TO RELIEVE TOE
SUPREME COURT
LA VYERS MEET TO DEVISE WAYS
AND MEANS TO ACCOM
PLISH IT.
Several Good Suggestions Were Made
and a Bill Will Be Recom
mended to the Next
Legislature.
The committee of prominent Geor
gia lawyers appointed at the recent
meeting of the Georgia Bar associa
tion at Warm Springs for the purpose
of devising means for relieving tlie
harden of the Supreme court of toe
state, held a meeting at tin; capitol
yesterday, and as ai result of an inter
esiing discussion decided upon one
measure which the legislature will be
asked to pass at its coming session.
The hill decjueu upon by the com
mittee provides that no right of ap
peal of tlie supreme court shall lie
iu cases w..ere amounts involved is
under SSOO, exeept in certain classes
of eases which are enumerated. Ex
ception of course is made of criminal
cases, habeas corpus, divorce, equity
and other eases of a like character;
and it is calculated that such an
amendment to the constitution would

Atlanta, prcsulotu of the
Georgia Bar Association, is ex-officio
chairman, and Orville A. Park, of Ma
con. secretary. Other members of the
committee present were: Washing

Several plans looking to the re
lief of tiie supreme court were dis
cussed by tn,e lawyers, ami among
other things a court of appeals was
talked of. An effort was made at the
I st session nf the legislature to se
cure an amendment to the constitu
tion providing for a court ol appeals,
but it failed.
The only difmitc action taken was
the endorsement of an amendment io
arliicle 6, section 2, paragraph 3, of
i lie constitution, w.iich is section
5836 of the code. Tiie amendment
proposed was roughly drawn yester
day, as follows:
"No writ of error snail lie to the
supreme court in any civil case unless
•the amount involved exceeds the sum
or value of s6llll principal, except it
shall appear from the bill of excep
tions that it is a divorce eas%, a case
respecting the titles to land, or an
equity! case; or a case involving ti
tle to a public office, or in a habeas
corptts ease or a contempt case; or
the case is one in which an act of the
general assembly is sought to he set
aside as being contrary to tne con
stitution of the state of Georgia or of
tne o tuted States, and the decision
upon this question .s made necessary:
or the ease is one in which any jus
tice of the supreme court of the state
of Georgia, upon an exempli..cation of
the record, will certify that in his
opinion a writ of error should issue.”
It was decided that this outline
should oe prepared in the form of a
bill by tne time of the next meeting

versified in character as to cover
nearly every form of popular enter
tainment which the lyceum lias made
famous, vocal and instrumental con
certs, readings, monologues by people
so competent as to be secured year
after year by too Lyceum.
Messrs. Fleming & Waff have al
ready secured the following for the
Lyceum course: Clias. de Motte, Miss
Ida Bently, a dramatic reader; the
•'Ottumwas Male Quartette,” with
Miss Julia Van Densen as a reciter;
