Opinion Given.

Recently State Superintendent OF Ed
ucation o. B. Martin wrote the attor-
hew general In reference to section Of
The new library. law; Section { Of the
library law provides that mot more
than II schools in any county, in any
one year, created and operated under
the general free school law of the
State, shalt be entitled to the benefits
Of this act, and no school district shall
receive any moneya under its provis-
ions. except schools operated under the
general free school law of the State.
The schools receiving this benefit shall
be decided by the county boards:
ar. aIdrtia asked that Attorney Gem
eral Gunter define the expression "cre-
ated and operating under the general
free school law of the State" so that
school officers might have some rule
to determine what schools ere entitled
to the provisions of, the law; He also
wished to be advised whose duty it is
to pass upon the applications. and de,
eide whether the schools are operating
under the general free school Law or
special acts.
In answer to the superintendent OF
EDUCATION. Attorney General Gunter
rendered The following opinion
':The schools to receive the benefit OF
this act are limited to such as were
c, eated and operated sclely under the
general free sciloll law. II ii the cres
alton or operation Of the school in any
respect appeal must be had to any spe-
cial act for authority for such action,
however incidental it may be, that
school is. exempt from the benefit Of
this act. The operation of the machin-
cry of q school, such as the, appoint
rlen; of trustees, levy and collection OF
taxes, selection of teachers, etc., must
be exclusively under the general school
law, and such feature that 1nds Its
authority in a special act eliminates
snch school from the provisions OF this
acs. :.
'.The action of county boards in Sc.
lecting certain schools to receive this
benefit is conclusive when the restric-
ton as above stated has been OBJ
served"

A Case Where a Lady Was iusulted
on the TraiD.

Greenville, special.-The court OF
common pleas has been engaged for
three days in hearing most extraor-

"ay is asked to pay $4,000 damages
tc Mrs. Susan L. Franklin of Newberry
for ali alleged insult to her By q pas
serger while OH train between Green
vile and Atlanta about year ago.
The jury brought in verdict for s25,
600 in the plaintiffs favor.
Mrs. Franklin Is ccmely woman,
unusually self-possessed on the witness
stand, with readiness and intelligence
in giving testimony that is surprising
aud uncommon; and approaching the
bearing Of evidence upon the case in

that she was married when only IS
years old, and has been the mother of
three children, one Of whom is dead.
Her husband is a policeman in New
berry and her occupation is dress MAX
Ing. Mrs. Franklin gave connected
account of the trip from Newberry to

Greenville shc and her little child went

arm around her waist and using famil
iarlties against her protest, though she
endured the upfeasant treatment for
a quarter Of an hour or more. The
men were drinking and behaving un-
seemly but only one OF them made ap-
proaches to her.
On the cross examination Mrs.
Franklin said that the conductor was
in the car the most of the time when
the man was annoying and insulting
her and made no effort to stop his un-
ruly behavior until she appealed to
him for protection, when the conauc-
tor told the man he must desist or he
would put him off the train. The man
claimed that he was detective, but
the conductor said he must behave or
else he could not ride any further on
his train, which put quietua to the
rien except that they continued to
drink and use indecent language. but
the conductor had removed her to the
centre of the car, where he had been
seated for some time. On arriving at
Atlanta she was taken i'll and the cause
was due to the fright occasioned by the
conduct of this unknown man. result
