A |><i 1 lii'tic incident occurred id tlu? oflice of Ciovernor Cooper a few ilavs afro which ought to sink into the hearts of the eriininallv inclined youth of the State. A good deal less is heard nowadays us parental love ihiin was heard a few years ago when the home was considered a more sacred ins: ilitt ion and parents spent more lino* teaching their ehihiren to fear (iod. walk uprightly and eoneern theinsel ves about the good opinion of tlieir fellowman. for the letting down in which, he it said to our everlasting shame and discredit, we owe to lessons learned from rotten Kranee during and after the World war; hut after all the heart of the parent worthy of the name goes out as it always has to the erring child, no mat ter I lie depth of infamy or degraijytion into which that child has fallen. In the penitentiary in Columbia today there is a young man facing the electric chair because lie retuscd to be guided by the early teachings of IM> I >il r< 'I II K. I 1 J| I I I), h (?\ ?*. 41*riiii with i iin through lite recollection of tin- solicitn?l?* displayed l.v fi'tlnr mi l mother for hi> welfaic when In- was too young to strike out in the world for hiuisclf it never would have come to pass thai iiis lather found him self in the presence of the governor of South Carolina making the heart-rending1 admission that nothing could he done for his sou. Inn asking t he privilege of he ilig admitted to the penitent infy to say good-live to that son. Cox is doomed. With his life lie must pay the penalty for the part he took in murdering the helpless young transfer driver in Lexington county a few weeks ago; hut however much the man and his crime may he loathed, there is not lacking sympathy for the lather who sees his son come to such an ignominious end. In connection with the murder charge preferred against "Fatty" Arhuckle. motion picture actor, in Sail Francisco, who is accused o! inflicting fatal injuries upon a young woman at a "liquor" party he gave in that city a few nights ago. there becomes generally known a provision <?f the I'alitnrnia criminal code which denies hail to persons charged with murder in that State. We venture the guess that there is no such provision of law in iinv of the original States of tin* American union. Nor should there he. The common law presumes every man accused of crime, even though it he murder, innocent until he is proved guilty. Such a criminal statute as \\e find existing in California, instead of acknowledging this well established principle of law. plaices the defendant at the disad\outage of having the State say to begin with that the presumption of guilt is stronger than tlmt of innocense and this being tin- case, it is more than likely if the defendant is granted hail he w ill run away and may never be brought to trial or by sharp practice may he able to free himself of the charge. It also places the defendant at the disadvantage of being unable to communicate as freeely as he should be allowed to with his counsel and friends and to assist in working up evidence iu his own behalf. \ I | The wonder is that the supreme court of the United States has not been called upon to decide ; the constitutionality of the California statute. We certainly do not need any such provision of law in South Carolina, regardless of the complaint one now ami then hears against this or that judge for granting bail to men accused of murder. It were better that half a dozen men held on murder charges and subsequently I i u.. 4.1 1 la 4i vunviuicu ue ^nimvu uiiu mail that out' man wrongfully aecus' t'?l of the crime and afterward freed by a jury be forced to lie in jail awaiting trial with the State meanwhile saying to its citizens, "Here is a murderer; it is for him to prove his innoceiise and not for this commonwealth to prove his guilt." That is what the State ot t atiforuia docs. HULL LOSES NAME. "The city of Hull doesn't officially exist, ' says a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society, dealing wuii ilie town in England near which the United States liavv s giaiu dirigible balloon exploded. "Hull is the name ot a small river eiiiptx nig into the broad esitiary ot the ilumber, and the otlicial name of the river at us iuou.li is tvingston-tipoii1 lull. "Wrapped up in the name is the history of a more or less profitable real estate deal by l\iug Edward I id' England, who. though lie conquered Wales by force of arms, acquired the city oil the 11 umber by the more peat eiin process of trailing sonn oiitly.ng acreage with the liionUs who owned it. lie had \isions, which ha\e since been justified, of (he town's becoming an important port, and to make the place immediately more popular with .enters changed iis name from Wykc-upoii-lluir to Kingston ipon-i nut.
