A MUCH NEEDED REFORM.
Supreme Court Reports, Where They
Exceed 80 Pages, to be Issued I'm
Two Volumes.

The hath n. G. Supreme Court Re-
port has been printed and is now be.
ing bound and it is expected that it
will be ready for the profession by next
week; the 135th, which is the second
volume, devoted to the decisions of the
February term will, it is hoped, be
ready for sale by the time that the
court convenes for the August term,
on the 18th instant.
The issuance of two volumes OF re-
ports for one term is an innovation
which was brought about by recent
rule of the court providing that no
volume of reports should hereafter
exceed 500 pages, and is Il needed re-
form. With the multiplication of Su-
preme Court decisions and the length
ening of the courts opinions, the re-
ports have almost steadily increased
in size from year to year until they
have become so bulky as to be both
difficult to handle and to preserve.
While the cost to the lawyers will be
somewhat more than formerly, the
saving in time and worry and in the
life of the books will be greatly to
their advantage.

Mountains Miss the Summer.

Ex-Attorney General Theo. F.
Davidson, who was in the city yester-
day to confer with Governor Aycock
about submitting n proposal for
lease of the Atlantic and North Caro-
lima Railroad. says that while Ashe-
vile and the other mountain resorts of
the State have fairly good crowds this
summer they are nothing like the
crowds who came last season. when
Asheville was taxed to it's uttermost to
accommodate the visitors. The de-
crease he attributes to two causes, the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis. which is
taking daily train loads away from
the State, and the cool weather which
has prevailed so far this summer all
over North Carolina. In ASheVille,
says Mr.. Davidson. there was no sum-
mer at all before the beginning of the
present month, the temperature being
phemoninally low. Not only have the
people been sleeping under blankets
as is usual at night, but the days have
been cool also. On July 10Th. for in
stance, the thermometer at Asheville
registered as low a degree as 81.
Asheville, says Mr.. Davidson. can
well accommodate 5000 people and
has ample room this year to take care
of all who come; while last season
many people who came with the inten-
ton Of summerng in the city had to
move on in search of other resorts.
