Seer nd Week OF Circuit Court.

The second week of the spring
/ term Of circuit court convened
at the Court House last Monday
morning at nine o clock. The civil
docket was taken up and as IN
der this division came the trial
of thesrailroad cases there was a
large attendance at court. per-
sons who were interested in liti-
CATION. The petit juries for the
week were drawn and are as fol-
lows:
Jury No. ID. J. Sanders, r.
w. Christopher, w. B. Vaughan,
G. FL Robertson, w. 2. Mahon,
III. H. Nash. S. l.. Howard. G. NJ
Fulenwider, w. L. Ellis, Jr., J.

Jury No. 2W. T. Ellis, Lowry

Stewart, d. r. CASTOR, 6. F.
Perkins, t. w. Townsend, G. G.

liams, w. d. Phillips.
According to announcement
the civil docket was taken up and
this introduced the cases against
the Southern Railway for dam
ages resulting in the Berry
wreck. A larger mum Der of them
have been compromised and set
tied but there were several death
claims pending which could not
be adjusted. The trial of these
cases precipitated a stubborn
legal fight. By common consent
the cases involving death claims
were demurred to on the part of
the company on the ground of
non Jurisdiction and the de-
murrer consumed Monday in its
argument. The railroad S side
of the case was presented by
Hon. t. @. Catchings, of Vicks-
burg, Miss, general counsel for
the Southern in Mississippi, while
Col. E. Il. Sykes and Judge j. A.
Orr appeared for the claimants.
The railroads took the position
that as the wreck occurred in
Alabama the railroads were pun
ishable under a penal statute
which was not enfOrcible in this
State, the claimants contending
that the statue was punitive and
the cases could be properly tried
here. Judge Sykes took the
matter under adviSement until
yesterday morning when hoover
ruled the demurrer and the cases
went to trial The railroad is
represented by quite a formida-
BILE array of legal talent in the
trial of these cases. Among those
who are here to look after the in
terest of the road are Hon. Il. G.
Catchings, of Vicksburg, general
counsel for the com pany in Mis-
sissippi; Hon. Fuller Fox, of West
Point, Miss, assistant general
counsel; j. T. Wiley, law agent
from Birmingham and Messrs.
Walter Kennedy of Atlanta, and
Oscar Fulgham, of Selma, Ala.
After Judge Sykes rendered
his opinion in the demurrer the
attorneys for the railroad com
pany asked for some time for
consultation and Judge Sykes
adjourned court until after din
ner. At that time court recon
vened and a number of cases
against the railroad were com
promised and the formal order
made on the docket clearing it
Of them. About thirty cases
were compromised involving
amounts ranging from $500 to
$4,000. There is little more
business on the docket and court
will be com pleted this week.

Spring Ailments.

There is an aching and tired feel
ing; the liver, bowels and kidneys be-
come sluggish and inactive, the di-
gestion impaired with little or no APP
petite, no ambition for anything and
a tired feeling that the whole body
and mind needs toning up. The trou-
BILE is, that during the winter, there
has been an ccumlulation of waste
matter in the system. Herbine viii re-
move it, secure to the secretion right
exit, and by its tonic effect, fully re-
store the wasted tissues and give
strength in place of weakness. SOC at
