Of More Benefit To Fraaklla Comtjr
Than Recorder's Court If Carried
Oot In Proper Spirit.
Below we publish In full two laws
passed by the last General Assembly
applying to Franklin County along
with all other counties ot tke State
that will be ot vastly more benefit to
this county than an expensive Recor
der's Court. This copy Ot t hade laws
were Just received by. the .ffiroea on
Monday, after the defeat of the Recor
der's Court. We are givtng the two
laws In full that the citizens might
know what they are and see how they
may benefit the Court procedure.-With
the operation of both we see no need
of any case being docketed until It Is
ready for trial and by that means can
not serve to hold off some other case
because of Its numerical order. They
will also do away with a large num
ber of cases that now occupy rlgttt
much of the Courts time, as they can
either be settled or thrown out of
Court by the clerk. The lawd follow:

Reprisals Against Americans In Rus
sia Will Be Deal tli With.
Washington, July 1.?The Russian
Soviet government was warned by the
United States today in a message sent
through the American legation at
Stockholm that reprisals against Am
erican citizens in Russia would arouse
intense sentiment in the United Stat
es against, the Soviet heads.
The warning was contained in a
cablegram sent by Acting Secretary
of State Phillips in reply to a protest
from Soviet Foreign Minister Tchicer
in against the reported arrest of L. A.
C. K. Martens, the Soviet representa
tive in New York. The protest intima
ted that reprisals might be taken
against Americans ill Rusnia.
Secretary Phillips in Ins reply as
serted that Martens had not been ar- I
rested but said it was understood he
was claiming official status as* "the j
representative of a regime at Moscow 1
which the United States has not recog
nized."
The reply also said that Martens :
was a German citizen anct denied that
the American govrnmei?t centempla
ted any action against law-abiding
Russians in'the United Stntes.
