AN INTERESTING CASE
Judge Martins Charge in Case of
&C. Smith VS.. C. G 0. Ry. Co.
This is the Case Where Mr.. H. Garrett
Smith Was Removed From the Saloon
Deck of tho Louise Because He Wore
No Coat.

The case of II. Garrett Smith vs. the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany for damages on account OF the
rcno' al of said Smith from the saloon
deck of the said defendants steamer
Louise on account OF plaintiff appear
Ing there without coat on, has
aroused such general interest that the
Nirginian-Pilot to-day gives its read
ers the charge of Judge w. B. Martin
that the jury returned verdict for
the defendant.
The charge was as follows:
THE CHARGE
The court instructs the jury that
rule made by company operating
steamboat, or captain of its boat, that
a passenger in his shirt sleeves, and
without his coat. shall not occupy the
saloon deck of the boat where ladies'
were. Or were allowed. is reasonable
rule. and II they believe that the plain
tiff was on said saloon deck in his
shirt sleeves, and without coat, then
the company, or It's agents. had the
right to require him to leave said
deck and go to another part of the
and II he refused to go. to use such
force as was necessary to effect his
removal; but no more force should
have been used than was so neces
SGry, and he cannot recover damages
for such removal If no unnecessary
force was used. and he was removed
in a proper manner.
The court instructs the jury that If
they find for the plaintiff in coming at
the damages they may take into con-
Sidcration the manner in which he was
removed from the upper deck. and If
they believe from the evidence that
more force was used in removing him
than vas necessary. or that he was
subjected to insult in such removal.
then he is entitled TO such damages as
he may have suffered from the use of
such unnecessary force or from such
insult. and he is also entitled to any
damages he suffered for being re-
quired to remain in the part
of the steamer assigned to sec
ond- class passengers. IL the jury be-
lieve he was compelled to remain in
that part of said steamer on his re-
turn trip.
The court instructs the jury that q
common carrier has no right. after q
passenger has purchased a ticket call
ing for n flrst-class passage, to compel
said passenger to travel on the part of
n boat where passengers who have
second class tickets are assigned; and
If they believe from the evidence that
sale defendant compelled said plain
tin to occupy that part of the boat
that was assigned to second-class pas
scngers. said action was unlawful and
said defendant is liable for any dam
age done the plaintiff thereby.

General Assembly shall levy taxation for
4 general system OF public schools which
shall be free to all the children OF the
State of school age. Section 3 of tins
article provides that: Each county or
the State shall be divided into a conven-
lent number of districts in which one or
more public schools shall be maintained
at least four months in every year; and
If the commissioners of any county shall
fail to comply with the aforesaid require
nnents Of this section they shall be llaDi2
TO Indictment" These are the provisions
in our Constitution and they are direct
and mandatory in their terms. The lay
man would assume and the nOn-reSl-
dent who reads these words would infer
that the children of every locality, no
matter how remote or how SparSely set
tied would have the opportunity OF at
tending a school for at least four months
in each calendar year. However, II is
my duty to tell you that this mandatory
requirement has been practically ellml-
mated by the construction OF our courts
and that they have deliberately limited
the power Of taxation to objects lnflnlte-
" less worthy of this supreme power of
the State. Our courts have said that the
commissioner Of counties could not be

ceeded a rate of &c 2-3 cents on the hun

the poll as provided in article 3, section
l. They have nullified a mandatory pro-
vision of the Constitution in favor OF the

placed the dollar above brains and sell

2. it is provided, 1T shall be the duty
of commissioners to exercise a general
supervision and control of the penal ana
charitable institutions, schools. roaus
and BRIDGES" The courts have held that
the LEGISLATURE might authorize the
county To lew a special tax over and
above the constitutional limitation for
the purpose of building a jail or OF con-
structing an aims house or roads, or
bridges or for court houses or LOT lhe

of the substantial blessings of educa-
