of Judge Turner's opinion, many pro-
nouncing it an exceptionally able one.
The argument was concluded in the
case two weeks ago today and since
that time the court has had the mat
tiers under advisement. That he had
given the most careful and painstak-
ing study to the issues involved was
shown in the opinion.
The custer bill was filled by R. A.
Wilkes and others about six months
ago and was the result Of a bitter
fight instituted by Mr.. Wilkes upon
the road commission and system of
Maury county, beginning with the fill
ing of charges against the road COM
mission before the special committee
of the County Court appointed in April.
The committee indicated Mr.. Hight
and that judgment has been affirmed
by Judge Turner. The charges be-
came an issue in the politics OF the
county, one of the questions in the
contest for election of delegates to the
legislative convention. In every in
stance the accused officials won out
