WOULD ABOLISH OFFICE
OF SOLICITOR GENERAL.
Atlanta, Ga. —Two measures of
state-wide importance and which pro
; pose material changes in the judicial
system of the state have been intro
[ duced in the house by Messrs. Fair
' cloth, of Johnson, and Allen of Up-;
son.
These measures look to the passage ,
of a constitutional amendment to
abolish the office of solicitor general
in Georgia and create the office of
county attorney to represent the state
and county in all judicial matters. It i
is probable that these measures will [
ce threshed out in detail before the
general judiciary committee and the
movers hope for a favorable report
I at this session.
The plan is to elect a county attor
ney in each county, or from an ad
; joining county if no attorney in any
county can meet the qualifications,
who shall serve for a term of four
years.
It shall be the duty of the county
attorneys to represent the state in
all cases in courts of inquiry, city,
county or superior courts and in all
cases appealed from their county to
the court of appeals or the supreme
court and to represent his county in
all civil and criminal business. A ;
person eligible for election as coun
ty attorney must be 25 years of age
i and a resident of the county for two
, years and have practiced law for
three years. He shall receive fees
in lieu of other compensation. He i
must give bond in the sum of $2,500
and if he fails to attend courts as
required is subject to si fine of SSO,
to be paid on the order of the judge
or the superior court.

for examining an applicant for mar
riage license, under the terms of the
measure, and debating the question
for more than an hour, the senate,

: ferlng from certain diseases In com-
I municable stage. The vote on the
measure was 20 to 17 it lacking 3

of 23.
Discussion on the bill developed
many ardent advocates and opponents
It required every applicant for mar

declared ground for divorce, and the
making of a false certificate by a
physician was made a misdemeanor.
Notice was given that a motion to
’ reconsider the action of the senate in
defeating the bill will be made.
