material and great financial aid
towards the construction of five
different churches.
The deceased never fully re-
covered from the effcts due to
exposure while in the army and
as the years advanced he felt
them in a more aggravated form,
but always bore his sufferings
patiently. He was a strong
character. The sweetness Of his
spirit and manner, the breadth
of his charity, the intenseness of
his conviction, the strength of
his intellect, the saneness of his
concept of Christian duty, and
his trustworthiness made him a
patent factor for good. Every

Opinion is Wanted On
New GarniShment Law

Atlanta, Sept. IA. Consider
able rumpus is being raised ir
various Georgia cities as the re-
suit of the application of the
garnishment law passed by the
last general assembly. This law
subjects to garnishment for debt
so per cent of all salaries and
wages in excess of SIPS a day.
The law has been invoked in
numerous cases. in Savannah and
Macon, and in these cities it is
said a number of individuals have
taken bankruptcy when garni-
sheed. An important point which
has been raised in connection
with the application of this law
is whether wages earned since
the passage of the act are subject
to garnishment for debts incur
red prior to its passage.
The law itself does not touch
on this point, and it is said that
many firms and individuals are
bringing garnishment suits for
debts incurred before the law
was passed. Those who are re-
siSting these suits contend that
neither this nor any other law
can be retroactive-that a law
only applies to conditions which
come into existence after its pas
sage.
Attorney General Warren Grice
was asked Friday morning for
an official ruling on this point.
The request was presented by a
delegation representing the Saw
annah Trades and Labor assem-
bly,, which delegation was headed
by I. t. Smith. the president OF
that organization.
The attorney general declined
to place a construction upon the
law. He took the position that
the state code provides that he
is to furnish written opinions or
the construction of laws to the
! governor and other state house
officials and even then only or
laws pertaining to their depart.

10 speak with the authority of an

is therefore postponed in the hope
that the patriotism of all parties will

That a settlement Of the question
was regarded as hopeful was evinced
this afternoon when all the party
leaders on the home rule issue re-
opened their conference.

working to the limit today. Russia's
mobilization of troops is believed to
be complete, though the czar's gov

Congressman Kennedy.

As Mr Kennedy has had his chance and has failed to make good he need not complain if the voters turn him down, as they now intend to do. If he could accomplish nothing in year and a half he could accomplish noth- ing if left there longer. There is no reason why the voters should delay the date of his retirement. He will have drawn at least s15.0o0 for his two years in congress. The voters naturally feel that this is too much money to waste. It is a fact, and a justified fact, that MT.
