Deed From Husband to Wife and
Necessary Consideration,

Union City, Ga, Feb. Is, 1913
TO the Peoples Counsel: Where I
came from it was necessary to have
trustee appointed before proper
ty could be decided to a mans wife.
| am anxious to turn over to my
wife our home place, as l have been
collecting, for several years, the
rent from a small farm belonging
to her, near this place. We have
been advised that it can't be done.
l.. 3. T.
In matters Of this character, where
the parties are able and have an OPP
portunity to do so, counsel should be
employed, as it is the purpose of this
department to assist those who are
unable to employ counsel or have not
the means or opportunity to secure ac-
curate information pertinent to the
subject being considered.
"A husband may make deed, in
Georgia, directly to his wife and such
deed is valid without the Intervention
of a trustee. A husband may be in
debted to the wife for the rents of her
separate real estate and such bona fide
indebtedness is a valuable considera-
ton to support deed from him to her.

Marriage of Party Not of Lawful AGE.


Griffin, Ga. Feb. q, 1s1S.-To the
Peoples Counsel: AS a constant
reader of your daily paper, l take
the liberty to ask through your
Law Department a few questions
pertaining to the laws governing
marriages. An acquaintance of
mime was married some years ago
IN western state, the laws of
Whlch required the contracting par

sent. The woman was in her
twenty second year, but the man
was only eighteen; nevertheless.

eloped to another city and upon
oath the man surrendered his age
TO the license clerk as 81. The
woman also, upon oath, stated I'M
ruthfully that she had never been
married before. Kindly advise me
whether or not the marriage would
De considered legal and binding.
They are still married, the man
having reached his twenty eighth
year. A READER.
A marriage as in the instant case
although declared by law to be void
may, nevertheless, be ratified and con-
f1rmed by continuing after arriving al
a lawful age. In other words, by living
as husband and wife, the par
ties completed and confirmed an in
choate and imperfect marriage. I'm
der the circumstances the marriage is
legal and binding.

HELD FOR THEFT,

"If | Stole That Lady's Coat.
Do Not Remember It," As
serts Ben Cohen.

Ben Cohen. the young Russian held
by detectives as a clever office building
thief. today in his cell in the police
station told a remarkable story as to
his identity, asserting that he is the
only son of Alexander Sarcardin. a
millionaire manufacturer of Moscow,
Russia, and who. he says, is a close
personal friend of Car Nicolas and
member of the nobility.
Cohen, who appears to have been a
blacksheep, is well connected in this
country, being related to several prom
inent Atlantans.
Members OF the local Federation of
Cohen's story, said there was no doubt
that Cohen's father is wealthy.
Cohen indicated today that he would
plead insanity when arraigned for his
latest escapades. He declared he was
almost continually tortured by pains
in his head and that at times he seem
ed as though in a stupor, his mind fire.

AS he talked, the prisoner pressed his
hands to his head and complained of
pains.
I'm afraid there's something serious
the matter with my head" he said, as
panied expression crossed his face.

Served Year on Changing.
This attitude Is due to the fact that
this is not Cohen's first offense in At
lanta, and because he failed to make
good after the organization had helped
him in his former troubles.
Cohen. who has been in Atlanta but
two pears, served twelve months in the
Changing for an alleged swindle. and
remained in Jail about four months on
still another charge.

the honest citizen. who has to pay an
increased premium to cover the incen
diary loss
Calls Arson a Habit.
Mr.. johnson very frankly calls the
result the fire habit" Incendiary
fires in New York, he says, are well
nigh open.
The practice has developed the fire
habit in certain lines of trade" he de-
clared. THE greater proportion of fires
in the shirtwaist trade, the fur indus
try. the hat and cap makers, the leath-
err goods work, flowers and feathers,
embroidery. novelties and toys, are of
suspicious origin.
These suspicious fires usually occur
in off season." he says. The hre de-
.partment generally knows when to eX-
pect an unusual number of fires in Ger
tain districts In New York by consult
ing the calendar. We even attempt to
friehten prospective incendiaries by
looking ND the financial rating OF the
firms in various lines of trade ana SEND

insnect but they usually leave silent
warning.
GOTTEN that does not deter them.
however They have become very clever
in destroying evidences of 1ncenola-
rism. AS long as we have no proof
they can defy us. They can count on
the insurance companies paying, and
tbst is all they care about. There IL
one sbirtwaist manufacturer IN Ne"
York who has become rich on the pro-
ceeds of nine fires. yet he is heavily
insured today. There is nothing to pre-
vent him collecting on that, too,
An Instance Of Arson.
Mr. Johnson relates specific instances
Of arson one of which embodied an at
tempt to burn up some old horses
locked in a stable. Two of the AMI
mails were soaked in kerosene.
trucL,man. Louis Evans, he says, had
obtained 81 400 insurance on the rep
rosep+ation that he had seven horses,
worth 5000 apiece But the hrebugs
u.ore traced to the stable and arrested.
The horses afterward were sold for
$416 apiece.
Mr. Johnson has a simple remedy
for the pernicious system. He would
ask only that careful investigation Of
every applicant be made; that appli-
cants who figured in previous suspi-
cious fires be refused; that joint bu-
reau of information be established;
that agents be placed under bond TO in
sure observance of laws; that expert
advice on values be obtained. and that
the companies be made responsible for
,lH. character of their agents.

control over the Insurance companies

ant of four hes of incrnday origin.

Title Remains in Defendant After
JUDGMENT.

Title Remains in Defendant After
Judgment.
Fairburn, Ca, Feb. Is, 1913.-To
the Peoples Counsel: Last March I
loaned $3.50 to a merchant in this
city. One of the notes which I
received at that time is past due,
and / have secured Judgment
against him. I understand he is
selling his property and I want to
know if the title to the property is
not in me. B. A.
A judgment creditor does not acquire
the legal title to the property of the de-
PENDANT in the judgment. His tudg-
ment gives him a lien on the property
OF the defendant, which he has right
to assert by levy and sale, and when
the property is brought regularly to
sale the legal title passes to the pur-
chaser through the sheriffs deed. The
creditors lien gives him a right to levy
to the exclusion of all subsequent in
cumbrances, and by levy and sale the
title of the purchaser relates back to
the date of the judgment. But until
levy and sale the title remains in the
defendant and he may alien the prop
erty, always, however, subject to the
of the judgment lien.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 10, 1913.-To

certificate to stock on the books of
the company before title passes

A SUBSCRIBER.
Except as against the claims of the
corporation, a transfer of stock does
not require transfer on the books of
the company The main reason for en-
tering transfer of stock on the books
is to afford notice as to the ownership

This visitor. I've said,
From out a small hote
Did pop her wee head
But that wasn't all,
Cross the room mousie sped,
Giving those near it
A feeling of dread.
20! hold up your feet!'
The first girl then cried,
AS she grabbed up her book
And jumped to one side.
The girls all obeyed,
But to my surprise
The teacher not even
Attempted to rise.
l didn't know teachers
Could be very calm
When such as a mousie
Gave cause for alarm.
The teacher smiled family
And then tapped the bell,
But what she was thinking
| really can't tell
But this ! do know.
That | stayed after school
For giggling and laughing
And breaking a rule.
l blame you, Atlanta,
That l had to stay in,
For the way you treat us
Is simply sin,
For you refuse a new building
Without holes In the floor,
Where mousies can't live
And cause troubles galore

Loss by Cholera.

The loss by hog cholera in the
fourth district during the past
eight weeks has amounted to about
$4,000. 1t is estimated that about
400 hogs have died of the disease.
The most unfortunate thing con
nected with the disease is the care
less way carcasses of the dead ami
mails are allowed to lie exposed
until carried away by buzzards and
dogs, thereby leaving germs on the
ground wherever a part happens
to touch. These germs are said to
live for years, and when the soil
on a place becomes injected with
them il is very difficult to raise
hogs again. We need law com.
peIling owners of dead animals to
burn them.
Those who used the cholera
serum in time saved their hogs.

Hook Worm Injection Light IA
Claiborne County.

Out of $50 microscopical exami-
nations in this county for hook
worm infection we find only three
Cd cases OF infection. This IS the
highest infection found 10 any
county of the state. While we
fnd the infection to be very light,
yet it is the more important that
the people as : whole should be
examined and every case Of intec-
ton located in the county and then
take treatment snd be cured of this
disease, and il IS much easier to
eradicate the disease when the In
lection is light. Without this the
infection viii spread, more people
will become infected or contract
the disease, and eventually your
county would become heavily in
fected. While the injection here
is less than I per cent now, these
cases untreated will act as a car
rier of the disease and the per cent
will increase and possibly would
be as great as in some of the other
counties of the states where the
infection was as great as 76 per
cent. This should appeal to every
citizen OF the county to the extent
that he will join hands and be a
worker in this campaign.
Visit our dispensary points and
encourage the work.
