Between P these extremes are various phases dflrer d ing in degree and character. You will t e therefore appreciate that problems oi i p srcal.est ditliculty and complexity arise, mnvol vinig oftimes an analysis and com-n. parison of' the objective and subjective v phenomena of a wh>1e lifetime. While ~ therefore, many ol these p)roblems baflic u the jurists andl are incomprehensible to 0 even an enlightened public, still to reach ( stheir solution with certainty one mustb izo through the special study, the wide ' experience,'and tihe close observation oi n e the "Alienist"' and the studlent of mnedi- ' :1 cal jurispa'udence.

A Hard One. COLUMBIA, 8. 0., May 5.-One of the e- strangest phenomena ever reported in this county occurred Wednesday. Mr. B. F. Griffin had in a large field of young cotton on his plantation several ,e. miles from the city. lie reported that at when he visited the fileld yestirday Iemorning not at vestige of his ine stand ie could be seen. Not even a leaf or the :n stem or the stem of a stalk was left to ,. indicata that cotton had ever been Iu planted there. Mr. Griffin can give no ts satisfactory explanation of the occur ais rence unless a minature cyclone struck ry the field during the high wind storm. 3n No sign of such a disturbance could be it seen elsewhere and the supposition is a- that if one rccurred it was just strong .e0 enough to twist away the tender Is plants, but too weak to do any other o damage.
