Georgia code of 1800 cited by Judge Clark discussed
Review of the Georgia codification project from 1800, noting its roots in Alabama law and the influence of George Gordon and David Irwin. Judge Richard H. Clark defends the code after twenty seven years of trial, but critics doubt its wisdom due to reliance on supreme court decisions and lack of binding precedents. An Atlanta Telegram item covers a separate Freeman and Crankshaw matter and a disrupted transport scene at Waycross involving African American workers seeking railroad cross ties.
