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?
