Our farmers are making good
use of their time these pretty
days. They are busy preparing
and planting. Not much corn
will be planted until the cotton
crop is put in, however, nearly
every farm has few acres of
early planted corn. Small grain
seems to be very backward and
makes but little show. Very few
fields are covered with green
mantle of growing grain.
Cherry trees and plum trees
have an abundance of blooms and
indicate good crops of these small
fruits. No peach blooms and not
many apple and pear, and it is
thought by many there will be
very light strawberry and black
berry crop. This will interfere
very much with "Sambo's" lien.
The black berry crop saves him
couple months rations and he
grows fat in the meantime.

Attorneys Costs.

The question of attorneys costs
was raised before Judge Gary
last Thursday in an interesting
argument and with a result that
will prove interesting all over the
state.
The issue was between G.. E.
Spencer, Esq, and j. S. Brice,
Esq, over the question as to
whether plaintiffs counsel was
entitled to taxed cost amounting
to some $2S in the case of the
foreclosure of a mortgage, execu-
ted in 1886.
The matter was first heard be
fore JOS. f. Wallace, Esq, who
was at the time acting as clerk of
the court. 1t was the general
impression among lawyers all
over the state, that as the result
of certain changes in the law, at
torneys were entitled to costs,
especially in the case of liquidated
contracts, such as mortgages, etc.
Upon hearing argument Mr..
Wallace decided in favor of Mr..
Brlce, and Mr.. Spencer appealed
to the circuit court.
In introducing the case, Mr..
Spencer stated that it was merely
question of costs on all existing
liquidated contract. Judge Gary
at once indicated that, of course,
costs would be allowed; but at
the same time offered to listen to
MIR. Brice.
Mr.. Brice stated that previous
1892 attorneys costs were allowed
in all cases; but in 1892 the leg
islature passed an act ropealing all
acts relating to attorneys costs.
To this act there was a proviso
to the effect that it should not ap-
ply to cases then psnding or to
existing llquidated contracts. The
act was SO stated IN section 2552
of the code, and in 1897 there
was passed another act which re-
pealed section 1852.
1t was here that the generally
erroneous impression with regard
to costs arose. The real object
of repeating the section referred
to was to restore costs, and there
seems to have been no doubt of
the fact that costs we.e stlii al
lowed especially in the case of
pending suits and existing liqui-
dated cor tracts. Mr.. Brice, how
ever, called attention to the act
which provides that the repeal
of a repeating act does not revive
acts that the repeating act had re-
pealed, and that, therefore, there
Is not now on the statute books
anything whatever relating to
costs. Consequently there can
be no costs.
BY the time Mr.. Brice got
through with his argument, Judge
Gary had been won over COM
pletely, and nothing that Mr..
Spencer or Mr.. G. ". S. Hart,
who also joined in the argument,
could say, was sufficient to carry
him back to his original position.
The question will, in all probabili-
ty, be taken to the supreme court.
