the same period, may have been more ex-
cusable, but was not the less unlawful.
The Supreme Court of the United States
is tribunal whose decisions command
and receive our highest respect and con-
sideration, even in cases like the present,
where they do not absolutely conclude
our action.
But the question now before US has been
settled by numerous decisions of this
court, made at every term held since the
termination of the war We are salts
fed with those decisions, and are unable
to coincide with the line of reasoning
adopted by the Supreme Court of the
United States in Thorington vs.. Smith;
and we do not feel that we would be JUS
tilted in now everything our own we'll
settled adjudications.
In accordance with the previous decis-
ions of this court, we hold that the in
structions given to the jury in the present
case were erroneous, and that the judy
ment must be reversed and a new trial
awarded. GEO. ANDREWS, Judge.

THE CITY.
VALUE OF CoTrON SEED.
Mandatory of Seed oil i'm the
CfgV.

ManufacfOry of Seed Oil i'm the
City.
1t has only been within the past few wears
that our people have had an adequate or
appreciable view of the value of cotton
seed. In former times, thousands of tons
OF this seed were thrown away, without
even having attached to them the value of
common fertilizers. The product of cotton
seed in sections where the fibrous staple is
grown, and that embraces a very wide area
OF the South, is truly enormous. They can,
and are being converted into sources of
great profit. They are no longer to be re-
garded as SO much waste and be left rotting
In the gin yards. The oleaginous substance
OF this seed is very valuable, and as the ma
terlal necessarily has to be procured ready
for use in order to get the cotton itself, a
little morelabor, after the preparations have
been once made, converts them into an
article of ready market. Oil factories from
the cotton seed have been established in
various parts of the South, and they are
continually improving, the experiments
when properly conducted having proven
remunerative and certain. A number of
them are In operation in this State There
= JIG IL eA4o SOubuSIH part OF the city on
High street, near Lincoln alley which we
visited yesterday. This establishment,
which does not claim as yet to be on an
extended scale, when in regular operation
can turn out twenty-five barrels of oil day.
The machinery and apparatus by which the
work Is accomplished is not at all intricate
or complicated, and the process not in the
strictest sense tedious one.
The cost of the material, seed, ETC., that
makes barrel of oil costs S14. Each bar
rel OF the oil in its crude state finds ready
home market at $22, leaving IS per
barrel for the manufacturing. But the oil
is not the only result. The ''cakes" or
seed whence the oily substance has been
pressed affords an excellent and nutritious
food for stock, equal almost to Indian
meal or barley. We expect to see the
time at no distant day, when large estab-
with all the essential adjuncts
md fixtures tor the producing of oil from
he cotton seed, will spring up throughout
he South, and when the already active de-
nand for the seed will be increased till it
becomes feature in commercial transac-
ions and quotations. Every year increases
)ur varied and inherent resources, and it
nay not be yet fully known what hidden
wealth there is in the cotton seed.

Dan Isice,s Circus.

Immense crowds attended the circus yes
terday afternoon and last night, and there
was Unmistakable evidence that the re-
nowned Dan Rice is not forgotten by his
friends of yore. He is the same individul
who created such sfurore in this place before
the war, and does not look day older. As
he was then, SO he is now-the life of the
arena. Other attractions fade into insignif-
canoe when he makes his appearance.
Graceful and daring equestrianism is IN
noticed when Dan Rice walks the ring. All
eyes are conferred upon him, and every
word that falls from his lips is taken in by
the listening multitude, and every gesture is
closely observed. Hissayings are original,
and his ways are winning. He gets ac-
quainted with every man In town half an
hour after he arrives, and hears all the news
about the place the day before he gets in.

very small boy was stolen from his parents.

and ill-considered reports for the pur-
pose of creating panic.

Efforts are making to get up walking
match between two well known gentlemen
of about equal physical ability. They
have also had about equal advantage for
practice and endurance, both being colleo-
tors, and each having an implacable aver
sion to horse flesh and street cars. The
respective friends of the two are sanguine
enough to believe that either can go at
least day better than Shepherds time,
and the next day pursue fugitive dollar
note with as much avidity and certainty as
ever. Should the match be made, due
public notice will be given as to time,
place, and the disposition to be made of
the funds realized,
