EXEMPTIONS CAN
STILL Be SOLD
IMPORTANT RULING JUST MADE
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL
FIELDER.

A ruling just made by Attorney
General Fielder will prove of much in
terest to military organizations in this
state, as well as those who want to
buy jury exemptions.
The commanding officer of one of
the battalions in the state wrote Ad-
jutant General Obear asking him if
company commander could sell jury
exemption to rare~'' = side of the
company j. N'ch the c.lupany was
located, and i &C exemption would
relieve the pa. chaser from jury duty
in any county in the state.
General Obear referred this query
that there was nothing in the law to
prevent the sale of jury exemptions
by military companies to persons re-
siding anywhere within the conEnes
of the state, and that the purchaser
would be exempt from jury duty read
or Street tax in any local or state
court in Georgia.
This will make it possible now for
military companies to sell their jury
exemptions wherever in the state, Civ
ing companies in small towns spe-
cial advantage in that particular
Under the law each military com
pany in the state is entitled to thirty
jury exemptions at $25 each, and the
sale of these has proven big help
to che organization. According to the
new Iuling a cOmDany in Bibb county
can sell its exemptions in any county
in the state, and the holder will en-
Joy all it's benefits
Adiutant General Obear has re-
ceived notice that the war depart
ment has assigned regular army Off
GERS for the annual inspection of the
national guard of the state. Major
Palmer will make the inspection for
the state, and work will begin jan
uary 16, continuing through to April
next.

INSTITUTION NEEDED.

Iowa City Citizen-The great need
of an Iowa institution for the care Of
the advanced cases Of tuberculosis ia
brought to the attention OF the Oak.
dale authorities with convinc-
Ing force almost every day Of the
dozen and more cases refused each
week at Oakdale ninety per cent are
unable financially to take advantage
OF change OF climate treatment or
the treatment offered where advanced
cases are accepted at rates ranging
from $25 to $50 per week. A most de-
serving case of this character was
refused admittance at Oakdale last
Friday. A young married woman, for
eign born, came to the sanitarium
from Wright county for examination
and treatment. Examination showed
that she was practically in the last
stages of consumption and could not
possibly be accepted for treatment.
The woman was heart broken at tho
decision, but bravely held the tears
in check as she started on her home
ward journey. Her husband IL a la
borer and earns meager living at
best. There is always the possibility
of holding an advanced case such as
this in check and bare possibility
Of eventually arresting the disease,
provided proper care be given. The
woman's husband cannot pay for her
treatment at private sanitarium, he
has not money enough to take her to
a different climate, and the state Of
Iowa has not an institution to care
for cases like hers. What will become
of the poor woman? There Is only
one answer. Not only will she suffer
until death relieves her, but she will
be source of dangerous infection to
her neighborhood while she lives.
There are hundreds of cases similar
to this In Iowa today. How much
longer will this grand old state ne
elect and endanger the lives of her
citizens by procrastination In the
matter of providing an institution to
care for advanced cases of tuberou.

Detectives say they nipped a scheme

Judge Massie was shot, strapping

and Detective Feltz searched all who

The presence of strapping depu-
