The general usscmbly of Geor

judicial, circuit to be formed from
the Southern and Albany circuits.
The bill will be asked that the
counties forming th» circuit be
Colquitt, Tift, Worth, and Tur

duced this week. It is pointed
lout that the Southern and Al
bany circuits are the two largest
in the state and that only a very

left for the superior court is too

Senator Hoke Smith’s inter
view in Atlanta during the past
few days and his address to the
general assembly, have aroused
nation-wide interest because of
their hearing on the Wilson ad-
miiiistartion and on the war,
His expressed confidence jn
tlie aenomination and re-election
of President Woodrow Wilson
has been quoted by the democrat
ic press in all parts of the coun
try, and his advocacy of a strong
er navy as the best way of pre
serving peace has met with gen
eral discussion.
The protest voiced by Senator
Smith against Great Britain’s
continued interference with this
country’s, commerce, particularly
the blocking of neutral ports
against, cotton, has been echoed
everywhere in the cotton grow
ing section. While expressing
the belief that The United States
should sternly insist upon .her
rights in the matter, Senator
Smith thinks, that these rights
will be obtained in full without
a resort to threat or force.
The rural sections of the soutli
are particularly interested in this
situation, because the failure of
England to leave cotton on the
free list, as She originally prom
ised, has done more directly to
depress business in the smith
than any other feature of the
great European struggle.
As Senator Smith pointed out,
the mere payment for these car
goes later does not stop the terri
ble injury the blockade is work
ing on this country. He is quot
ed as saying that ‘‘our people in
Georgia are especially concerned.
If Great Britian is allowed to
keep up this illegal blockade of
neutral ports, it will cut off from
our cotton crops of this- year a
market in which we could sell
during tne fall and early winter
over 3,1)00,000 bales of cotton. If
wo force Great Britain to recog
nize our rights and open up these
markets for the sale of cotton,
and open them up by the time
cotton is ready for sale, the price
of cotton this fall return almost
to tho price at which it sold be
fore the war.”

dened with more business than
can possibly be handled with
proper dispatch.
In case the new circuit is cre
ated it will take two counties
each from the old circuits—Worth
ind.Turner from the Albany cir
cuit and Colquitt and Tift from
the Southern.
It is.proposed that four terms
of court a year shall be held in
all the counties. Tift has a city
court now, but it is understood
that an effort is being made to
bring about its abolishment, this
wouldn’t leave a single city court
in the circuit in case it is estab
lished. Supporters of the move
ment say thet'e would be ample
business in the four counties for
the circuit and that there would
still remain in the two old ones
all of the litigation that can be
handled.
The measure which has for its
object the creation, of the new
circuit wili be strongly support
ed according to those back of the
movement and there is a strong-
probability of it going through
at the present session.
