HELDILLEGAL
The Supreme Court of Georgia this
afternoon handed down a decision
declaring unconstitutional the new'
salary act passed by the Legislature
to abolish fees for county officers.
The decision is a great victory for
Fulton County officials, who had been
defeated in he lower courts in their
attack on the law. and a distinct sur
prise to many who had followed the
course of the litigation. It had been
published that the higher tribunal
had already decided that the law was
constitutional and should he upheld.
The lower court Is reversed on the
ground that the legislation Is special
and in contravention of that section
of the constitution which forbids
class legislation. The ruling declares
that the whole Rtaie is governed by a
system of law's, and that the statutes
in question are deliberately aimed for
certain citizens of the State.
The Supreme Court was unanimous
in its decision. Justice Atkinson's

Well Known Atlantans Express
Gratification That Gate City
Won Shrine Convention.
To Atlanta will come the next an
nual conclave of the Imperial Council
of the Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles
of the Mystic Shrine.
For the Gate City the Shriners’
convention of 1914 has been won. and
to the members of the Yaarab Tem
ple belong the honors for this signal
triumph.
In the forefront of the battle with
other contenders for the honor of en
tertaining the Shriners were Illus
trious Potentate Forrest Adair, Pasi
Potentate John A. Hynds, Claude H.
Hutcheson. W. A. Foster. Joseph C.
Greenfield, Robert L. Golding and Im
perial Outer Guard E. A. Cutts, of Sa
vannah. To these public-spirited cit
izens will go the plaudits of the city
for their noble work.

With flags flying and banners wav

the victorious army of Yaarab Shrin.
ers on their triumphant return home.
And the band will play "Lo, the Con
quering Heroes Come.”
Quickly following upon the flash
of victory from Dallas, preparations
for a gala reception to Atlanta
brigade were set on foot No time Is
to be lost. When the Yaarab delega
tion with drum corps and patrol ar
rive on their special train, probably
Sunday morning, they will be met by
a reception “than w'hlch there has
been no than-whicher.” Probablynot
until the city bedecks itself for the
conclave which has Just been won for

made as those now under way to
greet the returning victors.

By JAMES B. NEVIN.
DALLAS. TEX., May 14.— Atlanta came through with bells
on to-day, winning next year's imperial council meeting, notwith
standing the fact that at the last moment an effort was made to
sidetrack her and break up her hopes. The committee appointed
j yesterday by the Imperial Potentate reported in favor of Buffalo,
• much to everybody’s surprise, as that town was entered as a dark
horse at the last moment.
The fight was carried to the fioor and Atlanta won by the fol-
owing vote;
Atlanta, 230.
Buffalo, 85.
Memphis, 69.
Forrest Adair and his faithful Yaarabs, after one of the finest
campaigns ever waged in behalf of Atlanta, will “bring home the
bacon. - ’ even as lie promised.
“ATLANTA SPIRIT” AGAIN WINS.
The things that [tut Atlanta over in this fight were, first of
all, that magnificeri Atlanta spirit hicli raised well along toward
$1 ()(),()()() for the entertainment of the Imperial Council before a
owrd of inviation as extended; second, he mos intelignt and tire
less work put forth in Atlanta's behalf by Forrest Adair and his
eo-workers. ’ >
Adair hardly has slept sjr.ee he arrived in Dallas. His one
idea at all times has been to win the fight for next year's meeting.
He is the best known Shriner in the South. He has been a regular
attendant upon imperial council sessions for eighteen years, and
knew good and well how most effectively and most intelligently lo
proceed with the work outlinel for him here.
1 doubt that, any other individual in Georgia could so surely
have led this fight to a successful finish and with so few mistakes
along the way. Of course, here is glory for all, and glory enough
to go round, but the major slice of it is Adair s.
TO REACH HOME SUNDAY.
The Affiants party will divide into two squads, one part going
ori a short four of Texas, the other returning home by wav of Hot
Springs, Ark.
Potentate Adair and his party probably will reach Atlanta
Sunday morning. By to-morrow morning Dallas will resemble
nothing so much as a deserted banquet hall, but congratulating it
self upon one of the most acceptable bunches of good fellows it
ever saw gathered together anywhere.
Potentate Adair's final message to his home town is;
“The victory is ours, as we promised ourselves it shoulsd be.
Now let all loyal Atlantans get ready to make next year s session
of the imperial council the very best and most enjoyable it ever
has known. It can be done, and it will be done, for to do it that
wav is to do it Atlanta’s way.’’
MEMPHIS MAKES POOR FIGHT.
Memphis was outgeneraled and outfought at every turn of
the cards, and the magnificent floor vote accorded Atlanta shows
how well Forrest Adair had planned his campaign.
It was not thought the imperial potentate would go so far as
to fix a committee on the quiet against Atlanta, but apparently
this is what he did. He was reported lukewarm to the Gate City
last night, but as he was the only imperial officer hostile the im-
prssion was that the committee would report in favor of Atlanta.
As a matter of fact, it was rumored unofficially last night as
standing three to two favorable to Atlanta. Buffalo never was
mentioned as a candidate until to-day. Notwithstanding the un
expected fight made on Atlanta and the surprising nature of it,
there is good feeling among the Shriners and no bitterness will
result.
Atlanta was magnifleenty vindicated and won with a whoop
when the delegates could gt to the voting. The date of the meet
ing has not yet been fixed.
Atlanta’s great victory is the talk of all Dallas. The wonder
ful fight put up. the remarkable courage dispayed and the mag
nificent rally from an unexpected hostile development has lifted
