Motion'made and adopted for the committee to whom was referred the so-called superior court bill to now report. The committee offered two reports.

Majority, J. Paul Grove and X. 31. Cherry Anthony; G. T.

Parry of Harper. Minority, Kussell Wiggins of Attica and M. M. Duncan of Anthony. A pretty warm discussion was then had.

Those in favor of the extraordinary proceeding special court for Sumner and Harper counties to help Judge Herrick catch up with the business on the docket, then expire, were Grove Sheppard of Anthony and Parry of Harper, who took the grounds that the people, more especially the lawyers, needed relief in this matter of court business. Mr. Parry urged not to make a fight against the scheme, because presented by Anthony, and said we needed and wanted more courts to relieve the farmers from whom he received his Mr. Shepherd then came to the relief and rang the old "chestnut, "tisa Harper and at once all tl.elittle attorneys got in lino in favor of the scheme, except Duncan, Avho was absent, and Mr. Cade who said he was opposed to the scheme until the legislature passed a law giving two years redemption on all mortgage foreclosure sales.

But Cade voted "I77 just the same. Mr. Wiggins, of Attica, in a neat little speech opposed the scheme, because in his opinion, the people were not asking for it, did not.need it and it would has-ten their chances of losing their farms, and be an injury to a great portion of our people. Mr. Si as on I in one of his cliarac- teristic speeches, opposed the measure said that it was a scheme to hasten judgement on the numerous mortgage foreclosures in our county, and would greatly injure many of our people, and be of no corresponding benefit, a useless expenditure of money, that it would injure lawyers and people by compelling eight months of court in this sparsely settled county, while we were in fact getting along pretty well with four months of court.

Ballard opposed the scheme for three reasons: 1st. It was a po litical scheme to get another judge at a salary of $2,500 per year, appointed from Sumner county, with no corresponding benefit to Harper county, and did not favor Sumner county "bagging'7 Harper county any longer politically. 2nd. That if a change must be made that it would be better, and the people would be better satisfied to re-district and place Harper county with Barber county in a new district, so one judge could do the business. He thought this better than to create this temporary court to exist long enough to create a large expense for extra court records, burden the peonle with eight months court for a season, then drop out and leave a confusion of records for all time.

He thought the people would not complain if districts were made in the usual manner, but would in this unusual and expensive manner. 3rd, That to organize this new and unusual court for the purpose of making it possible for foreign loan companies to hasten foreclosures of the numerous mortgages held by them, and hasten the time when the farms of our people would be judicially taken from them under mortgage fore Us.
