cape and the squealing porkers broke

Macon News: Some excitement has been
created IN the military circles of the city
by the runOr that Judge Hardeman OF
Bibb superior court may declare as lie
pany holds above the regular number
dfteen-that the general law of the state
allows each company, which exemptions
are sold to citizens. who are known on
the roll of the company as
pay members" The law also REQUIRES
that the exemptions must not be sold for
less than SIS per annUm each. There are
many companies in the state that have.
been granted more than fifteen exemp-
aions. This has been done by special en-
actment of the legislature. 1t is these
special exemptions which, IL is said, Judge
Hardeman may declare Illegal IT is pre-
sumed that If this is his view ii is based
on the fact Of a special law in conflict
with a general law IS Illegal. 1t is posi-
BILE that Judge Hardeman may not de-
eide that the special exemptions are ule-
gal. 1t is also said that some leading
lawyers Of the city are of the opinion
that the exemptions are legal and valid
If illegal, II viii be a serious blow to the
military companies of Macon, for some
of them are chiefly supported by the
money arising from the sale Of Jury
exemptions. Some companies, il is said
charge more than others for the exemp-
tons, and some have a greater number
of exemptions than others. The average
number is about forty. one company has
as many as a hundred At SIS an eXernn-
lion, this company would derive 50 800 Der
annum, provided all We're sold every year
In the event that the special exemptions
are held to be Illegal il has bpen z1la-gested
