IF LAWYERS HAVE TEARS,
Then This Court Decides That They Have
Right to Shed Them.

The right Of counsel to shed tears before
the jury was recently decided by the Su-
preme Court of Tennessee in the case of
Ferguson VS.. Moon, which was case for
breach of promise. The court, speaking
through Judge Wilkes said:
at is assigned as error that counsel for
plaintiff in his closing argument, in the
midst of a very eloquent and impassioned
appeal to the jury, shed tears and thus I'M
duly excited the passions and sympathies
of the jury in favor of the plaintiff and
greatly prejudiced them against the de
PENDANT.
Bearing upon this assignment of error
we have been cited to no direct authority.
and after diligent search we have been able
to find none. The conduct of counsel in
presenting their cases to the juries is a
matter which must be left largely to the
ethics Of the profession and the discretion
of the trial Judge. Perhaps no two coun-
sci observe the same rules. Some deal
wholly in logic and legal argument, with
out any establishment whatever. Others
use rhetoric and occasional flights of fancy
and Imagination. Others rely upon noise
and gestculation, ealnestness CT manner
and vehemence of speech. Others appeal
to the prejudices, passion and sympathies
of the jury. Others combine all these
modes with various accomplishments of
different kinds
mo cast.iTon rule should be laid down
To do so would result that in many cases
clients would be deprived of the privilege
of being heard at all by the counsel Teas
have always been considered legitimate
arguments before the jury, and we know
of no power or jurisdiction in the trial
judge to check them. 1t would appear to
be one of the natural rights of counsel
which no statute or constitution could take
away. 1t is certainly matter of the high
est personal privilege. Indeed, if counsel
have tears to command, it may be seriously
questioned whether it is not professional
duty to shed them whenever proper occa-
sion arises, and the trial Judge would not
feel constrained to interfere unless they are
INDUCED in to such excess as to impede,
embarrass or delay the business before the
court.
"In this case the trial Judge was not
asked to check the tears and it was, we
think, very proper occasion for their use,
and we cannot reverse for this reason; but
for other errors indicated the judgement is
reversed and cause remanded for new
trial. ~ Case and Comment.

AN EVIDENT MISTAKE.

"I'm looking for man named Jones, "
he said as the door was opened to him by
woman almost six feet high, weighing
nearly POO pounds.
'Cy Jones?' she queried.
Eyes l think that is the man. Pm a
White Capper and have come to give him
warning"
whats Cy Jones been doing?"
Licking his wife, and he's got to stop
it or we'll take him out and switch him. "
"Did you ever see Cy Jones?" asked the
woman, after she drew herself up.
"Not that know of"
She went back to the sitting.room, was
gone moment, and when she returned she
was carrying a man about feet, 10 inches
long under her arm. She gave him twist
and put him on his feet and said:
''This is Cy Jones'"
"Your husband?" stammered the White
Capper.
"The same, and | am Cy Jones Wife"
'Great Scott! There must be mistake
here, madam"

she tossed the little man in her arms.
''Sorry to have disturbed you ma'am,
but you see"
dyes, see, and let me help you over
the fence"
And placing the little man carefully on
his feet she picked up the caller and tossed
him over the gate and went back to her
work in the kitchen.

1t is an excellent plan not to plant the
same kind OF crop on the same land two
years in succession, and this rule should
claimed to thrive best il grown on the same
soil every year, but it has been found that
disease and the maggot are the result of so
doing. New land is now used for onions
every years, especially if the soil was liber-
ally MANFRED the previous year for some
other crop, as fresh manure is not the best
for onions.

Two.year-old steers have made an in
crease of u pounds day, live weight,
when fed for five or six MONTHS and it has
been found that large profit can be made
from 2-year-old steers than to keep them
longer, as the daily increase of the animal
decreases as it becomes older 1t has been
found improbable to raise beef from scrub
stock, however, even under the most favor
able conditions Of feeding.

Hay and fodder are relished in summer,
when the cows are on grass, as they delight
in change of food at night after being on
the pasture all day. A little salt on the
hay will also be relished and prove bene-
fetal.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1897-04-24

1t matters not how the profit is made
provided it is secured The facility of
marketing the products largely governs the
matter, If the farmer can get better
price for his hay by shipping it from the
farm to the buyer than he can by having it
consumed on the farm by stock he should
do so, but he must not lose sight of the
fact that he must retain the fertility of the
farm while so doing. There are periods
when hay brings better prices than any
Other crop and enables the farmer to pur-
chase extra fertilizers. When selling the
hay be should make use of fodder and other
cheaper materials in manner to enable
him to sell as much of the higher-priccd
product as possible.

The loss to farmers every year by diseases
of animals is enormous Every farm should
be considered qnarantined by the owner;
that is, he should not purchase and bring
on his farm any animal, of any kind, that
he is uncertain in regard to its freedom
from disease. tuberculosis, abortion, hog
cholera, scab in sheep, roup in poultry and
other diseases do not appear spontaneously
There are always causes, one animal being
affected unknown to the farmer, and
spreads the disease among the others.

Cultivating a crop after it is growing
should be done ina manner not only to
afford the most benefit, but also to avoid
injury to the plants. When corn or pota-
toes are just appearing the roots do not
extend very far and the cultivatOr teeth
may go down deep, but when the roots OF
corn interplace through the surface OF the
soil the cultivation should be shallow in
order to avoid cutting them. There is an
implement known as the weeder, which
does excellent work on weeds when they
first appear above ground, and that is when
the greatest effort should be made to
destroy the pests. Weeds appear quickly
after rain and the cultivator should be
used to loosen the soil after every shower,
as the cultivating can then be done in the
most effective manner and at time when
the weed seeds have terminated. The hoe
should not be overlooked if all the weeds
are not destroyed by the cultivator, as every
weed that goes to seed makes more work
for next year.

Beets and carrots are hardy and should
be put IN as early as possible in order to
get the benefit of the spring rains and to
also allow as much time as possible for
growth, 50 as to begin using them before
summer is over. Later crops may also be
grown if desired.

Do not buy screenings as food, for in so

The best way to use screenings is to burn
them.
