cHANcERY COURT.

The October Term. 1912, Of the NOx-
ubes County Chancery Court did not
really begin until Wednesday morning.
On petition Of the bar, court did not
hold Monday or Tuesday, but was con-
vened Monday morning by the clerk
and adjourned over to Wednesday.
Chancellor McCool arrived in Macon
Tuesday night and opened court We'd
nesday morning. The chancellor's. gen.
ius for the prompt and expeditions
transaction of the business Of his court
has made him distinguished and was
never better exemplifed than at this
term. On Wednesday he heard, con-
sidered and decided fifty three q'les.
tions in various cases, and signed fifty
three orders and DEGREES. Some Of
these were contested cases, and the ar
guments of counsel were heard with all
patience and interest. But Chancellor
McCool, with a cool. analytical judg-
ment, can Immediately distinguish the
real points in contest between the par
ties, and with his ready and at the
same time deep and thorough, knowl-
edge of the law, is able to pass upon
the vital issues of case 80 soon as he
had it thoroughly presented to him by
the legal counsel in the case. His deci.
sions are rarely appealed from and still
more rarely reversed. His administ1a-
tion of his judicial Office demonstrates
in high degree the approximate per-
fection Of highly trained intellect.
The routine business of the court in
passing upon the various guardian and
executorial and administorial accounts
in the chancery court Of this county
was all finished up, various divorces
were granted and cases where consid-
cradle interest and intricate questions
of law demanded mature consideration
were taken under advisement to hear
argument and make decision in vaca-
tion.
Chancellor McCool adjourned court
Friday morning and left on the Friday
morning train.

war. Billie and Jerry Beasley, his
