LEGAL BLUNDERS.
A Queer Decree of Divorce Issued by
Paris Court.

Paris Court. @
Some years ago, II is said. a legal
blunder of most extraordinary char.
acter was committed In one Of the di.
yorce courts In Paris. By some mlsap-
prehension on the part of the presid,
ing judge, whose papers and mlnd had
got confused, he actually mistook the
name of an advocate who had been ar.
guing a petition for the name of ,ne
petitioner himself and in granting aud
signing the decree Of dissolution OF
marriage of the petitioner unwittingly
substituted the advocates name fol
the petitioners and thus divorced the
lawyer from his wife instead Of grant.
ing the prayed for release of the advo
Gates client AS the lawyer had no de
sire for separation from his wife and
as there was no process for annulling
an absolute decree for divorce. even to
meet such a remarkable case, 1t be-
came necessary through this judicial
error for the man of law to remarry
his spouse without delay, and this be
did.
A somewhat similar error was com,
mitted In the English court of chan
Gerry. There had been a litigation over
some property, which was held by one
man and claimed by another of the
same name. In evading some order Of
the court the holder Of the property
had committed contempt, and on
this being called to the attention of
the Judge an order issued for the sum
moning, not of the guilty party. but Of
the claimant of the same surname. and
the order. very severe one, was &C
tually In execution before the error was
discovered.-New York Press.

The Shame OF Atlanta
PaUperizing Her De-
serving Poor

Atlanta, Ga. The unusually
large number of requests for books
and clothing for school children
made at tie Associated Charities
his week may result in an agita-
ton for free text books to be
furnished by the city.
More than 10 children were
furnished with books by the chart
ties Office and a like number was
given clothes. This is by far the
largest number of white children
who have been aided in this man
ner IN Atlanta, and is an indicA-
ton to social workers that the city
authorities will eventually have
to cope with the problem Officially.
On this score Joseph Logan,
secretary of the Associated CHAR
ties, has TINS 10 say:
"While the increase in children
dependent upon the public for
education has been rapid. it has
only kept pace with the growth of
the city. Atlanta will see more of
it in the future.
"Whether it will be practical
for the city to attempt to furnish
school books free to all pupils !
can not say, but | believe that
the city should undertake to equip
those pupils whose parents are IN
aoIe to provide even suitable
clothes for their children to wear
to school,"

Church To Solve
YeXi1g Problem
Provides Wholesome Sports
and Proper Environment

Atlanta, Ga. When the new
Central Baptist church is complet-
ed at Whitehall and Cooper streets
the entire bottom floor Of the S75, !
600 building will be for young
people and children. In it will be
swimming pool, bowling alley,
skating rink, complete gymnasium
and other equipment for athletic
sports.
The plans for the building have
been decided on and workmen
will begin its construction within
the next few days.
"Our church will be the only
one Of its kind in the South" said
DIR. c. A. Ridley, pa, tor today.
''Besides the opportunities for
amusement we will give every
member of the Sunday school, we
are going TO arrange special par
Tor for the Boy Scouts and one for
the. girls.
Every arrangement has been
made for the convenience of Young
DeoDte. Shower baths. private
lockers, and many other inviting
features are included in the plans.
The decision to erect church
to appeal to children came after
several months OF consideration
BY DR.. Ridley and others of the
church.
Several months ago the idea o.
working for their enjoyment was
first put into practice IN a material
way, at the present building, Gar
nett and Forsyth streets, and now
over 200 children gather at the
church daily.
A. K. Hawkes., president of the
a. X. Hawker Optical Company,

terested in the plans and have con-
tributed several hundred dollars to
aid in the work.

Attorney General Declines
To Pull Journal Out Of Hole
Says it Is Improper for Him
to Give Decision.
Governor Browns Appoin-
tees Hold Good.

The attorney-genera cites the
law under which his opinions may
be asked and obtained, and plants
himself squarely upon it in de-
clining Professor Pond request,
via Superintendent Britain.
The attorney-general's letter
follows:
Il am in receipt of our letter
of the 18th inst. conveying the
request Of Professor Jere Nd.
Pound for my opinion as to the
validity Of his membership on the
state board of education" under
the facts recited.
Replying thereto, l beg to say
that the constitution Of the state
makes it the duty of the attor-
neyzgeneral to act as the legal
adviser Of the executive depart
ment." To render an opinion on
the question presented by Prof.
Pound would require that | re-
view and pass upon the legality
of an executive order of the gov
ernor and certain Of his acts as
chairman Of the state board OF
education. To do this in the alb
sence of a request from the gov
ernor would be an improper use
of my Office. Indeed, | am with
out authority Of law to give the
opinion unless request for the
same should come from the gov
ernor. The duty Of the attorney
new general in this regard la pre-
scribed by statute, which is pre-
scribed as follows:
"Tt is the duty Of the attorney
general when required so to do
by the governor.
-" To give his opinion in writ
ING. or otherwise, on any ques-
ton of law connected with the
interest of the state, or with the
duties of any of the depart
ments.
I do not, therefore, deem it
proper for me to render the opin-
ion requested by Prof. Pound.

New Inspectors
Are Appointed
Commissioner Conner Gives
Out List Of appointments.

The six fertilizer inspectors
who Under the new law are to
devote their entire time to the
work and who are to receive a
salary of S1O0 per month each,
were appointed by co nmissioner
of Agriculture j. J. Conner and
their commissions issued.
In addition the Commission
er appointed twelve Of the new
oil inspectors. There will be 100
to 140 of these oil inspectors, one
being located at each station
where oil is kept in tank in bulk.
Under the new law the fees of
the oil inspectors were materially
reduced, but at points where gas.
oline and naphtha are kept they
will have considerable more work
to do, as these are also subject to
inspection, and their incomes will
not be so largely reduced.
Both the oil and fertilizer in
spectors are appointed for two
years and cannot be removed ex-
cept malfeasance in office or some
other like cause Warranting the
removal Of a county officer.
The six long-term fertilizer in
spectors are as follows:
J. E. Brown, of Newman.
Louis Garfunkel, of Savannah.
w. D. Brumbeloe, Of Barnes
vile.
M. H. Field, of Marietta.
w. w. Roberts, Of Gainesville.
In addition to the foregoing
there are forty short term inspec-
tors to be appointed, who will
serve only four months in each
year, but who will hold their
commissions for a period of
two years. Commissioner Con-
nor stated he would make these
appointments between now and
October 1.
