superior court last oaturaay, out
was postponed until the seconc
Monday in May, at the request of
Gilmer’s attorneys.
In view of the fact that efforts
have been made to create the im
pression that the people of the
county were so deeply interested
in the case as would pack the
courthouse from pillar to dome
when the case was jpalled, the pres
ence of only one citizen, outside of
the court officials, lawyers and
newspaper men, when the case
came up, presents a very amusing
and laughable phase of the situa
tion.
The alleged sheriff and his crowd
should have guarded against this
by having their heelers on hand,
and at least given the case the ap
pearance of having some interest
taken in it, to substantiate the
wild and reckless statements made
in the trial of the case in the news
papers.
But, we guess, the alleged sher
iff didn’t know how to do; in fast,
it is said that this “didn’t know”
business is at the bottom of the
case. Rumors have been afloat
for some time that the alleged
sheriff traded himself out of ev
erything there is in the office, be
cause he didn’t know; and, after
be was installed and found noth
ing coming to him, but that it was
»li going to his deputy, he cried
cut for help; and then his mana
gers appeased his hunger for fees
by filing a suit against the officers 1
of the city court.
In the •" mean time the alleged 1
sheriff is living on hope, and be
seeching the fates to throw
thing his way.
Hon. Dupont Guerry of Macon,

There is a powerful effort, in
