Atlanta, Aug. 1.—(Special.)—"The In
solvent Traders' Act," “Woman at the
Georgia Ear," und the Increase of ine
nuirfber of Justices # of the supreme
court, with a letter ofaccepCatice from
Chief Justice Bleckley's baby, were the
features of the meeting of the Geortga
Bar Association today. At the outset
uf the session Judge Bleckley read the
following letter from his youthful son,
who was honored yesterday by being
made a member of the association:
'Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 1, 1831.—To the
Geortga Bar Assoo.'atkm.—Gentlemen:
EJwartl Herring Bleckley accepts Ihls
election to honorary membership with
sincere thanks for the high and un
usual distinction, and iris mother, with
deeply 'gratified (maternal pride, adds
her thanks to his. ^
"Ho has already adopted the maxim
of 'business before pleasure,’ and being
olosely engaged 1n his legal studies, he
has requested me, for the sake of eav-
ing his 'time, to represent him In ac
knowledging the honor which you have
conferred upon him.
"Very respectfully, your obedient
servant, His Mother."
The first sensation of the meeting
occurred at the close of the morning
session, when the Increase In 'the num
ber of justices of the supreme court
was under discussion. Mr. Burton
umtCh of A-Hintn. wanted a committee
appointed to disseminate such matter
throughout the suite as would be likely
to he.p carry the constitutional amend
ment at the coming election. In the
course of his remarks, Mr. Smith re
ferred to the fact that C. 11. Elling
ton, president of the state Alliance and
Populist leader, had unnounced hkvop,
position to the amendment. It seemed
to Mr. Smith that It was to he made
a campaign issue, and he approved of
putting Iit in Che hands of the Demo
cratic state csceemlve committee to
have it fought out. There was a spir
ited general discussion, in which It wan
deplored thut politics should be brought
up In the meeting.
Associate Justice Lumpkin sought to
allay matters by stating that the Pop
ulists were not going to fight tne
amendment. Judge Hines und Mr.
Watson had both assured him, tie said,
that they favored the amendment.
Chief Justice Bleckley finally Inter
posed from the chair. He sold the Bar
Association was in no wsnse political
and. anything of a political tenor .was
decidedly out of place ther. I
The Bar Association has on its rolls
Republicans, und PoptfUSts as well as
Democrats, and there was some sharp
criticism indulged in during the day on
account of 'the episode.
At the afternoon session, Just before
adjournment, otneera for the ensuing
year were reported by the oommlttee,
of which Hon. Washington Dessau of
Macon was chaHrnvan. The report was
aocepted without discussion, (the new
olUccrs being us follows:
President—W. H. Fleming of Au
gusta.
First Vice Prestdeirt-George Hfilycr
of Atlanta.
(Second Vice President—L. C. Levy of
Columbus. ' _'
Third Vice President—W. G. Chart-

Fourth Vice President—J. H. Mar
tin of Huwkinsvine.
■Fifth Vico President—(C. A. Turner

Treasurer—Z. D. Harrison of At-
l&nta.
Executive Commlttee-'Alexander W.
Smith of Atlanta, Burton Smith*)! At-
lanta, W. B. HIU of Macon, A. H.
McDonnell of Savannah.
The discussion of the Insolvent trad
ers’ act was opened with papers by Hon.
’Francis Poabody o/ Columbus and Hon.
N. J. Hammond of Atlanta.
It was conceded by all the lawyers
that tho act Is so abused as to be a
hardship on commerce and that It ought
to be changed so as to protect both tho
debtor and creditor.
Col. Hammond said In attacking the
act that wsb no wonder the supreme
court hud dolared It a harsh and sum
mary law. He declared It was a sword
hanging over traders, deterring many
from .exercising their talent In that di
rection. It demoralizes trade, ami cred
itors has reillxcd little If any benefit
from it. By the old law they might
have lost sometimes something which
by this statute haB been saved, but that
la sursly not generally certain when the
debtors are honest. If guilty of 'llihj.l*
cat dealings endangering the creditor’s
rights, the debtor, waa amenable to In-
Junctlbn and receivership under the. old
law.

\ He declared the law to be injurious
to tne legal profession, as the petition
for a rocolver was a very simple affair
and requiring little skill for Its begin
ning and but little responsibility In Its
oonauot to the decree.
It Is frequently founded upon a looss
affidavit by one of the plaintiff's attor
neys. The prayer for Injunction and a
temporary receiver lo granted on ex
parte showings, and practically as mat
ter of course. An honest treder rarely
resists. Resistance generally wtouhl be
useless: for If not Insolvent when the
proceedings begnn, the publication that
a receiver has his property destroys hla
credit. Other lawsuits may be settled
by paying something to the creditor, out
of which he pays his own solicitor's fee*.
Here the interest of the lawyer who files
the petition Is against settlement until
a fund Is brought Into court When It
comes In. the solicitor or petitioner ex
pects and ususlly gets but of It a fee In
proportion to the whole fund, and not
elmply for hla trouble snd services. Oth
er creditors when made parties must
contribute to Ills fee. and out of their
dividends. If any. pay their own solid,
tors sis.).
The size of such fees hss msde such
business desirable. It Is even charged
that some hunt for such cases. We
should all pray "Lead us not Into temp
tation," for surely the bar will fall from
Us high estate when Instead of having
clients seek us we shall hunt them.
In a general discussion of the set and
the pa tie re li( <' -I II .If 'I "id M i
Fesbcdy the lawyers submitted a va
riety of suggestions as to desirable
changes In the net.
Jude?.. Bleckley's Idea was that the
most satisfactory law would be one
whi-h w- •il l mold- .i tr t-r t > s-t il
the credit he ought to have and debat
him from getting any more.

of the number bf papers to be read, cut

ject. Both advocated the admission of
women.

who braved the wrath of the fair rex.

because It would deprive her of her
modesty .and womanliness to practice
