BOURNE CAN
MAIN TAIN
HIS SUIT

Defendants demurrer In the case OF
James ~. Bourne VS.. Union Trust COM
pany has been overruled by Judge Baker.
The defendant corporation assumed all
the obligations of the Commercial Ma
tional bank when that institution went
into voluntary liquidation. negotiable
certificate OF deposit for $1,000 was issued
by the Commercial National bank pay
able TO the order OF r. w. Sanderson.
This order came into the possession OF
complainant in return for a new and val
liable process OF bleaching treating and
dyeing the coarser portions of the finer
nbre or fax. Complainant demanded pay
ment from the Union Trust company OF
the amount OF the certificate but the same
was refused.
Judge Baker holds that the complainant
as creditor OF the Commercial bank
might claim. because OF the absorption By
the Union Trust company, that the lat
ter took the assets OF the bank impressed
with trust In his favor and IL so il
WOULD be a matter for equitable iurisdic-
ton as part of the inherent powers OF
court OF equity. The defendant filed a
demurrer the chief OF which was that
complainant had an adequate remedy at
law.
In the course OF rescript handed
down in the case Judge Baker saws: ''It
has happened that the law courts by en-
,arging the scope and effect of common
law actions have obtained the power OF
giving adequate relief In cases which
formerly came within the exclusive do
main of equity. But the enlargement OF
the jurisdiction at law by the ordinary
process OF legal development has not in
general affected theN present existing
jurisdiction Of equity.
Equitable Jurisdiction has been exer-
cised In application of this principle
among others. In suits TO recover a fund
impressed with a trust. or where a trust
relative In view of equity exists between
the parties, when the plaintiff might re-

We have laws in this state against
the commission of crime in any form,
but this does not stop crime. There is
one chance for another law which, if
enacted and enforced would help pres
emit conditions to great extent. 1t is
this, or about like this: BE il enact
ed by the general assembly Of the
State of Tennessee that it be a felony
for any person in an intoxicated condi-
ton to ride on, get on, or attempt to
get OH any public conveyance And
that it be a misdemeanor for any
agent to sell a ticket for transportation
to any person in an intoxicated condi-
ton, or for any person to purchase a
ticket for another who is in an intoxi-
Gated condition" If such law was en-
acted with proper penalty attached it
would be a great relief to the travelling
public and conductors.

this season among the cantaloupe

crates, mostly standard. were loaded

near our thriving little city, broke the
Sabbath yesterday, perhaps, too, for
the first time in their lives. They did
it picking and delivering cantaloupes
for shipping today. One hundred and
ten crates were delivered here yester.
day and with the 800 delivered today,
will compete the first car load shipped
from this place this season. Partial
car loads have been put ON here sever
al times the past week. in fact, every
day the past week. 1t is believed by

car load will be shipped from this
place every day this week, beginning
with today.
