ADVERTISING Of
LEGAL PAPERS
CALLED UNF AIR
Journal of Labor Scores County's
Change of Old Method as
Hardship on Public.

A striking editorial dealing with
the recent decision of the Sheriff,
the Ordinary and the Clerk of Fulton
County to upset the custom of years
and to insert the advertising of legal
papers in a high priced medium of
limited circulation-and that circuls-
ton almost entirely among members
of the legal profession-iS contained
in the current issue of The Journal
of Labor, the official organ of the la
Dor unions Of Georgia.
The Journal of Labor takes the
stand that the publication of the legal
advertising in The Fulton County
Daily Report, instead Of In newspa-
pers of general circulation, as here
tofore, will work a hardship upon the
average citizen, who rarely sees a
copy of The Report, and who could
hardly afford to pay s12 per year
for the privilege OF reading news Of
interest only to lawyers and those
directly interested In pending litiga-
ton.
Here is The Journal of Labor's
editorial:
Legal Notice Advertising.
The Journal of Labor has heard
complaints from its patrons. pro-
testing against the recently an
nounced change In the plan of adj
vertising legal notices In Fulton
County.
From time immemorial these no.
tees have been published alter
nately by the Atlanta newspapers
of general circulation, and the sys-
tenn has operated without friction,
or complaint from any source.
A recent change in the law con-
ferred upon the Sheriff, Ordinary
and Clerk Of Fulton County the
right to select the medium for pub
fishing legal notices, but the
amende law changed in no respect
the wise provision that the me-
dunn selected should be a newspa-
per of general circulation in the
community.
For some undisclosed reason the
new board recently selected The
Fulton County Daily Report as the
medium for publishing legal no.
tees during the next six months.
The Daily Report is a special
publication circulating almost ex-
clusively among lawyers and those
interested in the courts of Atlanta,
its function being to post parties

made under levies advertised in the
novel medium selected by the hoard
will be enjoined for failure of the
published notice required by law,
and The Journal of Labor will not
be surprised if the judges of the
State, in their desire to afford equal
benefit of the protection of the laws
to every class of its citizens, should
rebuke the selection made by the
board and enJoin Its operation.
The Journal OF Labor has no de-
sire to take from The Fulton Coun-
ty Daily Report any business which
1t might secure, but we feel in this
instance that the publication of
legal notices in such medium
would and will bring a hardship
upon some OF the working people
of the county The large property
owner has usually a man, often
lawyer, to lok after his real estate
holdings, and has some protection,
but the workingman must rely on
himself.

Another matter that l would sug

every class shall receive the same
em0ument.
Referring to the increase of $50 per
month in the salary of the City At

L. Mayson, the Mayor declares:
Not Time for Increase.
"T desire to state most emphatical-
Nv that with the present condition of

The Mayor is very emphatic in his
position about closing streets. He
