ARGUMENTS AT AMER1cUs.
At Least Two Days More To Be Con-
sumed in Speeohmaking.

sumeo In Speeohmak1ng.
Americas, Ca, Jan. 29-When court
convened this morning, Judge Fort re-
sumed his argument for the de-
Tense in the Hinkle case. He
concluded at IL O'Clock, having spoken
in all four hours. 1t was very able eff
fort, showing his perfect study of the
law and evidence in the case. When he
concluded, he was heartily congratulated
by his associate counsel and friends.
He was followed by Col. Little, also for
the defense. He had spoken two hours
when court adjourned at O'Clock for din
ner. He did not conclude until 5 O'Clock,
having spoken nearly five hours 1t was
probably his first speech before a jury in
this county, and is by all admitted to be
one of the most logical and convincing ar
guments ever delivered in the hearing of
our people. During the delivery of both
speeches the courthouse was completely
filed, nearly half being ladies.
Solicitor Hudson will begin his speech
for the prosecution when court meets in
the morning. He will hardly conclude
before noon. He will be followed by Judge
Twiggs for the defense. 1t will certainly
be Wednesday before Mr. Berner will get
the ear of the jury in the concluding
speech in the case. Much is expected OF
him by the friends of DIR. Worsham. He
Is expected to speak at least six hours.

A Sermon Cut Up With Yank zee
Doodle, Dixie and God Save the Queen.
Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 29.-Rev. T. j.
Shelton, of this city, has introduced a
new feature in preaching. 1t is the art of
making the organist do the praying and
the principal part of the preaching
Rev. Shelton was for many years
recognized as one Of the ablest pulpit
orators in the state, and was for years
pastor Of the First Christian church, of
this ciUy. He has for some time past,
been preaching to an independent congre-
CATION, and last night created a sensa-
ton in his church. His text was
THE Law of Vibrations, or How Jesus
Healed the Sick" After reading part
Of the gospel of st. John, he caused a
ripple of establishment by announcing that
the organist would pray, while each mem
Der of the congregation would pray in
their own way.
STRIKING ILLUSTRATIONS.
He illustrated the law Of vibration as a
universal principle controlling all human
movements I'm the struggle of America
for independence our fathers had to
contend against Great Britain, (the
organist played God Save the
Queen") 1t is such vibrations as
these our fathers had to meet, ~

to---'Yankee Doodle" 1t was played

Illustrated "the late unpleasantness" by
calling for Dixie" AS the organ notes
of this air vibrated through the hall
everybody was delighted. Here the
preacher made telling stroke by throw
ing in discord by saying
THE south was defeated because
Yankee Doodle was ON the other side -
He then called for another strain of
Yankee Doodle" and clashed the two
together, aud said, "'Yankee Doodle
represents human liberty, and Dixie
was the champion of human slavery" AT
this point several gentlemen left the hall,
to any more of this stuff"
At the close of the sermon the organist

RAZOR BACK LAWYERS.
Fulton County's Grand Jury After the
Sharks ofthe Bar.

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 29.-The Fulton
county grand jury created lively sensa-
ton to-day by scoring the razor back''
lawyers without gloves, calling them
blackmailers, and calling upon the courts
to protect the public from them, since
they are here, and to squelch them
Just as quickly as can be. without
casting any reflection on the bar Of
Atlanta" say the grand jurors, for no
community can boast Of brighter GALAXY
of honorable and able attorneys; yet, If
the many complaints Of our business COM
munity are TO be needed, there are some
whose practice and conduct should be
discontinued. AS the representatives of
the people, we most respectfully call upon
the judges Of our courts and the bar Of
Atlanta TO protect the community from
the evil effects of the practices of this
class.
HUNTERS AFTER CASES.
owe would call to notice a certain class
Of lawyers always on the hunt for cases.
They bring suit in cases where they them
selves ought TO know there is neither
merit nor justice, and bring business men
into court aud run them to the expense
Of employing an attorney with the hope
Of forcing a compromise and consequently
getting fee. II is blackmail pure and
simple, and SHOULD be put down. Suits
for damages against corporations have
assumed a chronic epidemic form in our
county. So grievous has the evil become
that TO it is attributed the wrecking of
some of the street railways
and many other corporations. Our
people seem to have conceived the
idea that corporation is not entitled to
the same protection under the law accor-
ded to an individual"
THE COURTS ALSO TAKEN TO TASK.
While humping the individual of
this razor back lawyer" the grand Jury
also strikes at the policy of the courts in
encouraging them by giving them a share
of the commercial costs TO the receiver.
From our information, we believe much
larger fees are generally allowed in such
cases than for the same labor and ability
in other litigation.
The grand jury says: eve can cite
case in point where a special master
received for few weeks work as much
compensation as the judge who appointed
the special master received for three
years Of continuous and laborious work
In the majority of cases, the estate is so
absorbed by expenses that creditors fail
to realize proper benefits. These creditors
being powerless, the law should
carefully protect their inter
ests. We respectfully suggest
that whenever in the opinion of our hon
orable judges it becomes necessary to ap-
point receivers, that men be selected with
a view TO their special fitness for the po-
sition. We hereby ask the members from
our county in the general assembly to in
troduce bill at the next session that
will afford less facilities for throwing
corporations into the hands of receivers. ="
