COURTS ALMOST IDLE
LAWYERS ON VACATION AND LIT
TIE DOING
FEW SUPERIOR COURT CASES.
NO MORE JURY TRIALS UNTIL OC-
TOBER.

Judge Barrow Will Go to His Plan
tatiom Next Month, Returning to
Savannah to Hear Cases in Cham
bcrs-Judge Holden of the North
ern Circuit TO Hold Court for
Judge Barrow in October.
The June term of the Superior Court
is practically ended, and except the
hearings which have been set for
chambers, there will probably be no
more jury trials for the term.
The juries were discharged on Mon
day, at the close of business for the
term and new juries will not be drawn
until October unless an emergency
should arise. Monday morning Judge
Barrow called upon the members of the
bar to ascertain whether there we're
any cases on the docket which required
the intervention of a jury and which
had not been tried and were ready for
trial. 1t was found that there was
none.
Judge Barrow will take a short va
cation on his plantation in Oglethorpe
during September. AS there are quite
a number of equity cases to be heard
in chambers, which have already been
assigned for trial during that month,
the judge will be present on those
dates and, from time to time, ready to
dispose of any matter which can be at
tended to without the intervention of
a jury There will be no call of the
docket for the assignment of cases on
Monday morning, as is usual, and
there will be no call after that until
further notice. When new juries are
summoned, the call will be resumed
When the court adjourned yester-
day it as until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. Many members OF the bar
are absent from the city on leaves of
absence from the court and there is
very little business.
Judge Horace NJ. Holden of the
Northern circuit, will hold court for
Judge Barrow on the third Monday in
October, and cases have already been
assigned for that week. In almost all
of these cases Judge Barrow is dis
qualified by reason of his having pre-
yiously been counsel.

Before a week had passed, it was re-

Fearing that the draft was hoodoo,
the merchant hurried off to the Of

JOYCE's STORM RELIC.
An Old Wooden Table which stood
the Storm mt Tybee

Before the Liberty street entrance
to James j. Joyce's store, Abercorn
and Liberty streets, stands an old
green table with d history. About
this time of the month twenty-one
years ago when the big storm ragged
upon the island. the table foated out
of the store, and so far as the pro-
prietor knew, had gone the way every
thing else went at that time.
The store was demolished and the
ice boxes, meat axes, butcher knives
were buried beneath the sand
The contents of the store was a to-
tai loss. No meat was saved, no
groceries were even found the next
morning. Indeed no effort was made
to protect the property. Mr. Joyce
was devoting his attention to aiding
others in removing the dead and wait
ing upon the injured. Several years
later, in the summer homes, the old
green table came to light. On the up
per end Of the island lying fiat on its
back with its legs hoisted against a
palm, and pitch rolling out of its I'M
der side. it was discovered.
1t was picked up by MIR. Workman
a resident of the island, and used
many years.
The other day, he sent it up to Mr..
Joyce.
The table is about the only relic
OF the storm now and is highly priced
by its owner.
