'he summer term of the general sions court for Newberry county ei vened yesterday morning, Judge h trich, of Barnwell, presiding. This fudge Aldrich's first appearance on n bench in Newberry, though he has r n in Newberry before and. has.a s le acquaintance here and numbers o ny Newberry people among his soniAl friends. He comes of a fam of jurists long distinguished in ith Carolina. He is an able and b Lscientous presiding judge, and is ornament to the bench of the te. g t( ;olicitor Cooper handed out a nunr of bills to the grand jury yester morning. udge Aldrich, in charging the e .nd jury, said that under our ad able system which provides that E grand jury shal serve for the ire year, it was unnecessary to b ke any extended charge upon their ieral duties, as he assumed that I already been done. He said the g amer term of court was primarily r the purpose of trying jail cases. F has been agitated very often in general assembly," he said, "to G )lish this court altogether, owing the fact that it is a busy time with Lrly all of our people, but the leg d Lture has never seen fit to pass :h an act, owing to the fact that re tre' more or less prisoners in c the jails of the State for offences . 0 ,t are. not bailable, or who are un e to give the bail, and it - would be natter of cruelty to keep those soners confined until the fall term 0 the court. That being the reason fl y this court has not long since n abolished by- law, I take it to be spirit of the law that this court uld be devoted principally to dis- a ing of cases where the parties are h jail. For that reason I generally ii fine myself in the summer term to t< Lrging the grand jury upon such S s as the solicitor gives out. As I Y , you have been already charged h my predecessor as to your general r< vers and duties, and will be again the fall term. -n While I say this court is primar-a devoted to jail cases, of course the .rt is open for the dispatch of busi s and any business that is brought ore it can be disposed of. But I' alluding to the reasons which i-a me to pursue the course I hav e te and propose to continue to/do." udge Aldrich then took up the s of indictment which had been Lded out and charged the law as to h. In connection with the indict ats charging violation of the dis- h tsary law, he said in part: - I As far back as the memory of manr s the traffic in intoxicating drinks g been a vexed question, agitating e human mind. Various expedientsw ~e been resorted to by the law- n king powers to reduce the evils ri ving from this nefarious traffic. tU haps more suffering has been en- it ed upon the humah race by the~ t o'f intoxicants than from any oth- ol one cause, and the law-making ai rers of all civilized countries have austed their ingenuity to reduce se evils. They can not abolish n, any more than you can blot out g other sin .or crime. Men will cc imit murder, and they will commit b :eny, and they will commit burg- 1c r, and all the other crimes in the Si mndar as long as they are human a] gs, and they will sell liquor at fr same time. All that. our law aims a] is to minimize the evils, reduce el ii withiri the narrowest possible cc t, and in that effort all good men b( t and do lend their aid and their 10 ience to make the law a success. w en we think of the 'disgrace, the th ae, the blood, the tears, the pover :he misery, the various curses that a aw in the trail of this evil, any d .man and every good man will ti: I his aid and his influence to -make T] law designed to better those con cns a success. And it is a bad D 1, a bad citizen, who will know- m .y and wilfully violate that law. It ws that he is willing for the. sake ti i. dollar to bring all these dread W sequences upon his fellowman, :ing soul and body both into niis- Ti for the sake of a few dollars for p. self. That is the kind of man that who violates the law againstLthe a tal sale of whiskey is, and if you W the kind of men that the law says are, good and true men, you willW all in your power to bring just er b. people to justic."

Summer, son of Mr. ad Mrs. C. E. Summer, of this city, as just begun his career as super itendent of the Alexander City co.t )n mill, at Alexander City, Ala. Mr. ummer has had a ripid rise for a )ung man only 23 years old. In fact is success in this respect has been =markable. Immediately upon grad ating from Georgia School of Tech-1 ology two years ago he held his first osition at West Point and later was asistant superintendent of a cotton dll at Montgomery Ala., which posi on he was filling at the time of bis ection to his present office. This is splendid record for a young man st entering upon business life and oints to a high mark of future honoi id usefulness in- the great coinmer-' al and industrial world, to which he Herald and News hopes young uimmer will live to attain. He makes a good start for still igher positions of trust and promin ice, and with his good character anad ~putation there is no doubt he will at them if he lives, as he has already trly shown 'himself capable and orthy. It comes to very few young en away from home to make so ,pid a rise to such responsible posi ons. But after all, in Elmer's case is small wonder, when you reflect tat he is from Newberry and the son a Summer, with uncles, brothers id nephews of that grade. B. F. D.-Committees.
