both May and the prince participated.

PEDDLER is ONE WHO
HAWKS GOODS, RULES
THE SUPREME COURT

According to the state supreme court
peddler, in the meaning of the Georgia
law licensing vending, is the person who
actually goes out in the highways and by
ways and hawks his goods. A person who
may hire the peddler is not a peddSer
at all.
The courts definition came as the re-
suit Of an appeal from the judgment of
the superior court of Tattnall county
made by s. p Smith, the sheriff and other
county officers, who had been enjoined
from licensing J. E. Whidden
Whidden, it seems, had peddled for a
Confederate veteran, who, under the law,
is not required to pay a license.
The high court held that Whidden was
the pedder because he did the hawking,
and, therefore, the clause exempting Con-
federate veterans did not apply to him.

This applies to all classes of ciga-
