GER A MODERN JURY LAW.

In the State of Mississippi the State
has twelve challenges and the de-
PENDANT has twelve.
Reading newspaper does not dis
qualify q man from jury service.
II joror states that he can rem
der fair verdict notwithstanding
what he has read and the court Ts
of the opinion" that the juror can
do this that man can serve.
In Tennessee the State has six cha
lenges and the defense has twenty
four.
In this State the narrow interpreta-
ton of the law has placed a bar
against an educated, reading man
doing jury duty. Effort is being
made to change the jury law in this
State. but we are informed that the
young lawyers in the legislature are
opposing any change.
Mississippi has made the change
and in that State white man is
convicted nine times out Of ten II
he is guilty-here white man is con
victed and hanged-well, one time
out of one hundred trials for murder
in the first degree.-Commercial APP
peal.
Mississippi jury system stands high
err inTennessee than it does at home
and no doubt it is better than that
of the Volunteer State; but it needs
Improvement badly; for to the juries
of this State, both grand and petit,
is due much of crime committed, too
many influential men are never in
dected, and it is rare one gets a
sentence commensurate with the Of
tense and is too often turned loose
on trial.

EXPLOITING THE ADVANTAGES
OF THE SOUTH.

In craftsmanship, in war, in liter
AZURE, in the learned professions, the
South has ever maintained its stand
ing as the equal of other sections of
this great country.
Before the war its wealth was such
that based on population, it paid a
greater per capita tax than did Mas
sachusetts.
The people of the United States
have become so imbued with com
mercialism that they are money wild,
and the writer would vastly rather
see the South continue the land of
intelligence, patriotism, honesty and
virture, proud of the forefathers who
did so much to make this glorious
and free country, than to have her
citizens forget the principles that
constitute her real greatness and SUI
coordinate them to greed for gold.
We have country that is complete
within itself, when it comes to pro-
ducing the essentials necessary Tor
life and happiness.
With rivers and sea ports, with fer
tile lands that will yield any crop
grown in the United States, with vast
forests of timber, with climate and
soil such that live stock can be cheap
ly raised, we are blessed as few peo-
pie are.
While it would be grievous sin
to desire its upbuilding for the doll
ars alone, it is duty to the present
as well as to the future, generations
that we herald to the world it's adj
vantages and extend a welcome to
all people, whether capitalists, or la
borers, who are of the kind that
make good citizens, and whose chill
dren will be worthy of union to those
of the South; but under no c1rcum-
stances do we desire an influx OF
foreigners whose habits and princl
pies are repulsive to refined and
virtuous people.
The Southern Commercial Congress
organized in Washington some
months ago by broad minded South
erners, who selected Hon. John nj
Parker, who suggested the organl
cation. as its first president, Will
do a great work in educating others
to what the South has and is capa
BILE of. With only about 80 per cent
of the population the South has PAID
since the war about $2,40O, 100000
war debts and national government
expenses, at the same time increas
ing in wealth, in 1870, of $1,000, 600,
600 to $4,000, 100000 nova greater
rate of increase than the balance Of
the country, and that with mines I'm
developed, with less than one thlro
of her land farmed, and bankrupt tt
start on after the bloodish struggle
history can show Our talents mus
not be buried, but in adding to then
let care be taken that in accnmllat
ing riches we do not lose sight OF
those virtues that wealth cannot pur
