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.
