CHATHAM'S 'MONEY

Only County in Georgia to Receive In

Savannah, Ga., Dec. 31.—Beginning

membership is thus restricted insures
a greater benefit to each individual.
While necessarily closely connected 1
with the Law Department of the Uni

student organization, being organized I
and managed by its individual mem- 1
bers and not by the Law Department
Its meetings are held weekly and al
ways embrace a legal discussion. For
the time being the room assumes the
appearance of modern court-room with
a member of the Athens Bar presid

taking the parts of the ordinary court
officers and ‘also acting as counsel on
either side of the case- to be tried.
The trials are conducted under thej
most exacting courthouse rules and
the practical benefit thus derived is a
