The indications, he said, for this second | crop, which in the main comprises cab | bage. Irish and sweet potatoes and turnfps, are that the largest harvest in
 the history of this section will be gathered. The weather conditions l nave been most favorable and the yield l will more than make good the losses

 Register in Chancery Holt today re- cetved the Supreme Court decision in the now famous Edwin County court house case. Much attention has been drawn to this case in Mobile because
 of the removal of the court house from Daphne, opposite this city on the eastern shore, to Bay Minette, in the
 northern portion of Baldwin. It ap- pears that many here and in Baldwin
 had misconception of the decree of the Supreme Court, these thinking the
 decision was favorable to Daphne.
 Registrar Holt says that the Supreme Court sustains Chancellor Smith on
 the demurrers in that under the aver
 ments in the bill the act removing the court house never went into effect The question now remaining are:
 First, Whether the defendants can
 show any grounds which made the
 act effective.
 Second. Whether the complaints can prove the averments included in their present bill.
 Summing up the decision. 1t means
 that no final ruling has been made in the case and that none will be made
 until the case Is finally submitted on the pleadings and proofs.
