Elssttuers, "0," a very good lawyer,
mikes reply to "Lex's" last article
questioning the correctness of a decision
of ihe supreme court Smith v. Bris
son, 90 N. C, j. 286. Lawyers, like
doctors differ. This has been the case
ever since the beginning of the world,
aid it will be to the end. It is because
of the impossibility of the lawyers
agreeing that we have a supreme court
to say whioh is right.
" Lex" has amused himself in finding
fault with the decisions of the democratic
court, a performance whioh any fledg
ling who never read a dozen law bosks
could do ad nauseam. The gift of the
gab is however quite a distinct thing
from an intelligent comprehension! a
law case. " Lex" has the former the
latter seems to be beyond his attain
ments. In Smith v. Brisson the case
was this: Old Mr. Mercer, for love and
affection, and for one dollar, gave and

who sued for it, the land being then in
the possession of the children of James
Now, the plain purpose of old Mr. Mer

For this reason it is easy to predict that

Thit have at Concord, New Hamp
shire, every summer what is called a
school of philosophy. That school is
now in session and is discussing Plato.
The profundity of the discussion may
be realixed from the following contribu
tion made thereto by a Texan, Prof.
Edmund Montgomery: "The divinely
inspired soul that, twenty-three centu
ries ago, came to fashion into organic
form the little drop of planetary matter
visibly known among contemporaries as
'Plato, the broad-browed, came from
said A should have no heirs," then to
13; that is if A should die, having no
such heirs living at his death. The act
of 27 prevents the limitation being too
remote and the property being acquired
by conveyance whereby, tho title rests
immediately, "death without issue" can
not bo construed "death without iscue
during the life of the grantor." The
very nature of the case forces the other
construction, leaving no issue at his
death. Try it again, "Lex," and see if
you can't do a little better next time.

Correspondence of Tax News axd Obskbter.
Bcmio Lithia Springs, Va.,
July 29, 1886.
We arrived here yesterday afternoon
after forty-five miles drive through the
country from Kittrell. In passing
through the finest farming lands of
Vanoe, Granville and portions of Meck
lenburg county, Virginia, I am sorry to
state that I did not see a single plant of
tobacco that can possibly make a good
yellow wrapper, no matter how favor
able thc seasons may be from now out.
The crop everywhere is a total failure,
and it is the verdict of every farmer
whom I have seen that the present crop
cannot possibly be one-half so good as
that of last year. Thc corn crop is the

inaae in consequence or tne iormer su

and several pages were devoted to a dis
cussion of the principles involved,
"shifting uses," "scintilla juris,"
"conveyances under the statutes of
ter was disposed of as in the former in-
st nee.
Wi are asked who are entitled to be
addressed as honorable. The President,
vice-president, members of the cabinet,
Senators and members of Con
gress, foreign ministers, United
States judges. Governors lieutenant
governors and speakers of the Bouse,
juages oi me supreme and superior
courts, and commissioners representing
any State. If there are others we do
not recall them. The News ako Ob
sxbvxb seeks to stand by the old paths
in this matter, and docs not use the title
indiscriminately.
Apropos of some of the accomplish
ments of well known men who have at
tained considerable age, we met with an
item the other day that is not devoid of
interest. In one of Horace Wal pole's
letters, written in 1785, he says: "Gen.
Oglethorpe, who sometimes visits me
and who is 95, has the activity of youth
when compared with me. Two years and
a "half ago he challenged a neighbor
for trefpissiDg on his manor." This is
one of the most notable instances of a
survival of a f gating spirit that we re
call. The old gentleman was in his
93d year and still was ready to kill his
man if need be in vindication of hisrights.
The general, in his younger days, set
tled Georgia and was recognised as one
of the most humane and enlightened
men of his times
' &
The members of the North Carolina
bar association recently adopted with
out dissent a resolution looking to in
creasing the number of justices of the
supreme court frrm three to five. We
wouli feel free to advocate that as a de
sirable change, but we do not under
stand how. anyone who opposes the renom -ination
of the present supreme court oajn
consistently advocate increasing the
number of justices.-. Wc know that
uses," &o. All that is abstruse learn
ing, and we apprehend that the court
is right. At any rate Mr. and Mrs
Smith did not get the land that old Mr
Mercer intended for his grandchildren;
and that is the substance of the matter.
Thi inferior court at Asheville has
decided that the Asheville Citizen,
which had said that "it would be well
if the court were hung," was guilty of
contempt. The defendants having taken
on appeal, the matter will be adjudi
cated in the superior court, and thence
i i ji ii.. ,i
an appeal aouoiieBS in tne supreme
court. And in the meantime there will
be much comment, and comment will
degenerate into j caustic wit, and1 hard
feeling will be engendered and the
question, no matter how it ends, will be
hurtful to the moral influence of the
courts. On the whole, a mountain is
to be made out of a mole-hill, and it
would have been well had the mole-bill
not have been started. We assume that
the Citizen intended what it said as a
joke, but the Citizen ought to under
stand that the courts of the State are not
proper suDjects ; oi pleasantry, and on
the first int'mation that the court pro
posed to maintain its dignity the Citi
zen ought to have hastened to purge
itself of the alleged contempt. Courts
are not legitimate objects of pleasan
try, and the Citizen would have done
itself credit if it had taken a different
course instead of antagonizing the court
in this instance.
Ons explanation of the defeat of Mr.
Gladstone is given as follows by a Home
Ruler:
' ' It may interest Americans .to know
that if a man in England be rich enough
he can vote in twenty constituencies
This gives the Tories an enormous ad
vantage. One Churoh of England car-
judges Smith. Ashe and Merrimon can I son boasted publicly thatrhe voted at
do tne work iu the future, for they have I fifteen elections) Nearly -all the Wealthy
done it in the past. But still we think
the woik is too heavy even for them.
Most of tho gentlemen whoso names
have ben mentioned as suitable suc
cessors to them could not stand up
under the work stall, and if they should
bo nominated, the bfnch would necessari
ly have tqre increased. We think under
the oircumstanc s that the best solution
is to renominate the present justices who
can do the work, and then to let the
legislature next winter submit a-propo
sition to the people for an amendment
to the constitution increasing the num
ber of justices. It would seem, how
ever, that those who oppose thc renooai
nation of the present court, from the
nature of the ca&e Bins: cpj ow tfcij de
ired inereue,
men have at least two votes, and a con
siderable number half a dozen. Th
Tory majority was made up of tb s"
plural votes. A majority of the electors
voted for Gladstone and home rule, bat
tie plural votes defeated the popular
voice."
We have had little doubt that while the
Tories carried the day, the majority of
the people voted for home rule that the
m vises were on that side of the qu
tion. As to the system of plural Vot
ing, the home rulers need by no means
despair if that is all they have to fight
against. The system must soon oome
to an end. The, growing sentiment of
the world is in favor of but one vote for
one man, and this sentiment will inert

I find quite an agreeable company
here; quite as many as. usual for this
time of the season. Very great im
provements have taken place under the
new management. Visitors of former
seasons would hardly recognize the
place. New buildings have gone up
and old ones have been repainted;
the grounds , have . . been beauti
fully terraced and laid off into
drives and walks. The fare is the
most elegant I ever saw anywhere. The
very best beef and mutton that can be
bought in Richmond are brought in re
frigerators daily, and served in the most
tempting style by the best of Frenoh
cooks. Mr. Tice, the genial and clever
manager, is a typical . Yankee, look
closely after every department, gives
you the very best that can be prooured,
and then charges you like blazes. But
this, in my opinion, is the only way to
give satisfaction in a hotel.
I find here among the many North
Carolinians, Mrs. Thos. llolt and
Mrs. Laird, of Haw River; Mr.
David Worth and daughter, Mrs.
Graham Daves, of Wilmington ; Mrs.
William Roberts, of New Berne ; Mr.
A. C. Zollicoffer and family, of Hen

of Kittrell. Among those from Geor

Augusta, and Mr. W. II. Hare and

others here from the southern States,
while several northern States ire well
represented.
We are having very warm weather,

Lex is still hammering away at our
court for its gross errors. If you will
allow me I will try to answer his last
letter in the State Chronicle, in which he
"goes for" the court on account of
their decision in the case of Smith vs
Brisson, 90 N. C.,284. By the way, who
is "Lex?" If rumor is correct as to who
he is, I would advise the man whom he u
advocating for the supreme court bench,
if there be such a one, to take warning
from a recent occurrence in this State
and get a less fratricidal advocate. At
common law an estate to A and his
uoira but if he die without heirs then to
Is and his heirs, was construed to mean
ilit if at any time A's heirs became
extinct then the estate would go over to
B and his heirs; that is when the death
of A without heirs generally was meant;
but this limitation was too remote and
A'f estate became absolute. By oar

as long as he is faithful to the constitu

as he maintains the exalted character for
honesty and integrity which he possessed
when they voted for him, and whioh has
