HARDWORKING BODY

QUIBBLIRG is DIsaEGARDED
Up to the Present No Dissenting Opinion

Jackson Among members of the bar
who have watched the Supreme Court OF
Mississippi at work for years past it is
the eoncer u Ct opinion that the present
body Of men on the bench are preserving
the record established by preceding
courts for thorough, painstaking and
downright hard work. When the court
assembled it marked the commencement
Of the tenth week OF the new term. 1t
is noted with considerable interest that
during that period, while there have been
a number of eases handled involving
close and difficult legal propositions and
on which precedents aad authorities are
mixed and divergent, there has not been
so far during the term a single dissenting
opinion presented.
The court is adhering o~the rule laid
down at the outset of the trem as to the
disposal of cases upon which it may ap
pear that either one side or the other has
built up its cause on technical bubbles
and immaterial points, and this proceed
ure accounts very materially for the
number of cases handled so readily and
with so little delay. There is not a more
h~ard-working body of state officials Of
Mississippi than these three men who sit
to determine the rights as between ap.
pelIant and appollc and the clerical staff
OF the court realizes this fact.
