In the matter otHJtulge John M.
Taylor's court, we understand that
the opinion ox tfie.jsutreme eouvtdr:
regard to the constitutionality of
the legislative act abolishing the
same will be handed down Augusts.
- -This is a- utattefj -hovfeveiVtivat
does not concern the people of this
county, unless it is a desire to kuow
the decision of- the-sirprern taxirt.
Inasmuch as Judge Taylor's court
is limited to the eleventh judicial
circuit, tire decision of the supreme
court will not atfect us. Benton
County is now a part of thotv.-lftk
judicial circuit.
Commenting on the position -taken
by Judge Taylor, the"'-Peters-bnrgh'Enteirise
says:
"J udge John Myi'pylor stumped
tho State during 'the fast campaign
preaching the gospel of reform and
calling on Democracy to hew to tho
line and let theehips- regard
less. Among other tilings, he said;
judicial reform takes'ot? my of
ficial head let-it'lfe titb'fiVsi' todrop
from the guillotine and I will ap
plaudethe act.' " "is 6 v.-ili atr th deg
islatur has declared that we can
dispense with 'j"irdg Taylor's ser
vices, he forgets his impassioned
campaign ottoranctH' nnd has o?)en
ed court in Henderson County and
will test the constitutionality of the
actor the. legislature. " Judge Tay
lor is like' '-"trios $ -M,her men lie
wants reform, but would lather re
form thb other fellow."
