BOTH SIDES LOST.
Odd Case Growing Out of Election
mt Bolton.

NJ bRttNons
Gainesville. Ga. June lit is not
often the case that both parties to a
suit lose when applying to the courts
for justice but this has been true IN
the case of r. f. Quillian and r. L.
Scales of Bolton, Ga, both of whom
are trying to get the courts to decide
which was legally elected Mayor of
that town.
Bolton is a little town of a hundred
or more inha bitants, half of the place
being in Hall county and the other
half in Banks county. Last December
an election was held for Mayor and
aldermen, and the opposing candidates
for Mayor were r. F. Quillian and r.
L. Scales Only thirty-nine votes were
cast in the election. Quillian receiving
%, and Scales II. Scales at once insti-
tuted a contest, declaring he had been
defeated by fraudulent votes.
As the election precinct was in Banks
county, Ordinary Hin of that county
was appealed to decide the matter Ac-
cordingly, he began his Investigations,
but had not progressed very far, when
Scales attorneys filed quo warranto
proceedings against the old Mayor and
Council calling upon them to show
cause before Judge Kimsey why they
should hold over. In due time Judge
klmsey heard the case, and he decided
that the old Mayor and Council should
hold over until their successors were
elected and qualified.
Scales attorneys appealed to the Su-
preme Court, and that tribunal has
just handed down a decision affirming
the decision of Judge Kimsey. The
matter now stands just where it was
when the quo warranto proceedings
were instituted, and Ordinary Hill will
again take UP his Investigations into
the contest Before the case was taken
out of his hands the first time. it is
said that he had thrown out thirty
four of the total thirty votes cast
in the election on the grounds of lille
gality. This left Quillian three votes
and Scales two.
Now he will sift the others down.
and the contest may wind up without
leaving either Quillian or Scales with
a vote. In the meantime, Col. c. Y.
Faulkner, the Mayor, and his Council
G. Hathcock. w. l.. Barrett. j. T. Buff
fington and c. NJ. ScOggins-are holding
over and drawing the salaries attached
to their respective offices. which, in
this instance, are exceedingly large.
the Mayor receiving SO per month and
the councilmen 81 per month, each.
As it will take Ordinary Hill some
time to dispose of the contest, having
to take it up in it's regular order al
term of his court, and as one or the
other sides will certiorari to a higher
court. it matters not which way it is
decided, it will be readily seen that the
term of the Mayor elect will have been
ended long before the case is finally
nded-therefore. this is one instance in
which both htigants will lose in the
courts. Coils Ed Quillian and Fletcher
Johnson represent Quillian and Coils
Bill Findley and Spencer Atkinson rep
resent Scales
