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.

MACON, GA. J. W. SHINHOLSER, MACON, GA.j . 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. Sound Kidneys—Perfect Health. The use of Smith’s Sure Kidney Cure will produce both.
