Court Addresses Weekly
Forum of G. of G.

In the passage of uniform laws fos-
tered by the American Bar association,
With the ain. OF having legal regulation
Of ordinary business affairs uniform in
all states. the Tennessee legislature has
kept our state on a par with any
OF the Eastern states" Justice Grafton
Green of the Tennessee supreme court
said il an address on Commercial
Law at the weekly forum luncheon OF
the Chamber OF Commerce Thursday
afternoon. The Tennessee legislature
has passed as, many of the uniform acts
as any other state"
Among the uniform acts which have
been passed in Tennessee, Justice Green
mentioned the negotiable Instruments
act, the partnership act. hill Of ladlng
act, cold storage act, and. lastly, the
uniform sales act,
This last named act, which was en-
acted into law ut the last session Of
the legislature. Justice Green discussed
at some length. showing what business
transactions it affects and some of the
ways in which its effect is different
from that of the old common laws and
other regulations which it supersedes
THE act affects all sales Of personal
property he said. Sales of land,
which is real estate, of course, are not
affected"
The following are some of the
changes he mentioned:
THE statute requires all contracts
for the sale Of property for a sum over
$500 to be in writing Before the pas
sage of the act man could refuse to
deliver personal property which he had
| sold and stand suit for damages,
| But the buyer may now compel him to
deliver the article sold
Heretofore IL c. O, y. shipment
were lost in transit the loss was on the
seller This statute puts the loss on
the buyer Further. relative to c. O. d.
| shipments. the buyer under the old law
| had a right to examine the article pur-
| chased in some cases before paying.
| Now, unless by special agreement be
| tween himself and the seller, the huycr
must pay before examining c. Q. y.

HOLIDAY TRAVEL
FINALLY REDUCED
Cancelling of Trains and
Slow Schedules Begins
to Show Effect.

The discontnuance of the passenger
trains with the resulting crowdng Of
trains still running, the slow schedules
and other inconvenience Of travelling
under the present circumstances is at
last resulting in reduction Of travel
At the joint ticket office Wednesday
the receipts from the sale of passenger
transportation was almost 80 per cent
less than for Wednesday Of last week
The ticket offices AZ the passenger
stations did not show nearly SO great
a falling off Of business. however At
the Grand Central station the sale of
tickets was only about five per cent
under normal, while at the union depot
the decrease was said not to be quite
rs per cent.
Considering the fact that about 2S
trains were discontinued out of the
Memphis stations, the manner in which
the travelling public is being handled is
very gratifying to the officials In
charge There is no denying that the
trains are very badly overcrowded in
most instances and that at times
standing room on the trains Is almost
at premium, but those who must trav-
eli realize the circumstances under which
the trains are being operated and are
making the best of conditions as they
find them
