At the present writing mistrials are wh

a . ? *
We agree with Mr. W. F. Clayton, ^
that, if juries were drawn from i *
the Beveral counties composing a *
judicial circuit that Justice would *
be more evenly administered in the *
trial of criminal cases, but there *
will have to-be a tremenduous awak- $
ening of the public conscience be- *
fore the people will come to realize *
that some such amendment to the ?
existing jury laws is necessary for *
the protection of life and property *
and the preser\ation of society's $
laws. A well known criminal law-! J
yer who once said more depends *
upon the jury than upon the cir-ijj,
eumstanc.es and the evidence in J
criminal trials knew what he was *
talking about. Evidence amounts'
to Yhry little, particularly when it i J
is mostly circumstantial, as is the *
rule in most criminal cases, but ?
the impression the defendant and. $
his counsel make upon the jury $
counts for a great deal. Tampering *
with the jury law is rather haz- *
ardous business, but we believe *
the present system could be
proved upon. *
The offer of Mr. W. M. Hamer,' /
published elsewhere in this issue, *
to store cotton in limited quanti- *
ties free of charge until January X
1st, solves the problem of holding *
for higher prices so far as the j *
small farmer is concerned. The $
$40 per bale which Mr. Hamer J
agrees to advance at 7 per cent, in- *
terest will cover the cost of production
and the farmer will be enabled *
to pay his obligations. He can *
very easily afford to wait three J
months on his profits from the *
crop as by doing so he will be in {
position to take advantage of $
the sham advance** In tho nrico
which are bound to come at Inter- -9>
vals before the first of the year. *
With the present unsettled condi- J
lion of the market there is certain
(0 be more or less speculation.!*
hich at times, will drive the *
price up to new high levels, and
the farmer who stores his cotton *
and waits for these flunctuatlons ?
has the advantage of selling when
he pleases without being forced toj*
sacrifice his cotton to meet press- *
lng obligations when the price is +
below the cost of production. In ?
other words the fanner has every- s'
thing to gain and nothing to losejjt
as It is morally certain that prices
will advance, even if temporarily, i> *
before the bulk of the crop is : i
marketed. ; 1 \
