he was elected judge he would have
fixed day during the term upon
which ali criminal business would
be heard, and parties and witnesses
in these cases would be relieved
from attendance upon court except
the day or days required for this
business. He stated he would not
require any parties or witnesses in
criminal cases to attend court be-
fore Wednesday of the week of
court.
Judge Morris, in replying to this
reference, stated that it had always
been his practice in every county
in the circuit where court only
lasted one week, and where the
civil and criminal business were
both for trial that week, to call the
civil docket on Monday of court,
require announcements and assign
the civil business for trial on Ger
tain days; that if he had enough
civil business to run Monday and
Tuesday, he then excused all par
ties and witnesses in Criminal
cases until Wednesday. If he had
a big felony case to try that required
extra panels of jurors, he would
assign that case for certain day,
have the extra jurors summoned
for that day only, and excuse par
ties and witnesses until the time set
for the trial; that he had occasion
ally held court where it did not re-
quire more than one day to dispose
of the civil business on account OF
contlnuanceS or settlements, etc.
For that reason he could not pass
an oder in advance setting the
criminal business for Wednesday,
and take chances on having a heavy
court expense to go on Tuesday
and nothing to do. He stated that
it would not be practicable to as
sign the criminal business for GER
tain days. To illustrate, if you had
thirty criminal cases for trial, and
assigned ten for Wednesday, ten
for Thursday and ten for Friday,
when court met Wednesday to try
those cases that were assigned for
that day, there would probably be
two or three pleas of guilty, maybe
one or two continuances, and the
balance of the defendants might
forfeit their bonds. The same thing
would probably happen again
Thursday and again Friday, and

JOINT SPEAKING BY CANDIDATES FOR
JUDGE OF THE BLUE RIDGE CIRCUIT

On last Saturday Colonel PatteF-
son and Judge Morris each made
speeches in the interest of their
candidacy at Blue Ridge. The oc-
casion was the gathering of the
Democrats from all over the county
in mass meeting for the purpose of
nominating county officers. Before
the mass meeting Colonel Patterson
made speech. Judge Morris was
then called on, and replied.
In Colonel Patteson's opening re-
marks he reviewed his old soldier
record, showing his service in the
civil war, and that he received a
wound near the ear while in active
service. He stated that his father
was killed in the war. He appealed
to the old soldiers for their vote
and support.
Judge Morris, in reply to this,
stated that he was certain that Col
onel Patterson was a brave and
good soldier; that he did not want
to question this fact in the least, but
said that he was not born until af-
ter the war. 1T is no fault of mine
that | was not also soldier in
that conflict. If he had been here,
! would also have shouldered a gun
in defense of my country, and it is
"a fact that l had many kins-people
in the war, and nearly a dozen of
my blood relatives lost their lives
fighting under the Southern flag in
that great conflict. | had uncles
that were in the war from the first
battle of Manassas down to the
surrender of General Johnston.
WILL NOT WITHDRAW.
Colonel Patterson stated that it
had been rumored that there was
an understanding between him and
Judge Morris for him to enter the
race, and at the proper time, that
he Colonel Patterson) would with
draw and leave the field to Judge
Morris. He stated that this rufnor
was without foundation, and that
no such agreement had been made
or entered into; that he would stay
in the race to the finish.
In replying to this, Judge Nor
ris stated that what Colonel Pat
terson had said concerning this mat
ter was the absolute truth. If any
rumor to that effect had been cir
culated, he was not responsible for
it, and knew nothing about it, and

the result would be that the jurors
and officers Of court would be
drawing pay for three days at the
expense of the tax payers, when all
the criminal business could have
been disposed of in one day; that
you never know that a defendant
is going to forfeit his bond until the
case is called for trial. He stated
that there are now twenty-nine SUI
perior court judges in Georgia; that
he is holding court the same way
they are in the country counties,
and they are holding it the same
way he is. Certainly if any other
plan could be adopted some one of
these various judges would have
found it out and put it in practice.
COUNTY TAX RATE.
Colonel Patterson stated that if
he was elected judge he would
charge the grand jurors that they
had the right to fix the county tax
rate for each year; that he believed
that they should do this instead of
the ordinary.
Judge Morris replied by stating
that he had never, on any occasion,
charged the grand jurors that they
did not have the right to fix the
county tax rate, but said he, the
law is, if they do not do it, then the
ordinary or the county commission
srs shall do it, 1t has been the
practice so far as | have been able
to learn for more than a quarter of
a century in practically every coun-
ty in Georgia, for the grand jurors
to leave this work to the ordinary
or county commissioners. These
officers have to manage the finances
of the county, AMI should certainly
know more about the amount that
it will take and the necessary per
centage to levy than the average
juror, and why should a large
amount of time be taken up by the
grand jury in trying to agree on
this rate at the expense of the coun-
ty, when these other officers could
do it under the duties of their posi-
ton without extra expense to the
county. They are elected by the
people and the people can hold them
accountable for faithful discharge
of this duty.

William Holland Makes Big
Realty Deal. R. E. But
Ter Purchaser.

One of the largest real estate deals
made in some time was closed this
week when William T. Holland of the
firm of R. N. Holland and Son, sold the
w. R. Joyner property at Fair Oaks to
Mr.. r. E. Butler, of Marietta. for
s23, 900. The property consists of
nearly two hundred acres and is
situated in very desirable locality be-
tween Marietta and Atlanta.
Mr.. Butler will build an elegant bun
galow on part of the property for his
own home and will subdivide and sell
off a large part of the land.
Mr.. Joyner bought the property some
years ago and has made handsome
profit on his investment. At the same
time Mr.. Butler is delighted with hav-
ng secured the property at the above
price.
Mr. Holland, who is one of the young
est real estate men is being congratu-
lated on his success in making such a
large sale. Several real estate firms in
Atlanta were trying hard to dispose of
the property for Mr.. Joyner but Mr..
Holland:knew the value better. He is
always looking out for bargains while
at the same time giving due considera-
ton to the viewpoint of the seller.
While this is the largest sale for some
time past Mr. Holland has also sold for
E. G. Gilbert house and lot on Maple
Ave, to Mr.. w. A. Meeks and for J.
M. Davis sixty-four acres on the Mac
land road.
