DER IL, when one remembers the
pains taken by the learned counsel
to mystify juries, that so many SEN
sible verdiots are obtained. Here are
some cases which do not chow trial
by jury in the brightest light:
A provision dealer prosecuted a
man for stealing a piece of bacon
out of his chop. The evidence was
simple and undisputed. The prose-
cutor, sitting in a little back parlor
with a glass door, saw the thief
walk up to the counter, pick up the
bacon and put it in his pocket.
"You saw me through the glass,
did you'" asked the prisoner.
YES" said the plaintiff.
"Well, then, I must be let off.
You can't swear through glass;"
The judge, of course, made light
of this strange defense, but the jury
took the prisoners view and acquit-
ted him. =
Baron Anderson once tried a civil
action, in which the plaintiff had
had his ribs broken and his skull
fractured by the defendant. The
facts were not disputed It was only
a question of damages, and the jury
awarded the plaintiff 81. 49,.
go home" exclaimed the judge
savagely, "and as you value ribs at
81 I hope you will get some liberal
purchasers for your own on the
Journey"
At Winchester in 1856 the same
judge tried some poachers. 1t was
noticed that the defending counsel,
the recorder of Portsmouth, chal-
lenged a great many of the panel,
so that the jury was very slowly
constituted. There was no question
as to the evidence. The men ought
to have been convicted without a
moments hesitation. The jury,
however, acquitted them.
"You see," said one of the jurors
afterward, 1--WE are all Portsmouth
men, and our recorder said one
thing and the other old Judge on the
bench, said another, and we thought
our recorder was most likely to be
right, 60 we let the men of. -

JURlEs AND THE:lRvE:RlDIliItc:;T1i;sl,S.

In Former Times Agreensnt Wass Com

It used to be thepracticeto starys
~disagreeing jurymen into .sgres;.
ment. At the .conclusionpf 1ca1S
the Jurors were locked up NithoGt
fire, light or food, and thus they
had to remain until they decided
upon a verdict Once upon a time
it was discovered that a jury go
locked up had refreshed themselves
with some apples which one Of their
number brought in his pockets. The
Judge severely rated them on their
misconduct and fined them 10 shil-
lings each. In the reign of Henry
VIII, Lord Chief Justice Reed, pre-
siding at London city sessions, had
to punish a jury for the same hei:
nous ofense of taking refreshment
before their verdict had been deliv-
cred. The circumstances were Pc
culiar and afforded an interesting
glimpse Of the manners of the time.
The jurors, on a motion made on
their behalf to set aside the fine,
pleaded that it was the Judge who
was to blame and not they. They
said that they returned into court
with their verdict after a reasona-
BILE amount of deliberation, but they
found that his lordship had gone
out to see an affray, Thew there
fore returned to their room to await
his return and thought they were
doing no wrong in taking a little
lunch. The fine was upheld.
Many and diverting are the stories
told by smart lawyers of poor be-
logged jurors. That jurors do some
times aek very idiotio questions and
return very foolish verdicts every
one with the slightest knowledge Of
the interior of a court of justice
must admit, but we must not blame
the honest man too much. The de-
bilitating effects of a long wrangle
between Tweedledum, Q. c., and
Tweedledee, 9. O., followed by a
pompous, abstruse harangue from
MIR. Justice Bumptious, should be
taken into consideration. The won

ooh, | can't do anything, |
haven't any money; let those who
make money out of this business
supply the cash" This is an old,
selfish and unreasonable view to
take of this or any other mat ter
that effects the vital interests Of
the business and prosperity Of
your community; for any move
or project that IS of general good
must help you as an individual.
What can not be done lndividu-

most largely interested in this
matter. Let these men head the
list and every property owner fol-
low, go out and get subscribers,
begin the work at once and inside
of ninety days this ASSOCIATION
can have between $4,000 and $4,000
with which to buy tobacco grown
this season and ready for the cur
ing house. We have the curing
houses; we have the men who are
experts in curing the tobacco
and by this process there is not a
possibility Of any contributor los

viii We Sit Idly BY and Let
Prosperity Pass


We are aware that war and ru-
morS Of war are absorbing the
interest Of our people, but let
time settle that eXacting~ ques-
ton, which il Will, and give free
dom 20 the struggling Cubans.
That which should interest every
citizen of Ocala and Marion cOun-
ty and ptrmeate every fiber Of
their being IS, how can [ promote
the best material interests Of this
people and community: We talk
about money and hard tunes and
speculate voIubly AID copiously
in Thought, in word, in gesture
and in dreams. Here 90 out of
every 100 OF Us stop, sigh aud
mo N, and in sheer desperation
turn upon our government, its
laws and the way our public
business is conducted, and lay all
the blame there. We are fell CT
reform ideas but we neglect the
very essential of all reformers,
the capabillty to inspect, size up
aud plss Judgment on our own
acts, which arc want Of co-Opera-
tion IN local affairs, which will
give work and, in time, money to
those who will join III the indus
try. This industry is tobacco
growing. 1t is admitted that 1t
is no longer an experiment.. The
past season has demonstrated
this fact. For evidence, see the
Establishments Of Messrs. AIedero
and Martin, and what they con-
tain il cured product, which will
shortly be ready for market. We
understand the objection of many
OF our growers. They are va
rious. The largest and most
general is that the growing Of
the plant is too eXactlng. Then
they don't get enough money for
1t when grown, and then many
say that they can't sell it when
grown. The last reason is not a
valid one, for during the past sea-
son all tobacco offered was taken
and paid for. True, not every
grower got "his'' price, bat then
III these cases quality determined
that question. Unfortunately,
too many Of our growers grew
indifferent ana the result was
that the price corresponded with
the kind. The great trouble is,
we are too impatient, we expect
too much and don't apply our en-
ergy properly.
Another season is upon Us.
What shall the harvest be: just
what we shall make it. From all
oyer the country come requests
to the two parties in Ocala, who,
during the past season, paid out
over $4,000 in cash FOR the tobac-
co offered, asking if they, the
farmers, grew it, could they find
a market for 1t.
Here comes the rub. Those in
the business have invested their
spare cash and the crop still re-
mains in their curing houses not
yet aged enough for the manufac-
turer's-use. These men are as
confident OF the quality of their
goods and their ability to sell it
at a good price when the proper
time comes as they are that they
breathe. But they need capital
to maintain and enlarge this
promising product and cash
money crop. To encourage out
side capital to come in We must
go forward with our efforts and
assistance. Will the p5oplc of
Ocala take 4 hand in this matter
AMI, by helping the promoters OF
the tobacco Industry, help them
