THE CASES IN COURT.

The time of the courts nova.
days is occupied in the trial of a
very different class of cases from
those that engaged the attention
of judges, jurors and lawyers
twenty-five and more years ago.
For number Of years after the
civil war the court calendars
were crowded with proceedings
for the settlement of estates, suits
involving land titles, actions on
notes and bonds, etc. Such ac-
tions are now rare, comparative
ly speaking, the character of lit
igation having undergone rad
ical change. Corporations now
practically monopolize the at.
tention of the courts, either vol
unfairly or involunt arlly, that is
to say, either as plaintiff or de-
fandant, as a glance at the calen.
dars of any circuit court in the
country will show.
The Yorkville Enquirer, in it's
last issue, publishes a list OF
cases "likely to be pressed for
trial" at YorK's April term of
court, and out of the total mum
ber OF twenty-eight of such cases,
corporations-prlncipally rail.
roads are either plaintiffs or de
PENDANTS in twenty-five of them.
Many of the cases are against
railroad companies presumably
damage suits.
There has also been a marked
change on the criminal side OF
the courts. Following the war
and during the Reconstruction
period the carrying of concealed
weapons was weIl-nigh a univer
sal custom, which resulted in
many shooting scrapes and homi-
cldes. II was not unusual, there
fore, in those days, for white men
to be arraigned and tried for
murder, assault and battery with
intent to kill, etc. But in this
day and time you rarely see
white man in he prisoners dock,
an overwhelming majority of
the prosecutions being against
negroes. Does that mean that as
the whites become more law
abiding the negroes increase in
lawlessnessg

"BE A MAN, AND LET THE HEATH
EN- RAGE"

1t is fact noticeable in eyery
community that whenever one
citizen achieves marked success
especially from a financial stand
point, he at once becomes - OBJ
ject of envy and hatred, and Oft
entimes malicious persecution, by
some of his less fortunate fellow
citizens. This seems to be one of
the detestable phases of human
nature. Instead of trying to
emulate the example of the man
who does things-the man who
becomes prominent by reason
of his good judgment and tire
less labor in his chosen field of
human endeavor-so many of
us stand off and throw stones at
him and stab him in the dark,
so to speak. The last issue of the
Greenwood Journal contains an
excellent editorial on this sub.
Ject, under the caption, "The
Price OF Success" DR.. Gardner.
the editor, covers the ground so
completely and so we'll that we
reproduce his article in full:
A gentleman remarked to us
the other day, in speaking of the
unreasonable hatred and perse
cuton that some men had to en-
dure, that one OF the prime caus
es for it was on account of the
success that these men had made
in life. He then went on to name
Cne OF the best and most GENIAL
men that We know, man who
has done a great deal for the
community in which he lives
and who is thoroughly unselfish.
"Now, " said this gentleman, II
can tell you why he is prosecuted,
and disliked by a good many
people. 1t is simply for the rea-
son that he has been a most con-
splcuous success in all that he
has undertaken" "Now" con-
tinued our friend, Il am MOI
specially on intimate terms with
him, aud | am not sure that our
friendship amounts to much. but
l know a thing when | see it,
and | do not hesitate to express
myself"
This set us to thinking. We
always supposed that the price
OF success was indomitable en-
ergy, perseverance, pluck and
keen foresight, with economical
management, and that it was
credltable TO a man to possess
these Qualities. We supposed
that the success that one made
in life, the greater was the honor,
and the more admirers he would
have. 1t had not occurred to us
that persecution, vituperation
and hatred were the price that
one must pay for success. But it
must be true. However, may it
not be that these things are the
premiums that one receives for
his success rather than the price
he pays.
But, here is food for medita-
ton. "To be or not to be-" that
is the question. If you are no
account, and make a failure in
life you are despised, ,and held in
contempt by all men and justly
so. On the other hand. if Won

WONDERFUL FREAK OF NATURE

The wonderful formation or freak
OF nature shown and known locally
as Rock City," is situated in a val
ley about four miles from the town
pit Minneapolis, in Kansas, between
that place and Salina. The photo
graph conveys an excellent idea of
the general appearance of the Getty"
Itself, the stones or rocks composing
1t being slab-like in form. rising up
wards in tiers, and reminding one of
a yeast-risen dough loaf or cake. The
height of the rock varies from small
stones to monsters of fifteen and
twenty feet in height or more. The
figures of the ladies seated thereon,
and of the horse in the background,
give an idea as to size. No definite
scientific explanation can be given as
to the origin of this extraordinary
natural curiosity, but from the lava
like appearance of the stloaves," and
the crater-like formation of the sur
rounding land, it may be assumed
that it is due to volcanic or seismic
influences of prehistoric times. AS,
however, indications point to the fact
that portions of the vast prairies
once formed an ocean bed, an addi-
tional mystery is attached to the orr
gin of Rock City," - The Wide
World Magazine.
