Judge Bush in an interesting

regulations which had been

that the supply of guano used he
reduced in like proportion.

MITCHELL SUPERIOR COURT.
Adjourned Fall Term a Busy
Time.
The adiourned fall term of
Mitchell Superior court convened
on last Monday, with his honor
Judge W. N. Spence presiding.
Hon. W. E. Wooten, the efficient
solicitor of the Albany circuit,
was present to look after the
state’s interest in all matters that
claimed his attention. Col. E.
M. Davis, our prompt and cour¬
teous court stenographer, was in
his place ready for the work in
hand.
The local bar was represented
by Judge J. H. Scaife, Judge I.
A- Bush, Col’s. S. S. and M. C.
Ber.net, R. D. Bush, E. E. Cox,
W. H. Hoggard, B. B. Lane and
H. C. Dasher, Jr., while the vis¬
iting bar was represented by
Col, R. J. Bacon, Jr*- of Bacon
| ton; Col. H. H. Merry, of Pelham;
j Col’s. L. W. Nelson, J. W. Wal
ters, Sr. and J. D. Pope, of Al

Claude Payton, J. H. Tipton and
J. J. Forehand of Sylvester;
Col’s. Sam Hawes and A. E,
Thornton, of Cambridge; and Col,
W. M. Hammond, of Thomasville.
The court was organized Mon¬
day morning at an early hour by
a full complement of both grand
and travers jurors having quali¬
fied for duty.
The Judge then delivered his
charge to the grand jury in a most
comprehensive manner, touching
all questions upon which the law
makes it his duty, paying espe¬
cial attention to the road law as
now of force in this county, the
grand Jury of the April term of
1904, having recommended the
adoption of what is known as the
“Alternative Road Law,” it takes
the place of the old system, and,
until it can be put in force by the
county commissioners who now
have full power over the roads,
there is no way of working the
roads, and the judge urged that
they proceed at once to put the
new law in force.
Judge Spence then referred at
some length to the flagrant viola¬
tion of their moral obligation on
the part of all citizens by virtue
of the practice of returning prop¬
erty for taxation at ar. under val¬
uation, and stiessed the fact that
the law made it the duty of .the
grand jury that they take the mat¬
ter in hand and make corrections
in the tax returns by placingasafe
market valuation upon all proper
ty for a guide to the Receiver in
Tamers’ ,
Every kind at prices to suit the times.
1 am also receiving shipments of many articles, such as are
kept in a general store. Come to see me, and if you don’t see
what you want, call for it, 1 have it.
