Epes or NottOway.
The records. according to Delegate
Henley, show that 577 appeals have
been granted by the Supreme Court
within the last four years. and that
i9s have been refused during the same
length of time. 1t is also true, he
says. that the court has sustained the
Judgment of the lower tribunal in
about so per cent of the cases In
which appeals have been allowed. In
the last analysis. this means that
trial courts have been reversed in
only about c5 per cent of the judg-
ments they rendered
The creation of another tribunal OF
equal numbers and dignity with the
Supreme Court Of Appeals would mean
tho expenditure by the State of some
thing like 100000 year in addition
to the amount it now expends for the
maintenance OF courts OF justice. that
being about the amount it costs to
maintain the court OF last resort as
IL exists today.
The Pitts bill is on It's third read
ing in the House of Delegates.

For instance, the signed testimonial

of interest. He says:
MY wife was practically an invalid

agony; her stomach was out of order

liver and Kidneys She felt all run
down and was so nervous tina. sho
seldom got a good nights sleep. She

by friend and the first bottle gave
her so much benefit that she continued
to take 1t. SO is now able to eat any,
thing she wants, sleeps well and her
liver and Kidneys are in normal con-
dition. We can't praise Plant Juice
enough, for It has cured my wife of
all her troubles. I am glad to make
this statement In the hope that It will
be Of benefit to others who suffer-"
