Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A gin is not a nuisance per se, even though erected in the immediate vicinity of residences. In this Southern country, filled with a rural population, which prospers or materially suffers in the same ratio that the cotton, one of the controlling products of the world, is productive or otherwise, the cotton gin, one of the greatest inventions of the age, could never be classed as a nuisance without ample evidence to place it in that undesirable class. Usually a cotton gin is a blessing in any Southern community to the farmer and producer, a necessity, and not a nuisance.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““If a citizen builds his house near a railroad depot, in a locality rarely used for residence purposes, but set apart to all kinds of factories, warehouses, and machine shops, he must be content to endure the inconveniences and annoyances incident to such location.””
