II the actions of various grand jul
ries throughout the state count for
anything, the next Georgia Legislature
certainly will throw some rigid re-
strictions around the pistol traffic in
side the state.
The grand 1uries Of Floyd and Clarke,
two Of the big counties, already have
adopted memorials to the legislature
calling upon It to ask that their sale
be prohibited absolutely in it's territory
and other smaller counties have fol-
lowed suit.
AS a matter OF fact, the smaller
counties are more bitterly opposed to
loose traffic in firearms than the larger
ones.
BY the time the legislature assem-
bles in June it is likely that the anti
pistol movement will have assumed
such proportions that the law makers
will respond readily to the demands
made upon them.

The case comes up, too. curiously

The defendant, in assembling the
jury, challenged one of the panel on
the ground of competency, because he
had stated that he was 90 years of age
that day. The point was made against
the challenged party that he had en-
tered his 61st year, and was, therefore,
beyond the age limit set for jurymen.
The state held that the juryman still
was in his Goth year on his birthday,
and was, therefore, competent
The Juryman was permitted to serve
and it Is. upon the question Of the
exact time Of his entering hts 61st year
that the case appealed turns.
