ELIGIBLE BY NAPIER

A letter just received by E. ].
McMath from Attorney General
Napier conveys information that a
resident of an Independent school
district is not ineligible to election
as county school superintendent be-
cause of such residence. In this
letter the attorney general rules Of
ficially that a resident of Americas
may be elected county school SUM-
erintendent without passing specIfi-
eally upon the question as TO
whether or not all of the voters
resident within the county may par-.
ticlpate in the primary for nomin-
alton of such officers. This letter
is published in full in todays

Will be read with interest through
out the county, as heretofore many
voters had been under the impress
sion that no resident of Americas
could be lawfully chosen county
school superintendent because the
Of provisions of Section lat OF
the school code of Georgia. The
ruling of the attorney general
clears up this question by declar-
ing that residents of Americas are
eligible as nominees for the office.
Another interesting question that
has arisen in connection with che
race for county school superinten-
dent relates to the status Of voters
resident with that part of Sumter
county now Incorporated within the
Lee county school system. 1t will
be recalled by many here that
few years ago a portion of Thomp-
son district, known as the Will

Sumter county and incororated in
Smithville (Lee county, consolidat-
ed district. School children living
within this district now attend
Smithville schools and school taxes
paid by taxpayers there are paid
over to Lee county authorities. The
question has now been brought Up
as to whether or not these voters
can legally participate in the
primary to nominate sumter

Following heated hearing which
lasted almost all Of the afternoon
the Colquitt County Democratic
Executive Committee in executive
session late today refused to throw
out the votes cast in the Moultrie

such action was asked by H. w.

statute which he said excludes citi-
zens of independent school from
participating in the election of
county school superintendent,
should be followed.
If the Moultfie and Doerun
votes had been thrown out Frank
Clark, Of Crosland, would have
been declared nominee over L. O.
Rogers, present superintendent. It
is likely that the contest will be
carried to the Supreme Court.
The special statute was discuss
ed at a meeting held by the COM
mittee a short time after the dare
OF the primary was fixed and then
rule permitting all of the voters
OF the county to participate in the
election of the county school SUM-
erntendent was passed. Before re-
firing into executive session the
committee permitted spectators in
the crowded courtroom to express

mlttee should stand by the po-
