Within
there
the. last several week
Before the re-organization of
mnrUi an+iwitv fche..fair association for the 1902
... u i.iT, j • Ai county fair, we desire to suggest a
SfSrtt W production of. the
court of Houston. Judge A. C.
Riley and Hon. J. P. Duncan
were applicants for the appoint
ment. Of course . each of these
gentlemens Used every honorable
means to influence the appoint
ment to his desire. Friends were
active also, and yet the result de
pended upon the judgment,or will
of one man, the governor of Geor
gia.
The condition prevailing during
these weeks has ^caused Houston
citizens to think it would be bet
ter for the county judge to be
elected by the people, rather than
be appointed by the governor.
The service to be performed * is
exclusively within the county and
for the county. No one not a cit
izen of the County is eligible to
hold the position. The people of
the county are better qualified,
than any governor can be to
choose between two or more can
didates. If the people are quali
fied to elect a Supreme court
judge, certainly they are better
qualified to elect a county judge.
As an argument against elec
tion by the people, it is said a
judge should not be under such
obligation to the people as a can
vas for votes must place him: In
answer we would submit that a
favorable letter, in behalf of a
candidate, or the signature to a
petition, creates as much, or more
obligation than would a secret
vote.
Certainly no appointment by a
gqyernor is free of political influ
ence, and often such influence is
exerted by politicians Outside of
the county where the appointee
lives and will perform the. judi
cial duties of the office
When the above was written
the contest in.question had not
been decided. Since then, how
ever, Col. C. C. Duncan has been
appointed judge of the Houston
County Court.
With reference to the contest
we would say that the disappoint
ment felt by the defeated candi
dates is not personal to Col. Dun<
can, but to themselves only.
We understand that Col'. Dun
can w&s not at any time a candi
date for the position, and we nave
head a great many Jay it was the
positive duty of the governor to
appoint one of the applicants,
who had secured and presented^he
endorsements of such a large per
centage of our democraic voters,
thus demonstrating that the ap
pointment of one of them \vas de
sired and that either would be
acceptable to the people of the
county.
The regret that the friends of
Judge A. C. Riley entertain be
cause he will cease to be county
Judge on the 8lst : of December
next, will not in any degree pre
vent them from cordially extend
ing their congratulations to Judge
Duncan, . In Judge Riley the
County court has been presided
over by a correct Christian gentle
man, an able and upright judge,
and we unhesitatingly declare
that the same will, be said of the
worthy jurist and citizen who suc
ceeds him on the County Court
bench.
increase acreage
crops m con
test.
Instead of , or in addition to, a
small premium for best sample
of oats, wheat, rye, corn, cotton,
peas, potatoes, syrup, etc,, let
there be a liberal premium offer
ed for the greatest yield of any or
all of these products on one, two,
three or four acres, as the man
agement may determine. The
conditions, of course, must be
that the land be measured, the
crop gathered and the products
measured in the presence ‘of dis
interested parties.
Whether such premiums be of
fered or not should be determined
as quickly as possible, in order
that farmers may plant oats,
wheat and rye with . the purpose
in’view of making as great a yield
as possible on the acreage speci
fied.
Not only will this largely in
crease the interest in the : next
fair, but the farmers who engage
in the contest will realize much
benefit through the greater atten
tion devoted to the planting and
care of the crops in involved.
At any rate, the farmers should
bear in mind that there will be a
county fair next year, and in all
probability a Houston county ex
hibit at the state fair of 1902.
