sets Of tally sheets.
This is regarded in Macon as an
important ruling, one that should be-
known at oncc to the Democratic ex-
ecutive committees in those counties
which are going to hold county pri-
maries on the list day Of May.
When spoken to about it last night,
Mr.. Gambrell said that this ruling
meant that there shall be two dis
tinct primaries and that it would add
to the expense Of the local COMMITTEES
and contribute TO the inconvenience
Of the voters The state COMMITTEES
had invited he counties to hold their
primaries primaries on May and he
did not see what advantage there
would be in it under this ruling. He
further said that the rules adopted
by the State cimmittee did not seem
to him TO warrant this ruling but that
he had written to the state chairman
in order to be on the safe side.

Dear Sir: am just in receipt Of
yours Of the 22nd, in which you state
that
"Under the rules adopted by the
State Dem. Elk. Com. for the holding
Of the presidential primary an official
form Of ballot hes been prescribed,
and under this rule / do not see how
your request can be granted"
We have called our county primary
for May LIST, the same date as the
presidential primary, following the
suggestion made by the State Execu-
tive Committee.
win you kindly advise II we are to
use only the tickets furnished by the
State Executive Committee in the
Presidential primary, and have two
separate ballots and two separate bal
lot boxes, or If we can follow the form
laid down be the State Executive
Committee, and have one ballot print
ed containing the names Of the pres
idential candidates and the names Of
the candidates for the various county
Offices.
Kindly let me hear from you at
once about this matter, and oblige.
You're very truly,

an official form Of ballot was pres
cribed to be used in the Presidential
primary, and this form only win be
recognized. The tickets viii be fur
nished by the State committee. Of
course you could have as many print
ed as you wish, Of the form described,
but we will undertake to furnish you
enough for use in the primary. It
will be necessary to have two sepa-
rate ballots, and / would think it
would facilitate the count in having
two separate ballot boxes.
Under the rules Of the committee
It would not be proper to have one
ballot containing the names Of the
presidential candidates and the names
Of the candidates for the various
county Offices.
Yours very truly,
W. C. WRIGHT,
A feasible explanation Of the dis
ease which attacks old metal coins Is
suggested by the recent discovery Of
some Italian engineers Of microbe
which feeds on iron. The discovery
was made through the frequency with
which railway accidents occurred in
one particular portion of the railroad
in a certain district. An examination
Of the rails was made and the pres
ence Of severe corrosion was revealed.
A rail was taken up and broken. It
was then found to be hollow, and fur
Their examination showed the pres
ence Of thin, gray, thread-like worm
about a third of an inch in length
A careful examination was made Of
the habits and appearance Of this
worm. Upon it's head it carried tws
little glands filed with q corrosive
secretion, which it injected every few
minutes on to the iron. The injection
had the property Of rendereing thu
iron soft and spongy, when the worn
at once proceeded to devour it.

70 THE VoTERs OF LEE COUNTY:
Having entered the race for City
Court Judge, on an expression OF
principles favoring the salary sys-
tenn. deem necessary some expla-
nations. This is an attack on no
body, and is not intended as in any
way to bring up personalities. I
deem it my duty to make my prin-
ciples clear, to show what is custom
and law, what facts shown by re-
cords, to which every voter has ac-
cess. I shall refer to records and if
/ be wrong the voter can see and
make corrections himself,
/ have had this abstracted at con-
siderable cost, to show the error Of
the system. Go see them and sat
isfy yourselves from the records.
/ favor the salary system for the
reason that I believe a court should
be run on principles Of business as
any other public business is run.
Its balance sheets should be SO ar
ranged that its cost and receipts
shall be known to the world. Il
should be conducted as cheaply as
possible. The taxes are heavy and
the litigants, many Of them, are
poor. Justice should appeal to peo-
pie as near free as possible. The
counties all over the State have abol-
ished the old fee system. Salary is
for stated services; fees uncertain
pay for uncertain services. Numer-
Gus rulings hold fees are not sala-
RES.
In 1905 the Legislature of Geor-
gia made law establishing the City
Court Of Leesburg. Acts 1905, page
26e. This act established very
largely salary system, and proyi-
ded that certain funds arising from
fines should be paid into the coun-
" treasury. seeAct, Sec. Sand AZ,
and in 1905 the Grand Jury recon-
mended that certain officers of this
court be allowed the regular fees,
instead Of salary provided by law.
See minute book, page one, signed
e. B. Martin as foreman, and 81
Others. The Grand Jury there
made a recommendation in conflict
with the law, which provided sala-
ries instead of fees. and the same
could Of course be of no effect.
This recommendation was to run if
it had been legal for the two years,
to-wit-1906 and 1907-when it
would have been necessary for an
other. And there has been neither
salaries nor fees recommended since.
OF course this first recommendation
could not nulliiy law.
But the,matter run in the old
grooves until 1910 when there was
some litigation over it which was
bought in the wrong court and

dismissed from a technicality for
want of jurisdiction, With this we
have no discussion.
Solvent cost iswhere the fines are
paid by convicts in cash. Insolvent
costs are charged and taken out Of
any funds in the treasury applca-
bic.
In 1911 bill was introduced for
the purpose of allowing younger
age limit in both years and expert
ence, for the solicitor Of the court.
This bill was to amend section 8
OF the court, and was to provide
that the solicitor might be a young
er man than formerly. 1t was net
to change anything but this fea-
ture, and was not SO advertised at
all, was not to alter Sec. 40 which
provided for the payment Of cost
into the county treasury, and was
only for the amendment of Sec. 8,
SO as to allow a younger man.
This advertisement was published
in The Lee County Journal in the
issues Of June 8, 10, % and Goth
see files at the court house. No
body signed the advertisement.
When this bill passed it was not the
one advertised at all. 1t cut the
age limit as provided in the adyer-
tisement, but it did more-it cut
out the salary system provided by
law. It further had section adj
ded as follows:
Be it further enacted by the au-
thority aforesaid, That the distri-
button Of the fines and forfeiture
to the fees and insolvent cost in
said court since its establishment,
according to the law governing such
distribution in the Superior court,
shall be legal and binding where the
Grand Jury have recommended reg
ular fees as compensation for any
or all Of the officers Of the said
court.
It is fairly safe to say that not a
half dozen people in the county and
not the members Of the bar and the
Judge Of the Court knew that such
an act was contemplated. Without
going into the law on the subject or
showing the many objections to the
Of special acts in this way,
the matter is stated to the people as
The records show it. See page 276,
Acts Of 1911, compare act adver-
Used and act passed. / propose to
enter into no discussion as to the
Of the act. 1 shall give
,ome reasons to show that the prin-
,iple Of the salary system is the
correct one and viii perhaps save
he people many thousands Of dol
airs, and allow them 70 judge the
merits Of the salary system. For
ven admitting that this law Of 1911

makes the salary system betterl It
is definite. The fee system is not.
No matter how much in fines paid,
the insolvent cost always takes them
up, and takes extra from the treas

esq. In many cases the costs are

Wont a salary system be better?
