Citizen, D. w. Hammack and Com
missioners of Randolph County

cessfully at present. We have been
having civil court calendars in our
circuit for some time. 1t has been
a success. 1t can be done, and will
be done if I have the opportunity
to show you. l have not been so
presumptuous as to say that l could
institute this change alone, but if
you will refer TO my statements in
the papers you will find that J said
with the consent of the court" l
have a high respect for the court,
and would not presume to try to in
terfere with a branch of it with
which l have no connection. | am
proud to say, however, that l believe
our court will gladly, at all times,
be ready and willing to do all in its
power for the benefit and welfare Of
the people.
Some distinguished parsonage,
who hides his relationship to Cas-
| fellow from you by subscribing him
self "A Randolph Citizen, other pa
pers please copy" also sees Castel-
lows defeat, and in desperation says
that | am too young. The job needs
great lawyer like Castellow. He
/ 1
of my county until January 1st How
many of you ever heard of CastelloW
until he ran against Col. Laing? How
many cases have you heard him try
since his defeat? Think them up!
If he is such lawyer, and make
no reflections, for / have high re-
gard for him as a gentleman, look
on the civil court calendar of Ran
dolph Superior Court at the last
term and see if he is marked as at
torney for a single client out of at
least forty cases.
Then look and see how many Grim
inal cases he has had in said county
in the last four years. | then ask
you to look and see whether | am
in the active practice in Miller coun-
ty. Upon examination Of all the
dockets of Superior and City Courts
-ou will find that my firm, Bush &
StapietCn, handle as much 5uC!ness
as any of the lawyers of our bar
! You will find that the 25-year- old
boy, who is trying to rise in life, is
doing more practice than Castellow.
Judging from a news item in the
Albany Herald, headed Cuthbert, Ga.
II observe that Col. Castellow did
himself proud in a certain criminal
case there last week. If he did
congratulate him. ! am glad he
m ade a splendid effort, but l am in
| formed that the article above reterr-
ed to was written up by relative Ct
CasteIlow for the purpose of helping
Castellow in his race. The article
is characterized by a Cuthbert per
son who knows as a farcical at
tempt to help Col. CastellOw in his
race for Solicitor General" and also
as "a highly colored story Of one
mans part in not so important
murder case"
1t seems that the relatives of my
good friend Castellow are desperate
because they cant put all of theiT
family in office.
appeal to every one of you tc
vote for me because l stand for
something that will benefit you.
hope to climb life's ladder, and you
can count on me living up to my
promises if it is possible for hui
man being to do so. You know
have run a clean race. l have treat
ed my opponent fairly and as a true
gentleman should. I have sincerely
spoken of him in the highest terms,
and now | ask my friends to resent
| these attacks made on me by the rel
atives of CastellOw. Go to the polls
and vote for me. Faithfully yours,
BILLIE B. BUSH.
