TRIAL BY Jury.

The right of trial by jury is no
doubt one OF the bulwarks OF Angle
Saxon liberty but the methods EN-.
ployed in selecting a jury in modern
criminal trials is tending TO bring IL
into disrepute with all thinking men
and women. The ancient theory Of
the jury was one entirely different TO
what goes to-day. Then IL was that
the jury was composed entirely Of
men who were familiar with all the
facts in the case. They knew the
parties concerned personally and had
generally lived in tho neighborhood
for years. The more thev knew about
the facts in the case, the better jury.
men they would make. The amount Of
it all was that the witnesses tried
the case. II one OF the parties was OF
mean, hoggish disposition, they
knew IL and IL went into their con.
sideration Of the verdict. Being
neighbors to the parties. they knew
all the little tricks and weaknesses
and everything had its influence on
the verdict. Now this method
evidently gave too much power TO
prejudice but the modern method goes
too far the other way. Now man
disQuslities himself II he has dis.
cussed the case in any manner OF ex.
pressed AN opinion and the more he
knows about the facts OF the case, the
worse IL gets and he is rbt supposed to
take into consideration anything he
learns about the case outside of the
courtroom. Recently = jurymAn went

PROSPEROUS FARMERS.

Never in the history of this coun-
try have the farmers been more pros
porous than in this good year. In our
own state Of Georgia they owe less
money, own more property, and are
in better condition morally and fnan-
cially than ever.
Taking the country as whole, a
statistical report soon to be pub
hshed in the American Agriculturist,
shows that the American farmers
earnings this year are a thousand
million dollars greater than last year.
This money gain is due to increased
prices Of farm products, for crops
generally will be ten per cent shorter
than last year.
HThe farmer was never In so heal
thy q position as he is today--fnan-
cially, socially, politically, mentally
and spiritually" says the report.
"The increase in the value Of his real
estate has been prodigious. He owes
less money than ever before. He has
greater assets than ever. Again, tho
farmers wants are greater. He is In
the market FOR more and better breed
ing stock, farm implements, house.
hold goods and other merchandise. "
Great is the American farmer; God
bless him! FTe feeds most Of the
world, and may he never go hungry

DON'T BE A WILMER.

Lucky is the man in business who
doesn't feel occasionally like giving
up the fight. There are times when
everything seems to go wrong that
comes your way.
When in such condition the fol-
lowing, written by a buyer for the
American Tobacco Journal, may
serve you as bracer. Don It, gen.
tlemen, play the part of the under
dog. Don't let the public think that
your business is being injured by the
trusts or by any other combination of
men or circumstances. Put up
bold front, look the world in the face
and whistle, whether you win or lose.
You cam win anything with whine.
The man with troubles never lacks
an audience but his auditors seldom
leaves him with more respect for him
as a man than they had before they
knew he had any troubles.
Humanity is a peculiar proposition,
anyhow. Give them something to
look at: put up show of sightliness:
keep things neat, attractive and
cheerful, and you will get the busi-
ness regardless of other things. To
hold business you have got to have
something else of merit, but to hold
trade you must have some trade to
hold in the first place.
1t isn't necessary to brag, but it
IS vitally necessary to keep the pub
lic thinking you are an is-er and
not was-er. If once you let the
people think you have gone under
they will fall on you like Siberian
wolves and eat you. Every time and
all the time people follow the sue
cessful man, they trade with him and
try to make friends with him.

ing the act approved October 13,
1885.
The house was new to its duties
hence organized effort in favor of
the repeating bill was impossible.
Judge w. A. Little was speaker. Ac-
cording to arrangement, as soon as
the gentleman who introduced the OBJ
noxious bill had finished his argu-
ment, the speaker left his chair and
took the floor. The house looked
with great Difference upon him whom
it had but a few days before singled
out for the highest honor within its
gift. Speaker Little delivered pow
erful speech in opposition to the
pending bill, followed it up with
most eloquent plea in behalf Of the
proposed Georgia Tech whose high
mission would be and now is to train
: the hand as well as to educate the
mind.
A motion indefinitely to postpone
the repeating bill was made and
adopted. Next morning a motion by
the opponents Of the Tech to recon
slider their lost bill was defeated, and
then the Georgia School Of Technol-
ogy was given to bless the common
wealth and to magnify her in the
eyes Of the whole world.
Now comes Representative Curtis,
Of Minnesota, advocating, through
bill pending in the national house of
representatives, a special appropria-
tion by the federal government in aid
Of agricultural high school district
schools Of agriculture and branch ex-
pertinent stations in each state and
territory.
In support Of the first mentioned,
he proposes that there shall be an
annual appropriation to each state and
territory of sum equal to TO cents
per capita Of the population as shown
by the last preceding United States
census or state census. Tn support
Of the branch experiment stations, he
proposes an annual appropriation of
$4,000 to each such branch station,
conditioned that the state or territory,
desirous to share in the bounty, shall
guarantee an equal amount.
The obvious purpose is to broaden
the provision already made for ag-
ricultural education.
Mr.. Curtis bill provides that the
money allotted to each state shall be
divided between the city people and
the country people. Each city will
receive 10 cents per capita on its
population at the last national or
state census. The money thus al
lotted to the respective states and
not apportioned to city high schools
will be available for use toward the
maintenance Of one agricultural high
school in each rural congressional dis
trict, or its equivalent.
Mr. Curtis says truly that the
"farmers Of America have rapidly
changed from an Indifferent attitude
toward so-called book farming to

FARMERS UNION SONG.

At the feast of oppression,
And some hundreds of their kind,
They cursed and slashed our profes-
sion
At the bidding Of their mind.
And at night while they reveled
In their royal palace hall
They were seized with CONSERVATION
At the Unions work-that's all.
Refrain:
'Tis the hand Of man on the plow;
IT'S the hand of man on the plow:
Shall the Union cause now flourish,
Or be compelled to perish,
While the hand is resting on the
plowq
See the boys Of the Union,
Now above two millions strong,
They re rebuking oppression
For its mighty deeds of wrong.
They will give it it's position;
It must come to one and all;
For the great expressions g spotted
By the Union-that all.
Refrain:
See the brave Union boys
That would dare to do the right,
Which the Union gives to brothers,
'Tis the secret of their might.
n their homes in the country,
While they eat their fatted bread,
They are piling CONSERVATION
On the great oppressor' hand.
So your deeds are recorded,
IT'S the Union writing now;
You had better quit expressing,
And record an honest VOW.
For the day is approaching,
It must come to one and all,
When oppression's occupation
Will be batted like the ball.-X.
