,l,.red-This Case to Go to the Sn
,,rente Court.
j .... Thomas M. Norwood of the City
r-" j h;ts just handed down an import
,,, , -ion bearing upon the legal char
..r of the code of Georgia, which will
to lawyers here and in other
r '; s of the slate.
. preme Court now has before it
slimlar to that contained in this
( ,f judge Norwood’s, and in fact
~iy rendered an opinion upon one
the case, different from that
v Hch wts given by Judge Norwood. The
„ . Court, however, has not passed
J, p>n particular case, and Judge Nor
j-.. cision was rendered before the
ci j- nit Court passed on the subject.
“' Thc c i?e was that of Reed Toney
ljn ,i Savananh, Florida and West-
Italh-ead, damages for personal injti
xoney was injured in Ware county.
His home, however, is in Chatham county,
an j rought suit in the City Court of
Savanna . Under the act of Dec. 20, 1892,
]t i9 required that suit must be brought
in the county wliere the injury occurs, and
thin i ' law as passed at that time con
tinue. "Provided that said suit may be
brought ia the county where the principal
offin of said railroad company is located.
If the plaintiff should reside in said
county."
When the suit came up for trial it was
htd bv the attorneys for bhe defense that
untkr the law this suit would have to be
brought in Ware county. It was shown
thut the proviso with reference to (he
residence of (he plaintiff as above quoted,
was .>inii!• 1 from the code of 1596, and it
w.is claimed, therefore, that when the
legislature adopted that code the proviso
was thereby repealed, eo that it was no
longer a part of the law of the state.
(•ouurel for the plaintiff contended that
although tlie proviso had not been put in
the code it was a law of the state just
as much as the laws which were found
in the code. The failure to codify it did
not repeal it, it was urged, and Judge
Norm lii in ible opinion sustained that
view of (he case.
judge Norwood took up the history of
the code and showed how it was broug.it
about. He showed clearly how the adop
tion of ihe code by the legislature could
r. legally create any new' laws, repeal
any old ones nor amend any of those in
exis't ne. There are several coneili u
tion.il requirements in connection wiih the
pas.- g. of laws by the legislature, the
result of years of careful study on the
part of legislators, and in passing laws
tin general assembly must conform to
those constitutional provisions. In the
first pi: • the title of any bill introduced
in the legislature must indicate what is
the subje. i matter of the bill, and must
noi lb a from it in any way. In ihe
s, -I ;lae no bill or resolution in Ihe
legi-la’ 1.- can contain more than <ne
subje. matter; if it does it is unconsii
tutloi.al. In Ihe third place every bill
before ii becomes a law has to be real
three times in each house of the gensral.
assembly.
In tin case of the code, not one of these
constii iitional requirements was complied
with; therefore, the adoption of the code
dot, imi create, repeal or amend any
laws. It is merely the adoption as a legal
standard, of a codified form of the laws
of the state.
Judge Norwood’s reasoning may be read
ily understood from the foregoing. He
decides among other things, that the
omission of a law or any part of a law
from the code does not repeal that law or
port of law. Nor does the insertion In
the code of any statement that has not
previously hem enacted into law, make
•hat statement law. For if it did the
codifiers might put in a provision against
riding bicycles on the street on Sunday
and subject citizens to great inconven-
Ihi t. or something of that sort. Such
an inserted provision would not be law,
and would be of no effect.
Tim Supreme Court has rendered a de
ruuon in the effect practically that omit
b 1 (tonkins of laws, such as the forego
ing proviso, are not laws, but still has
under consideration the question as to
wai liter tiie adoption of the code makes
evir.it.-mu; in it law, whether put there

fThe athletic
woman is the wo
man of the day.
IvThe past twenty
years has seen
I wonderful pro-
I gress in this re
/ spect. That this
tendency will re
sult in a more ro
bust womanhood,
better able to bear
the burdens and
duties and pleas
ures of life, there
can be no ques
tion. But this
result will be ac
complished by
■ the building up
of those women
already in rea
sonably robust
health, and the
killing off of their
weaker sisters.
Athletics will
make a nnturally strong woman stronger
and healthier ; they will make a naturally
rveak, sickly woman weaker and more
sickly, and if indulged in to excess, may
result fatally.
A woman who suffers from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
gans distinctly feminine, cannot hope to
recover her general health through ath
letics, so long as she remains locally weak.
A woman suffering in this way is unfitted
to bear the strain of athletics just as much
as she is unfitted to Wear the duties and
burdens of Wifehood and motherhood.
There is a sure, safe, speedy and perma
nent cure for all disorders of this descrip
tion. It is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion. It acts directly on the organs con
cerned in wifehood and maternity, making
them strong and healthy and vigorous, ft
soothes pain, allays inflammation, heals
ulceration and tones the nerves. It fits a
woman to indulge in, and be benefited by,
athletics. All good medicine stores sell it.
" Your valuable ' Favorite Prescription ’ cured
me of female weakness and a catarrhal dis
charge from the lining membrane of the special
parts,’’ writes Mrs. T. H. Parker, of Brooklyn.
Jackson Cos„ Mich. "I am now perfectly well."
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets cure consti
pation. Constipation is the cause of many
diseases. Cure the cause and you cure the
disease. One “Pellet” is a gentle laxa
tive, and two a mild cathartic. Druggists
sell them, and nothing is “just as good.”

During June the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad handled almost li),000 troops in
their movement to camps. They were car
ried in detachments of from fifty to 500,
showing that the regiments are rapidly
being filled with the required number.
During the past keck the road handled
about 1,000 recruits from New York and
points along the line as far West as Chi
cago to Camp Alger and to Chiekamauga.
The Southern Railway Company has let
the contract for the erection of a magnifi
cent depot at Grecnboro, N. C. The new
structure will be 50 by 100 feet, three sto
ries in hight. Stone and hydraulic pressed
brick will be the principal materials used
in the building, with white enamel terra
cotta trimmings. It is to be ready for
occupancy by the Ist of January next.
It is announced that the salaries of all
the engineers and firemen on the North
ern Fac-flc Railroad are to be advanced at
least 15 per cent., commencing this month.
It is also reported that conductors are to
receive an Increase in wages.
For the first time in at least ten years
commodity rates on merchandise from
points in.Ontaii<# to export points in the
United 'States, especially New Y’ork, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore, will be advanced
on the ilth inst. Both the Canadian Pa
cific and the Grand Trunk Line joined with
American lines in the Increase. Six classes
of commodities are affected to the extent
of 10 per cent.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has decided that railroad companies mak
ing a charge for excess of baggage of pas
sengers shall be required to affix a one
cent stamp to bills of lading covering such
excess in the same manner as express
companies are required to stamp their
bills of lading. Will the passenger or the
railroad pay the tax?
Before the revised trans-continental
freight rates had been in effect a week, a
big Western line offefled to carry a ship
ment of pianos and organs to the Pacific
coast at a cut of $1.16 per ICO pounds. This
is but one more evidence of the worthless
ness of rate agreements.

TORY BY A CANYON POPPER.
Frank Bnfler Injured by a Fire
Cracker Explosion.
Mr. L. P. Masters has received word
that his nephew, Frank Butler, a Savan
nah boy with the Columbus, 0., base ball
team, sustained serious injuries to his
hand Monday at Indianapolis by the ex
plosion of a large fire cracker. Mr. Mas
ters is expecting a letter soon giving more
information about the accident.
The accident will b* regretted by a score
of the young man's friends and admir
ers in Savannah. This is his third season
with the Columbus team, and it is re
ported he was muking a better success
than at any lime previous. The accident
will bo the more deplored If It causes the
loss of the hand, though Mr. Masters
has a telegram from the physician in
charge of the ease stating he thinks it
can be saved, notwithstanding it is badly
lacerated.
REPAIRS TO THE PEST HOUSE.
Will Re Recommended by the Health
Officer.
Health Officer LeHardy Is preparing a
report for the sanitary board on the sub
ject of repairs needed at the pest house.
He went there several days ago at the in
stance of the board to make the examina
tion.
It is understood there Is some opposition
to spending any money on the pest house.
There is not sufficient reason apprehended
it will be needed, it is claimed, and to
expend money on It, except In an emer
gency, would be to no purpose. Dr. Lc-
HarJy’s report, however, will show that
the house cannot be used until some urgent
vgepairs are made.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 7. IBD3.
EX-CONVICT MADE CONSTABLE.
His Acts Likely to Get Justice King
in Trouble Again.
Justice McLeod King may have
trouble with the grand Jury. This time
it will be the result of swearing in a ne
gro but recently off the chain-gang r.s
a special officer to make arrests and (hen
issuing warrants broadcast on the as
sertions of this officer. The constable Is
already in jail on a charge of perjury
growing out of the case and it was stated
yesterday afternoon that the matter would
probably be investigated by the grand
jury. o
Joe Freeman is the negro. After the
justice had made him an officer of the
law Freeman was given a warrant o
serve on Mattie Williams, living in Lum
ber street. When lie went to make the
arrest a number of negroes living in the
vicinity, and who know Freeman and
his record, laughed att live idea of his be
ing a constable and made fun of his l ew
dignity. This aroused Freeman's ire,
and after placing the Williams woman in
jail he swore out a number of warrants
before Justice King. Martha Gadsden,
Mary Ella Mitchell, Flem Best and Mil
ton Williams were arersted and two or
three o the re were wanted on similar war
ranis. Those arrested were taken before
Justice King, and as tftbjf could not pay
for the peace bond required wore sent to
Jail.
Someone then swore out a warrant
charging the ex-chain-gang constable with
perjury and Justice Naughtin sent him to
jail to await the action of the grand
jury. The solicitor general’s attention
was directed to the case and the discharge
of ail the parties firrested by Freeman and
put in jail by Justice King was ordered.
It has been frequently charged that
some Justices of Lhe peace have been in
the habit of issuing warrants on trivial
charges to make the prisoners pay $3 for
drawing up bonds for them. It is prob
able that as a result of this case tiie
grand jury may make a thorough inves
tigation into this matter.
DISSENSIONS AT QUARANTINE.
Difference* Over the Management of
fhe Station.
Some of the officials in charge of the
quarantine station are not of one mind as
to the manner of doing work there. The
result is a heated correspondence may fol
low in the near fuiure. For some time it
has been apparent thut some of the of
ficials exercising authority are not in ac
cord.
This indirectly grows out of the fact
that the station is controlled by commit
tees and officials, with no definite head.
When a matter comes up for attention at
quarantine the number concerned is large
enough to oftentimes give rise to a pro
longed argument as lo the manner of ex
ecuting the work, which tends to delay
more than dispatch matters. An illustra
tion of this is in the recent request of the
quarantine officer to have a derrick mast
repaired or replaced with another. The
matser stood two or three days between
officials arguing as to the best, way io do
the work, after which the chairman of the
committee on harbors and wharves let
the contract.
There has been more or less dissension,
too, over the place where ballast should
be dumped, which is yet far from settle
ment.
Mayor Meldrun stfUcd in regard lo
those in authority that the hygienic con
trol of the station is with the sanitary
board, while the physical part of the
work is in charge of the committee on
harbors and wharves. The executive offi
cer of the sanitary board is Health Offi
cer Lellardy, and City Engineer Winn
of the committee on harbors and wharves.
Complaint is heard from this commit
tee on account of the large amount of coal
consumed by the tug Theckla. It is claim
ed it require? about a ton a day to keep
the tug running. This is due, of course,
to the number of trips taken to the sta
tion, which members of the committee
claim could be curtailed and still carry
on quarantine business properly.
POLITICS UP IN EFFINGHAM.
Legislative Race a Walk Over for
Rawls and Groveustein.
Effingham county promises to be well
stirred up by i>ohtics between now and
the fall election. The legislative race has
resolved itself into a watk-over for Col.
Morgan Rawls for the House and Mr. A.
N. Grovenstein for the Senate.
Col. Rawls has agreed to take another
term in the House, It is stated, leaving
the road clear for Mr. Grovenstein. Ef
fingham's probable choice for the Senate
was at one time a conductor on the Cen
tral, and also served as assistant pay
master for the road. Then he engaged ill
merchandising at Guyton, and Is now a
farmer near there.
Five candidates are expected in the con
test for the office of county sheriff. They
are Hie incumbent, W. \V. Griffin; ins
former deputy, J. R. Ziitrouer; E. F. Bird,
the town marshal of Guyton, and prob
ably Berry Smith and J. J. Hinely. The
first three, aj least, will be in the race,
it is said. There will lie candidates for
other offices of the county, and as the
Pops may make a tight, also, for tiie
piums, the next three months will be full
of interest to politicians up’ that way.

put an cud to. The nominal value of the
notes alleged to bear forged signatures
was 575,000 gulden, or nearly $300,000, but
as they were money lenders' notes, and
court influence was brought to bear in
hushing the matter up, the sum paid in
settlement was probably much smaller.
Strangely enough the person who repre
sented tlie princess In the transaction was
her wronged husband, Prince Philip of
Saxe-Coburg, her fairer, the King of the
Belgians, having refused to interfere in
any way.
The story of these not**. as told in the
Berlin Borsen-Coui ier, on what it assert*
to be high authority, is as follows: In June
a year ago outsiandlng notes of the
princess to the amount of 3U0.0C0 gulden
fed due, and her creditors presented them
for payment. Their dealings had never
been with the princess personally, but
always with u certain lieutenant, who pro
fessed to represent her, the Lieut. Mui
taele, with whom she eloped. On this oc
casion he asked the creditors for an ex
tension of time and for a further loan
of 275,0C0 gulden. They lie id back, but
offered to lend the money if all the paper
was indorsed by the Emperor of Austria
or the King of Btlgiuih. Later they agreed
to accept tne indorsement of the Crown
Princess Stephanie instead. Notes with
her indorsement and bearing u high rate
of Interest were thereupon given to them.
One of the money lenders happened to
look ln)o a shop window one day, and
saw 1 there a picture of the crown princess,
with her signature underneath. It struck
him thru the handwriting was not the
same as that on his notes, and lo clear
the matter up he made inquiries at the
crown princess’ palace. Though not ad
mitted lo her presence, he obtained from
her an explicit declaration that she had
never signed u promissory note of any kind
in iter life, lie went straight to the yx>li e
with his story, and the police informed the
court chamberlain. In answer to ills In
quiries, the crown prince.)* repeated her
assertion that she had never signed any
, form of note.
By this time Princess Louise and her
lover had reached a country mat near
Agram, In the course of their journey, and
the police set about separating them. The
lieutenant was decoyed to Agram on tlie
pretext of a medical examination being
needed for an application for sick leave
he had sent in. As he was known to go
about armed, the police waited till he was
stripped before ihe doctor before arrest
ing him. Meanwhile the princess was car
ried off to Vienna on a special train, and
confined in a private asylum, where the
doctors are to watch her for six months
before deciding on the question of her
mental responsibility. Thi re she declared
that she had never troubled herself with
business matters, that she knew nothing
of Crown Princess Stephanie’s In
dorsements, anil that she did not under
stand why Ihe crown princess should tie
dragged into her. affairs, and, moreover,
had never heard of the notes.
These statements gave promise of a live
ly lawsuit. Her family, however, had
come to the conclusion thal the Princess
Louise hail attained sufficient notoriety,
and that the ease must he stifled. On King
Leopold’s flat refusal to intervene, Prince
'Philip, the husband, reluctantly stepped
in and has closed that phase of the scan
dal.

From the New. York Sun.
The following extract from a private let
ter written by a clever woman who lives
at Wellington, New Zealand, shows how
interested the people in that far-away
part of the globe are in American success:
"Of course I am deeply Interested in the
war and have rejoiced at every advantage
gained by the United Slabs. There Is
much excitement in the colonics over it
and complete sympathy with your country.
The battle of Manila seems to have been
a brilliant victory for 'our people.’ VVe
get cable new, daily and fuller particulars
every week or so.
"I w’ant to tell you one curious thing
while referring to the war. in January
or February last, while Mr. was trav
eling among the Wanganui river Maoris
on native business he was talking one
night with an old—very old—man, and
drew from him all sorts of quaint savage
lore. They were talking In the open and
It was a lovely starlight night. The old
Maori drew Mr. ’s attention to a very
brilliant slnr in a certain part of the
heavens, anil said: ‘What country is to
the northeast of that star? I ask be
cause that country will soon be involved
in a war with a country a long way from
it.’
“Mr. made a note of the star and its
position, and drew from Ihe old Maori
further remarks to the effect that he
could not say which country would win in
the coming war, but he was sure lighting
would soon commence, as he had watched
that star for a long time, anil its peculiar
motion meant what he had said. Mr.
referred to his notea when he could get
at a map and compass, and found that
the first country to the northeast of this
star, as near as one could see, wuh the
United State*,' and, though at the time
this little Incident occurred there was no
apparent likelihood of war, in a couple
of months’ time it was a fact.”
