SUPREME COURT
WILL BE DIVIDED
HOW THE TRIBUNAL WILL
BE REORGANIZED WITH
SIX JUSTICES.
THREEJUDGES IN EACHCOURT
Terms of the Bill Under Which
the New Men Will Go Into
office—No Opposition.
The Popnliate ■will not oppose the
Democratic nominees and the coart
will be reorganized under a new law
with justices named by the Demo,
oratic convention.
The supreme court of Georgia will
be organized in two divisions under a
bill framed by Judge Samuel Lump
kin in collaboration with Judges
Simmons and Atkinson. This bill
was introduced by Hon. J. 3. Boyn
ton of Spalding and is now under
consideration by the general judiciary
committee of the house. It will
probably become law without change
as it is the well matured plan of the
justices.
The first section provides that “on
January Ist, 1897, or as soon there
after as practicable, the chief justice
shall separate the court into two di
visions, designating which justices
shall compose each, bat the person
nel of each division shall, under his
direction, and in accordance with
such rules as the court may prescribe,
be changed from time to time, so
that the divisions will not bscome
permanent in their constituency.
The division of which the chief jus
tice is a member shall always be
known as the ‘first division,’ and he
shall preside. The other division
shall always be known as the ‘second
division,’ and its presiding justice
shall be designated by the chief jus
tice, Whenever the chief justice is
absent or disqualified, and duty de
volving on him ehall bo performed
by the associate justice who has been
longest in commission.”
Cisses which have been argued
before the let of J.v ■ << -
cided by the full con:: cl VtL there
after, or tor a rehear g way be or
dered by the court upon its own
motion, but not otherwise.
REORGANIZING TM COUBT.
Ths work of the court, the num
ber necessary to a quorum and the
method of reaching a decision by the
court as a whole or when sitting in
divisions of three justices, are fully
set forth in the 3d section of thebilli
which is as follows:
“Be it further enacted, That either
division of ths court shall have the
power to issue tho writ of mandamus,
or to take any other action necessary
to the perfection of records, accord
ing to ths practice which has hereto
fore prevailed in this court; and
either division may render a final
judgment in any case argued before
it, and such judgment shall have the
same force and effect as if rendered
by the court as a whole; provided,
nevertheless, that the court shall, as
far m practicable, endeavor to ao
conduct i.s proceeding* as to have
concurrence oi all the justices in
all judgments rendered, except in
cases where there is an express dis
sent upon the part o’ one or more of
them. Every case argued before
either division may be considered by
the court as a whole, or any one or
more justices of the other division
may participate in the decision there
of without argument; and where, for
any reason, a case is heard in a divi
sion by only two justices, the chief
justice shall direct one or more jus
tices of the other divirion to partici
pate in deciding it, or that it may be
dsciced by the court as a whole
Whenever any justice in either divi
sion differs from the other two as to
any particular case pending beforu
it, such case shall go to the court
Be a whole for decision; and when
ever it decides a case which has been
argued before one division only, i.
may, upon its own motion, but not
otherwise, order n rosrgument there,
in. In all oases decided by a full
bench of six justices, the concurrence
c! a majority shall be essential to a
judgment of reversal; and if the jus
tices are evenly divided, the judg
ment of tho court below shall stand
affirmed. In all cases decided by
the court as a whole, with less than
six justices, ths concurrence of at
least three shall be essential to the
rendition of a judgment; and if only
four justices set upon a case, and
they are evealy divided, the cace

shall be reargued before a fall bench,
if possible, before the term closes;
and if the judgment of the court
below shall stand affirmed. Both
the minutes and the printed official
reports shall show hov many, and
which, justices concurred iu each
judgment rendered, and which, if
any, dissented therefrom.”
WHesr decisions must stand..
The law iu section 217 of the
code of 1882, which says that a de
cision concurred in by three judges
cannot be reversed or maternally
changed, except by a full bench is
amended so as to read, “a decision
rendered by the supreme court prior
to the’lst day of January, 1897, and
concurred in by three judges or jus
tices cannot be reversed or material
ly changed, except by the concur
rence of at least five justices.” Unan
iraous decisions hereafter rendered
y a full bench of six justices shall
not be overruled or materially
changed, except by the concurrence
of six justices. The court is author
ized to make rules for its own govern
ment not in conflict with the legisla
tion of thia ac .—Journal.
The New JJiiliy,
The reign of the new woman has
been menaced by the new baby. The
congress of mothers did it last week.
A great future and greater possibili
ties spread out before the now baby.
Even the time-honored squall has
been po ci ibed. Mother Goose has
been ex-communicaied. The toddle
lias been banidied, and the old slip
per, hitherto administered as a warm
but g untie corrective, has been piti
lessly sent into everlasting exile.
Prof. Tomlinson and other mothers
at the congress declare these criminal
practices must go.
The new baby will “strut in hi*
gait.” Toddling and all forms of
atavism fee must eschew wi’h wise
discretion. If by chance he should
exhibit the least inclination toward
toddling bis parents will reason with
him, and show him at once his folly
and low instincts. But it is in the
selection of his library and daily
reading matter that the coming baby
will exhibit the greatest discriminv
tion. lie will substitute for the
old witch flying on her broom Locke
on “Tho Human Understandin*;’
Emerson’s “Oversoul,” and Porter’s
i “Moral Philosophy,” which he will
investigate as ha lies in his cradle
gurgling highly educated gurgles.
But the climax of this triumphal
march of progress was reached when
Prof. Tomlins put seven-league boots
on the congress and had the mothers
take a step forward in teaching the
baby to cry in an artistic fashion.
No more will he be allowed to yell
at a helter-skelter, higgledy-piggledy,
nightmare gait, running up and'down
tho scale as if to exhibit his vjiil.
ity. He is to strike his fundamental
key and see what he can do with it
by long sustained effort. No mother
will be weak and silly enough to
allow her baby to scream off key.
She should always carrying a tuning
fork around with her, and give him
the key whenever she eess he is about
to begin. In the near future it may
not be an uncommon sight on a street
car to see mamma hit her tuning fork
on the conductor’s bell punch and
give her baby the key when he is
about to begin a prolonged howl.
If the mother has a number of lit
tle ones in her flock the possibilities
of thia innovation for her at once
suggest themselves. She can teach
each one to cry in a different key and
by caref.il selection of keys from B
flat to high C she can produce such
melody and harmony in an afternoon
of squalling a?, will cause the mothers
congress of ’96 to be remembered for
years to come.—Chicago Tribune.
The expense of a Presidential elec
tion is enormous. This is the first
campaign in which documents were
carried on franks. Forty million of
these documents wore carried on
congressional franks alone. The
cost to the government in postage
for tho entire campaign is $2,400,-
000. The Australian ballot system
calls for a greater number of officials
than heretofore at the booths. The
coat in the recent election averaged
about $1 per vote. In New York it
is $1,34. Thus the cost to the en
tire country would bo about $14,-
000,000; adding to this tho postal
expense we have in two items alone
$16,100,000. If all illegal uses of
money to influence votes, injury to
business, and loss of time were esti
mate! in dollars it could safely be
put at $100,000,000. —Nows Journal
It would not be out of order to
create a new portfolio in the Presi
dent's cabinet, and call it the Bureau
of Fiih ng. All eyes would turn to
ward G. C, as the logical head of
that department.—Dalias Herald,
Lack of Education Ruined Him
A certain philanthropic woman’
says the New York Journal, has a
theory that the remedy for crime i s
universal education. A short time
ago she visited Sing Sing m com
pany with several fiiends. Among
the convicts was a man whose face
betokened intelligence. She called
the attention of her friends to him>
saying: “There Is a mau whose coun
tenance shows natnral intelligence,
and yes lam satisfied that he was
deprived of education.”
“I’ll wager that he is well-edu
cated,” said one of her friends, and
turning to the warden asked:
“What was that man convicted
of?”
“Forgery,” was the response.
“See?” said the friends, turning to
the lady.
“Well, I don’t care. Ido not be
lieve he is an educated man. I want
to talk to him.”
Permission was obtained, and the
following colloquy ensued:
“Did you have the advantage of
an education?”
“I did not, ma am.”
“I told you so," turning to her
friend, and then speaking to the con
vict again, she said:
“You feel within yourself, do you
not, that knowledge would have
directed you into paths of rectitude?”
“I don’t know about that, but I
do know that if I had been properly
elucated I would not hare spelled
‘bearer’ with a double r, and that’s
what got me caught.”
Beecher as a Slave Auctioneer.
Even people of mature years whose
memory is clear about matters before
and alter the war have practically
forgotten that Henry Ward B> » r
used his pulpit in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, as an auction block for
slaves. The most famous of his
“slave sales” was that of the beautiful
girl, Sarab, and it was upon this oc
casion that the most exciting scenes
over witnessed in Plymouth Church,
or in any other American church for
that matter, occurred. Mr. Beecher
was unusuaily dramatic; he put fire
iato his words, as he stood the el„ve
girl on the platform besia> him,
which fairly burned into the hearts
of his auditors. It was not long be
fore the people became almost hys
terical with excitement. But Beecher
kept on until he was ready to pass
the collection baskets. Then the au
ditors gave vent to their feelings, and
not only heaps of money was put into
baskets but mon and women took off
their rings, unfastened their watches
and threw them into the baskets and
on the platform. It was a remark
able scene, and such a one as prob
ably will never be equalled in thia
country. Mrs. Beecher recalls the
event with wonderful vividness in
her article in the Christmas Ladies’
Home Journal, when she tells the
whole story of “When Mr. Beecher
Sold Slaves in Plymouth Pulpit.”
The scene itself is remarkably well
brought to the eye of the reader by
a striking illustration made by De
Thuletrup from material furnished
the artist by Mrs. Beecher.
His Wile’s Little Strategy.
There were four or five men on the
street corner discussing the financial
question, says the Detroit Free Press,
when a poorly dressed woman halted
before them, and, singling out a par
ticular man, who had been especially
vociferous in the advocacy of his pet
views, she said:
“I am poor, but a respectable and
hardworking woman. Could you let
me have money to buy a pair of
shoes with?”
“Do you really need ‘am?” he in
quired in turn.
“Very badly, sir; and I shall never
forget your kindness if you aid me.’’
“Well, here it is,” he said, as he
put a bill in her hand.
“Thanks, kind sir, and may heaven
bless you.”
When she had gone away one of
the group said:
“She was mighty cheeky.”
“Brassiest thing I’ve seen in a
year,” added a second.
“Do you know her, Bill?” inquired
a third of the man who had opened
his purse.
“Y-e-s, more or less. We’ve been
married about twenty-five years, and
when I don't come down she takes
this way of making me. I rather
like it. I get credit of being very
charitable, and she gets the cash.”
Encourage the Children.
The habit among parents of saying
discouraging words to their children
is too general. The child forms a
plan. It naturally goes to the
parents for approval and help, and is
too often met with. “Oh, you can’t
do that! It’s of no use trying, for
you will surely fail!”
The parent does not realize how
he is undermining tho character tho
child should form of thorough per
sistent effort, says Mrs. J. F. How
ard, in the Housekeeper. It will
never be known how many failures in
life are due to sujh mistaken train
ing.
“If I had ever had any encourage,
ment at home my career in life
would have been very different,” a
bright young woman said to me. “I
can see now that I had ability and
every necessity qualification for the
line of work I follow, but
I was discouraged at home until I
lost all confidence in myself.”
I could sympathize with her fully,
for in my own home the word“can’t”
was a household word, checking
every aspiration until hopeless timi
dity was the result.
It is a hopeful sign of the times
that girls in particular are breaking
away from the thralldom of “can’t.’
The bright girl has now an opp >r
tunity of testing her powers withocr
the terrible question. “What will
they say?” being applied.
The boy in the home needs en
couragement as well as the girl. He
will have his failures, but “Try, tr,
again” has helped to form many a
rugged, persistant charaoier.
The boy whose hopes and aspira
tions are forever being checked at
home will emerge into manhood
timid, irresolute, ever on the lookout
for obstacles, unless he boos unusu
al strength of character. I have in
mind a young man brought up on a
farm. He had a great love for ora
tory, an ambition to be something
besides a tiller of the soil, an ocou
pation most uncongenial. His aspi.
rations were the butt of ridicule in
his family. They called him “Cicero, ’’
because they had heard him declaim
ing to the stones and fences as he
guided the pilow over the fields.
Fortunately he married a woman
whoso amtition was equal to his
own, and intelligent enough to see
its value. She was brave also, and
for his sake denied herself every
luxury that he might have the op
portunity he craved to study law
She has had her reward in seeing
him take his place among the lead
ing lawyers of his community, and
he is now filling with honer the office
of judge.
