Judge Richard =. Russell, OF the court
of appeals is one of the most remark
able workers in the state-as matte,
of fact it is doubtful whether his equa1
for etraightaway, conscientious and in
teligent work in the matter OF prepar-
ing judicial opinions is to be found in
any state, especially as concerns the
quantity turned out
Judge Russell never puts an opinion
on paper until he has it clear in his
mind. When he starts dictating-uo
rarely writes an opinion with his Own
hand-he gets away at a jog trot. ana
ne never breaks his pace until the opiu-
ion is finished. The judge frequenta-
keeps his Srenographer hard at i, ii.

The dispute between Spring Place
and Chatsworth as to which shall be
the county seat of Murray county has
been settled, and settled wisely. most
people will think, by Secretary Phi;
Cook, in favor Of Chatsworth.
Chatsworth is a hustling, busting lit
tie town. located in the middle of Muir
ray county, and on the main line of the
Louisville and Nashville railroad. Il
has many commercial advantages over
Spring Place, particularly in that the
latter is several miles from any rail-
road.
An overwhelming majority Of Muir
ray county citizens evidently was in
favor Of getting the county seat away
from Spring Place. for that little town
received only 155 votes in all. The
votes that went illegally to Elton prac-
tically all We're favorable to Chats
worth, as between Spring Place and
Chatsworth. 1t was mere local pride
that rounded up some 400 illegal votes
for Elton, after it had been injected
into the election without due process of
law.
Airs Wen that ends We'll. Murray
county will be satisfied with Chatsworth
as its county seat.
Governor Brown returned to Atlanta
today, after short visit to his home
in Marietta.
