the purpose of expressing themselves
upon the question of the proposed abol,-
ton OF the present County Court sys-
tenn, at which meeting the following
preamble and resolutions were Offered. and
debated pro and con
Figures were submitted. by those favor
ing the resolution showing that the sal
aries paid to the present circuit Judges
amounts to the sum of 2S.SOO. and that
the salaries of the judges of the County
Courts of the State do not exceed in the
aggregate the sum of $780, making a to-
tai not exceeding S7S,S0O.
The proposed system of judicial circuits,
it was shown, would cost $50, 600 in salar-
les to judges, showing a saving of only
$lS,S0O i'll salaries. st
ADD TO COST. s7
1t was commended by the friends of the
resolution that the proposed change in
the present County Court system would
necessarily add to the cost of, maintain

THE RESOLUTIONS.
The resolutions were:
Whereas, the people of Appomattox
county are attached to the present Cour-
ty Court system as one which anords a
pleasant meeting place for The citizens of
the country for social Intercourse and for
transaction of much important usiness;
And whereas ;hese monthly meetings
tend to unite the people of the county Ito
a sympathetic community;
And whereas We think the division CT
the State into twenty-four judicial cir
cults. with salaries of $500 for the judges
instead of seventeen circuits with Sl60O.
as paid al present. VIII result in little
saving to the State:
And whereas his system would entail
considerable additional expense in jail
fees which would probably amount to
more than The saving in salaries:
Therefore, be it resolved by the clt1-
zens of AppomattoX county. in mass
meeting assembled. That we are oppose.
to the abolition Of the present County
Court system. ana ask L consideration
of our delegate in the Constitutional Con-
vention of the above figures. and request
