The (Jeorgia Bar AaHociation at its
meeting next month will likely recom
mend the appointment of Supreme
Court Judges by the Governor, all other
Judges to be named by the Supreme
Court, and the abolition of all City
Courts. The committee on revision of
the judicial system and procedure will
report as follows: Abolish all City
Courts; all elective .Justices of the
Peace; give the Court of Appeals ex
clusive appellate jurisdiction in crimi
nal cases, and transfer all civil causes
to the Supreme Court.
'This leaves vacancies to be filled as
follows: Have Superior Courts hold
quarterly sessions for oftener), in all
counties, and render judgment at the
first term where no issuable defense is
filed.
Have a County Judge to hold court
monthly at the county-site, with juris
diction to try misdemeanors und civil
cases involving not over $500, with ju
ries of six instead of twelve. Ho shall
also hold court monthly at each militia
district court-ground, with same juris
diction as now given by law to Justices
of the Peace. The Notary Public and
ex-officio Justice of the Peace of the
district shall be ex-ofFicio clerk of this
court in his district, with authority to
issue all papers as now, hut with no
other authority, except to hold courts
of inquiry.
There shall ho no jury trial in any
court except it be demanded in original
petition or unswer.
Cases may he taken by certiorari
(and only by that method,) from courts
hold by the County Judge to the Supe
rior Court, and the judgment of the Su
perior Court therein shall be final; un
less the Judge of the Superior Court
shall certify that some Cohstitutional
question is involved which is properly
raised in the pleadings at the trial.
Civil cases from the Superior Court
shall he taken to the Supreme Court,
and criminal cases to the Court of Ap
peals, as under the present system.
The udvunlages claimed by this
scheme are:
1. The system will be absolutely uni
form throughout the State, (except for
the lower courts, as recently created
for Atlanta).
2. There shall be but one trial and
one review of each case, (except as to
Constitutional questions).
8. Judgments may he obtained ns
speedily in the Superior Courts as now
in the City Courts, and there will be a
general expediting of business by rea
son of this, and by eliminating many
jury trials, which take fully twice &b
long ns trials by the Judge alone.
A. Making judgment of the Superior
Courts final in cases originating in low
er courts, and giving all criminal busi
ness to the Court of Appeals, would
probably reduce the number of cases
going to the Supremo Court sufficiently
to enable that court to keep up with
the business as well as now.
6. Practically all of the present City
Court JudgeB (except those in the larger
cities) could he made County Judges,
and the extra work which would keep
them occupied practically all of their
time would justify a corresponding in
crease in their salaries.
6. The fee system, which is some
times suspected of perverting justice,
would be eliminated.
7. Have the Justices of the Supreme
Court appointed by the Governor, with
the advice and consent of the Senate.
Have the Judges of the Court of Ap-
P'als, and all of tin* Superior Court
Judges and County Judges appointed
by the Justices of the Supreme Court,
and in the event there should be a tie
vote of the members of the court, the
side on which the Chief Justice votes
shall prevail.
Commissioner of Agriculture Price
will issue a bulletin from his depart
ment to-morrow describing crop condi
tions throughout Georgia. Speaking of
the forthcoming report, which will be
bised upon data obtained from many
correspondents scattered throughout
the State, Mr. Price says:
“l am afraid the report will not show
a very fluttering outlook for crops just
now, the reason for this being the cold,
dry weather that has prevailed. 1 be
lieve, though, that it is for the eco
nomic good of the State that these
facts be made known at once. A false
expectation of a hump r crop would
lead only to a lowering of prices for
farm products, which would tie felt by
the farmers m-M fall.”
The next meeting of the Georgia
Pharmaceutical Association will he
held at Indian Spring, on June 9 and
10. Many valuable papers will be read,
matters of vital importance to every
drug ist in the State will he presented,
and a general “get together spirit”
will be in evidence. Hon. Jas. D.
Price, Commissioner of Agriculture,
will deliver an address on the occasion,
and there will be short addresses from
other prominent speakers. The hotels
will make reduced rates to members
and their families. The railroads will
also give reduced rates. The members
will be guests of the Macon druggists.
Mucon News: “Commissioner of Ag
riculture Jas. D. Price has made an ex
cellent. record since taking charge of
the office, and stands high with the far
mers and business men of the State.
Mr. Price is a frequent visitor to Ma
con, and has a wide acquaintance in
Bibb county. When the primary is held
on Aug. 19 it is more than likely that
he will have a big majority of the votes
cast in Bibb county.”
The Japanese premier is quoted as
saying, in a public address in Tokio the
other day, that "America has no ene
my; so what is the use of the fortifica
tion of the Panama Canal?” Very ami
cable sentiment, to be sure, coming
from a Japanese source; —at. the same
time we will go right ahead with the
work of fortifying the canal.
Hon. Chas. Henderson, who defeated
Braxton Bragg Comer in a run-ofi* pri
mary last week for the Governorship of
Alabama, is said to be the only bald-
headed man nominated to that office
since the war. Well, it is better to
have a head with nothing on it than one
with nothing in it.
