acres opened to homestead settlement only
5000 acres remain vacant. This is Il good
showing. especially when the fact is taken
into consideration that it is the highest
priced government land in the state. Set
tiers taking lands there were and are re-
quired to pay the Government at the rate
of 1915 per acre. When making entry
homestcaders must pay a preliminary sum
of Sd cents per acre in addition to the entry
fee of $14. the remaining 1925 per acre
being paid when final proof is made at the
expiration of seven years from date OF
entry. Many inquiries are being received
i'll reference to the remaining 15,0OO acres.
and it is only a question of Il short time
when it will practically all have passed
into the hands of homesteaders.

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Cases That Will BE Heard This Week
in That Tribunal.

The cases against Barbee & Bandy, res
taurant keepers at Isle of Hope, charged
with selling liquor within two miles of
country church and without license from
the state and county, have been assigned
for trial In the Superior Court to-day, and
will probably be heard.
The cases are based on the alleged action
of the keepers of the restaurant at that
popular saltwater resort in selling in
toxicating liquors to the members of the
Isle of Hope Yacht Club, of which both
the defendants are members. The defense
is that the beer and other beverages that
were sold were the property of the club.
and were sold only to the members of the
club, a privilege that had been given It
by Its charter from the court in which
the cases are to be tried
AS the decision will hinge, possibly, on
the right of q club 10 sell liquor wi hin the
prohibited distance from a country church.
the result of the cases will be anxously
awaited. The question seems to be a new
one in Georgia, though it has been touch
ed on, at least, In a somewhat similar case
that went up from Augusta. AS the rule
OF law will doubtless apply to many clubs
situated close TO country churches that
are in the habit of dispensing rquor to
their members, there Is more than a local
interest in Judge Falligants decision ana
the ultimate fate Of the case should II be
appealed to the Supreme Court.
The case of W. s. Nell, who has been
indicted by the grand jury of the court
for the offense of murder, will probably
not be assigned for triad before Mr.. Os-
borne's return from Atlanta, after the ad-
JouTnment of The Legislature, or the final
passage or defeat of the bin creating the
ONCE of solicitor Of the City Court This
viii postpone the hearing until next week,
at the earliest, end il may be later in the
month before date agreeable 10th 10 the
solicitor general and TO counsel for the
prisoner can be arranged
"A number OF other cases win be as
signed probably during the morning. Some
OF these were set for hearing last week
but the duration of some of the trials
crowded them off the calendar. In other
cases the defendants are in jail and it is
desired by the court that trials be allowed
them and their guilt or innocence of the
crimes with which they were charged es-
tablished just as soon as is compatible
with the convenience of counsel and the
demands of strict justice.
The indictments that have been found
against Alfred Fl. Moore, charging him
with forgery, are among those that were
assigned for trial last week, but were not
heard They viii probably be assigned for
the earliest possible day this week. as will
others in the same category. Judge Falh-
CANT hopes to be able to get rid of all of
