Supreme Court of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Mobley, Justice.

1. A statute is presumed to' be valid and constitutional until the contrary appears. Mayes v. Daniel, 186 Ga. 345 (1) (198 S. E. 535). In order to raise a question as to the constitutionality of a “law” (Code, Ann., § 2-3704), the statute which the party challenges, and the provision of the Constitution alleged to have been violated, must both be clearly specified, and it must also be shown wherein the statute violates such constitutional provision. Krasner v. Rutledge, 204 Ga. 380, 382 (49 S. E. 2d 864), and cases cited; Flynn v. State, 209 Ga. 519, 521 (74 S. E. 2d 461).
