A groat deni bas boon said of lalo about tho imperfections of trial by petit jury, and suggestions have boon mado by tsomo deep-thinking mon who believe that tho existing evils can bo corrected. Certainly trial by jury is the grainiest of all systems ovor devised by man for tho otorminalion of causes, and with ll its alleged imperfections, oven if | ey wero irremediable, it would evor bo abolished by tho Knglish ?-peaking people. Hy it thc people] liavo a voico in the. triol ami doter, initiation of their controversies. Cen turies ago, by tho verdict of juries in old England, many principles of our law and liberty were settled. To-day tho jury system is imbedded in tho ground work of our jurispru dence and its constitution, and it is justly styled tho palladium of all our liborties. Hence, oven tho most ox tromn reformers do not go to tho longth of advocating its abolition. The question is, do the alleged im perfections exist, and if so, is their fr remedy prnot icable ? In speaking of the imperf cotions, oarc should bo taken to distinguish between thc nhuse and tho uso of j this admirable system. If it) sonic instances, in tho hands of incompe tent or corrupt jurors, tho results aro not satisfactory, the criticism should bo of,the persons composing ,tho jury, and not of thc jury system. There never lias been anti never will bo perhaps any system of trial de vised by man that cannot he abused by wicked and designing men. But tako it for granted that the jurors are competent, honest and conscien tious; that they arc "good and law ful men," docs tho system, in ?ts practical workings, interpose any unreasonable impediment to the just and speedy determination of causes?] In criminal trials wc arc unable to soo that it does. When a eilix.cn stands charged with any criminal offence, tho evidence adduced should at least bo suHiciont to convince twelve of his peers of the truth of tho charge, beforo a verdict, depriv ing him of liberty or of life, shouh bo rendered. It is an old maxim of tho law that "it is better for ninety and nine guilty men to escape than for one innocent, man to stilTcr." This is but another way of express ing the old truth that "two wrongs never make a right." The criminal courts are not organized for tho pur pose of securing a conviction, re gardless of tho guilt or innocence of tho accused. Their purpose is lo punish crime and crime only. Tho judicial conviction and punishment of an innocent man would never atone for the crime alleged to have been committed, nor Could h have the salutary effect of deterring evil doers. Should the punishment of an innocent mau bc capital, it would bo nothing short of a judicial murder. Hence we hope the lime may never conic when tho Anglo Saxon race, justly distinguished among tho nations ol' tho earth as the guardians of life and of liberty, will condemn any human being for 'i criminal offence except by thc unani mous voice of twelve o'" ' H ',- peers. ' l>ut in the trial of eau.-..s pertain ing to the rights of property exclu sively, there may bo some reason for adopting the change so zealously ad vocated in our own Stale by Judge Hudson and by eminent jurists in other States. The ability and char acter of these learned lawyers and judges entitle the changes which they advocate to the Culm and seri ous consideration of all the people. In thc trial of civil causes, :i majori ty or two-!' ?rds of the jury lind i Hg a verdict, would often provont mis trials and consequent delays in de termining the rights to proporty. Such a chango might bo tried, nnd if found Unsatisfactory, it would not bo long until thc unanimous verdict would he again demanded. relisions ami Tensioners. The Columbia correspondent of tho News and Co/trio' s: /s that every one in tho State is interested in tho success and workings of the Confederate pensions given by I State to the depend eui soldiers and their widows. All the pension rolls have been received from tho Clerk of Court of tho respective counties, and are now on (ile with Secretary State Marshall. J'Vom tho roll of pensioners now on hand there are 1,082 w ho regu larly receive the pension money. Tho chances are that all of the pen sioners have not yet applied and that tho roll will yet reach 2,000. Tho payment of pensions for this year was begun in February and tho full pension will bo paid until the 1st ol' August, when a small balance will be left, which will bo divided among tho pensioners pro rata for theil' September allowance. As soon as tho nionoy is exhausted payment wi bo stopped until another appropria tion is made. -li lt inuBt bc remembered that the expenses of this year have been ne cessarily heavy because thc Act ci iiib.itdiiiig those pensions for tl'Jb year authorized tho payim it ot $3 por day to each of tho throo mem bers of tho county boards, their ser vices not hoing paid for moro than eight days. Thc pay of those com missioners amounted to $2,460, which was paid from tho #50,000 appropri ated. Next year this expense will not be necessary, as tho work of the commission has been donc. The probabilities are that the pension Joli will number 12,000 next year, and this number will require an appro priation of $72,000 to pay each of them $'1 por month as is intended. It may be stated that these appli cants have all gone through the most rigid examination, and none but tho most deserving are on the roll. Many applications have been refused so as to give place to those ones which were adopted. The laws regulating pensions have been closely observed by the board .in granting the pensions. So it can be seen that hereafter, if thc pensions arc to be kept running for the entire year, at least $72,000 will be necessary. From the pension rolls the jVeicut and Courier representative has made ti summary by counties. It will be seen that Spartanburg beads the roll ?with 103 pensioners. Greenville follows with 12(5, and Anderson comes in for a good third with 123. York, Laurens, Kdgeiield and Oeo nce come next in order named. The Counties willi the smallest numbers of pensioners are Beaufort with 1, Georgetown with 2, Berkeley 10 and Sumter 23. Abbeville, Berkeley and Clarendon each have I negro j tensioner. Two thousand pensioners nt l>60 each would be $100,000, and wo think the Stale can afford to pay that amount lo these destitute and worthy persons. Court ai i'ickens. Court convened al Picketts on Monday of last week, Judge Hud son presiding, and continued in ses sion from day to day until Wednes day al 0 o'clock e. M., when it ad journed. The ease of the State against Henry Holton, one ot' the Central lynchers, was ?iol 2>rosnc<l1 tho other defendants having been either ac quitted or pardoned by the Gover nor. Henry Rosamond, charged with tho murder of Winston Fitts (both colored) on the llth day ol' May last, was tried and found guilty pf manslaughter and sentenced by thc ('oort lo two and one-half years in thc penitentiary. All thc criminal eases ready for trial were tried, which resulted in several convic tions. Judge Hudson, in his charge to the grand jury, recommended that (lu1 court house bc enlarged and otherwise improved. This was a very wise and judicious suggestion. Thc present court room is entirely too small. J migo Cooke, of Creen ville, made application to Judge Hudson on Tuesday l'or a copy ot' tin- indict ment in tht' ease ol' the State against Newton Crenshaw and others* tried in Oeonce, for libel, for (he purpose of bringing an action tor damages against the prosecutors in that case in favor of Crenshaw. Judge Hud: son refused to allow the action ti? bc commenced. Prisse Patches." Theil- an- a number ol' contestants l'or t'it' prize ol' >;;|,01l(> offered by thc American Af/riculturist and thc South Carolina Hoard of Agricul ture for the best acre ol' corn in this yoar bf grace. ISighty-ono live farm ers of the State have entered tho contest for the prize. Messrs. H. F. ICccso ami Wm. A. Lowery, of Oconoe, have o ute red thc list, and wc wish them much suc cess. The Columbia correspondent ol tlu Charleston jpveictt and (fourier. writing on this subject, says: "The prize crops arc saul to bc in excellent condition, and as yet lhere is no telling which is thc best acre. Persons who have seen tin' compet ing corn say that most of the plats have fi om 1,600 to 2,700 stalks to the acre. One field is reported as now having 2,2(11) stalks with an average of two ears tc, the stalk. Those who have inspect }d thc differ ent acres all say there will be a bin yield from each of thc plats. A prominent man who has seen thc acres offers u> bet #60 against thc field that South Carolina will win (he $l,(Mi(i prize. The different con testants need not ho :i( all fearful ol' thc result. They have a .I chance, and thc Palmetto State bas won tho prize before this." A fatal light occurred in Barnwell county la.? week. Joseph Dickson, a white in:.n, had a difliculty with a colored tenant and ordered him to keep away from his house. A day or two afterwards Brabham, thc ten ant, went lo (he house with a pistol and tiring began vigorously and both received fatal wounds. Thc tinto !<? have prevented that terrible ending of a quarrel was at thc beginning and tho while man should have been thc ?.eace-inaker. Barlor/s Crook Locals, _y. li.MITON*8 OHKKK, S. C., July 18, 1889. , DHAK COUHIKH?i Wo had ii torri blo rai? and heavy wind on tho night of July 8d. Gullies became branches, branches creeks and crooks rivers. Tho most damage wo have soon was on tho Thomas Powell faun, where the branch was from hill to hill and carried heforo it fences, corn, and even tho soil, from a good poi lion of tho bottom land. Thc creek through tho farms of Mr. ,1. li. Spencer and Mr. L. T. Jones was very high und both of these gentlemen sufferod great loss to their lands as well as their crops, carry ing away oats and wheat, which had been harvested, and covering up that which had not been mowed. Although it embraced a radius of only two or three miles, tho oldest settlers here say they havo never seen tho streams so high. Small stream only did any damage, as the river did'not get beyond its banks. Crops are looking very tine. Cot ton seems to have overcome thc cold spring weather and promises a full crop, notwithstanding the complaint of no stand. Mr, H. U. Powell reports having found a cotton stalk bearing forty shapes, (bolls and squares.) If the cotton of this section only retains the fruit it now has there will be far above an average crop made.

WOW fill's Honor. IS SUOTOUN LA.W 1TB MUST PROTKO X?ON? When Stun Jones told a Missis sippi congregation that it was all right to shoot tho destrojor of a woman's honor, some people wore shocked, and nn indignant writer in tho New Oi'lonns Times-Democrat declared that Southern womon did not need tho protection of tho shot gun. Tho Memphis Avalanche sides with Sam Jones. In a recent issue it said: "The practico of retailing scanda lous gossip is becoming entirely too common in Memphis, and L it is not stopped somebody is going to got badly hurt. , Tho timo was hero when mon would havo been ashamed to indulge in such talk, and when a broach in a woman's character was usually patched with death-dealing lead. It seems that in getting from traditional Southern customs wo aro also laying aside the Southern ideas of honor and respect for a woman. A harmless word or act of a woman may easily bo reported on tho street corners in such a way as to east sus picion upon her, and a woman once suspected is half -damned. Tho out look at present promises a firSt.olosH killing or two in tho near futuro, and when tho timo comes and thc blood is spilt every right-mindod man and woman in tho community will say it was well spilt. Notwithstanding our "progress," tho punishment for a slanderer of woman in this country is still death. A number of moro or less prominent men and dudes will do well to make a note of the fact." Our contemporary's bold talk will not doubt be endorsed by many of its readers. It is an unpleasant fact that as peoplo learn to value life more they learn to valuo honor less. Before tho war in this section men had to control their tongues or suffer tho penalty. In those days we had no mashers, and the slander ous freedom of speech now occasion ally tolerated was almost entirely un known. The old-fashioned Southerner never thought of appealing to the uncertain methods of the law when a man dealt a deadly blow at the honor of a female member of his family. Something of tho old spirit still survives, but there is a differ ence, and the Memphis papor sadly recognizes it. Despite all tho talk of thc Northern press about South ern lawlessness, the shot-gun is rarely appealed to these days. Men conceal their grievances or go to law. It may be doubted whether we have made any substantial gain by this change. Wo have made human life more secure, but wo have aiso thrown a safeguard around every scoundrel who feels.disposed to be come a scandal-monger. The subject is a difficult one to deni with. One thing, however, is certain-we need a public opinion that will be as powerful a moral reg ulator as thc shotgun was a genera tion ago. If we must suppress deadly weapons, we must find a way of suppressing deadly tongues.-At lanta Constitution. Our Jury System. There has been considerable com ment by the press on the change ad vocated by .Judge Hudson in regard to jury cases. From Ullin almost immemorial it lins been the law and rule to require a unanimous agree ment before a jury could return a verdict, and it has been handed down to us through the observation and experience of ages. Judge Hudson advocates a change of the. law, so that it will require only a majority or three-fourths vote of a jury to frame a verdict. The suggestion ap pears to us in some respects a good one. We would, however, oppose any change in regard to criminal cases. The experience of ages has taught us that it is a safeguard to the innocent charged with crime, and so jealous is the law 111 tho pro tection of the innocent that nothing short of a unanimous agreement will lill its demands. Wc think the (?reenville New* has struck the happy mean in advocating no charge in the system so far as it relates to criminal cases, but a change to a three-fourths vote in civil cases. When nine men are of the s?me opinion in regard to the rights < E property, we think it is a sufficient guarantee that they are about as near right as juries can be. Should they not be, the Judges have ample power to set the v i rd io t aside as they now do frequently in civil cases, and litigants would have al most tho same l ights they now have under thc law. Should the law bo so amended as to make this ol'.ango wc feel sure that it would meet with tho approval of the vast, majority of the people, and in many instances it would be fl great saving of the time of tho courts, besides promoting a more speedy termination of litiga tion.- York Jfaterpriso, WASHINGTON, I).
