GEORGIA LAW ON GARNISHMENT
AND WORTHLESS CHECKS.
Several of these directly Interest
ed have desired to see the exact
wording of the new garnishment
law, passed by the State Legislature
and the law regulating the court
procedure in the event of worthless
checks being given. This latter is a
thing which Georgia should pre
vent. If possible, for it has been
worked J.u many instances to serious
detriment of Individuals who have
pawned their friendshin into value
of all kinds and amounts of worth
less paper.
The two laiws are as follows;
Garnishment Law.
Section 529S of Vol. 1, of the Cod*
of 19t«i. amended to read: “All per
sons shall be exempt from the pro
cess i.nd liabilities of garnishment
on $1.25 per day of their daily,
weekly or monthly wages, and 50
per cent, of the excess thereof,
whether In the hands of their em
ployers or others. All wages above
the exemption herein provided for
shall be subject to garnishment, and
garnishee In making answer shall
state specifically when the wages
therein referred to were earned by
defendant, and whether same were
earn.id as daily, weekly or monthly
wages."
Fraudulent Check Law.
"To be entitled an act declaring
it a misdemeanor to draw and utter
any check, draft or order where the
drawer has not at the time sufficient
funds to meet the same, provided
such drawer does not deposit with
drawee .sufficient funds to meet the
same within thirty days, providing
punishment therefor, and for other
purposes.
•‘Section one. Re it enacted by
the general assembly of Georgia, and
lt is hereby enacted by authority of
the pane, that from and after the
passage of this act, any person who
shall draw n*d utter any check,
draft or order upon a bank, person,
firm or corporation with which such
drawee has not at the time suffi
cient funds to meet such check,
draft or order, and shall hereby ob
tain from another money or other
thing of value or induce such per
son to postpone any remedy he may
have against such drawer, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall be punished as pro
scribed in section 1065 of the code.
"Provided, that If such drawer
shall deposit with such drawee of
such i r-per, within thirty days there
after. sufficient funds to meet such
check, draft or order, together with
Interest which mav have accrued,
there shall be no prosecution, un
der the provision of this act."
WELL-KNOWN TRAVELING MAN

Inspiring a river tragedy this morn
ing at the head of Belle Isle.
• Horace E. Crow, a traveling sales
man for the Burroughs Adding Ma
chine company, brought his troubled
life to' a dramatic close by cutting
his threat and then leaping from
the end of a dock.
Before committing the final act.
Grow removed his hat and coat, and
hung the latter on tne railing of
the dock. The telegram and the
note paper on which was .written his
unflnitOe.l answer to tlie summons
to his wife's death bed, were pin
ned together, and both messages
were pinned to an Inside pocket of
the coal.
His unfinished letter was ad
dressed to his wife's mother, Mrs.
Robert rtekle, 282 Peachtree St.,
’.Atlanta. Ga.
Coroner Rothacher had the body
removed to the county morgue and
sent a message to Mrs. Dekle In
forming her of the tragedy and ask
ing her advice as to the disposition
of the body.
The statement of The Constitu
tion, aa printed above, will bring
sorrow to many friends of this gen
tleman In Thomasville, where he
has spent some time In the past five
years, and Is well known. There Is
some awful mistake In the matter,
as parties from Thomasville saw
Mrs. Crow, In Atlanta, Thursday, and
had' quite a chat with her, she be
ing apparently In the best of health.
Mr. Oow Hurled Here Monday.
The body of Horace E. Crow, was'
laid tc rest In Laurel H11U Cemetery
Monday morning after the arrival of
the train from Atlanta. The cere
monies were very short and were-
conducted by Rev. O. F. COok, and
Rev. J. M. Outler, at the grave. The
oall-bcarers were Messrs. Artie-
Stuart. Oscar Groover. E. C. Ayer,
latula Houston, Charles Evans, Will
Hopkins and J. T. Culpepper.
Among those who came to attend
the frtternl were Mrs. Crow, and
Mrs. nekle. from Atlanta, Mr. J. R.
Dekle, of Tampa and Mr. B. E.
Dekle, of Tampa. The sad circum
stances of his death has cast a pall
of gloom over the many friends who
have known and liked this frequent
visitor to Thomasville.
