YAM PATCH LEVY
TAKES IN TOO
MUCH GROUND
Georgia Court Holds Each Potato
Must Be Attached to Make
Order Stick.

If for some reason or other YOU
should wish to levy on potato patch
in Georgia. you must levy on each
separate and individual potato or
your old levy will not stay put.
That's what the Georgia Court of
Appeals says, and the court ought to
know about things Of that kind.
The decision fixing this rule was
handed down to-day in the case of
Russell VS.. the State, from the Louis
Vile City Court.
Russell. it seems, recently suffered
the humiliation of having his sweet
potato patch levied on for debt. and
the party proceeding, after serving
the process. put a big sign in the
middle of Russell's patch reading:
This potato patch has been levied
upon"
1t is a crime in Georgia to dispose
of property that has been levied on,
except through due process of law,
but Russell proceeded to "grabble" in
his patch and sold many potatoes for
good hard cash. the imposing and
sinister sign, Notwithstanding.
He was convicted in the Louisville
court, and appealed The Appeals
Court held that the levy covered en-
tirely too much territory and in an
altogether indisCriminate manner. It
ruled that potato patch collectively
