WnmAn al the kar.

Since the passage by the General AS
sembly of the state OF. Tennessee of an
act permitting the admission of women
to the bar, it has become matter of
public record that Tennessee has
number of the gentei sex who are am
bilious to measure lances with the dis
tinguished arts of the law of the sterner
sex. In the examinations which were
held in the Supreme Court rooms in
Nashville last week, three aspirants
from West Tennessee were in the lists
that sought admission to the bar.
Right pluckily they tackled the eighty
questions of knotty law which were
propounded as condition of fitness.
One applicant for similar honors had
formerly made her appearance at the
Lebanon examinations. The intelli-
gence of women and especially their
quick recognition Of justice has often
been said to surpass that OF men. This
however, is not mentioned as a reason
for the opposition that is generally ex
pressed against the admission o.
women.

In q conference with the Commits
sioner of Agriculture John Thompson
Saturday, relative to the new law reg
ulating the sale OF commercial feeding
stuffs, Gov. Patterson expressed his
qualification over the measure, stating
that he was heartily in favor of the
law. The Governor desires the Com
missioner to take all the necessary
steps to enforce the law. which will
perhaps, make it necessary to appoint
Deputy Inspectors of Commercial
Feeding Stufis at all important points
throughout the state, whose duty it will
be to examine samples of stuffs submit
ted by the purchasers. They will also
attend to the matter of providing that
proper stamps are used on all stuffs for
sale, and in every instance make the
dealers conform to all the requirements
of the law. Reports so far received
from dealers are to the effect that they
are very much pleased with the law and
the rulings of the Commissioner under
the law, Commissioners Thompson is Of
the opinion that the department will ex-
perience little ifany trouble in applying
the law in all cases, as the manufactur-
ers of commercial feeding stuffs will be
compelled to conform to the require
ments in order to place their products
on the market. This, to a great ex-
tent, will relieve the dealer of any an
noyance which might arise on account
of any complications. The concen-
trated feed law, however, only applies
to dealers and not to manufacturers, in
order that the purchasers might have
relief at home. The recent rulings of
the Commissioner under the act and
the enforcement thereof will no doubt
prove very beneficial to the purchasers
who are forced to purchase their feeding
stuffs from dealers on small as well as
= large scale. Nashville American.
