Tlll'RSOAY, SEPT. 15. 1921.
A |><i 1 lii'tic incident occurred id
tlu? oflice of Ciovernor Cooper a
few ilavs afro which ought to sink
into the hearts of the eriininallv
inclined youth of the State. A
good deal less is heard nowadays
us parental love ihiin was heard a
few years ago when the home
was considered a more sacred ins:
ilitt ion and parents spent more
lino* teaching their ehihiren to
fear (iod. walk uprightly and
eoneern theinsel ves about the
good opinion of tlieir fellowman.
for the letting down in which, he
it said to our everlasting shame
and discredit, we owe to lessons
learned from rotten Kranee during
and after the World war; hut
after all the heart of the parent
worthy of the name goes out as
it always has to the erring child,
no mat ter I lie depth of infamy or
degraijytion into which that child
has fallen. In the penitentiary
in Columbia today there is a
young man facing the electric
chair because lie retuscd to be
guided by the early teachings of

with i iin through lite recollection
of tin- solicitn?l?* displayed
l.v fi'tlnr mi l mother for hi>
welfaic when In- was too young
to strike out in the world for
hiuisclf it never would have come
to pass thai iiis lather found him
self in the presence of the governor
of South Carolina making
the heart-rending1 admission that
nothing could he done for his
sou. Inn asking t he privilege of he
ilig admitted to the penitent infy
to say good-live to that son. Cox
is doomed. With his life lie must
pay the penalty for the part he
took in murdering the helpless
young transfer driver in Lexington
county a few weeks ago;
hut however much the man and
his crime may he loathed, there
is not lacking sympathy for the
lather who sees his son come to
such an ignominious end.
In connection with the murder
charge preferred against "Fatty"
Arhuckle. motion picture actor,
in Sail Francisco, who is accused
o! inflicting fatal injuries upon
a young woman at a "liquor"
party he gave in that city a few
nights ago. there becomes generally
known a provision <?f the
I'alitnrnia criminal code which
denies hail to persons charged
with murder in that State. We
venture the guess that there
is no such provision of law in
iinv of the original States of tin*
American union. Nor should
there he. The common law presumes
every man accused of
crime, even though it he murder,
innocent until he is proved guilty.
Such a criminal statute as
\\e find existing in California, instead
of acknowledging this well
established principle of law.
plaices the defendant at the disad\outage
of having the State say
to begin with that the presumption
of guilt is stronger than
tlmt of innocense and this being
tin- case, it is more than likely if
the defendant is granted hail he
w ill run away and may never be
brought to trial or by sharp practice
may he able to free himself
of the charge. It also places
the defendant at the disadvantage
of being unable to communicate
as freeely as he should be
allowed to with his counsel and
friends and to assist in working
up evidence iu his own behalf.
\
I
| The wonder is that the supreme
court of the United States has
not been called upon to decide
; the constitutionality of the California
statute. We certainly do
not need any such provision of
law in South Carolina, regardless
of the complaint one now ami
then hears against this or that
judge for granting bail to men
accused of murder. It were better
that half a dozen men held on
murder charges and subsequently
I i u.. 4.1 1 la 4i

that out' man wrongfully aecus'
t'?l of the crime and afterward
freed by a jury be forced to lie
in jail awaiting trial with the
State meanwhile saying to its citizens,
"Here is a murderer; it is
for him to prove his innoceiise
and not for this commonwealth
to prove his guilt." That is
what the State ot t atiforuia docs.
HULL LOSES NAME.
"The city of Hull doesn't officially
exist, ' says a bulletin issued
by the National Geographic
society, dealing wuii ilie town in
England near which the United
States liavv s giaiu dirigible balloon
exploded. "Hull is the name
ot a small river eiiiptx nig into
the broad esitiary ot the ilumber,
and the otlicial name of the river
at us iuou.li is tvingston-tipoii1
lull.
"Wrapped up in the name is
the history of a more or less profitable
real estate deal by l\iug
Edward I id' England, who.
though lie conquered Wales by
force of arms, acquired the city
oil the 11 umber by the more
peat eiin process of trailing sonn
oiitly.ng acreage with the liionUs
who owned it. lie had \isions,
which ha\e since been justified,
of (he town's becoming an important
port, and to make the place
immediately more popular with
.enters changed iis name from
Wykc-upoii-lluir to Kingston

of long names seems to
nave sprung up in England as
well as in America, ami the cit\

merely as 'Hull.'

surrounds the old town, so
that a forest of stacks and masts
seems to spring from its Itighvays.
Beyond the chain of basins
is the newer part of the city.

sea. Hut even now Hull holds
second place. being the home port
of the second largest single fleet
of steam trawlers in (!reat Hritain.
It owes its importance in
this respect to its situation, close
at once to coal mines and to the
western end of the I>oggcr hanks
which are to the fishermen of
Knglaud what the Newfoundland
hanks are to those of America.
"In other industries besides
fishing Hull is tied closely to the
I sea. It builds ships and manufactures
sail cloth, ropes, cables
and chains. As a general freight
