For further informa tion call on 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- ton of Savannah. , Fourth Vice President—J. H. Mar tin of Huwkinsvine. ■Fifth Vico President—(C. A. Turner of Macon. . _ •Secretary—George W. Aiken of Car- teraville. 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. I. General Real Estate Agents. E. C. Gambnell.

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. Hon.
