News From Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, April 1.-Through the
chairman, James Stackhouse, and the
secretary, B. F. Kelly, Of the South
Carolina State dispensary commis-
sion, the law firm Of Anderson, Eel
der, Rountree & Wilson has been not
ifed of the termination Of the legal
contract the firm held in dispensary
cases within 30 days. from March %.
The contract was made on May 9,
1907, and a clause provides for ter
rnination on notice within 80 days.
This notice has been served on the
] firm.
The commission claims the right to
all testimony, lists Of witnesses, and
all evidence held by the firm in con-
nection with the dispensary matter
and directs the same to be turned over
to Attorney General Lyon. The COM
mission says that it would be pleased
to have T. B. Fielder appear before
the commission and tell all he knows.
He has been requested to name the
date.
T. B. Fielder, who has handled the
dispensary matter principally for the
firm, says that the letter is amusing
and that the termination of the con-
tract really matters little, since the
business has all been practically
wound up. He declares he is unwil-
ling to believe that the dispensary
commission is trying to protect the
Richland Distilling company, which
case is still unsettled.

STRUGGLE FOR THE LAWYERS
Ten Per Cent Are Wealthy and
80 Per Cent Make a Fair Living.

The income of the average New York
LAWYER IS no greater than that Of patrol
man or a tradesmans clerk according to
the figures Just compiled by the member
ship committee, Of the New York County
LAWYERS Association, Of which Benno
Lewinson, of No. 3 Beekman street. IS
chairman. Mr.. Iewinson says there are sp-
pro1imately 1900 lawyers in greater New
York. or about one 10 every 215 inhabt-
tants. This provides an average Of three
or four clients to each lawyer.
Forty per cent Of all the lawyers are
having struggle for existence. Mr.. Levin
son SAYS. and 30 per cent are making "a
fair living" \ good income Is being earned
by - per cent. while 10 per cent are making
large profits" out of their profession. II
is this 10 per cent and their large profits
that "tempts" the young man with ambi-
ton Most Of these fellows don't under
stand that they would do much better to
20 into trades or study scientific farming
said the man Of statistics.
Mr.. Lewirson said that of the 10 per
cent among lawyers that are earning large
fortunes by far the larger part are men
whose names seldom appear in the papers.
Conversely. many OF the lawyers who ara
most talked about are not earning oxcep-
tionally large incomes.
In New York County there are 12132 prac-
titioners. and il is estimated that there are
1000 more in Kings. Queens and Richmond
boroughs About 100 names of illegitimate
practitioners have been stricken from the
list. The discipline committee Of the county
society intends to put an end to corporation
law firms or those which allow the business
of corporations TO be done in their names.
