. WEDNESDAY, SEPT, 21, 1887 B. S. DINKINS, Editor. Judge Hudson has just concluded a series of articles in the Kews and Cuurier on the criminal jurispradence of the State. Hi exposes the weak ness of the system in a strikingly logical manner, and shows the disad vantages the Staie labors under in prosecuting prominent persons accus ed of the most serious crimes. He recommends the following changes in the law, which he believes will be at least a partial remedy for the present existing evils: (1.) That the office of coroner he. united with that of the leading_ trial justice at each county seort. (execpt in Charleston,) who shall be required to be a lawyer, and that he shall be required to collect carefully the evidence in the eases before him and to prepare the cases for the solicitor: that he sh3ul-d also attend the trial and Pssist the solicitor in the prosecn tion. (2.) That the full pannl of pet*tt jurors be forty-eight. the defendant's right of cial lenge remainding as it is, and the State's challenge being increased to fire, at least. (3.) Thatin trials for capital offences the jury shall not be allowed to sei'arate until the verdict is rendered. (4.) That the Judge shall havethe rightto "sum up"in his charge by a review of the evidence. (5.) That the right of bail to convicts pending appeal be descretionary with the Judges. What Judge Hudson says will have its weight with the people and should influence the next General Assembly to at any rate, weigh carefully the suggestions he has made. He ranks among the abiest judges on the bench, and this fact with the recognition of his extensive experieuce as a jurist, merits for what he has pleased to ad 'vocate, the careful attention of the most intelligent minds of the State. The Constitutional Centennial cele bration was celebrated at Philadel phia with all the pomp and parade the great occasion deserved. Over, two htndred thousand visitors were attracted to Philadelphia, converting the city of "Brotherly Love" into a vast theatre. Saturday the 17th, the president's day," president Cleveland delivered a glowing address on the Constitutioni. He concluded as fol lows: "We stand to-day on the spot where this rising gun emerged fron political night and darknoss andin its own bright merid ian light we mark its glorious way: clonds have sometimes obscured its rays and dread ful storms have made us fear, but God has held itin its course and through its life 9gving warmth has performed this latest .miracle in the creation of this wondrous I land and people. As we look down through the past century to the origin of our Con stitution; as we contemplate its trials and its triumphs; as we realize how completely the principles upon which it is based have met every National peril and every National ieed, how devoutly should we coress with Franklin, "God governs in the affairs of 3men,* audhow solemn should be the re -ection that to our hands is committed this ark of the people's covenant and that ours is the d--'y to~shield it from impious hands. We recive it, sealed with the tests of a century. It has been found sufficient in the past and in all future years it will be forund suffieient if American people are true to their sacred trust. Another centen nial day will come and millions yet unborn will inquire about our stewardship and the safety of their Constitution. God grant that -they miayvfnd it unimpaired, Andas we re-1 joicein patriotism and devotion, like those who lived one hundred years ago, so may others'who follow us rejoice in our fidAelity and ini qur jealous love for Consatutionai - iberty. _ _ _ _ Tere atowy faviigsc n took place at Manning between two editors *on Friday last. One way is to be decent and moderate in language and criticism in the press; and the other is to be as immoderate as youplease, but to treat what is said in a strictly Pickwickian vein.-Yeies and Couri -'And there is still another way, fa miliar to our contemporary. "If I am a liar, you are aliar; if I am a rascal *you are another" This last means, frequently resorted to by our metro politan daily, is nauseating to many of its readers. DE~rH oF WASHINGTO''S NEXT OF KIN. --William A. Washington, up to his death the nearest living relative of Gen. George Washington, and who 'was the last male representative of the name, died at his home in Owensb'oro, Ky. He was 87 years of age'and was in many respects a most interesting character. He was born in 'Virginia, Apiil 15, 1800, and moved to Kentucky when about six ycears old. He was a son of Fairfax Wash ington, second cousin of George Washington, and was the oldest of ten childr'en Railroads-Information Wanted. 1.-.The Eutawville R. Rl. Extension. The last time we heard anything of this proposed Aline, the contract for bridging Santee River had been given out, and the understanding was that work was to have begun at once. Some months have passed and a profound silence on the subject has characteri::ed the operators, if they have done anything. Ii we may judge of what is by what has been, it is about time for President Barkley to stand up and tell us what has been done and is now doing. Railroad men are never modest. "Toot your born," Mr, Barklev, "if 1 on don't sell' a claim," Is your road dead, dying, or only asleep ? Are you comn ing to Sumit.r. or are you not? Leat us hear from you. All that land for your "shops" is here yet-it has riot run away. 3.-The "Three C's" Roud. Information recently imparted is to the ediect that twenty fise yards of iron had ac tually been laid at Caimden on thi big through line to the West. That is not much on a line of 700 miles, but it is astart. If this "lick" is kept up, the "three C's" will get there after a waile. But the absorbing question is where wul it g'-t to? Will it (or they) stop at Camde branch of the S. C. Rl. Rl. or build at line from Camaden, through Sumter to Ch.hae-. ton ? 'They have had a mortgage reicorded in this Counzy and Clatrendon, but it his be-n shrewdl: suggested that that m-ovce~enha been miade ealy to induce the Ke-rshaw peo p~le to sign the bonds they voted fcr wla~e with t uild this re..d, on condition tha te'e to the Sum.ter County line.
