New ORLEANS, June l5.-In the
court Of appeals Judge Ogden has
rendered the following decision:
"Carl A. Sampson vs. Plant &
Co. Sampson Is known as the strong
man and was employed by o. Fl.
Schonhausen representing Plant q
Co., to give exhibitions at their
theatre, at a weekly salary Of $500,
for four weeks, Sampson afterwards
sued the firm for breach Of contract
because Plant & Co. had refused
him admission to the theatre after
he had said that the Eden theatre
was disreputable place and that
he was not going to perform there.
The court holds that there was no
evidence that Sampson had SAID
this before he had been refused adj
mission, and that he is therefore,
entitled to the full amount agreed
on, and orders the judgment Of the
lower court reversed and judgment
for Sampson for the full sum Of
1900 with all COSTS"

is fit for the best lumber pile. II
is from the sound middle ranks OF
society that the timber is taken

There are more points to be gained

Society always recognizes the

This discussion has developed

you. Being responsible in large

I favor and will aid in engrafting any
article that will forever prohibit sa,
looms from opening in South Carolina,
but do not let us tie our hands by this
measure, which change of sentiment
may prove to be unwise or which an
averse decision of the courts may show
to be suicidal.
I am forever opposed to the open,
licensed bar-room, but the people can
not afford 10 support a constabulary
to enforce prohibition, and should the
Supreme Court decide against US, we
would be forced to prohibition, and

free wh1skey practically. Much has
been said about here farmer lawyers, so
I move that this debate be adjourned
till tomorrow to allow us farmer law
yers and the legal lawyers to get to-
gether and see if we cannot formulate
a section that will forever close the
bar-rooms in this State to individual
license, but at the same time not force
a possible alternative of prohibition or
free whiskey.

The Corn Crop.

This is apparently to be the greatest
corn year ever known, and the season
is now so far advanced, according to
a contemporary, as to reduce the
chances of disaster to minium. In
1891 we raised the greatest corn crop
ever grown, but we are going to rem
der it insignificant this year. In 1891
corn covered 76,204, 900 acres and
yielded an average of twenty seven
bushels to the acre. This year the corn
fields amount to S2,3O4,0OO acres, or
6, 1000, 900 more than in 1891, and all
reports indicate larger yield per acre
than in that year. But at the same
average yield the crop will amount to
| 2, ,222, POS, ,O00-two billion, two hund-
red and twenty-five million two hun
dred and eight thousand bushels. Corn
is worth about fifty ce1ts bushel, not
only in the markets, but in feeding
hogs. This crop will therefore add
81, Ill, 1O4, 900 to'the country's wealth:
Think of it, More than a billion dol
lars of actual wealth produced in a
single year in the shape of a single
crop.

present except Messrs. Stackhouse and
Norris. The main object of the meet
ing was to hear the report of the in

ton of Williams Welch was accepted.
The report which the committee sub
mitted was not given out for publica-
ton.
The board was asked if they had
anything to give out in reference to
the work of the committee.
"Yes," was the reply, 1--WE wish to
say in the first place that under the
circumstances it was unfortunate that
the word investigation" was used,
for the committee really was appointed
more for the purpose of inspection in
order tc satisfy the board that the de-
partments were working together har.
moniously. 1t will be remembered
that the committee was appointed
prior to the appearance of certain
newspaper criticisms. While the com.
mittee was not charged with that
work, it did give especial investigation
to the departments criticised, namely,
agriculture and mechanics. They
found that while much remains to be
done before they are completely
equipped and developed they are pro:
crossing in such way as to meet all
reasonable expectations. We are glad
to state further that most of the re-
Communications of the committee were

thereof are now so arranged and CO.
ordinated as to insure, we believe,
good and efficient work in the future.

each other2 Cannot we forget that
our families are enemies, and by joiH-

The young man grew eloquent in
his earnestness, and yet the girl said
no word nor gave him even a-glance.
Surely this was the day of triumph for
her when she saw the hereditary enemy
begging favor at her hands, and tri-
umph was in her heart, but not of the
sort that the warrior feels when his
enemy lies vanquished before him. 1t
was the triumph that caused the maid

which seem to be quite silly when put
