Good Advice to Lawyers.

The true lawyer rather prevents
than encourages litigation, and finds
in the end that his own best inter-
csts are promoted thereby.
These words were spoken by Mr..
Chauncey M. Depew to the gradu-
ating class of the Yale Law School.
They cmbody one of the soundest
rules that govern legal practice.
A lawyer who understands his
business should be able in most cases
to determine the law and the tights
of his client with reasonable certain
ty, to tell whether his client will win
or loose by going into court. Unless
there is fair chance of winning, or
the question is so doubtful that only
q decision can settle it, the counsel
should keep his client out Of litiga-
tion unless forced into it.
In every suit one party or the
other must be in the wrong and
come, out unsuccessful. 1t is the
business of lawyer on the losing
side to discover his error before go
ing into court.
But this salutary rnle seems to be
widely disrcgardcd in practice.
Hundreds of suits arc brought or de-
Tended in which lawyer OF the
most ordinary ability ought to fore
see defeat Many attorneys appear
to go on the theory that it is for the
judge on the bench, not the counsel
in his Office, to ascertain the rights
of the client. This course is not
only costly to the unsuccessful liti-
giant, but it is one of the most proli.
lic causes that crowd our courts with
litigation.
The best lawyer is the one that al
ways keeps his client out of court in
a bad case and only goes in with a
good nne.-Weao York Herald.

The Worlds Tobacco vi Id.

The worlds annual output of
tobacco is increasing, perhaps, more
rapidly than that of either wheat OF
corn. Kentucky is the greatest
factor in the tocacco market, and
her product steadily grows. That
OF Virginia does likewise, and sew
eral of the Northern States are cult
waiting it successfully. Cuba has
long been famous for her cigar wrap
pers, and in many parts of the island
the planters are abandoning sugar
and turning their attention to tobac-
co, finding the latter much more
profitable. Even Germany is en-
deavoring to raise it. But the great
est efforts to extend the cultivation
of tobacco are being made in he
East Indies. Both the soil and the
climate of the great island near the
Asiatic coast are admirably adapt
cd to the weed, and it has long been
successfully grown there, but not
until recently have attempts been
made to produce it on such a large
scale. Both the Dutch and the
English are heavily interested, and
the industry is not conducted by
small farmers as here in Kentucky
but by great companies on immense
plantations, working thousand OF
more Coolies and Malays. Tho
most prosperous Of the companies
arc located in Batavia and Sumatra
and their tobacco is frequently ship
ped to American markets The
last issue Of the London Efna,ecia
News quotes the stock of five o.
these corporations as follows: $50
l51, 836, 429 and G10. They have
advanced about 60 points each il
tho last three months, and are
among the most highly priscd shares
on the London exchange.

Doctors Bills In China.

We have hardly begun torealize

the Chinese in science and general.

Chinese economy, even to the fg4S
urcs written on the theory that the !
converse of every great truth must
itself be true. But the inverted
method is often the soundest.
We Occidentals only pay our
doctors when we are sick, and some
times not even then. The Celestial
method, as shown by the example Of
the emperor Of China is to pay the
doctor only when one is well.
AS soon MS the emperor is sick it
is a notification to his physicians
that their salary is cut off till he is 4
perfectly well again. Tho passion
ate zeal with which the regulars goa
to work to get his majesty back
whore their salaries will lbogin again
is said to be something astounding.
The result is that tho emperor is
about the healthiest ma, standing on
this planet, and his physicians seldom
loose days salary.
With us unfortunately, our@inter-
csts and those Of our physicians are
diamctrically opposed, Were the
latter to act on purely business
principles, and adopt the well worn
motto that "busincss is business,"'5 g

A Voice from the Tugaloo.
TUGALoo HOME, S. c.,
July 8, 1899.

(. DEAR COURIER: As the sun be-
gins to rccedc from the zenith, the
birds begin to sing lazyly in tho
leafy dells, the air is oppressive, the
sky is o'ercast with azure hue, the
July fly, the katydid, etc, all seem
to indicate the cheated term" Yes
tcrday and to-day, after so much
rain, were genuine summer days, pc
culiar to July, glowing and growing.
Washing rains from Sunday till
Thursday have becn'very trying on
land and crops. Still, the prospect
never was better for corn, both bot
tom and upland. The stalk is very
large. Cotton is late, but July and
August have more to do in deter
mining the cotton yield than all the
balance of the year. So there is a
chance for cotton yet. Considcra-
bic damage has been done to low
lands on creeks and branches by the
late rains. The river rose about
eight feet. There was some damage
done thereby.
The peach crop is cxhorbitant;
trees arc breaking down. 1t would
be well to prop up the limbs and as
they ripcn, can and dry. The peach
crop does not hit often as it has this
year. Ponologists may be proud of
his success in the June peach, as an
acquisition to fruit culture, so won
dcrfully proved this season. But
one thing the farmer may be assured:
he win get nothing satisfactory by
planting the seed of the June peach.
Like does not produce like.
The honey crop is unusually fine
in quality and quantity. Honey is
as susceptible of classification as
cotton. Honey just at this time is
very fine favored. The care of bees
is both lucrative and pleasant.
Somebody says:
'IIc who would live at case
Should cultivate both fruit and bees;
Much labor though the first demands,

a man may push q whcclbarrow

Pushing depends upon the one who
pushes, and tho way the pushing is
done, and the object aimed at. Push

whether we push the mulish man or

school board. A story more than
two thousand years old of poor
fellow who couldn't make his mule
go by pushing him, SO he tied bun
die of hay to the end of stick and
fastened it to the mules back so that
it was just beyond the reach Of his

THE CLEMSON WILL CASE.
Chief Justice ruller's Official op,-
niOn.

Chief Justice Puller's Official 0pi-
niOn.
The long expected opinion of
Chief Justice Fuller in the Clemson
case was filed in the United States
Circuit Court yesterday. This case,
which is legally known as the case
Of Isabella Lee, by her next friend,
Gideon Lee ys. Richard w Simp-
son, was heard OH the 18th of May,
last, before Chief Justice Fuller,
Circuit Judge Bond and District
Judge Simonton. The case came up
on a bill Of complaint, fled Novem-
Der 26, 1888, asserting title in tho
complainant, Miss Lee, to the pro-
perty bcqucathed to the State, and
asking decree to that effect, and
that the defendant, Mr.. Simpson,
held tho legal title IN trust for ..er,
for injunction and accounting.
| Immediately after hearing the
case Chief Justice Fuller decided in
favor of the defendant and issued am
order dismissing the complaint, pro-
missing to file an opinion later. 1t is
understood that the complainants
will carry the case to the Supreme
Court OH appeal from the decision of
the Circuit Court, but have been
waiting for tho opinion Of Mr.. Eul-
Ter before making motion of ap-
peal.
The opinion of Chief Justice Full
lcr was evidently prepared with
great care. After reviewing the
facts he gives the following conclu-
sions:
THE OPINION.
Fuller, @. j. In respect to iuris-
diction, we arc satisfied with the con
clusions reached by the District
Judge when this cause came up on
demurrer, and do not consider it ne
ccssary to add anything to the views
then expressed. Lee VS.. Simpson,
81 Fed. Rep, 12.
The main question for detcrmina-
ton is, then, when the property
passed by the will of Mrs. Clemson
as in due execution of the power
|
under the will and codicil Of Mrs.
Floridc Calhoun. BY. that will and
codicil three fonrths of the testa-
triX's interest in the bond and mort
gage of A. p. Calhoun was bequeath-
cd to Mrs. Clemson for her sole and
separate use during her life, tho lc-
gal title being vested in a trustee, to
be disposed of, and the proceeds in
vested as she may direct, but to be
held in like trust, with power in her
to change her trustee as she might
desire, and she was also authorized
and empowered to dispose of said
bcquest by will as she pleased, what
