self, we would like to ask whether, in
damage suits against the city Of Phila-
delphia the jurors are taken from Della
ware or Chester counties because the
citizens of Philadelphia cannot render
justice in a case in which their own
municipal corporation is the plaintiff or
defendant
Are the jurors drawn TO pass upon
the merits of suits affecting New York,
Boston, Baltimore and other munich
pal corporations selected from the su-
burban or rural sections surrounding
those cities because just verdcts can
not be secured at the hands of stock
holders in the municipal corporations"
We are, sure that they are not. They
are drawn from the people of the cit
les. From the vast multitude Of stock
holders in the municipal corporations, -
and a reading OF the court reports will
convince anyone that they are fully ca
pable of rendering verdicts against
themselves when the evidence in the
cases justifies It, Many of these YER
diets are largely in excess Of any we
have here.
This being true, what possible reason
can there be for assuming that a VIII
mingtonian cannot render just as faii
and impartial a verdict in case in
volving his municipal corporation, as
can a Philadelphian or "stockholder'
in any other municipal corporation.
The present system of exclusion i.
unjust. 1t is a reflection upon the hon.
esty and intelligence of our people anc
should no longer be maintained tC
serve the mercenary ends of lawyers
who regard the public treasury as Z
place in which they have a fifty pei
cent. contingent fee interest at al
times and who are ready TO make a raiC
upon the funds whenever they are for
tunate enough to find some one VIII,
can supply them with even the shadow
of a case.
Justice is oftener defeated by skilfu
challenges, personal or political ac
quaintanceship and cross-questioning
artistic twisting of fact and impassion
ed eloquence inspired by filthy lucr
than it is by the presence of stock
holders in the municipal corporation
in the jury box.

No man wields n more abusive pen
than Washington Hastings. His pub
lie letters are always filed with per-
sonalities and most rabid and rancid
opinions. George w. Roberts, Of the
State Sentinel, represents, in his small
and modest way a political faction
that is hateful to Mr.. Hastings and
General Grants dimunitive has always
made it a point to deal with the Ad-
dicks faction with utter disregard for
personal and political courtesy. But
he is one Of those men who can give
personal abuse without stint and with
out wishing for, or tolerating any re-
turn. The court showed it's wisdom in
not placing too high a value on the in
jured feelings Of Mr.. Hastings. If th'
nasty things that Mr. Hastings has saiC
about the Addicks people are PLACED
side by side with the nasty things th'
Addicks people have said about Mr.
Hastings, it would be difficult to decid
where to place to the Disadvantage tn

Mr.. Will A. Jones, formerly of this

Reading, Miss, was returning to Co.
lumbia on a freight train Saturday
night, and at CulleOka was run over
and horribly mangled. He was
brought here and taken to the home
of his father-in-law, Mr.. Alexander
Russell, where he died at o'clock
Sunday morning, living about two
hours after reaching here. He was
81 years of age, having been married
about one year. He sent his wife
here few days ago, she having
reached her fathers home on last
Friday evening at O'Clock. He
preferred to come through on a
freight, and after having travelled
about 400 miles and when almost in
talking distance of his loved one,
met his terrible end. His funeral
was preached Monday evening from
the residence at O'Clock by Rev. +.
B. Webb, after which he was laid to
rest in Greenwood Cemetery. He
leaves a wife, and one brother, who
lives in Nashville. We extend to
the bereaved ones our heartfelt sym
pathy in this sad and trying hour.

nothing else on Sundays but wait on

trains as they pass. TRAMP.

Maury County Teachers.

The Maury County teachers held their
regular meeting Saturday, March 9th.
A large number of the teachers were
present, although the morning was
quite disagreeable.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Mr.. Osteen, after which the minutes
of the February meeting were read and
approved.
1t was thought best, for good reasons,
to defer Prof. DodsOn's talk on "Pri-
mary Arithmetic" until the April meet
ing. In the absence of Mr.. Fielden, the
class in Tennessee History was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Godfrey. Mr.. Dining
then gave many valuable points in his
talk on Sidney Lanier's rank as poet.
After the paper on the "Life of Ian
ier," by Mr.. Godfrey, the meeting was
then opened for new or miscellaneous
business. The principal subject dis
cussed was the Summer Institute work.
None Of the committee on this special
work being present, the executive COM
mittee was authorized to decide and ar
range the matter.
1t was thought best, however, to
make no definite plans as to conducting
the institute until after a called meet
ing of the executive committee.
The following propositions passed the
vote of those present:
Resolved, |. That the institute begin
June l4th, and continue one week.
Resolved, 2. That we employ one
good man as conductor and as many
popular lecturers as possible.
Resolved, s. That we secure teacher
of vocal music if practicable.
The following is the programme for
the April meeting:
"History of New Orleans" Mr.. Shoup

Mr.. Hogan.

A haDpy Mother.

much interest to many friends of
the interested parties:
There is "new,woman" in town.
She arrived yesterday morning
shortly before I o'clock, and has
been given the titles of 1.-The Daugh-
ter of the PEABODY" and peabody
Girl"
When it became known at the
Peabody Institute that the "Daugh-
ter of Peabody" was in the city,
there was a great rush of callers,
but to them she denied herself-for
she is, after all, only a wee little
daughter that was born to Mr.. and
Mrs. Asger Hamerik, of the Pea
body Institute, and thinks, with
commendable modesty, that very
young ladies should not receive
company.
Mr.. Hamerik received many hear
ty congratulations at the institute
from his associates, and many cor
dial words of welcome were sent
through him to 1.-The Peabody Girl, y
who is doing finely, as is her mother
at their home, lT30, st. Paul street.
AS composer Mr.. Hamerik has
achieved considerable fame. He
was married about two years ago tC
Mrs. Hamerik, who was Miss Mar
garet Williams, of Tennessee, and
who is a graduate of the Peabody
Institute"
Miss Margaret Williams, now

Maury Countian and is a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas H. Viii
