CONTEST IS ON
FOR SOLICITOR
LOCAL LAWYERS ENTRANCE IN
TO THE RACE MIXES UP THE
SITUATION

The almost positive announcement
Of Judge A. d. Gale, of this city, that
he will be in the race for solicitor
Of the Brunswick circuit, has started
"a contest in the five counties OF the
circuit which promises to be unusual
ly interesting. Close friends of the
two candidates who announced some
time ago, Judge Alvin Sellers of Bax-
ley, and Col r. l.. Bennett. of Jesup,
are free to state that the entrance of
the Brunswick attorney had mixed the
situation up to great extent, and the
final fight may be in one or two coun-
ties in the circuit
Judge Gale, it Is admitted on all
sides, will carry GlyEn and Camden
overwhelmingly while his chances of
carrying Jeff Davis are considered bet.
ter than those of either of the other
candidates. II is also conceded that
he will poll good vote in the home
counties Of the other two candidates
Wayne and Appling
The race. therefore, seems to hinge
on the number of voters that the va
riOus can lidates can secure in their
opponents counties. Appling and
Wayne have practically twice as many
votes as Glynn, Camden and Jeff Da
Wis. Judge Sellers, it is generally
stated will carry his county, while
Col. Bennett is expected to carry
| Wayne.
The state executive committee. 1t is
generally tC'iereG, will adopt a pop
ular vote for the circuit, rather than
the county unit plan, therefore it is
not so much of carrying the county
as it Is the majority. Friends Of Judge
Gale point out that he undoubtedly
has the best chance, for the simple
reason that he starts with two coun
ties almost solid and it is figured that
he can poll a heavy vote in the home
counties Of the other two candidates.
In any event the race promises tC
be quite an interesting one and will
attract considerable attention all over
the CIRCUIT

ted to be done by the present incum-
bent during his tenure of the office of

both improper and illegal; and yet, he
has permitted it to be done even by
such notorious violators of the law as

lit tried in the city court where the
fine goes to the county. And, in this
connection, | desire to call your atten-
tion to this significant fact, that while
the last grand jury returned over a
score OF indictments against blind tig-
ers,' and although there will have
been two terms of the city court con-
vened before it is possible for these
cases to be tried in the superior court,
not a single one of these cases has
been transferred to the city court,
but all of them have been retained in
the superior court. where the officers
divide the fines. Can you possibly be
made to believe that the spy system
was inaugurated by the clerk with the
sole purpose that the law might be
vindicated? Don't you think he had
some slight idea of personal gain?
| am in favor of the most rigid en-
forcement of the prohibition law, as
am in favor of the enforcement of all

me the idea that the law shall only be
enforced that individuals may receive
personal gain therefrom, is most alb
hCrrent.
| desire to call attention to this fur
ther fact that there are many good
citizens Of mis- county whose names
are in both the grand and petit Jury
boxes, who are never called to serve
their country. while there are a few
other citizens who serve on three out
of every five juries. Under our sys-
tenn, which provides that the names of
all jurors shall be placed in a box CON
tanning two compartments marked,
respectively, 'one" and "two" and
ll4at all the names from compartment
zone" shall be drawn before a juror
once drawn shall be called to serve
on the same jury again. it is inconceiv-
able to me that these certain few can
so often be called to serve, when others
are never drawn. If this miracle in
the administration of the law is the
result of irregularity. | promise you,
