SEALE IS MOVING.
Will Not Give Up Court House Without
 A Struggle.


 Girard. May S-(SpeciaL)-If the people of Girard capture the new court house of Russell county it won't be without a stubborn fight. The people at Scale. the present county seat are up in arms on the subject of moving the court house, and at an enthusiastic and well attended mass meeting just held adopted resolutions expressing their views on the subject.
 Two sets of resolutions were offered on the subject. One by Judge H. T. Benton, judge of probate of the county, asking that the people of Scale join with those of Girard in petitiong for an election on the subject of court house removal, and thus settle the question clearly and definitely. was defeated
 Resolutions offered by Hon. B. deG. Waddell were adopted. These resolu- tions protest against the agitation looking to the removal of the court house a wholly unnecessary, and it is claimed that 1t would be unjust, unfair and unwise to move the court house from its present location and place 1t in a city at the edge of the county.
 Judge Benton, like MT. Waddell, is opposed to moving the court house, but he thought that the best plan would be to have an election.
