his peers, but it does not seem at all clear
that any wrong has been committed. The
ultimate power in this State Of deciding all
questions Of fact and law in civil cases is
not with the jury, but with the judges.
Litigation must not continue forever; the
law was evidently formed for the purpose
of ending these suits which could not other

obtained who would agree one way or the
other. Therefore, there seems to be con-
siderable strength in the argument of plain

meet the exigency. Article ten of the con-
stitution declares that the courts shall
remain open, and every person for injury
done him, ETC., shall have adequate remedy

istered without denial or unreasonable
delay.
The remedies which existed before this
act was passed only afforded to the person
who sought to maintain the rights guaran-

Of an interminable suity afforded means to
plaintiff aud defendant of preventing the
cause from going before the judges who
have the final authority to decide. Such
remedies did not meet the requirements of
the bill of rights; they we're not ade-

The theory that the virus Of disease can
be safely counteracted by doses of poison
is false and dangerous. Within the last
twenty-five years. not less than a score oil
virulent poisons,, have been added to the re-
pository of the medical profession. They
are gwen IN small doses, otherwise they
would destroy life Immediately; but even
in minute quantities, they produce, ultimate
~, very disastrous effects. II, is unwise
and unphilossphical to employ as remedies,
powerful and insidious drugs, which insub-
jugating one disease, SOW the seeds of an
other still more unmanagesble. None OF
these terrible indictments operate with as
much directness and certainty upon the eau

leterioas ingredient an its compositions
Arsenic and quinia are given for intermit-

disorders, strychline and prussic acid for
general debility; mercury, in its various
forms, for Liver complaint; preparations of
chloroform and opium for sleeplessness;
and yet these deadly drugs do not compare,
as specifics for the diseases above enumera-
ted, with that wholesome vegetable inyigo-

sP From present indications,
the peach crop of Lincoln county
will be abundant, and it can be
turned to profit in q degree un-
known in our history. If the re-
ports be true, the peaches forth
of Tennessee were very generally
killed by the late frosts, and all
parties agree there that the yield
will be very small, not equal TO
one-fourth, probably, of the de-
mand. This being what should
we do? Why, make ample prep
arations 1oac for drying and can
ming every peach possibly. Have
everything ready to go to work as
soon as the fruit ripens, and when
that time comes, take special care
to dry and can nicely SO that the
result Of your labor will stand the
test of a commercial examination.
Place a good article in good con-
dition on the market, and a speedy
sale at fair price will follow
The prospect now is that the
wheat will bring but little money
into the county, and this unfor-
tunate deficiency may be largely
alleviated by the abundant peach
crop we are likely to have, provi.
ded we improve the opportunity
thus afforded us.
