SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, MAY 12, 1897.
GREEK AND TURK.
The Greeks Win A Battle —Many
Turks Killed.
A dispatch from Volestino dated
Wednesday says: “The Turks to
-1 day were repulsed after five hours’
fighting, with heavy loss. Simul
taneously Edhem Pasha’s main
I force engaged the Greek outpost at
Pharsalos and the fighting lasted
from 2 p. m. until 7;30 p. m., both
armies retaining their original po
sitions.”
Following is the official dispatch
from Maj. Pallis, chief of staff of
the Greek forces in Thessaly, de
scribing the fighting at Pharsalos:
“The Turks attacked our ad
vance posts 2 o’clock. Since yes
terday the enemy’s movement had
indicated an intention to cut off
our left wing, and today the} at
tacked our front. Our advance
posts retreated, as they were fight
ing against very superior numbers,
and took up a position in front of
our right wing. An artillery duel
ensued along the extensive line.
The enemy’s infantry advanced in
perfect order at three points and
in large numbers, but they were
speedily checked by our infantry.
The respective losses are as yet un
known.
“The crown prince took a very
active part in the combat and ad
vanced within range of the Tur
kish fire, greatly inspiring the men.
Prince Nicholas was equally active
at the right wing and directed the
fire of his battery against the Tur
ish batteries. His coolness great
ly encouraged the troops. We main
tain all our positions intact and
the engagement will certainly be
continued tomorrow (Thursday).
We. calculate that about 15,000
Turks attacked our right wing.
They rushed down the hill slopes
in vast numbers. The enemy was
our superior in both cavalry and
artillery; the caliber of their guns
was larger, while their number was
almost double ours. We had no
cavalry, because the only squadron
had been used for scouting and
had gone to Trikkala.”
There is great rejoicing over the
receipt of the official telegram from
Pharsalos saying the Turks have
been repulsed and that the Greeks
hold their positions after a three
hours’ battle. A dispatch says
I Crown Prince] Constantine and
Prince Nicholas fought couragous
ly in the front rank, risking their
lives a hundred times, and that
they had an ovation from the whole
army when the fighting was over.
The goverment has forwarded to
them its warmest congratulations.
The king and the cabinet have also
addressed a manifesto to the troops,
' congratulating them upon their
courage and patriotic devotion.
The public is overjoyed and is
already forgetting the earlier blun
ders of the campaign. A decisive
: battle is expected at Pharsalos to
morrow (Thursday).
According to the newspapers, an
Ohio husband became the happy
father of seven children not long
ago. Os the seven all lived but
one. It is to be hoped he laid in a
supply of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy, the only cure for croup
whooping-cough, colds and coughs,
and so insured his children against
these diseases- For sale by H. H.

An Important Point Decided.
A very important question came
up recently before the Supreme
Court of Tennessee for adjudica
tion. This was the question wheth
er it is legal and constitutional ft r
a lawyer, while making an argu
ment before a jury, to weep. It
seems that a weeper of exceptional
weepfulness had secured a verdict
for his client by means of his weeps,
and the case was taken to the Su
preme Court on the ground that
the jury had been unduly influ
enced by the attorney's brilliant
and mellifluous lacrimosity.
It was, we believe, the first time
this really vital question has ever
been tested in the Supreme Court.
Objections have been taken to the
attorneys smiled at juries to their
manner of hectoring witnesses at
times, and even to the expression
on their faces while a witness was
testifying; but it has generally
been considered that a lawyer had
a right to weep early and often,
and where it would do the most
good with entire impunity. Os
course the decision of the Supreme
Court was awaited with the great
est anxiety by the weepers of Ten
nessee. Would they be compelled
to dry their tear ducts and weep no
more? But the court was with
them, and it has declared that tears
are about the only thing that is
constitutional in Tennessee.
The court prepared a very able
and exhaustive opinion from which
the followingp<issage is taken : “It
would appear to be one of the nat
ural rights of counsel which no
court or constitution could take a
way. It is certainly, if no more, a
matter of highest personal privi
lege. Indeed, if counsel has them
at command it may be seriously
questioned whether it is not his
professional duty to shed them
whenever proper occasion arises
and the trial judge would not feel
constrained to interfere unless they
were indulged in to such excess as
to impede or delay the business of
the court. Some lawyers deal in
logic; others use flights of fancy;
others employ only noise and ges
ticulation, and yet others resort to
well-timed tears.
We are pleased to know that
weeping now has a legal status,
and we congratulate our Supreme
Court on being the first to furnish
it. We know that the hearts of
many of our most eminent sob-ar
tists are lighter on account of the
decision, and we are glad that this
old reliable institution is not to be
abolished. Woepingin moderation
is a good thing and when a man
can make money thereby, it is bet
ter. At any rate it is far prefera
ble to the oratorical howl. —Mem-

Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
From the Fairhaven (N. Y.) Reg
ister.
Mr. James Rowland of this vil
lage, states that for twenty-five
years his wife has been a sufferer
from rheumatism. A few nights
ago she was in such pain that she
was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.
Rowland for the doctor, but he had
read of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
and instead of going for the physi
cian he went to the store and se
cured a bottle of it. His wife did
not approve of Mr. Rowland s pur
chase at first, but nevertheless ap
plied the Balm thoroughly and in
an h /u.Y lime was able to go to
sleep. Shf* now applies it whenev
er she iveio an ache or a pain and
finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicine which she
had used ever did her as much
good. The 25 and 50 cent sizes
