Notwithstanding these facts, 1t had

He was followed by Mr.. vsllandg.

on the course pursued by Mr.. Spruaucs

land.
Mr.. Spruance commenced his argu.
ment at l.30 O'Clock, and In referring
to the remarks of Mr.. Vallandigham 10
regard to being prevented introducing
certain testimony, said there were
several ways to try the case, and one Of
them waS to abuse the counsel on the
other side.
He spoke about half an hour, anil
closed by saying that while the narr
filed by the plaintiff claimel $500, they
would be satisfied with whatever the
Jury thought right to award them. The
charge was delivered by the Chief jus.
tics, and the jury retired ut 1920 o.

ing "corn to the acre." and that it
would do as an item to show our hill
planters what could be accomplished
on the rich soil Of MorehOuse, with
proper cultivation, and did not go over
the Clarion mans figures to see if his
answer to Mr.. Wards question was
correct or not. Since we have received
two communications showing the CLAIR
IONS solution of the problem incorrect.
The proper answer to the question is
es follows: a piece ofground 1872 yards
long, 81 yards at one end and IS at the
other, will contain 7.S acres, and if
Mr.. Ward gathered 80 barrels therefrom
and his "barrel," as the Clarion re-
marked, contained a bushel, his land
produced an average of 4S bushels to
the acre.
