City politicians fight over new Atlanta charter and Ashley amendment
Atlanta politicians clash over a proposed substitute charter and the Ashley amendment aimed at disqualifying Mayor Woodward and council members. John McMcNand and Alaine Chambers draft the substitute creating six boards, removing the mayor from boards, and shifting duties to health, education, and recreation.

Precedent argued to save phone damages in Georgia case
Lawyers debated whether the Reynolds ruling should control the Glause n case in Americus as damages sought from the Southern Bell Telephone and Telegraph company for failure to provide a connection. The court of appeals had previously allowed damages, while the supreme court's Reynolds decision may reverse. The outcome hinges on whether proven circumstances qualify as a valid damages claim and if the higher court upholds prior demurrer rulings.
