TRIVIAL CASES IN COURT.
A Problem That is Worthy of Serious
Attention.

The right to sue and be sued is
guaranteed to every citizen, by both
the state and federal constitutions.
In fact we do not think that right
ought to be abridged.
But something ought to be done.
Too many cases are being brought
in our courts in which there is abso-
lutely no merit or excuse for going to
law.
Sometimes a lawyer may be deceiv-
ed by his client as to the business OF
a cause of action. We are disposed
10 believe this. We do not want to
believe that lawyers would otherwise
bring the meritless cases that some
times find their way into the courts.
Believing this, we also believe that
the lawyers ought to be a little more
careful in accepting cases. If this
thing of bringing trivial cases in the
courts continues it will result In bring
ing the courts and the legal profess
sion into disrepute.
1t may come to pass that the courts
will be regarded as the place where
people may strive to get injustice,
rather than justice. The man who
has a just cause of action may hesitate
about going into the courts with 1t.
For these trivial cases do most as
suredly injure the just cases. Take
Jurors who have been serving for
DAYS on trivial cases. They will get
thoroughly disgusted, and may not be
i'm a mood to render exact and i'm
partial justice If called to sit upon a
meritorious case. This Is fact an
inexorabte law of human nature.
We have thought that 1t might be
well to have a grand jury in civil
cases-that Is a board or committee
of reputable taxpayers to pass upon
each case in a preliminary way and
say if the case should be tried in the
courts.
This plan might not be practicable,
and we are not prepared to urge 1t.
But something ought to be done. The
courts are being called upon to spend
too much time on cases which should
never be brought to trial.-Anderson
Daily Mail.

Senator Overman some time ago in
troduced a bill authorizing the presi-
dent to appoint a commercial commits
sion to go to China and other foreign
countries to study the conditions, and
report how manufacturers OF this
country can extend their trade. The
commission, II appointed, would prob
ably go first to China. The members
of the commission will get something
like $4,000 to 81 900 salary, and it has
been suggested that Mr.. ]. L. McLaurin
of this state. should be chairman OF
the commission. The latest report Is
that the sub committee, which has the
Overman bill under consideration, has
agreed upon all the Items, and that
the bill will probably be reported IA
vorably. Mr.. Witham, the editor of
the American Cotton Manufacturer Of
Charlotte, is suggested as one of the
members of the commission from this
region. His familiarity with the cot
ton manufacturing business gives him
special fitness for the work Of such a
mmission.-Greenville News.

York court of sessions, has taken is
sue with District Attorney Jerome on
the question as to whether the diver
sion of the insurance funds for polit-
ical purposes constitutes a crime on
the part of the officers responsible.
The opinion arises out of connection
with the case of George w. Perkins.
former vice president of the New
York Life Insurance company, who
some time ago admitted having made
contributions of the cOmpany's money
to George b. Cortelyou, chairman
and Cornelius n. Bliss treasurer of
the Republican national committee
for campaign purposes. District At
torney Jerome told the grand jury
that such action on the part of the
insurance company did not cOnsti-
tute a crime; but according to the
instruction of Justice O'Sullivan 1t IS
altogether a matter of intent so far
as the insurance people are concerned
and the determination of the matter of
intent is not for the court; but for
the grand jury alone. If the grand
jury finds that the contributions in
question were made with the inten-
ton of depriving or defraudng the
true owner of his property. then there
should be an indictment for larceny.

FRUIT IN THE DIET.
Easily Digested, and Should Be
Used More Generally.

a(By Alice Merritt Director Dome st,c
lture.)
It Is a fact much to be regretted tbat
fruit does not occupy the place which It
should on Our tables. The nanv non,,.
lar errors concerning It's Enthusiastically
arc perhaps partially responsible FOR It's
sparing use, and the ignorance Of its
great value In many diseased conditions II ms
IS also responsible for the fact that fruit
occupies SO small O place in the bill of
fare OF civilized nations.
fruits may be divided into two classes.
according to their composition:
l. Flavor fruits. or those which are
composed largely of water (from 81 to
70 per cent. OF the whole fruit, what little
nutriment Is present. is In the form OF
acids and navors which are present.
z. FOOD fruits, or those which contain
more nutrimcnt In the form OF sugar.
The former class is especially valuable

aiding In throwing OF certain diseases.
To the acid found in this class of fruits
much OF their. value in disease Is due

fectly. The same effect is PRODUCED by
the acids In many of the other fruits.
This fact has given fruit very high

tain acid, they would only increase the
acid In the system. but this is not true
system into alkaline carbonates. which
arc free to neutralize the acids. Hence
/ they are very beneficial In diseases re-

! Acids also improve the quality OF the

pounds OF waste substances which have
been formed. thus increasing the secrc-

! Fruit Is also valuable because of It's
Laxative properties, which Is due to In
dgestiblc cellulose and seeds. For this
purpose fruits should be eaten freely,
and as fresh as possible AS n general
thing canned and dried fruits are not
considered as valuable as fresh. though
there are some exceptions. In which case
the cellulose Is softened and made more
digestible.
The ordor and flavor Of fruits are due
to small quantities OF ethereal bodies,
some of which forms the basis or different
fruit flavorings and essences, although
these have no nutritive value. they are
not to be dlspised as stimulants to the
appetite and aids to digestion

Elk. Senator Washburn, that

uns of September II, 1899. said:
THE Republican party, wheth-

have reached the crisis where
we have got to call d halt. The
Republican party has got to
disconnect itself from trusts.
1t has got to do something more
than to adopt platform planks
against trusts.
1T seems to me, after giving
the matter great deal of
thought. that the Republicans
in congress will have to exam
inc the subject thoroughly; and
whenever they find a trust is
depending for its exorbits nj
