Plans For a New Court.
Cotton In Cuba.
SivatmOh News, Aug. 13.
The bill that is to be submitted
to the next session of the general
assembly, which will have for its
object the amendment of the con
stitution in such manner as to
provide for the establishment of
an intermediate appellate court,
will be drafted in -'Savannah on
Aug. 20.
The sub-committee of the gener
al committee of the State Bar As
sociation, which has been appoint
ed to draft the bill, is composed
of Washington Desseau, Samuel
B. Adams arid J. H. Merrill and
the two out of town members of
the committee will meet with Mr.
Adams here on next Wednesday.
On that day the bill will be draft
ed and prepared for submission to
the next meeting of the general
committee, which will be held in
Atlanta on Sept. 18.
Mr. Adams returned yesterday
morning from Atlanta, where the
committee met on Tuesday.
“When we met,” said Mr. 4 Ad
ams, “I fouud that the members
of the committee had changed
their minds as to the proper meth
od to give relief to the Supreme
Court. At the former meeting we
had all reached the conclusion
that the passage of a bill limiting
appeals and writs of ;errorJ to the
Supreme Court, with certain spec
ified exceptions, to cases in which
the amount involved, exclusive of
interest and costs, exceeded $500,
was about all we could hope to
accomplish.
“We realize, of course, that
such a bill would not entirely re
lieve. the Supreme Court, but we
felt then that it was the best ’that
could be hoped for. However,the
committee, after more prolonged
consideration, had decided that
with the several exceptions to the
rule limiting jurisdiction the evil
would scarcely be remedied. They
futher concluded, after disoussing
the question with legislators and
. members of the bar in their home
counties, that it would be difficult
to effect the passage of a bill lim
iting the Supreme Court’s appel
late jurisdiction to cases in which
$500 was involved. Especially in
the country districts is there ob
jection to such a limitation.
“Under the circumstances the
creation of an intermediate appel
late court, between the Superior
Courts of the state and the Su
preme Court, was fixed upon as a
proper and most feasible solution
of the problem.
“Generally it was decided that
this court should have jurisdic
tion of appeals from all the courts
in the state from which appeals to
the Supreme Court now lie, but
that when the amount involved
exceeded $1,000 a party might ap
peal either to the new court or to
the Supreme Court direct.
“From the new court to the
Supreme Court appeals will lie to
review errors of the law only ;there
will be no right of appeal on ques
tions of fact or the sufficiency of
evidence.”
Free Blood Cure.
Atlanta Journal.
The fact that a Philadelphia
capitalist has formed a syndicate
which will engage in cotton plant
ing on a large scale in Cuba has
given rise to considerable specu
lation as to the possibilities of the
experiment.
Most of the articles on the sub
ject that we have seen have ihe
appearance of being “inspired”
and are probably worth very little
as practical statements of the
prospects of cotton culture in
Cuba.
Some of' these cotton theories
declare it to be a certainty that
Cuba will soon be raising so much
sea island cotton that Georgia,
now the chief producer of that
article, will have to go out of bus
iness.
The sea island cotton plauters
of Georgia are not alarmed at the
prospect thus pictured. They
have heard such predictions be
fore and have never seen of them
realized.
Time and time again we have
been told that Egypt, Russia, Asia,
and other foreigh regions were to
become very soon powerful com
petitors of the south in the pro
duction of cotton, but tho supre
macy of the south in cottou re
mains as distinct and as well as
sured as ever. The idea of mak
ing Cuba a great cotton producer
is not new.
The Savannah News, which rid
icules the Philadelphia syndicate’s
Cuban cotton scheme says:
“As a matter of fact experi
ments have been made in Cuba in
the cultivation of cotton. They
were made a century or more ago,
and again during the civil war in
this country when there was a
great demand for cotton.
“If the experiments had been
successful Cuba would now be pro
ducing ootton. Evidently there
is something in the soil or climate
of the island that is not suited to
the cotton plant. There is no
reason yet known that justifies the
opinion that Cuba will become a
rival of this country in the pro
duction of ootton.”
It may be accepted,as a certain
ty that the south will continue to*
be the world’s main dependence
for cotton; that the uses and val
ue of cotton will increase far be
yond what they now are; that the
south will manufacture a much
greater quanity and proportion
of her great staple crop than she
has ever yet taken to her own
mills and thereby realize profits
which the mere raising of no
amount of raw cotton could ever
bring her.

A wealthy farmer of Michigan,
John Shrandrow by name, has
just adopted a whole orphan asy
lum. Shandrow and his wife were
childless, and to assuage a life
long regret that such was the case
he wrote to an orphanage request
ing that several children be sent
to him for a summer outing, with
the privilege of adopting one or
more of them. The orphanage
manager promptly shipped him
twenty-two boys and girls from
three to ten years old—the visa
ble supply of the home. The big
hearted farmer was so well pleas
ed with his little visitors that he
adopted the whole outfit.—Ex.
A Cure Tor Cholera Infantum.
“Last May,” says Mrs. Curtis
Baker, of Bookwater, Ohio, “an
infant child of our neighbor’s was
suffering from cholera infantum
The doctor had given up all hopes
of recovery. I took a- bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy to the house,
telling them I felt sure it would
do good if used according to di
rections. In two days’ time the
child had fully recovered, and is
now (nearly a year since) a vigor
our, healthy girl. I have recom
mended this remedy frequently
and have never known it to fail in
any single instance.” For sale by
all dealers in Perry, Warren &
Lowe ,Byron.
Bocks And Peach Tr aes.
A correspondent of the Epitom-
ist says:
The peach is one of the best
fruits; yet it is very difficult to
grow fine peaches. When I was a
small boy my father had about
800 peach trees on his farm, and
the filth year they began to die
and in three years more they were
all dead, but five, and they looked
sickly. I took all rocks from a
potato patch and pilled them
around one of those peach trees,
when it became thrifty and bore
fine fruit for twenty years. Now
we cultivate our peach orchard
until the trees are four or five
years old and then we make a
rock pile around them, placing
the rocks, carefully so as not to
injure the bark, and we always
have fine, healthy trees and good
fruit. I don’t know whether the
rock would have the same ' effect
on different soils, but we think it
would.
