JUDGE SPENCE PRESIDED.
At Terrel! Superior Court Last
Week.
(From Dawson. News.)
Terrell Superior court con¬
vened last Monday morning with
Judge W. N. Spence, of the Al¬
bany circuit presiding. Judge
Sheffield held court for Judge
Spence last week:, and the latter
came to Dawson in exchange of
judicial courtesies.
The grand jury was organize!
with R. L. Melton as 'foreman, J.
I, Howell secretary and J. N.
Cook bailiff. The court’s charge
to this body covered the statutory
grounds, and was delivered in a
clear, concise and jiapressive
manner. The pernicious practice
of carrying concealed weapons
and the tax dodger received par¬
ticular attention, and the grand
jury was urged to indict the for¬
mer, whoever he may be, and to
see that the property of the latter
is made to share its part of the
tax burden.
The work of the court has been
given to civil business, but the
criminal docket may be taken up
Wednesday. There are three or
four murder cases, and court may
extend into next week.
Judge Sheffield is expected to
arrive tonight, and preside dur¬
ing the remainder of the session.
Judge Spence has conducted
the court in a manner that has
■won the approval and esteem of
the people and the bar alike. Uni
tardily courteous, firm and clear
in his decisions, and despatching
-the business as rapidly as it can
be done with justice to all parties,
he has made a very favorable
impression, and will carry with
him to his home the good wishes
of # all bf our people.

To Cut South’s Representation.
Congressman J. Warren Keifer,
from the seventh Ohio district,!
former house of speaker representatives, of the national is said | '
to be preparing to try and reduce
the South’s representation. He
says:
“All I contend for is equai vot¬
ing power in all the states in elect¬
ing members of the house of rep¬
resentatives. and in electing a
president of the United States, i
This eqnaliiy of right should be
conceded; and no principle of
generosity to the south require.-
any such surrender of a funda¬
mental principle of our form of
government. With election laws
in substantial accord in all states,
and with the natural tendency to
prevent restriction of the elective
franchise, population, without re¬
gard to race, is a fair rule for de
termining equal representatidn.
“A just rule of representation
should be found, and great care
be taken to avoid the pos¬
sibility of doing injustice to any
state, and whatever rule ia adopt
ed must be applied north as well
as south.
“If the states south insist in
disfranchising ihe colored race*
and certain of the white race, the
few therein who gather to them¬
selves and for all officers, should
not assume that by their acts of
disfranchisement they have been
casting upon themselves the
rights and powers taken, right¬
fully or wrongfully, from other
citizens of their btates, when their
doing so results in giving them a
greater voice in the government
of the United Btates than their
fellow citizens of other states of
the union possess.
“The time is past for claiming
that to insist on a voter north hav¬
ing an equal voting with a voter
south is an attempt to raise the
race question, and to thereby in¬
cite the colored people south to
commit violence, or that a de¬
mand for such equal power is an
attempt to bring about social
equality between the white and
colored races.
“If violence is incited, it is by
reason of the disfranchisement,
not because the north demands
equality, voter for voter, with the
south.
“Social equality never belong¬
ed to the exercise of political
rights, and it never will.”
“It is said the people south do
not vote because there are no
cont-'-sts in many -places. The
lack of fair contest in electing
members must be charged to dis¬
franchisement by law, or o ther
methods, It was not formerly so,
as we have seen. The natural
desire of every citizen is to exer¬
cise the high privilege of voting,
and there is always some grave
reasons for his not doing so.
“The constitution and laws of
disfranchising states are widely
different, though in general adop¬
ted in each state to accomplish
the same end. This makes the
question of fixing congressional
representatives very difficult, but
being difficult is no reason why
it should not be done at all.
“It being clear that the right of
many male citizens of proper age
to vote has been denied or abridg¬
ed, it remains for congress to do
its duty by enfoicing the four¬
teenth amendment, as well as the
other provisions of the constitu¬
tion, especially as its enforcement
will result in the equality in rep¬
resentation in the house of the
representatives and in equality
of the voter, and in the election
of the president.

Clear-Cut And Sensible.
Colonel J. H. Eatill, one of the
several eminent and ambitious cit
izens who have taken time by the
forelock and announced that they
would like to become governor
of Georgia two and a half years
hence, in a statement given to
the newspapers taaes a sensible,
clear-cut position on one ques¬
tion that will appeal strongly to
the plain, sturdy people of the
state who do not believe the pres
enoe «f bayonet and rifle at the
court houses is necessary to the
preservation of order and the en
foreement of law in this peaceful
and enlightened commonwealth.
He says:
“I do not believe in sonding
any troops into any county in
this state until the civil authori¬
ties have exhausted every avail
ablq,means of maintaining peace
and order whicn they have local¬
ly at their command, and until it
is absolutely necessary to prevent
riot and bloodshed. I favor the
enforcement of the law, but i f
should be enforced by the civil
authorities, and when the civil
authorities are defied and there
is no question but that without
the aid of troops citizens will be
killed, then only would l send
troops. The maintenance of law
in the several counties where
there are enough white people to
enforce the law should be left to
the people of those counties. I
won’t send any troops into any
county for the purpose of overaw¬
ing the people of the courvty. Our
young men are not policemen or
constables. It is far from being
the province of a soldier, but if
the necessity arose, under the
circumstances I have named, I
would send troops in such force
as to insure the restoration or
maintenanceof peace and order.”
