bly, in it's novel method of dealing win
violators of the law. There is a court
without officers, yet it has fines and pen
alties In this novel court a person ac-
cused of crime within it's jurisdiction, is
not only tried by a jury of the vicinage,
but the whole neighborhood is the jury
When a member of the community Is
charged with the commission OF a crime
he Is notified to appear at certain time
and place to be tried for the offense. Inc
entire neighborhood or as nearly all as
practicable, is also notified OF the trial'
At the appointed time the neighbors repair
to the place named as a court ground, and
the trial begins. Witnesses are examined,
the defendant is allowed to make state
ment and everything is conducted IKE
a case in a court of law except that there
are no lawyers. If the accused is found
guilty he is sentenced to pay fine, which
is generally a little less than the courts
would impose in a like case. IL the de-
PENDANT pays the fine, that settles the
case, and the fine is applied to the main
tenance of the heighborhood school; If
the defendant refuses to pay he is handed
over to the law. In most cases the de-
PENDANT chcerfully pays the fine assessed,
because the case is thereby settled in the
neighborhood, he escapes the publicity of
a trial, and possibly saves money in the
bargain The system has been in vogue
a number of years, and only one man has
refused to comply with the courts sem
tence, and he took leg bail The members
of the community say that the system
works admirably, that the school not only
gets the benefit of all fines, but that this
mas.ner of sitting in judgment on mans
case has a fine effect in making members
of the neighborhood law-abiding.

FIDELITY BANK FIGHT.
The DepOsitOrs Resolve to Institute
Criminal Proceedings.

Atlanta, Ga, May 27.-The depositors of
the defunct Fidelity Banking and Trust
Company held a mass meeting tonight
and passed resolutions resolving to insti-
tute criminal proceedings against all
stockholders and officers of the wrecked
bank unless arrangements are completed
within ten days for paying of all deposit
ors in full.
A committee was appointed to attend to
tie details and appoint lawyers to conduct
the prosecution. and this committee is
to put the stockholders and officers on
notice within the next three days. 1t
appears that when the bank went under
the stockholders agreed to put up funds
to pay the depositors, but they have failed
to do this and the depositors want to re-
sort to the criminal laws, which provide
a severe penalty for officers of banks who
receive deposits when they know the bank
to be rotten, which it is alleged was boldly
done in the case of the Fidelity.

PHOSPHATE SHIPMENTS.
Fernandina's Comparative Record
For Four Months.

Fernandlna. Fla. May H.-There have
been forwarded 55.742 tons of phosphate
rock from this port during this year.
This amount is distributed as follows:
January $3.50 tons; February, lisa tons;
March. 5000 tons; April, 22,429 tons; to-
tai, 55.7l2 tons.
There were 81 ,Sl5 tons of phosphate eX-
ported from this port during the first four
months. or first quarter of 1896. These fig
ures place the year OF 1896 in the lead by
6.1is tons to April 80. For May Il is esti-
mated that 10000 tons will go forward
and this will place the amount for the
first five months OF 1897 at S5.7Sl tons, max
ing an advance over 1896 to the same time
of 2.45S tons.
The shipments of rock this year prom
Use to exceed those of the year 1895 by
about $1,000 or 10000 tons, and compare
very favorably with 1885, during which
year 1862 S46 tons Of phosphate rock were
shipped This decrease in shipment in
1896 as compared with those OF 1896. is ac-
counted for by the extraordinary increase
IN marine rates, caused by heavy grain
shipments during the last four months Of
the year. Consequently phosphate ship
ments were delayed. and the year 1897
