Duckworth, Chief Justice,
concurring specially. I think that the decision in Crumley v. Gibbs, 149 Ga. 119 (99 S. E. 297), is ah arbitrary judicial amendment of a plain and unambiguous enactment of the legislature without any semblance of justification therefor in the language of that enactment. I would overrule that decision as being utterly unsound if the requisite number of my associates would agree to do so; but, in the absence of such an agreement, I have no alternative but to follow that decision and concur in the judgment. I am authorized to state that Almand, J., concurs in this special concurrence.
