JUDGE SPEER INVITED
TO SAVANNAH.
Chamber of Commerce Extends
Him m Invitation to Move Here.

Chamber OF commerce EAtehuS
Him m Invitation to Move Here.
The Chamber of Commerce, through
it's Executive Committee sent an'invi-
tation to Judge Emory Speer yesterday
to make his residence in Savannah dur
ing the construction of the new govern
ment building in Macon.
The tearing down of Macon's present
government building in which the court
rooms and offices of the United States
courts are located, it is expected will
necessitate a change in the holding of
the courts. In that event Judge Speer
might move to Savannah or he might
go to Augusta.
The handsome and commodious
court rooms and offices In
the Savannah public building are, in
their way, an inducement in Savan-
nahs favor and it is hoped that the in
vitation of the Chamber of Commerce
to Judge Speer and his family to make
their residence here, at least during the
building of the new court rooms in Ma
con, if not permanently, will be ac-
cepted.

eral articles of bank furniture The
exhibit is one of the most appropriate
on the grounds.
Opposite are the booths of the Good

the decided appropriateness of the dis

COTTON BOBBED UP
80 TO 35 POINTS.
Bulls Were Happy and the Shorts
Gloomy.

Bulls Were Happy and the Shorts
Gloomy.
The rise of 80 to So points in the New
York and New Orleans cotton mar
kets yesterday caused some surprise
locally, not because of bearishness. but
owing to the sharp rise on the top of
previous advances. A reaction was
looked for. The closing was at the
top and indicated remarkable strength.
Many crowded about the brokerage
offices during the day to get the latest
news from the big trading centers
There was nothing but good news for
the bulls, however. 1t looked gloomy
for the shorts.
Persons returning from the interior
give very poor crop accounts, some
saying that after Dec. the fields will
be bare of cotton. South Carolina
Georgia, Alabama and Texas are away
short. They say Mississippi will make
a good crop.

doubt concerning the legality Of that
measure has not been disposed Of
It is rumored that Gov. Peabody
will call an extra session for the sole
purpose Of passing an APPROPRIATION
bill.
This brings up subject of con
stantly recurring interest at every
legislative session, and that is the
duty of the Legislature to dispose Of
important Legislative matters as
promptly as may be possible and
without waiting until the last day or
two Of the session.
The great trouble in every session
of the Legislature is that two thirds
OF the time Is .rittered away in use
less debate and in negligent atten-
tion to business. Then, when the
expiration of the ninety day limit ap
prosches, there is great hurry and
scramble to crowd important bust
ness through, with the result that in
nearly every Instance the session has
been prolonged by some fictitious e1-
tention of the last day. The clock
is turned back or some other such
device is adopted to make what the
members profess to believe is tech
nicsl compliance with the constitu-
tionsl provision respecting the length
Of a session.
The few hours thus gained are
little or nothing compared with the
days and weeks wasted in the earlier
part Of a session.
II members of the legislature
would take their duties somewhat
seriously and attend to the business
b ore them as they would attend to
matters of private concern, they
would have no difficulty in closing q
session before the expirption of nine
ty days There would certainly be
no need of fictitious extentions of a
Legislative day.
It is to be regretted that the court
was not able to decide the main
question at issue, 30 that if it should
be held that the method employed
in passing the appropriation bill in
this instance was illegal, the decision
might be used as spur to force the
members to the proper discharge of
duties they almost uniformity neg
