Cuthbert Appeal in Cuthbert, Georgia

Repeal of United States bankrupt law urged by law association

The United States Law Association circulates a petition urging repeal of the bankrupt law. A preamble from the July 25 1873 New York meeting claims the act harms creditors and mercantile contracts and calls on Congress to repeal it. The Savannah Republican notes the petition and wider calls for action by the bar and business community. The rest reports on Bengal cotton and jute prospects, a Niagara tightrope act, editorial views on newspaper funding, and a Macon iron foundry accident.
