THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS.
SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 4, 1896
SUPREMEJOURT JUDGES
Will be Hereafter Nominated and
Elected By the People.
The full judicial term is six
years.
Under the constitutional amend
ment just adopted three new judges
will be elected, and also a fourth
judge to fill the vacancy caused
by the expiration of Judge Lump
kin’s term as a member of the old
court. The three new judges will
cast lots to determine which shall
have the short, the intermediate
and long term. One of them will
therefore be elected for two, one
for four, and the other for six
years.
Under the resolution of the
State Executive Committee passed
on the 19th instant each county
will on the 14th of November, in
mass meeting or primary, as th
County Executive Committees may
decide, appoint two delegates for
each representative in the lower
house of the legislature to a con
vention to meet in Atlanta on the
18th day of November, to nomi
nate four candidates for judges as
above stated. The election will
be, by popular vote, on the 3rd
Wednesday in December, which is
the 16th day of that month. Here
after there will be two judges of
the supreme court elected every
two years by the people at the same
time with governor and state house
officers, so as to leave at all times,
four experienced judges on the
bench. Under the new law the
court will sit in two divisions, each
having full and equal jurisdiction,
and when necessary the whole
court will sit together.
W- J. Neel, in Rome Tribune.
A Marietta young man was a
roused from his slumbers the other
night with a noise that indicated
that some thief was at the barn
trying to steal the family horse.
He noiselessly slipped from the
house with his shot gun in his
hand and went out to the lot in
his night apparel to detect the
horse thief. He failed to find him
and came back to the house, leav
ing the back door open, and stepped
into his father’s bedroom to warm,
as the night air had chilled him
through. The moon flooded the
room with its silvery light, and he
turned to go out at the do r, as he
thought, and to his astonishment
there stood a bold burglar in front
of him ready to enter the door.
The young man raised his gun and
as he did so the burglar raised his
arms with a gun ready to shoot al
so. The young man knew he bad
to get in his work quickly or the
burglar might shoot first. So he
pulled the trigger and “bang” went
the gun and the large looking glass
was shattered to pieces. His fath
er and mother were awakened by
this time and there was a scene of
commotion and confusion until ex
planations were made. The load
of shot went clear through the
glass and wall. The young man
had mistaken the mirror for a door
and his own reflected image as a
burglar and the mischief was done.

Columbus To Have a Warm

The murder of three policemen
in Columbus recently by a drunken

high license and a more rigid po
lice control, and will make a
straight fight to abolish open bar
rooms.

Thompson Dead.
News reached Rome last week
that Charles Thompson, who was
sent to the penitentiary from Floyd
a few months ago, was dead. It
seems that he died at the Chatta
hoochee camps about three weeks
ago.

The murder was a most horrible

BIG FIRE INHARTWELL.
Five Stores Destroyed At a Loss
of Twenty Thousand.
Hartwell, Oct. 28.—Five stores
were totally consumed by fire
last night, entailing a loss of $20,-
000, practically covered by insur
ance.
The conflagration was discovered
about 2 o’clock in the morning,
and the alarm was given. The
whole community was aroused,
and bent their efforts to extin
guish it. By heroic efforts it was
confined to one side of the street,
and after several hours gotten un
der control.
The business houses of J. 11. &
P. S. McMillan, D. A. Parrett, H.
B. Webb, Harty & Shifbet were in
ruins.

the entire town seemed doomed.
The origin of the conflagration

the work of an incendiary.
George Brown Dead.
Geo. R. Brown, for a number of
years past solicitor of the Blue
Ridgo circuit, died at the Kimball
House in Atlanta last Wednesday
evening after a sickness of only
one day. His death was very sud
den and unexpected, as ho had
been in usual health. He was a
son of Judge Janies R. Brown and
was prominent in politics in his
section.
There is much truth in the fol
lowing from the Columbus En
quirer-Sun: “The fate of this
groat country does not hinge on a
presidential election. Its resources
are too vast and its industries too
varied for the sucsoss or defeat of
any one party to seriously impede
its growth and progress. Each
faction predicts disaster and ruin
in the event of the success of the
other in the November election,
but Uncle Sam is old enough, strong
enough and versatile enough to
take care of himself under any cir
cumstances.”
Recently a Whitfield justice
manned a young couple. “What
do you charge?” asked the groom.
“The law allows me $2,” replied
the justice. “Well,” replied the
groom, putting on his hat, “I am
glad the law allows you a fee, for
I am not able to pay you anything!
Thank you, sir,” and he left the
astonished justice wondering
where he comes in at. —Dalton Ar
