The Haywood county court met in
il FIRST session Of the new year Mon.
aay morning at II o'clock. Twenty.
I've Of the twenty-six members were
present when court opened. Esquire
Proctor Of the twelfth district was the
only absent member.
Judge James Upton was reelected
Chairman without opposition. This
nakes Judge Tip,on's ffth eonsecu.
tive election to this important Office.
The fact that be had no opposition for
reelection is sufficient proof of his
popularity and excellent administra-
tion as chairman of the county court.
n. l.. Newsom of Eurekaton was re.
elected yice-ehairman without opposi-
ti0n.
The first tilt Of the morning came
when the auditing committee made its
report through L. N. TAYLOR. Judge
j. H. Estes made the point that the
auditors report had merged the va
rious funds OF the county into one
common fund and that therefore one
could not easily get intelligent infor-
nation as to the condition of the va
rious county accounts. Judge Estes
introduced resolution calling for a
keeping of the chairman's books in
way which will show the various ac-
counts in separate and distinct form,
thus enabling one TO find out at a
glance what amount might be on hand
or what deficit there might be in any
Of the various accounts Independent OF
all other accounts. After a rather
heated discussion, which was indulged
in by various speakers; the motion Of
Judge Estes was adopted.
The next important matter consider
ed by the court was the election OF a
county physician. A motion was in
trcduced by Judge Estes fixing fees

and this action was followed by the
election of DR.. Earl Mulheron Of

Another heated discussion came up
over the appropriation of $500 toward
