merits of the weapons as Instruments of

CONDITIONS IN JAPAN.

In spite of the JOY over the fall
OF Port Arthur, which nearly set the
people of Toxic mad with delight.
the masses of the Japanese people
are wishing for peace, as the taxes
have been increased until they are
now almost unbearable.
Thousands of people are actually
starving because the departure of
all the young men for the front has
left the farmers without men to har-
vest the crops of rice, and thou.
SANDS of tons of this, the main food
OF rich and poor alike, have rotted
in the fields so that it has even be-
come necessary to import rice from
China and India.
The tone of the press is adding
to the depression of the people, and
the general opinion is that no mat.
ter whether Russia or Japan comes
out victorious in the end, Japan
will suffer for years to come.
The Jidai schicho, a leading
Toxic paper says in a recent edi-
torial: "If we win in this war we
shall have opened Manchuria to
America and England at a price Of
our blood and treasure. owe
shall look on with folded arms
while the English and Americans,
who during the war remained quiet
spectators Of The fight, and from
whom we obtained the favor Of
loans at ruinous interest reap the
profits Of our labor.

A bill will be introduced at the

increase the pay OF the members OF

poral, SI.7s for a Sergeant and So. 90

the pay tor officers from one half to
two thirds of the pay for officers of

be of great benefit to the Guard for
II will bring in better class OF en-
listed men and also inspire those
who look forward to commissions
to better efforts. The same bill
provides for an increased appropri-
alton and this means that there will
be better equipment next year and a
bctterment of conditions all around.
The officials at Charleston are
also taking considerable interest in
rifle practice and next year this State
will have team for the National
Rife Match unless present plans
miscarry. This match will be held

CONSTRUCTION OF
CAIRNS HMENT LAW.
Supreme Court Holds Costs
Cannot be Recovered
From Defendants.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec 2--The
Supreme Court has recently handed
down an opinion in reference to tn
construction of the new garnishment
law which WIS passed by the last
Leg is!atu'e, in which 1t holds among
other things that plaintiffs can collect
only 10 pei cent Of the wages, salary
or income of defendants, and that
costs can not be recovered from the
defendants. The opinion is of con
siderable interest here because of the
fact that many justices of the peace
have construed the law to mean that
not only 10 per cent, OF the wages
etc., can be recovered, hut the costs
ALSO 1t is said that one Justice of
the peace has had 500 galnishmept
cases since the passage of the new law,
in which he has also collected the costs
from defendants According to this
statement he has Iesped ABOUT So, 900
alone from these cases. Employers in
this city are complaining about being
haIrsssed by collectors, officers and
courts, and it is stated that they will
demand that the law be repealed I'M
less the recent opinion of the Gu
preme Court puts stop to the whole
sale collection of costs from laboring
men. In recent Hamilton County
case judge Allison construed the law
to mean that only ~ per cent. of the
wages, ETC., of defendant can be cob
lected; that the costs may be applied
from this peIceDtag the first time,
but afterwards the plaintiff must pay
the cost themselves. Since the opinion
of the Supreme Court has been handed
down 1t is believed that justices of the
peace will take different view of the
matter and cease taxing the costs
against defendants and fewer garnlsh
ment cases will be entered.
