THAT NEW COURTHOUSE
A FRIENDLY INJUNCTION FILED
BY A WINSTON MAN.
Judge Brown Holds That the Com
missiODers Can Borrow the Money
and BuiId-The Case Now in the
Hands Of the Supre me Court


and BuiId-The Case Now in the
Hands of the Supreme Court
1t will probably be known this week
whether or not Forsyth is to Lave
new court house.
1t will be remembered that the
County Fathers passed a resolution,
at a special session, held last month,
that the commissioners issue, when
needed, ten notes of S., 600 each, max
ing total of $50, 900, due and payable
as follows: $40 900 Nav Ist, 1898; $780,
000 May 1st, 1899, and 3d. 900 May 1st,
1900, bearing interest not to exceed
per cent. per annum, payable annu-
ally. This money to be used, Of course
ia the erection of the proposed new
court house.
Several days ago citizen entered a
friendly injunction against the COM
missionerS issuing said notes. The
action Of this gentleman was simply
to test the legality of the case. He
is as much in favor of a new court
house as any man in the county.
The old Supreme court had decided
in many cases that commissioners had
the power to build court house and
contract debt for such a necessary
expense without vote of the people
This matter was before Judge
Brown, at Chambers, week before last
He held in accordance with the decis-
ions Of the Supreme court that the
commissioners had the power.
How the Supreme court, as At pres
ent constituted will hold, we cannot
tell. The personnel of the court has
been changed since those decisions
were made.
The case was argued before the Su-
preme court last week
