Large Summer Class Graduated At University of Georgig
CHANGING STATUS

~ [FFINA SPEECH
Judge Green Traces De
* wvelopment of Law's At
titude Toward Women
l}l’flomas were awarded 126 gra
duates a‘ the final exercises of the
University of Georgia summer
ther Friday night when Judge
Thomas I*. Green de'lvered ap ad
dress on “The Attitude of the Law
Toward Women.”
Degrees were awarded by Dean
L. L. Hendren of the University.
The program included an organ
ldlb by Miss Nolee Mae Dunaway
o._:fm a violin solo by Mrs. Charles
_Pafrott, Dr. J. C. Wilkinson,
pastor of First Baptist church, de
livered the invocation and the
benediction.
In his address to the graduates,
Judge Green, a former membep of
the board of trustees of the Uni
versity, ang more recently a mem
ber of the board of regents of the
Uhiversity of Georgia system,
traced the developmen; of the law's
attitude toward woman, going back
to the days when woman was
without status before the law;
w_&n her rights were vested in
her husband who, alone, had legal
landing. But such has been the
s of the liberalization of
law toward woman, that today the
effect of the law is to discriminate
against men.
"It \is impossible,” saig@ Judge
en, “to understand or appre
te the significance of modern
statutes affecting woman without
a knowledge of the ancient law
and the underlying reasons. This
is cially true in Georgia since
B¢ rgin is what is known as a
pmmon Law State; that is, a,
ate whose jurisprudence was
the beginning largely shaped by
the Common Law o 7 England.”
Makes Progress
*Woman in Georgia today, so
far as I have been able to analyze
the gituation, has every legal right
and privilege of man, except the
privilege of serving on a jury (if
this be termed a privilege) and the
righ¢ to control her own earnings;
and yet on the other hand they
are relieved of some fundamental
liabilities which should go hand in
hand with the privileges that they
emjoy. 1 believe all fair-minded
woraen will agree with the fore
going conélusion.”
' In 'the olden days, Juage Green
sald, “due to the fact that hus
band and wife werz considered
one, she could not bring any suft
if hep own name, not even for a per
:El\l injury but since her legal
stence was lost in her husband,
she must be joined in all sults even
in a suit for pain and suffering
endured by the wife.
“Since the wife's services be
longed to her husband angd her
earnings, if any, were his, suit must
be brought by him for the loss of
her earning capacity. In addition
to this, so close was econsidered the
relationship of husband and wife,
‘fi':t least so far had the woman
her identity, that, with very
few exceptions, she could not testi
fy elther for or against her hus
band,
“Whereas the modern woman
would rebel against such a state,
ve; it should be noted and consid
% that this merger of the wife's
existence with the husband placed
up the husband heavy burdens
and responsibilities. The wife_was
resumed to be in the custody and
‘under the control of her husbana
ind hence in a large measure he
E.mn absolutely responsible for
wrongs, both civil and erimin
al. If the wife damaged either
dgt person or property of another,
he, husband should haye controll
ed her and prevented such an In
féry and he was therefore respon
sible for the same. Again, he be
came responsible for almost all of
her crimes and she was relleved
largely from criminals responsibi-
Jity if these crimes were commit
ted in the hushand’s presence eith
er actual or constructive, for the
presumption arose that the wife
dcted under the coercfon of the
husband and he not only consent
ed but commanded the commission
of the crime or else he would have
Prevented it. A conclusion rather
difficult of modern understanding.
4 Severe Proceedings
_‘fAgain, the legel relationship at
least between a man and his wife
was so close and confidential that
third parties were subjected to
severs proceedings and penalties if
they interfered. An outsider was
geemingly permitted to extend aid
and comfort to a married woman
only two instances and an old
eatise says that if a married
rried woman was by the wayside
“apparently in distress a horseman
might place her on his horse. al
ways in the rear, only for two pur
poses: eithe, to carry her to a
‘@piritual court for the purpose of
&fi[ a divorce; or to a magistrate
in order to swear out a warrant
for cruel treatment. This was a
most interesting situation and one

FIRST COTTON BALE
MADlSON—Madigon’'g first bale
of cotton was bought this week
from Hugh Bostwick who raised it
on his farm near Bostwickk. 1t
weighed 500 pounds, graded mid
dling, inch staple and was sold to
R. C. Willingham. Mr. Willing
ham bid 15 1-4 cents and under the
leadership of W. P. Bearden, pres
ident of the Bank of Madison, aj
premium of 11 cents more was ad
ded, making the bale bring 26 1-4
cents, or a total of $131.25.
KILLED IN WELL :
MADISON — Aaron Bumgarner,
39, was killed instantly in a well
at his home in Martin’s district
this week. Mr. Bumgarner was
working in the well and helpers
no larger than his thumb. It
therefore was a favorite defense
when some injured wife swore ouu
a warrant against her husband for
wife beating for him to admit the
chastisement but claim that it was
with a rod no larger than his
thumb.”
Contrasts Status
Contrasting the status of wom-s
an under the old Common Law
with her emancipated position to
day, Judge Green said:
“It must be recognized ag the
very threshold of this discussion
that changing social customs have
played a very important part in
the present legal status of woman,
both married and unmarried. At
common law woman was consider
ed weak, more or less dependent
and the man was her protector,
and in marriage her lord and mas
ter. As all of you know, today
woman has at last been emanci
pated and in many of the activities
of life ig a keen competitor of man.
Again, under the Common Law,
marringe was an absolute merger
of the woman's identity into the
existence of the husband; where
as under modern social life mar
riage is only a blending of the twoe
personalities and quite frequently
the blending ‘““does not take.” This
is fundamental in the study of mo
dern statutes though it is quite fre
quently applied most inconsistent
ly.
Usual Rights
“Now, ag to contracts. Married
and unmarried women have the
usual rights and liabilities in re
ference to contracts and with some
foolish exceptions have the unre
stricted freedom of men. How
ever, the idea still persists in law
that the wife is controlled by her
husbhang and hence she can pot
lawfully contract with her hus
band, nor ean she sell her proper
ty to pay his debts, nor enter into
any contract of suretyship either
for him or anyone else, This rule
'becomes ludicrous when statutes
and proceedings of Georgia permit
’a wife to give a valuable piece ot
property to her husband, but she
\%an not sell i; to him without the
‘approval of the judge of the su
sperior court acting as a .chancellor
4o protect the defenseless wife. In
lother words the modern husband
\may say: “My dear, you have a
valuable piece of property worth
i‘twenty-flve thousand gollars but I
can’t buy it from you so ust give
’it to me.” And the confiding wife
‘may still execute a deed of gift but
‘not of bargain and sale to her hus
‘band. Again, a woman can enter
into no 'contract of service with
out subjecting her earnings to the
ftemand of the husband. It is true
few modern husbands have the
courage to make such a domand
but still this is the law, consistent
under the theory of the Common
Law, utterly inconsistent both un
der the theory and practice of this
modern era.”

,and constructed from low grade
cotton purchased by the Surplus
Relief Corporation, The labor will
icomo from the relief rolls and will
be paid the prevailing wage rate
provided it ig not less than 30
cents an hour. No worker will re
celve less than that amount. |
Relief officials pointed out that a
suryey of the state showed that
thousands of families did not have
an adequate supply of mattresses.
All of the mattresses made will be
distributed to relief families.

terpiece and then adds nothing more in the way of decoration. Her handsome linen has ample opportunity

form the centerpiece of this dinner table. The design on the glassware matches the pattern on the white

Farm Agent Urges
. Planting of Trees
On Eroded Areas
Check =oil erosion and grow a
crop cf timber on unproductive
areas, is the suggestion of L. S.
Watson, county farm agent. There
is a great deal of land in this
county which should be taken out
of civilization and set in trees,
and in so doing the soil would be
saved from washing away and a
profit made from the forest prod
ucts obtained, he says,
[ In all sections of the South
there are local markets for such
Mfarm products as pulpwood, saw
logs, poles, ties and fuel wood. In
most cases pines offer the quick
est returns, but in some sections
a few of the faster growing hard
woods should be considered.
The slash pine is regarded as the
most profitable tree in both the
Piedmont and Coastal Plain areas
of the state. Because of its rapid
growth and high value in the pro-“
duction of naval stores, pulpwood
and lumber, it is the most widelyl
grown and most popular forest
tree. It does particularly well in
southern Georgia. i
! The long leaf pine zrows slower
than slash, but is important on
account of the fact that it will
grow not only on the deep sands,
‘hbut on wet landg as well, and pro
duces naval stores and timber
products, and will withstand rav
lages of fire better than other trees.
‘lt ecan be grown throughout the
coastal plain section of Georgia,
which is its natural range.
The loblolly, better knwon as
‘old field pine grows rapidly and
makeg readily salable products. Tt
grows naturally all over the state.
The black locust 1 an especially
valuable tree for farm planting on
account of the fact that it is easily
grown, and makes durable wood
for fence posts, poles, and stakes.
It can be grown throughout the
state with the exception of the
poorly drained coastal plain areas.
Trees should be set during the
late winter or early spring. Pines
should be set about eight feet
each away, while black locusts
should be set about six feet apart.

Essential Foods :
Will Be Provided
By Winter Garden
Taking sulphur and molasses th
the spring will not be necessary if
a good supply of vegetables is pro
vided throughout the winter
months, says Miss Susan Mathews,
nutritionist at the University Col
lege of Agriculture, Besides it wilt
cut the grocery bill, aid growth in
the children and promote the health
of the entire family.
“Now is the time to be getting
the winter garden planted,” con
tinued Miss Mathews, “and@ plenty
of green and - yellow vegetables
should be included. String beans,
cabbage, collards, lettuce, mustard,
rape, spinach, turnips and carrots
are some of the crops that can be
grown and they are rich in vitamin
A, which prevents infections of
various kinds as winter comes on.”
The planting of foods which can
be eaten raw is urged. These
foods provide vitamin C which s
essential 1o the health of everyone
and which is difficult to obtain
in winter, Lettuce, cabbage, carrots
and onions may be planted to furn
ish this vitamin.
A large variety of vegetables
should be planted in the fall and
they can be used plentifully in the
diet. In addition to furnishing
vitamins, the fall végetables will
also supply liberal amounts of
minerals which are'essential
blood building. Tt is important
that vegetables be included in the
school lunch as well as in the re
gular menu for dinner ane supper.

vegetables may be gbtained from

I invite you and the public to a joint debate,
twenty minutes each, or less, in front of Shackelford
Building or elsewhere at any time agreeable.
. As we are busy lawyers, we haven’t time for
=eeing all the voters in person, ‘and more or less an
noying those who have affairs of their own to worry
. over.
Let us also invite questions from the crowd, so
that no one can accuse us of ducking.
