if the Judge forgot his oath to hold the
scales fairly, and shonldallow q lawyer tc
do as the Journal says, the court room
might sometime have q scene in it which
was not on the bills. Suppose, for instance
: the lawyer should be indiscreet enough .te
assail the wrong witness, and that witness
should rise in the court room, as he Should
do, and deEounce the Journals lawyer as
q liar. The lawyer, acting, as the. Journal
says come lawyers do, would deserve ex.
actly such retort. In such csse the court
would be responsible for the contempt, and
no jury would punish the witness who de-
Tended himself. "
This newspaper is obliged to believe the
Greenwood Journal must have been i'm
agining things or else he must have been
talking about some Georgia judges and
Georgia lawyers. We are quite sure that
no lawyer in Greenwood County would act
as the journal describes. If he did the
assailed. witness would most likely de
nounce the lawyer as he should do de-
nounce lyingcharges in open court, and
no jury wouldsgive the verdicts to a law
yer who made unsupported charges
against awitness. -
The Greenwood Journal has travelled
He surely is not talking about decent
Judges and decent Courts and decent law
yers and honorable jurors in Greenwood,
South Carolina. Where have you been,

Of them have been married and have beer

But no woman need expects be respect

The right way to work for "-E?n is to

who may assume the work, put girls on
their guard against being placed in the
way of temptation. And they should be
impressed with the truth that no man

protect herself at alltimes. The slightest

should be avoided.

should know that a woman has no other

IImpeaching Witnesses.

A favoritc method with a certain class
Of lawyers, when they run up against a
case that is hard for them to manage, is to
do what they can to break down the testi-
mony by throwing suspicion upon the
witnesses. They will not hesitate to make
1t appear that the witness or witnesses
are nothing but common liars. and that
they have sworn falsely in the case that
Is being tried.-Greenwood Journal.
1t seems that our Greenwood brother is
in error. Lawyers are not fools. They
know that by assailing the character of
witnesses they must excite on the part OF
some Of the jurors a spirit of more or less
resentment. Nobody knows better than
a lawyer that jurors are jealous when the
character Of an innocent witness is I'M
Justly assailed, either by direction or by
insinuation. And then the whole panel, as
a rule, is not composed Of fools. There are
at least one or more manly men on every
panel, and the manly mans sympathy is
certainly excited in behalf Of the injured
witness. And then there are usually some
discerning men on the %juries. If they see
the rich and the influential treated diff
ferently from the weak and the defense
less, the lawyer knows that such action
disgusts the s~elf-respecting juror who
would refuse to lend himself to so dis
reputable an act as that Of giving credence
to the unfounded charges which a lawyer
may make for selfish purposes and which
the lawyer as we'll as the juror, knows is
false.
The Greenwood Journal is wrong for an
other reason. A self respecting presiding
Judge in, South Carolina would not allow
a lawyer in his presence and surrounded
by an army of constables to do such a
disreputable, act as that Of black-garding
and bully-ragging a witness, or in making
assertions which is not borne out in testi-
mony. If a lawyer desired to discredit a
witness, the Judge would allow the lawyer
to bring in witnesses. A just Judge in
court may not allow a lawyer to give
testimony, except when under oath. Even

Chicago, March 2.-WHEAT-Cro
damage reports and heavy sales OF
cash grain caused a two cent advance
here today, July incidentally touching
100. a new high record mark for the
season. The market closed strong
with net gain for the day of a tot
a.
The bulge followed a weak opening.
Trade in July was especially heavy
owing to tho stampede among the
shorts who bought freely as a result
of reports from Texas and southern
Illinois telling of injury to the fall
sown crop.
The absence of rain during the win
ter months is said TO have caused con-
siderable deterioration in the condi-
ton Of the crop in Texas. The re-
vived demand for cash wheat helped
the May option. Local sales for the
| day aggregated 123,0G0 bushels, a
great bulk of which was red winter

THE SIMPLE LIFE LEFT BEHIND.
Mankind Has Created Complications
Hard to Do Away With.

II is easy to talk about the simple
life and so hard 10 live it, for life Is
not simple any more. Its compiled
lions seem unavoidable.
The trouble lies In ourselves; the
entire trend of womanly sentiment is
away from the things the centuries
held dear.
II was not so hard TO keep life sim
ple when ones best black silk did
duty for a decade. Nowadays II the
silk didn't cut into ribbons the cut
of the garment would mean the patch
box in at least two seasons
Il is the craze for something new
that is the undoing of simplicity
Novelty is the keynote of most of our
lives. Even friendships and matri
mony are getting infected with this
microbe of restlessness
A mother said not long ago: Baby
Louise is so finnicky she will only
play with her toys two or three times
before she is tired OF them and have
10 send them off to the hospital.
And the mother Seemed to think
that it showed a progressive spirit in
her child Such craving for novelty
can mean nothing but unhappiness, nc
matter what ones ability to gratify

change our views of much that we
now think progressive.
