse out of his
farm and board him . the “county
at
site" during tlie term, takes it on foot
and if five minutes too late he is
marked absent and fined forty dollars
but goes in and informs his Honor the
cause of his being late; though lie
would be in time his Honor informs
him that lie should have started the
evening before, as he knew the dist¬
ance and the time he was required to
appear, tells him that it is no excuse,
which is correct and the law should
be enforced for if his place could not
be filled by a talesman the courl
would, pehaps be suspended, for some
time, and the time of the county lost,
as about seventy five Jurors and
lialiffs prehaps fifty parlies and one
hundred witnesses and others con¬
cerned in the business of the court
besides attorney’s from a distance
making 250 persons whose time is
valuable all wanting to dispatch their
business and return to their several
occupations. The “bar” is full Jury
all in parties and witnesses all present
Eleven o’clock and we do not hear
the voice of the Sheriff at the Court
House, meet the clerk and ask what’s
the matter, and is informed that the
Judge has not arrived, suppose he
will come on the one o’clock train or
receive a dispatch to adjourn over
until morning, and at the time ap¬
pointed his Honor arrives deposits his
baggage and walks deliberately to
court house takes his seat orders the
Sheriff to proceed to call the Jury,
perhaps some one supposing he would
be all right in time got “tile" and is
fined ten dollars which is all right.
Hut we never hear even and excuse
from his Honor and every thing goes
on smoothly after perhaps a half or a
whole day is lost to the county. I ask
the question, is he not amenable to
some tjibunal or is he a privilage
charactert because he has a salery
who is able to come on Saturday if he
does not wish to travel on Sunday.
If there is no tribunal to which he is
amenable there should be. Again,
court adjourns to meet at nine in the
morning Juries, parties, and witnesses
standii<’ around the court house
notice that court is in session, all not
having the correct time with his
°
Honor, . informs Juror th;it
sonic one u
he had better » go in, whohurrysin and
ittids the clerk has Just finished cull ,,
ing the list his name is marked, this is
all right as they should be prompt.
Hut suppose his Honor is ten minutes
late all is well; again a case is called
and some motion is made which meets
opposition from the other side and an
apjieal is made to his honor and he is
not prepared to d cide, he does not
turn to the “Code or rules of practice"
but allows couucel to search up au
thorites by •running through many
mtmbers of “Georgia Reports" and
finally finds a simui.tr case which was
decided , . twenty or more years ago . by
the Superior court under some statute
which has been repealed and the
Judges dead or out of office, and after
an hour or |uore being consumed the
time of the country and expense of the
county, he is able to decide the
question which might have been done
in two minutes. If the decisions of
the Suprem court is law what use have
we for any other law making power.
