Criminal Cases Held
Wednesday And
Thursday
Wednesday morning many |
criminal cases were called for t
trial but only eight were present
and ready for trial. A report on
these will be given in next week's
issue of The Times.
Before Court was officially
Qpened Hon Henderson Lanham
our Representative to Congress
from the 7 th Congressional
District was introduced and gave
a very short talk. Representative
Lanham spent two days at the
Court House this week so that
he would be available to any of
us who wanted to see him.
The lirst cases to come before
Judge Paschall were two dif-
! charged with drivU^derThe
I influence of liquor. The Judge
| gave each a stern warning and
both were fined $75.
The continued cases against
Harry Hester and A. J. Carroll
for not complying with the
School Attendance Law were
quickly disposed of, as the Visit¬
ing Teacher reported the child¬
ren were attending school regu¬
larly. i
The first case called which !
needed a Jury was J. B. Hicks
vs. Charles Page. Page was 1 j
charged with assault and at-
tempted murder. It diffi- '
was
cult to assemble -a jury From
the first 12 men called six were
excused either by the state or
the defense. From the second
jury called there were only four
Jurors left when the lawyers i
got thr'Ugh. From the third 12
called, eight were excused be-
fore the necessary two more
were feund satisfactory.
j The witnesses were called, „ , I
j sworn in and excused. J. B.
Hicks was the first person call¬
ed to the stand. He gave his
story and witnesses Ralph Blan-
sit, Dr. D. S. Middleton, Mr. J.
H. Wilkins, Pat Gifford and
Raymond (Sol) Daniel were
called in turn. Charles Page
then took the stand and told
his story. Later Mrs. Hicks and
Mrs. Blansit were called for
testimony. At this point the
Judged adjourned Court for din¬
ner. Court came into session
at 1 o’clock, the lawyers pled
their case for Mr. Hicks and
Charles Page ; the Judge charged
j uro rs, they retired, returned
about two hours later with the
verdict of, “shooting at another
man,” which brought a sentence
of from one to two years, against
Charles Page.
The next case to be called:
MJohn M. Cox brought suit
against b " husband, Mr. John
M Cox f non support. This
w;s a very olorful episode, with
Mr. Cox pleading his own case
as he had i ’awyer. The Judge
told Mr. Cox that he, Mr. Cox
“was a pretty good lawyer ”
The case c led with Mr. Cox
still paying .he alimony to the
child. The case will be reopened
in the next term of court. The
court closed Wednesday evening
slid debating on Mr. Johnny
Crumley’s case.

Dedication Services At
Davis High School
The building to be Davis High
School was formally dedicated
Sunday afternoon. This new
building is constructed on the
sight of the old building which
burned several years ago. The
base is of the same beautiful
stone of the original building
and the rest has been construct¬
ed of concrete blocks. Enough
of the school has now been com¬
pleted so that all of the 500
children have been moved out
of the baracks and are attending
classes in the new building.
An inspection tour was made
by those present before the Dedi¬
cation Service.
The service was neld out in the
open in a still uncompleted part
of the school.
On a platform on the east side
shaded by the wall of the build¬
ing. About 75 people who are
interested in the rebuilding of
the Davis School listened and
poined in an inspiring Dedi¬
cation Program.
The program was opened by a
song, “Georgia Land’’ Mr. Law-
'son, the new principal gave a
brief history of the beginning of
the consolidated school and why
h was named for Dutton Davis—
Rev. W. M. Bayne gave a most
uplifting and bouyant devotional.
This was followed by the song;
Praise Him! Praise Him! and the
dedicatory speech by Mr. T. J.
Lance, District Supervisor of
Georgia Schools. Mr- Lance told
us that 10 years ago that there
had been ah appropriation of one
million dollars ih tne State Bud¬
get for schools, last year the
budget was 37 million and this
year under the minimum Found¬
ation Program the schools were
asking for 83 million. Under
the present State set up there
were no funds to assist the
counties in a building or ex¬
pansion program and part of this
this 83 million would be set aside
for this purpose, “this is a lot
of money,” he told us, “we think
of Georgia as a poor state but
do you know that the people in
Georgia spent 127 million dol¬
lars on liquor, cigarettes, cos¬
metics and other luxuries last
year?” Mr. Lance also told us
that Davis had 500 pupils this
year 100 of whom were High
School pupils. This gives Davis
enough enrollment to be eligible
to be an accredited High School
and he urged those interested
in the school to try and get on
the accredited list as soon as
The program closed with the
singing of Onward Christian
Soldiers, the Davis High School
Mater and a prayer by
Rev. Bayne.
