The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-05-30

Somebody suggests this good parody on
the old round "Three Blind Mice"
Poor blind menl
See how they vote,
They all run after the G. O, P,
Which votes them solid for J. c. B.,
u. And sanctions crime for license fee,
Those poor blind men
This will sing well, and is good mate
to the round presented to us by Miss
Frances E. Willard last Christmas:
Whisky's going whisky's going;
Vote on, vote on!
Everybody, everybody

A Licensed Murderer.

The way liquor digs the grave of genius
is fully set forth in the following lines
from The Issue: '"The grave Of Tom
Marshall, one of Kentucky's greatest ora
tors, is in an open field near Versailles.
IT is uncared for, and only small slab at
the head of tho grave tells the stranger
who lies beneath. And the same serpent
power that stung to death this eagle
genus pays the state for legal right to
pillow our soil with myriads Of just such
neglected graves. Shall the slaughter

THE WORD "LnuTED "a subscriber
asks for an explanation OF tbs word limit
ed, which frequently follows the name OF e
corporation, so the Sunrise Backing com.
pany, limited" or Smith & Jones, limited /"
In the lest case, as in the first, the concern
is corporation, with shareholders not ono
OF whom, possibly, is a Smith or q Jones'
The old principle CT corporations created
by legislative act was chat the entire prop
erty of every stockholder waa liable Tor the
whole debts OF the company, az the whole
property of every member OF general
partnership is atil liable for the debts of the
firm.
But this system made every shareholder
responsible for bad management of which
hu might not be guilty, and deferred
wealthy men from becoming Interested in
the shares of corporations. 70 remove this
objection The principle OF limited liability
was introduced, and in order to notify the
public that only the separate property OF the
corporation was liable for the debts Of the
corporation the English law requires that
tho word Limited" shall be used in every
case by the company.
Most American corporations are constitut-
ed ca the principle OF limited liability, but
few, if any, of the States epjoin companies to
append the word limited to their corporate
titles. The matter is so well understood IN
this country, indeed, that it ia not necessary.
The most noteworthy exception 10 the
general rule is the case of the national banks
and even in this instance liability is limited
to an amount equal to the par value of the
shares That is, if national bank fails,
each stockholder may not only lose what he
hes invested, but 800 more for each share
of stock he holds, if so much is necessary to
pay the debts Of the banK
Until within few years sll the Scottish
banks were organized with unlimited lia-
bility and when eight or ten years ego, g
Glasgow bank failed, disastrouay, there
were cases of men who only owned shnre
or two, valued before the failure OF not
much more than hundred dollars each,
who we're assessed thousands Of pounds
sterling, to meet the debts of the bank. Since
that time the Scottish banks have been al
lowed to reorganize on basis Of limited
liability. Youths Companion.

SoME AMUSING YERDIcT5. 5.-The duties
of those who serve cn the coroner's iuries
do not ordinarily suggest anything very fun.
n.y. and yet some laughablo results come
from their work, particularly if they do not
exactly understand what is expected OF
them.
An amusing story is told of verdict
brought in by Western jury impaneled to
inquire into the cause of the death of man
supposed 10 have committed suicide. The
verdict was brief and to the point, the fore.
man saying simply:
"We, the jury find the deceased guilty as
charged"
Another jury examining a great many
witnesses in the case of a man run over by
railroad engine, the verdict was
I'VE find him to have come to his death
by being cut in two by railroad engine,
whereby he could not breathe, hence be
choked to death"
A coroners jury in the backwoods of Mis-
souri, heard all the evidence in the case of a
man killed by runaway team and brought
in the following verdict:
1.-THE jury finds the dead deceased to have
come to his death at the hands of a runaway
team, the horses thereof being blameless,
they being frightened by dog"
1t is told of an old German that he sat
stolidly and stupidity on coroner's jury
and listened to all the evidence, after which
he walked over to the corpse with some de-
gree of curiosity. Lifting the cloth, he start
ed back, turned to the other jurymen in
amazement and alright and cried out:
mine Gracious shentlemen, dot man is
dead"
A Jury in Missouri rural community de-
liberated three hours over the corpse of
womaD burned by the explosion of kero
sene lamp The following verdict was then
announced in writing.
Resolved. That the Diseased was burt to
deth. The joory."
A man. supposed to bea tramp, was found
dead in the woods out West. A jury in
quired into the cause of his death, and re-
ported as follows
1.-THE jury does not find that the dead man
has been foully dealt with, and is OF the
opinion that he died simply because his
time had come, and there was no getting
out of t."-St. Louis Globe.

Arkansas as aFruit-Producing State.

Among the many resources of Ar
kansas Its capability as fruit-pro-
ducing State is one Of which we must
not lose sight That it is favorably
situated none can dispute.
Occupying position which-while
it is not SO far south but what the an
pie will grow in all its perfection and
be free from many of the ills which
are so detrimental to its successful
raising in so many of the Northern
Sta,es-will admit of the successful
culture of many fruits that must be
supplied to the Northern markets from
II more-favored climate. Her position
also renders the Southern markets
available. She can supply them with
fruit that they can not grow to per-
lection with profit at home.
Arkansas has already done much
oward showing the world what she
can do in Embarrassing. She has shown
that in the quality of her fruit she is
surpassed by none.
what she now wants is some enter
prising fruit-culturist to show what
he can do in production--some one
20 take up the culture of fruit in a
commercial way.
Her fruit-producing qualities have
been shown in general way by anna
teurs and farmers who have paid some
attention to fruit-growlng as much for
leasure as for profit.
These qualities being ascertained
and settled beyond dispute, we NAV
confidently expect her to make rapid
tribes in the near future.
No business is better paying than
That of the commercial orchardist
when he has secured climate and soil
from which he may reasonably expect
good crop of fruit. We do not claim
The fruit growers bed to be all roses

Value of Manures from Stock.

Farm stock should be looked upon
as machines for manufacturing animal
products from the crops of the farm,
and strict economy demands that great
attention be paid to the feeding, as the
main source of our restoration of worn
land will come from barry ard manure
At first sight it may appear to the I'M
thinking man that any food will. when
converted into manure, have the same
value. But this is not so. The values
of different manures from sundry
foods have wide cash variance. For
example the following foods are taken
and the cash value of the resulting
manures given:
