A SYNOPSIS OF JTOGE PRINCE'S CHARGE To the Grand Jury of Lexington County, in Which He Advises them as to their Genera! Outies. In the first place Judge Prince read the oath of the grand juror, stating that it was a serious obligation and that they did not perhaps realize the great importance of their duty. He specially emphasized the fact that the grand jury was to present none because of envy or jealousy, and was not to leave any out because of affection, that he would not dwell upon the clause, "not to present any for fear or envy or hatred," because that is notour people's way of sinning. He would, however, emphasize the duty of not leaving any unpresented by cause of favor or reward or hope of reward. That while in his experience on the bench and at the bar, had thoroughly convinced him that justice could not be bought and sold for a price in South Carolina ; yet he was " sometimes constrained to think that justice had been defeated by unconscious affection and favor. That a man who could not lay aside his little prejudices for and against people, and honestly seek the truth in all matters given the grand, jury in charge, was of too small a calibre to discharge j the'duties of that high office, .and if there were any such in this grand' jury, I earnestly call upon them now to at least have manhood enough to disclose their infirmities, and I will cheerfully relieve them from any further attendance upon the court. "That in order to properly discharge the duties of grand juror, a man must be possessed in a very high degree of both physical and moral courage; not only must be thus endowed, but he should be by nature fair and impartial, and possessed of a high degree of common-sense. To Their General Duties. He then charged them in reference to their general duties, reminding " *- ^ C? sOT.n-n/3 ilTCAVB tnem mat mey . were giouu jmuiu not only for the terms of the court for this year, but were grand jurors all the while until their successors were selected and qualified at the spring term of this court next year. That if any should know, or discover, during the year violations of law, it was his duty at the next session of the court'to report the matter to his fellow grand jurors, giving the name of the violator of law and the names of the witnesses by whom such violators might be proved. That it would then become the duty of the grand jury to present the parties so charged . with crime to the Court; that it was not expected that a grang juror should become a spy upon his neighbor or resort to unclean methods to discover the infractions of law, but should only report such matters as came' within their personal knowledge, or of which they should have certain and definite information from a reliable source. That it should be a special duty of the grand jury to present those offenders against our' law who were guilty of such offenses .as were calculated to debauch society and become a stench in the nostrils of a self-respecting community; and yet did not so offend any particular individual as to prompt him to assume tomato.

In ferreting out this crime, I would caution the grand jury to exercise a high degTee of prudence and common sense. It is not to be expected that the grand jury should display in this regard such zeal as would deprive their homes of the usual help; but I would call upon them to ferret out, and present, every case of adultery in the county, where there was an illicit relation between the races. The reason that obtains for passing a law against misegination or intermarriage of races, was much stronger in inducing the prohi * xi _r i_ i oiuon ui tne illicit; seiuai intercourse between the races. "Iti3due to both the white and the black race that each be kept pure and that there be neither intercourse or marriages. It is certainly due to the white race that there be no intermixing of negro blood. I say this with no unkindness to the negro race, for, living been born and reared upon a negro plantation, my feelings for the negro race are most kindly. But I never forget?neither do I permit the negro to forget?that I am a white man and he is a negro; that I am, for that reason, his superior, and will not permit any social equality, or anything that tends in that direction. "Having said this much, gentlemen, perhaps candor would compel me to say, that in the court house and in the administration of law the white race owes it to itself that the negro is fully and thoroughly protected in all his rights to life, liberty and property, and a jury composed of white men who would convict a negro of crime on testimony that would not justify the conviction of a white man for a like offense, would be a disgrace to their race. Justice is blind and recognizes neither race nor conditions, or servitude; nor doe9 she recognize any distinction between wealth and poverty; and he who would minister at her altars, whether as judge or juror, whowould be influenced in his decisions by race prejudice, is so contemptible that he ought to be kicked out of the court room." As to County Officers. The Judge then commented on the duty of the grand jury to examine the county offices, advising them that if the examination was not to be thorough, not to make it at all. Not to say that the offices were well conducted unless they knew that to be a fact after a most thorough and systematic examination. That in making this examination accept no officers' statement for the truth, but verify from the records every statement made. In the examination of the supervisors office, for instance, call for, . and have him to produce, an itemized account, duly proven, of every claim paid by him. Do not substitute your judgment for that of the officer selected for the discharge of this duty, unless he has been so erronious in judgment as to justify the presumption of undue influence or fraud. Observation and experience shows that fullv three-fourths, if not nine-tenths, ot the county officials who go wrong, did not start out with the intention of defrauding the people, and are not, therefore, thieves originally, but through faulty' business methods and bad book-keeping, were unconsciously betrayed into practices that ultimately resulted in ruin to themselves and injury to the county. That it was j only after the discovery of. their lamentable condition that they, through weakness, in order to hide their shame turned thief and undertook to cover ! up and conceal from the public their J defalcations in their offices." Supervisor Should Have Good Judg- j ment. % He specially emphasized the fact that the county Supervisor who was in sole charge, with the county commissioners, of the roads, bridges and other public works of the county and who was the onty officer in the county who could be honest and yet bankrupt the county through bad judgment, received in every county in the State only about one-half the compensation allowed clerk, treasurer or auditor. That these were merely I ministerial offices, and, except the auditor, exercises no independent judgment, their duties being all pre" 1 1 - 1 1CiinAinnarMt SCriD6Q DV law i UUl tiic ou^ci \ ioui lias the disbursing of all county funds and in doing so exercised an entirely independent judgment. This office | demands the highest type of business I judgment for its proper administra- i tion and yet this man, who ought to j the best business man in the county, is paid only about one-half as much j as the ministerial officers mentioned, j "That if you have such a man now I discharging the duties in Lexington j county?I mean one who possesses the } proper qualifications for the discharge j of the duties of this office?it surely ! | j must be that he is a patriot who has j I taken the position because of a feel-1 ing that he must render some service j to his people without regard to ccm< i | pensaticn, or else he must be a man J who is possessed of' an indepen'Je: t fortune and has no need to have any consideration for salary." The same might be said of Superintendent of Education. If he is the man he ought to be, he is the leader of the educational forces of Lexington county. Pie is not only capable to thoroughly examine every class in every school in the county on any and every branch of its studies, but is capable of inspiring the people of his county with lofty ideals along cda ational lines. If the man he ought to be, he i9 capable of creating within the mind9 of the pupils of the public schools an aspiration for things true, - beautiful and good; aspirations for a 1 the best of the past and all the possibilities of the future. If you have 9uch a man now in your employ on the meagre salary allowed him under the law, it must surely be that he now occupies this position because of an intense feeling that woe is me if I do not lend my aid to the educational development of my county. Nothing short of this could induce a man with the proper equipments for this high office to accept the position to which is attached such meagre compensation. I*say this to you not because I think you have the fixing of these salaries, but because I recognize in you leaders in your several communities arid would beg you to exercise your great influence to have their salaries raised to such extent as would be in some degree adequate compensation for the work of a man competent for such positions. The reason we have only girls from the ages of 18 to 25 as teachers in our public schools, is because of the meagreness of the compensation of our teachers. There is not a man who is properly equipped for thorough teaching that cannot in numerous other callings and professions earn from three to five times as .much compensation. -Therefore, the result is that save^tor the few college bred men who teach for a few years while preparing themselves for other I work, we have no men in the school room. About the time a woman be1 j.- ? 4 comes tnuruugm^ ciiiuiciiu m work she relinguishes the teaching cf the many to devote herself entirely to the training of one. I am not criticizing the teaching of the women, for the Lord knows I do not know what would become of these public schools if it were not for these dear girls, | many of whom are very bright and | very efficient. I "If we would promote the highest educational interests of our State, we must raise salaries to such an extent as to make it an inducement for both men and women, who may have special gifts in this line to adopt teaching as a-life work." Rearing to the matter of education | he emphasized the fact that it was the duty of the grand jury to investigate the affairs of every school district in the county; to look into the school buildings and their equipments; and to see whether or not the trustees had. so located those buildings as would afford every white child in the county an opportunity to attend a properly managed and equipped public school. "It shcftld be the duty of the grand jury to inquire to what extent the children or school age are in our put;- j lie schools. Candor compels me to ; say that von need not concern yourself much with the children of the negroes, for you will evidently find' every little pick-a-ninny in the county in some school, while be it said with shame to the white race, there are hundreds of white children in every county in South Carolina who are not only not now in school, but who has never been allowed by their parents the privilege of attending school for even a day. This must be stopped, as white people we must have due regard for the best interests of our State, and of its future prosperity and glory. We must see that every white child in South Carolina has an equal chance with every other child in the State to properly develop all of its faculties, intellectual and moral. It is only in this way that the dominance of the white race can be rightfully and legally maintained. Thus you will see that I am trending to compulsory education. If white parents are either too ignorant or too depraved to procure for their own children an equal chance with others, then it is time for the law to step in and coerce the will of the parent." 1 A j, T> ? opeciai imnouiiuemeiii xvc- i garding the National Pure j Food and Drug Law.
