4 of said section and inserting in lieu there
of the word "Octoher," also by striking out
the word January and the figures 1879
in line 6 and inserting in lieu thereon the
word and figures October, 1880, TOT the
term beginning in January Thereafter, SO
that said section when amended, shall
read as follows: "Ordinaries, clerks OF the
superior courts, sheriff, coroners, tax col
lectors, tax receivers, county surveyors
and all the county officers SHAH be eiected
on the first Wednesday in OCTOBER OF the
year in which under the constitution ana
laws of this state, elections should be held
to I'LL such offices. beginning on the first
Wednesday in October, 1895, for terms be-
ginning in January thereafter
The point is made on the last six words
of me act "for terms beginning in jan
uary thereafter" Citizens CLUB men, or
some of them, says that this evidently
means that the law only applies 10 ohcers
whose terms begin in January and that
as the terms of the county commissioners
Of Chatham county begin on March they
are not Included under the terms OF the
act. This being the case, they say, the
election of Oct would be null, and 1t
would be necessary to hold another cleo
uon for county commissioners only III jan
uary.
j. r. Saussy. Esq, the county attorney,
was seen about the matter. Mr.. Saussy
said that he was aware of the peculiar
wording of the act and that 1t left some
uncertainty as to when the commissioners
should be elected He mentioned this at
a meeting of the board some time before
the election, he said, but as he was not
requested to furnish an opinion he did not
do so. After thorough study OF the
act and of other acts relating to the elec-
ton of county officers, he said that ne
was Of the opinion that the board of COM
missioners elected Oct. was legally cleo
ted. The words of the act "all county
officers" he said, includes the commits
sioners, although the words for terms
beginning in January" left the matter in
some doubt.
Anyway, Mr.. saussy said the election
was one which it would be difficult to
contest The voters of both political fac
lions entered into the election, and there
by Endorsed the law and on this account
are prevented from bringing any action
against its legality. The defeated candi-
dates could take no action for the same
reason. The only persons who could bring
any action are the members of the retlr-
ing board, who could decline to give up
their offices a the expiration of their
terms on the ground that there had been
no election for their successors.
AS Messrs. Dale and Kehoe of the pres
ent board are reelected, this leaves the
matter of testing the election to MesSrs.
Carson. Chaplin and Charlton, the three
members of the present board, who were
not reelected.
The attention of Hon. F. G. duBignon
was called to the matter. He took the
same view of the matter as did Mr.. Saus-
sy, and said that it would be a difficult
matter to disprove the legality of the elec-
ton.

In accordance with a resolution passed
by the turpentine operators convention
held in Savannah Aug. 90, Mr.. John Nor
rison, chairman of the convention has
appointed the following operators to meet
in Savannah and confer with the factors
as to the best means of carrying out the
plans formulated by that convention in
order to reduce the production of naval
stores next season. John e. Donaldson,

The friends Of Mr. Morrison insist that
he shall be a member of this committee
and have added his name.
Col. Donaldson is chairman and will
notify his committee to meet the factors
of Savannah and Brunswick at an early
date. The operators and factors realize
the Importance of carrying out to the
letter the resolutions unanimously adopt-
ed by the convention, and are deter
mined to leave nothing undone to bring
about such a reduction in the crop, as
will insure remunerative prices next year.
The recent advance in turpentine will
have no influence upon operators in re-
ference to box cutting. They have made
up their minds to limit the cut to one
third of the number of boxes cut last sea-
son, no matter how prices may range
during the coming winter.

Citizens Club men have discovered that
the act changing the time of election Of
county officers from January TO October
and that its wording is such as to leave
sioners of Chatham county are included
meant to correct a defect in the state
code by which county officers have been
elected after the terms of the existing
officers had expired and did not take
into consideration the fact that the com
missioners of Chatham county do not as
sumo office until March 4. after their
election. According to the code the terms
of all county officers expired on the first
tay OF January, but the election for their
successors was not held until the first
Wednesday in January. This was
amended by another section OF the code
which provided that all county officers
should hold over until their successors
were elected and qualified. The legisla-
ture of 1894 undertook to simplify mat
ters by combining the state and county
elections, and electing the county officers
in October, nearly three months before
the expiration Of the terms of the occu-
pants of the Offices. The act reads as fol-
lows:
An act to amend section 1919 of the code
OF 1882. so as TO change the time Of electing
county officers from the first Wednesday
in January to the first Wednesday in Oc-
tober, preceding and for other purposes.

town people out to Preston free of

Owingsville's quota more than filled
the seats on the train, and many
more got on at Olympia, Salt Lick
and Midland. The crowd at Farm
ers when services commenced was
very large and only fraction
could get inside the Church, al
though it is not by any means a
small building for town of that
size.
The dedication exercises were
very simple, In accordance with the
practices of the Christian Church.
Elder H. ID. Clark, of Mt. Sterling,
preached the sermon. Elder Jesse
Walden made the request for do
nations to pay off the debt, and
the contributions were very liberal,
