NEW YORK. N.Y.
MAYOR J J. SEfiY
Has telegraphed Goa. Atkin
son His Services.
WILL RAISE A BATTERY
- ——>— .. 1
And Re-organize The Old Cher
okee Artillery. .
Upon the receipt of a copy of
the president’s proclamation,
calling for 75,000 more volun
teers, Mayor John J. Seay of
this city, as brave an old vet as
ever wore the gray, promptly
wired Governor Atkinson ten
dering his services and asking
permission to raise an artillery
company.
Capt. Seay would have but
little trouble in securi ig the
number of men necessary for a
battery, as every one who knows
him and has the slightest in
clination to go to the front,
would be delighted to serve un-
I der him.
The president’s call was made
yesterday. The call is for 75,000
volunteers making a volunteer
1 force of about 200,000 troops.
The war department will notify
Governor Atkinson at once,
naming Georgia’s quota and
specifying the number of men
wanted for the different
branches of service.
It is believed that Georgia
will be.asked for from 1500 to
2000 men a.id should there be a
call for one or more batteries
I Capt. Seay will doubtless be
commissioned to raise one of
them. The Rome battery, in all
probability will be called the
Cherokee artillery.
fl BYRD’S EYE VIEW-
If, because there is no law
providing for the payment of a
just claim against the county,
and the county commissioners
pay said claim—if said payment
is illegal and the payee should
i be made to disgorge —then, oh
my countrymen ! What is there
that the Featherston board has
.nut done ?
*
* *
Now, understand me, I have
•‘slung no mud” neither have I
la “slime pool,” nor do I believe
I I have “a right to drag I'’ 1 '’ people
into “slime pools.” I have from
the first took the high ground
that “the laborer is worthy of
his hire.”
* * *
*
I have also contended from
•the first that the “reformers”
were not sincere in their cry for
“reform” —that they were only
a combination of office-seekers
and pie-hunters.
*
•w *
11l the desperation of their
condition they opened a cam
paign of mud-slinging and un
covered their “slime pools” and
proceeded to try to drag down
faithful officials.
* »
*
Through their organ they
search back to April 4, 1894.
From then until now they bring
forward nothing because since
that mare’s nest was discovered
they have been able to discover
not even a suspicion of anything
wrong.
. * *
*
They had to have something
about which to raise a shout, lor
their political condition w..* un
done. Their “reform’ leaders
had tried and utterly failed to
place a favorite supporter in the
clerk of court office.
* *
They had failed all along.the
I line, to st cure p uni l , h v strat—
|egy, .-nd found the p ■; le were
i well pleased with the faithful
| services of honest, efficient and
I courteous public, servants.
•* *
*
This condition would never
do. They found’an organ in the
morning paper, it having just
lost the city’s priming, and they
opened up by c tiling on county
officials to disgorge cert in sums,
. oi money paid them by the com
. oiissioners for sei vices rendered.
*
* *
Thej told the people they had
been robbed and said that two
thirds of the boodle had gone to
the sheriffs and clerk’s offices.
(They ref iso to tell where the
1 1 “uthci I.' 1” weal to )
* *
*
‘These faithful officers were
I;. I ].l ii :o oi.atf.s” and job
bers” 1 I “boodlers” and were
called upon to “dis_ r
all this because the Featherston
‘ board said there, was no law
providing for the payment of
court officers for services render-
■ edithe county.
*,.*
That was • . .
The law failed to provide for
the payment . ’ s dins of
; court officers.
« *
A heinous offense, and be
cause - the '“misappropriating”
I board.’, of the past had construed
the law differently and these of
ficials bad accepted pay for ser
vices rendered from sakl com
missioners then th< sc efficient
officials must step down and out.
* *
*
Now look at the action of the
Featherston board. What has it
done in the way of paying out
| m.mev where the claims are not
j providtd for by law? i
Has it a record?
! " *
] It. cerlaiidv has A record that
Iris '- up today and charges the
I F'athorston board as being pai
t'.'?.ii •■> its vc'v heart. A record
that shows that th rule 'i, ; s been
to construe the law to lit the
case according tithe p'lrlisan-;
ship of the claimant, at least in j
m : t ases.
For evidence to prove this
st dement I cite you to Judge
G orge Harris’ Tuesday article,
also to his communication today
and—if this is not enough and
you want a world of ii, why go
to the records of the board oi
commissioners —or read the
Southern Argus of this week.
