LAWYEWS AND JUDUES.
A new objection to feminine ju
rors has been voiced by a young
woman lawyer of New Jersey,
who lost a case before a mixed
jury.
"The nine young women in the
jury were essayed by the smiles
and compliments of the handsome
young lawver on the other side,"
complained the lady, "My case
was won until then."
Now, what shall we do? Shall
we put jury duty for women to a
sudden end, or shall all good-looking
men be refused admission to
the bar? We shall do neither, if
we are wise, as an exchange sug
gests. Instead, we shall banish the idea
that jury service is a matter of sex
or influence. We shall insist that
every jury decision be in accord
ance with the facts presented and
not with the emotions aroused.
What is still more important, we
shall stop the attempt of lawyers to
influence juries by theatrical and
misleading methods.
And we shall drive from the bar
all that unsavory crew who debase
a great profession by conniving at
the evasion of law, and who use
every trick, legitimate or illegiti
mate, to protect criminals known
to be guilty.
THE PEOPLE AND THECOURTS
In a Mississippi county not long
ago a mob broke into the jail one
night, took a prisoner a white
man from the sheriff and hanged
him to a nearby tree. The man
had been convicted of the murder
of a woman and was under sen
tence of death, but his lawyers had
appealed to the supreme court for
a new trial.
This lynching cannot be ex
cused, of course, for it was a terri
ble wrong. But it can be explain
ed, at least to some extent. The
people, or a part of the people,
feared that the delays and techni
calities of the law would be used
to thwart the ends of justice.
During the same week the grand
jury in a South Carolina court
formally asked the presiding judge
to impose heavier sentences upon
persons convicted of violating the
prohibition laws. The grand jury
said in other words, that persons
convicted of this offense were not
being sufficiently punished.
These two instances are cited to
emphasize a fact which must be
clear to everybody, and that there
is a growing impatience with the
way justice is being administered
in our courts. There are too many
delays, too many loop holes, too
many ways by which criminals may
escape their deserts.
The public conscience is becom
ing aroused, and judges, lawyers,
lawmakers, jurors, and all who
have to do with our courts would
do well to pay attention.
CONGRESSS has been so busy
passing the buck that it hasn't pass
ed many bills.

NOTES FROM AN OLD DIARY. 1 CHARLES D. HOUSE.
By J. B. T. June 8th, 1860.
'Tis said that "that in a multi
tude of councellors there is wis
dom," this sometimes is true, but
on this special occasion a decision
was arrived at, adversely to my
fondest wishes, which throw a
damper over pleasant anticipations,
of large enjoyment, at a social
function in cur neighborhood, to
be held on the day after to-morrow
evening; you see, the situation is
just this: I have a girl, (and this
is where the trouble lies).
Now, the committee of arrange
ments, for some reason, advanced
the date for the entertainment, and
this will cause the absence of my
girl, as she must remain away till
close of school, which is still a
week hence, thus, she will miss
enjoyable occasion by only a few
days, this causes me to feel no
further interest in the affair; yet 1
myself, condemn this spirit of sel
fishness, w hich should be elimina
ted from every life, as it is truly a
bane to ones happiness.
It were better perhaps, that 1
give over selfishness for the good
of others, and subtract from the
total of life's pleasures to date, the
enjoyment which seemed a week
ago would come to me at this
time. NX' ell, no one on earth is
exempt from trouble, and I might
as well conclude to bear my por
tion. I was in Weldon to-day, and
father sent me to the flour mill
(operated by Mr. T. A. Clark) on
a business errand, and on my re
turn, 1 noticed an angry looking
cloud stretching from horizon to
horizon, with as nearly a straight
edge, as one could imagine a cloud
(o have, it's majestic appearance
caused me to notice it, more care
fully than I otherwise would have
done, and to call my father's atten
tion to it. Well, in a short while,
the most disastrous wind and hail
storm developed I have ever
known. Everything in its track be
ing damaged more or less, both in
town and country. The farm of
Col. J. B. Zollicoffer came nearer
devastation than anything I have
ever seen. The Colonel was at
Halifax that day, and on returning,
when he beheld the desolation ex
claimed, "I am a ruined man."
But with the determination of a
man, put his slaves to work,
straightening up the plantation as
best he could, and planting such
crops as would mature from this
late planting.
A Remarkable Record.
Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy has a
remarkable record. It has been in use
for colds, croup and whooping cougb
for almost half a century and has con
stantly grown in favor and popularity
as its good qualities became better
known It is the standard and main
reliance for theBe diseases in thousands
of homes. The factMhat it can always
be depended upon and is safe and
pleasant to take are greatly in its favor
when it is wanted for children.
Death ot a Much Beloved Citizen
of Halifax County.
Died at his residence in Thelma
on Monday, October 3rd, in the
63rd year of his age, Mr. Charles
D. House.
Mr. House was stricken with
paralysis several months ago and
for awhile, his friends entertained
the hope being a strong robust
man that he would recover his
usual good health. But the past
few days he showed signs of failing
rapidly.
The whole county mourns the
death of Charlie House. In every
relation, through a long life in this
community, he measured fully up
to the standard of a man.
He has left hundreds of friends
and never an enemy.
Mr. House possessed in the high
est degree the power to discern
the difference between right and
wrong And he was always prompt
to hold to the right. He ever
steered his course through life by
the compass of justice, truth and
fair dealing.
He leaves to his family and
friends as an imperishable heritage,
a life in which honesty, truth and
just dealing were ever the guiding
stars. He leaves a wife and five
children.
The funeral took place Wednes
day and the interment was at the
family burying ground. '
Peace to his ashes, say we.
A Qood Phytic
When you want a physic that is mild
and gentle in effect, easy to take and
certain to act, take Chamberlain's Tab
lets. They are excellent.
"All the world's a stage," and
lots of people are saying the show
is no good.
How Better Than Pills?
The question has been asked: In
what way areiCbamberlain'i Tablets su
perior to the ordinary cathartic and
liver pills? Our answer is, they are
easier and more pleaaant to take and
heir effent so gentle that one hardly
realises that is produced by a medicine.
Then, they not only more the bowels
hut improve the appetite and strength
en the digestion.
Geraldine Fakrar has started
a suit for divorce, and there are
those who wonder why Mr. Far
rar did not beat her to it.
Catarrhal Deafness Can't beCured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inllamed con.
dition of tle mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire,
ly closed, Deafness is the result, andunt
less the inllauimation can be taken out
ind this tube restored to its normal
condition, hcarinirwill be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
darned condition of the mucous sur
faces.
