What I do and say in a politi
cal contest, I do as plain George
H irris and am ready to account
for all my conduct, including my
mistakes,'at the bar of public
opinion. Vhy Japt. Feathe -
ston speaks- of iij as Judge Har
ris, in his BTutcle, I know not as
such teim within my knowledge
ias never Heretofore escaped
lis lips, since I have held my
commission. And so far as my
yeing a partisan, it "omes in bad
taste from Capt. Featherston to
charge me with partisanship;
for I defy anyone to show when
ever anybody in public office in ■
? loyd county has shown such
personal partisanship as Capt.
C. N. Featherston has since he
las been a member of the board
of commissioners.
When it came to election was
officers by the present board it
it not a prerequisite qualifi
cation that each candidate
should be a Featherston man
before he was eligible to office?
Was not the clerk of the board,
the county physician, the keep
er of the poor house and the su
perintendent of the chaingang,
who were elected by the present
board, all Featherston men?
Has any attorney of tlie Rome
bar been employed in any capac
ity whatever by ’ the present
board, who was not an avowed
Featherston man? Has any pay
for extra services been allowed
bo any officer of this county since
die present board has been in
dlice, who was not an avowed
Featherston man?
Was not the present county
physician elected at a fixed
monthly salary of twenty-five
dollars? Did not the present
boa"d pay to him sl4 for attend
ing upon a sick juror? In the
language of 82nd Ga., is Capt.
Featherston able to point to a
law that clearly authorires this
expenditure? Did not the sher
iff at one term of the Superior
court serve a special jury after
night at an actual cost to the
sheriff of more than the bill ren
dered therefor against the county
i aud thereby have that jury in
• court next morning, saving to
the county the entire expense ol
■ the Superior court lor that day,
J and was not payment of that bill
J refused? Could anything but
s the purest personal partisanship
