January. 2ft 1909. = ' 1 After reading Sunday's News and Courier .we can readily understand* why it takes a big battleship to carry Mr. Taft to Panama. Mr. Sbeppard's bill requiring juries to be governed by the majority rule is very good as far as it goes, but if the general assembly wants to improve our jury system let *t adopt the system of drawing jurors from all over the state as is done in the more progressive V^ states oI the north and west. The coualy jury is too much of a family affair. Even love of country is not as strong as the ties of blood and friendship and too frequently : justice is stultified by the personal feeling- of a juror toward a aetena ant. If the jurors were drawn from all over the state there would ba fewer mistrials than if the jurors were bound by the majority rule and certain it is there would be fewer miscarriages ol justice. It is the system of drawing the jurors from nil Over the state that makes the federal court such a terror to the malefactor and such a refuge to the corporator: The one knows be will get just what he doesn t want and the other knows he will get just what he wants?justice. The time has come for a change in the jury system; it is admitted by thinking men everywhere that the present methods of administering justice are imperfect, impracticable. The federal court has proved ' that justice is administered more impartially through the system of selecting jurors frem all over the . state and South Carolina risks nothing in adopting the same system. ' Nothing can be worse than the present system. The people I n~ A IN r .? #?

Trviav the nuniher will nor exceed 111,000. In the meantime the population of Dillon has doubled and quadrupled and there are four times as many merchants asking for a share in that ten thousand bales of cotton as there were seven years ago. True, the cotton mills and several small industries have sprung up, out the amount of new business created by these enter * prises is by no means commensurate with the increase in population and the number of mercantile establishments. Reasoning along this line it is logical to say that if Dillon is four times larger today than it was seven years ago then we should market four/ times as mtsott r%m nra mo rWota/^ aair. SUWVIS WllASIJ 09 *fV UlUIAVbWU " en years ago- But this is not true. We are short 29,000 bales. Now it is up to the business tnen of Dillon, the merchants and property owners, to find out where this cotton is gaing and turn it back to i'illon. If Dillon should market 40,000 bales of cotton and is marketing only 11,000 then the town is losing more than half of what belongs to it. Every bale of cotton that Dillon loses means the lost* of that much trade. Our farilitiM fnr Vianrllinor nnttnn flm tin surpassed in the Pee Dee section and there is no reason why our cotton receipts should not reach 25,000 or 50,000 bales annually. The business men should get together and secure a strong corps of buyers for the approaching season. Every large exporting house in the country should be represented on the Dillon market and the cotton that naturally belongs to Dillon should be turned this way. This is a matter second in importance only to the new county movement. ro* oalk?aciungs 01 genuine Pekin duck eggs. $3.00 per dozen. W. T.
