q MEASURE TO DEFEAT.

There is before Congress a bill that ought to be killed in the in- terest of the development of the western states where there are un. surveyed public lands, the survey of which is necessary to enable location by settlers and final grant ing them titles to their homesteads, mining. desert land or other loca- ticns That is a proposed enact ment to put under authority of the geological survey of all surveys and map making. Under the present law the various depart ments needing such service have each their own corps of surveyors and map makers; and each is in touch with the wants and needs oi the public in it's respective domain. For instance, in the department of the interior the general land office has control of the surveys of public lands, sWd the mapping and plat ting of the same. In each state having public lands there is United States surveyor general, subordinate and responsible to the department, who is in close touch with the settlers on the public domain in his own state and fam iliar with their wants and needs. Through him the department has close and intimate knowledge of what needs be done, and can get about to do it. Under the new measure all that will be looked out for by bureau at Washington, in touch with nothing and no one out in the country at large, wit h the public lands surveys an in- cident to the main business, caus- ing delays, ineficiency, and at- tendant with many other evils.
 A case in instance is related of two surveying parties operating In Cochise county last year. One was surveying townships in the Sulphur Springs valley, under supervision of the surveyor general of Arizona Territory, the other was making a geological plat of the region under the geological survey at Washing tou, D. c. Both parties completed their work at about the same time. Within two months the agricul- tural land had been plated, and the settlers were making their homestead filings, while at the end of six months the geological maps had not been completed by the survey officials at Washington. The new bill substitutes inefficient ser vice such as described for the prompt and satisfactory service now given in surveys of lands mines, oil claims, etc. Kill it.

GEORGIA STATE COURT OF
 APPEALS MAY BE ABOLISHED

increase of its labors--that is the hear ing of many appeals by other than full bench.
 Judge Fite has until Monday, October eS, to decide whether he will pay hls fihe or serve ten days in Jail. He is said to have been much pleased oYer the action of the Whitfield county grand Jury, and when asked in that connection what he proposed to do with reference to the sentence of tho court of appeals in the case against him for contempt, he replied:
 T have not yet decided and will not until the day arrives to make answer to the court. But whatever | do. ths step l take will be within the law and within my legal rights"
 In making It's recommendation the Whitfield grand jury specifically enieins upon the repre- sentative from that coun- ty in the general assembly, the duty O. introducing a bill for the abolition of the court. As rule represon tattNes seek to stand In at home. so II may ia taken for granted the bill will como from that county.

Atlanta, October 27.- Especial )--Now that the grand jury of Whitfield coun- v has returned presentments indors- ing the suggestion of Judge A W. Fite of the Cherokee circuit, that the state court of appeals should be abolished. 1t would not be surprising to see a bill introduced in tho next session from that or some other county of Judge Fite's circuit having that object In view.
 The action of the Whitfield grand iury followed Judge Tites scathing criticism of the court of appeals in hts charge to that body, while followed the action of the court of appeals in sen- tencing him to pay 8 fine of $500 or serve ten days in jail for contempt which followed the publication In the newspapers of some cards signed by Judge Fite rehecting upon the honor and integrity of the court.
 The court Of appeals silently ignored Judge Fltes charge to the grand jury which was, IT anything, worse than his cards. because il cannot hold him ae- conntable for what he says In a charge to the grnnd jury or from the bench. unless. of course, it should surpass all bounds of deeency, That Is said to have been the reason why the court took no further action following Judge Fite's charge.
 The truth of the matter seems 10 be that Judge Fite's attitude has rather popularized inc court of appeals, at least iE those sections not immediately attached to his circuit.
 Notwthstanding this, it Is pretty cer- tain that the next legislature will wit hess efforts to abolish the court. Snch an act would require an amendment to the constitution which necessitntes n two-t thiros vote of the members of both houses followed by a majority vote of the people If the court of appeals should be abolished, it would unques- tionablN be necessary 10 make material

CIVIC REFORMER JOLTS ATLANT|ANS Mcfarland Declares Streets Bad, Traffic Con-
 gested, Etc.

Atlanta, october 27.-( Special )--At- lanta was rudely shocked this week when ]. Horace Mcfarland. president of the American Civic association. came here and told Atlantans that their city was built for oxcarts fifty years ago. and had not since been improved upon
 MT. Mcfarland was brought here by the Chamber of Commerce and certain civic societies. to tell what is the mat ter and how to remedy things. And fin doing it MT. Mcfarland did not mince words His characterization of the city and the manner of it's building and the conduct of it. was not calcula ted to feed the flame of the well developed Atlanta pride.
 Mir. Mcfarland took a look over Al. lanta and then proceeded to point ont its faults. He reversed the usual pro cess; the custom has been for visitors when interviewed to paint in glowing terms Atlanta's beauty and greatness But Mr. Mcfarland took the other tack.
 Your streets are badly laid out he said The whole city needs laying out snew. Your traffic is badly congested Your public buildings are not properly grouped in order to get good results There is lack of careful supervision .n the management of your street sys- tenn. Atlanta's smoke Is worse than that of Pittsburg. You are wasting money in ornamental lighting. In some places you have too many arc lights: In others not enough. Your poorer classes are badly housed In other words Atlanta Is wrong from beginning to end.''
 It takes a good deal of nerve to tell cn Atlanta audience things like that. ard strangely enough Mir Mcfarland was invited and his expenses paid to come here and tell them just what he thought about it.
 It is to mark the beginning of crusade which the chamber of com n,erce has undertaken in behalf of the city useful and the city beautiful
 Ii is said 1t will cost couple Of millions. possibly more. to do all the things Mir. Mcfarland says should he done. The question Is where is tho poney coming from?
