Fulton County Lawyers Ask Gov
ernor to Give Place to an
Atlanta Man.
Persistent rumor that. Judge L. S.
Roan, of the Stone Mountain circuit,
is slated feir the judgeship in the
newly created Superior Court of Ful
ton County has created a stir among
members of the Atlanta bar who
have protested to the Governor, it Is
understood, that an Atlanta attorney
should receive the honor.
Thus far the Governor has given
no indication of the probable ap
pointee, but the general opinion pre
vails that Judge Roan will t*c* the
man.
While Atlanta lawyers are loud in
their praise of Judge Roan and his
recognized abilities, they insist that
the new Fulton County judgeship
f-hould he awarded to a Fulton Coun
ty man. The petition which has been
drawn by the members of the Atlanta
bar in substance sets forth thi con
tention and protests the appointment
of any other than a Fulton County
man as a reflection on the Atlanta
bar.
In anticipation of the appointment
of Judge Roan candidates for posi
tions which will he affected by the
transfer are also showing marked ac
tivity. Charles S. Reid, of Palmetto
Solicitor General of the Stone Moun
tain circuit, it is said, will succeed
Judge Roan on the bench. Aspirants
for the Solicitor Generalship are
carrying on a quiet campaign for tin*
office now held by Reid
Among the members of the Atlanta
bar who are contending that an At
lanta attorney should !><• appointed to
tiie new bench are Shepard Bryan,
Albert Howell, Jr.. General Clifford
L. Anderson and Hollis N. Randolph.
