Th,s act does not repeal our local
act of 1867. There is nothing
whatever to show an intention to
repeal local acts. / have already
said that the ordinary repeating
clause has no such effect on local
acts and this is shown by the fol
lowing authority

ior 5S7 500.

Therefore, am firmly of opin-
ion, that our local act of of 2 Feb.
1867 (b) is not rep( aled, but re
mains in full force. fs
Hon. w. Scott Alexander, of
this pace, was shown Judge
Rewe's OPINION, and was asked
what effect his Interpretation of
the Act of June |, 1907, and Of
the local laws of Franklin county,
would have on the pay of jurors
and witnesses IN Fulton county,
taking into consideration any 10
cal laws we might have on the
subject. After reading Judge
Rowe's opinion carefully, Sena
tor Alexander replied: Apply
ng Judge Rowe's Interpretation
of statutes TO the general laws
and to the local laws passed for
Fulton county, l am satisfied that
under the recent act, jurors in
Fulton county will be entitled to
$3.50 per day and mileage, while
witnesses will receive but one
dollar per day and mileage, if re-
siding more than one mile from
here, and but eighty cents, if
residents of, or within one mile
of the County Seat, as we have
q local law regulating the pay of
witnesses In tins County.
