COURT BAN ON SPELLING.
Chief Justice Fuller Objects to
"Thru" In q Quotation.

The United States supreme court
has gone against the simplifed SPELL
ing system, and the indications after
the first round are that the simplified
spelling system is leaning against the
ropes, groggy, says Washington spe-
cial to the New York Times. The su-
preme court always does those things
in a fine and delicate way, without
any shedding Of blood or mussing up
of scenery, so that 1t sometimes takes
the victim a day or two to ascertain
that he is really down and out.
It happened while the case of Dali
cour against the United States was un-
der consideration. Solicitor General
Hoyt was presenting the governments
side. and he was reading from brief
which was fairly studded with such
words as "dropt" and fantasy" and
"kist" Chief Justice, with a copy Of
the brief in hand, followed the read
ing gravely. He read thru" and
"thruout' and "fantom" and "fixt"
and not a single expression fitted
across his face.
Presently the brief arrived at a
long quotation from a decision rem
dered some years ago by Justice Brad
ley. The simplified word that Mr..
Hoyt met in his reading from this was
thru" Hardly was the word out Of
his mouth before the chief justice
stopped him.
rs this" said the chief justice, in
the tone of gentle, suave inquiry
which puts experienced counsel on
guard, supposed to be a quotation
from Justice Bradley's official opin-
ion?" 20
Mr.. Hoyt looked up, startled. He
hurriedly scanned the quotation to see
what was wrong, and his eye lighted
on the word he had just read. He
flushed and fidgeted.
Yes, sir: in all except the SPELL
ing" he blushingly replied.
"Ah-h-h-h-h!" replied the chief
justice, with a long, rolling infection,
inserting five his in a word that is
supposed to have only one.
The rest Of the justices grinned,
and so did everybody else in the court
room. Mr.. Hoyt discerned the dam
ger signal and hurriedly jumped off
the track.
Hereafter" he said, II will see to
1t that nothing Of this kind occurs.
While we follow the presidents order
in preparing original briefs, l do not
feel that we are justified in changing
the orthography of judicial opinions,
and I will see that 1t does not happen
again."
So ended the first round, and the
memory Of Justice Bradley was pro-
tected. The next round is awaited
with interest.

Vital Importance is attached by the

peace with our neighbors and the

 R. Abramson bought the Farmers Union Cotton at Clarendon last week 448 bales. Mir. A. is the champion cotton buyer of Monroe county. He, is one of the leading merchants of H.

A. paid for tEe cotton but the ten days of wind and rain that followed this big deal caused the price of cotton to advance rapidly
