HAS NO JURISDICTION.
That Was Judge GuerrY's Decision in the
City Election Case After Hearing
ArpHment

Argument.
Judge Query heard the petition to
have the recent city election set aside on
the grounds of fraud and new one or
dered last Wednesday, and the result is
that the aldermen elected still hold their
seats as members of the city council.
j. w. Walters, of Albany, and Hoyl &
Parks represented the moveants, while
Bacon q Miller, of Macon, and j. A.
Laing represented the aldermen.
Colonel Waters argued that the cleo
ton was illegal because the county reg
istration list was used and large num-
Der of people debarred the privilege of
voting thereby.
Judge Miller argued that the court had
no jurisdiction and was powerlesS, under
the law, to interfere with the election.
Judge Query sustained Judge Miller,
the decision being that he had no juris-
diction. The injunction against the
council was also dismissed.
THE News learns that the case will be
carried to the supreme court.

Terrell county has had many elections
but none were ever quieter than that
lest Wednesday, when county officers
were elected.
. There was no opposition to the dem
ocratic nominees and they had walk
over.
No one at all appeared interested in
the work, and many of the voters who
turned out did so only after they had
been asked to vote.
Around the court house there was no
crowd at all, and those who passed by
would never have known that there was
an cleo ion going on had not a few peo-
pie been standing around ready to offer
advice and to prefer ticket. The
ground was zee from the usual
cover of discarded ballots, and the peo-
pie seemed pleased that they once had
an opportunity to vote without being
told how they should do it.
The vote of the county, when added
up, was found to be very light AL the
candidates received practically the same
vote, Ordinary Roberts leading the
ticket.
Here is the vote as it was cast in the
