EIyton Company Had Right.

MT London contended that even if the streets had been dedicated to the public still the Elyton Land Company as the owner of the soil had a right to grant an easement over the street not incon- sistent with the purposes of the original grant.
 At this point court adjourned until 3 o'clock.
 Court reconvened at 3 o'clock and Mir London resumed his argument by saying that MT. .Cabaniss had left him very little to say in regard to the question of title It had been repeatedly held that under a common law dedication of streets to the public, the land owner had still had the right to convey right of way in the street to a railroad-the dedication of the street is subject to this and other rights He cited authorizes on this proposition
 If there Is no right conferred In the Highland Avenue and Belt Railway by the deed from the Elyton Land Compa n.y." he said, 'how did the Belt Line &C., quire any title? Under its charter, which gave it the right to lay the tracks, and the granting from the land owner of his consent for them to be laid, this gives the Belt Line perfect title"

LAWYERS To AGAIN
DISCUSS LAW
SCHOOLS
BAR ASSOCIATION WILL TAKE UP
METHOD OF ADMITTING LAW
SCHOOL GRADUATES TO
THE BAR.

The Georgia Bar association will again
take up the question OF admitting gradu-
ates OF law schools 20 practice in the
state courts without appearing before the
state examining board. Last year the
matter caused no end of discussion at
Warm Springs, but no recommendations
were made by the lawyers.
This year Judge Spencer r. Atkinson,
chairman Of the committee on legal edu-
cation will bring the question to the at
tention OF the lawyers again, and will
urge that all the law school graduates,
no matter the length OF the course at the
law schools be required 20 pass a salts
factory examination before the state ex-
aiming board before being given a
license to practice in the state courts.
A bin introduced by Roland Ellis, of the
Twenty-second senatorial district. was
passed in the senate last year requiring
graduates of law schools to appear be-
fore the board regardless of the term Of
the law school course and the curriculum
of the law school. The bill was favorably
recommended by the judiciary commit
tee Of the house but was never put on its
passage on account of the heavy pressure
Of other bills at the close Of the session.
Judge Emory Speer and Glenn p. Steed,
members OF the faculty of the Mercer
law school, have fought vigorously any
action on the question by the bar associa-
ton, and this year they will probably re-
new that fight. Judge Atkinson contends
that the courts should determine the man
ner in which applicants TO practice law
should be admitted. and holds that the
legislature has no power to prescribe
laws. He thinks a test case should be
made in the courts.

that the committee had no authority to
order recount and that the matter must
be dealt with by the convention.
Chairman Brown says he regards the
matter closed so far as the committee
is concerned and he does not know what
Colonel Estill will do at the convention.

HIS VIEWS IN PLATFORM

AUGUSTA. June 1S-The Tenth dis
trict convention is I'm session at the court
house this afternoon.
A very large delegation came up with
Mr.. Hardwick on the Southern train from
Sandersville this morning. Hardwick
badges and enthusiasm were blended in
profusion around the scene Of the con-
vention.
In the delegation and attending the con-
vention were quite a number of ladies, in
GLIDING Mrs. Hardwick.
In the absence of the chairman OF the
district committee the convention was
called 10 order by Mr.. Shurley, OF War
renton. and Mr.. w. r. Logue. of Glas-
cook, was elected temporary chairman,
followed by the election of Hon. ]. r.
Philips. Of Jefferson, for permanent
chairman. Mr.. ]. II. Battle. Of Warren,
was elected secretary. Every county ex-
cept Hancock was represented.
The convention struck a snag in fixing
the platform, the difficulty being over
the 18th and 18th amendments, his atti-
tude in regard to them being insisted on
by Mr.. HardwiclS. and the incorporation
OF this plank into the platform being re-
sisted by some members.
Mr.. Hardwick was later nominated by
the convention. and his platform for the

bodied in the convention platform

SHE WANTS HER SON
To COME BACK
To HER
MRS. M. c. GARVlN ASKS POLICE
TO LOCATE NAN who LEFT
HOME OVER SEVEN
YEARS AGO.

The queer case of an Atlanta boy who
left home seven years ago and has not
since been heard from was reported to the
police Tuesday by his mother, with the
request that notices be sent out broadcast
to try and find him and bring him back.
The boy, now a man, left home because
Of trouble with his father and stated at
the time that he wanted to get as far
away from him as possible. The father Is
now dead and the mother thinks, perhaps,
her boy will come back.
John H. Garvin, 10 years old, when he
left, but now &c, is the man wanted. His
mother is Mrs. M. c. Garvin, of 442 Wind
sor street She called to see Chief Ball
Tuesday and told her pathetic story
and the longing of her old mothers heart
to see once again her runaway boy.
Young Garvin at the time he left him
was wanted by the police. He had bor-
rowed some things from neighbor and
pawned them. The owner wished to prose-
cute him for larceny after trust and the
boy, finding the officers of the law were
after him, fed after first conhding the
story to his mother. His father, John II.
Garvin, ST., the boy said, was responsible
for the whole thing. He had tirst led his
son into the habit Of drinking and had
later planned the pawning of the goods for
which the boy was wanted. 1t was case
of stealing to get money for drink. The
boy, when he realized his offense, told
his mother he wanted to put as much OF
the world between himself and MS father
as possible. He left home at once. Later
his mother heard he went to Germany, but
nothing definitely could be learned.

labor has the right to organize and COM
bine for peaceful and lawful purposes.
Capital has the right to cooperate and
consregate so long as its purpose is peacs-
full and lawful. But neither has any right
