SPECIAL JUDGE ACT DEFINED.
Court Finally Settle* Question?Gov
ernor Muit Commission.
The supreme court haw ruled-that
th?, governor must commission spy
clal Judges upon tho recommendation
of the supreme court or tho chief
Justice.
This is the decision made by Ohlel
Justice Jones, Involving n point slm'
liar to tliut which caused the breech
between the Kovernor and the su
preme court and concurred In by the
entire court.
The chief Justice review* the law on
the subject of appointing special
fudges. He discusses the constitu
tional provisions in general.
It was not the question of appoint
ing special judges that was most Im
portant in the opinion. The real Is
oue In the Jdmes Davis casts, which
is the cane in which the decision was
lianded down, was whether or' not the
governor can order a special term ol
:ourt. The supreme court rules that
Ihe governor can order a special term
of court when the solicitor requests It
and whun public policy demands
BUCh.
The particular case In court brought
up the question also whether the spe
cial judge was correctly appointed
Chief Justice Jones says in his opln
Ion that the court knew that J. 11
Marion, the special judge was named
by Governor Ansel upon the recom
mendation of the court.
The appeal to the supreme court
was * made upon the following
grounds.
"That the special judge was with
out Jurisdiction to pubb sentence, be
cause the extra or special term of
court at which defendant was tried
was ordered by the governor, of the
state and not by the chief justice
as required by law.
"Because no legal notice or adver
tisement thereof was given by the
clerk of court as required by law."
This is probably the first rime that
the supereme court has evi r ruled
upon the appointment of special
Judges. ,
This decision goes further than any
other decision by the court in the j
matter of the relations of the judicial
lo the executive departments of the
governor. It means that the orders
of the supreme court must be obeyed
The opinion says: "The authority
for the ordering of a special term of
court and the appointment of a spec
l:i! Judge Is derived from article 3
section 0 of the constitution and the
statutes pursuant thereto. So much
of article 5 section >'> of the constitu
tion as is? relevant to the queuticn is
as follows:
"The general assembly shall pro
vide by law for the temporary ap
pointment of men learned in the law
to hold either special or reguJai
ttrms of the circuit courts whenever
I there may be necessity for such ap
point ment.'
j "The existing statutes on (lie sub
Jeet are as follows: Two code, 1902
| section 28: "Special sessions of the
; court of common pleas or general ses
; sions may he held whenever so or
dered either by the chief Justice or
by the circuit Judge at the tipie hold
j Ing the court of the county for which
the extra term may be ordered, of
which extra term such notice shall be
[given as the chief justice or the cir
cuit judge so ordering the same may
direct. If, such extra term of either
or both the courts aforesaid he order
ed by the .chief justice he may or
(let any one of the circuit judges lo
hold same, but if such extra term be
ordered bv a circuit judge as herein
before provided, then such extra
term shall be held only by the circuit
judge ordering the same.
Section 2743, the section that has
hern brought so much into discussion
recently, then quoted.
This provides for the appointment
of special judges upon recommend a
lion of the chief justice of the su
preme court
Section 274 1 provides for the gov
crnor appointing an ? xtra term off
court wli.-ii public Interest demands!

A Debt of Several Counties.
On a call for funds from the Houth
Carolina Industrial school, Attorney
General Lyon has written several su
pervisors calling their attentions to
amounts owed from their respective
counties for the boys Bent to the insti
tution. An effort was made during
the recent session of the general as
sembly to have the state defray the
entire expense of the school instead of
assessing the various counties for the
boys sent. An Item of $1&,000 for n
new building for the school wa?
vetoed in the appropriation bill aud
the senate sustained the governor.
The list as to indebtedness by coun
ties is as follows: Anderson, $132.03;

The Labeling of Cotton Seed Oils.
B. .F. Taylor, of Columbia, who it*
president of the Interstate Cotton
Heed Crushers' association, has made
a protest to the department of agri
culture at Washington on the requir
ed labelling of cottonseed oils. Corre
spondence has passed between Mr
Taylor, Congressman Lever of this
district and George McCabe, the so
licitor for the department of agricul
ture. The trouble arose over the
requirement that when salad oils are
made out of cotton seed, the pack
ages must be so marked although tin
same is not required of olive oil. Th'e
question affected a large number of
mills in thi* state and in behalf of
the Southern cotton seed interests
Mr. Taylor took up the matter with
the department.

Match-Making a Dangerous Business
New YOKK.?Phosphorus matchcs
kill and maim the meu and ttirls
who make them. The working men
aud girls who are engaged In the
manufacture and the packing of the
ordinary match run a heavy rink of
contracting phosphorus necrosis, and
those who get this disease generally
dlo a horrible and lingering death.
Theuo facta are brought out in the
report of the United Htates bureau of
labor, which recently investigated tho
match induatry.
Phosphorus necrosis, or match poi
soning, attacks tho teeth and jaws.
The teeth become loese and fall out
and the bone of the jaw becomes por
oua and decays. It ia necessary then
to remove large parts of the bone, and
frequently the entire jaw. One man
who worked In a match factory in
Wisconsin had to nave his whole up
per and lower Jaws removed, so bad
ly had the disease attaked him. Then
ho lived for months, taking occasional
nourishment through u tube.
Another case reported by the bu
reau of labor was that of a girl of
14 who went to work packing matches.
The poisonous atmosphere of the place
affected her teeth, and whtu <*be "wont
to a dentist ho found her whole lower
Jaw honeycombed by the phosphorus
poisoning. Abscesses followed and
the child ww unable to eat. Hhu
?lowly starved to death.
Many other cases are cited In the
report. No one who work* In these
factories apparently In Immune from
the disease,^ind sanitary precautions
which have been taken In some of ihe
larger factorleit have been Ineffectual.
The atmosphere must of necessity con
tain the fumes of phosphorus, and they
are deadly.
Not all the men and girls who are
poisoned die, of course. Some of
them check the disease early by a rad
ical operation, having thtlr lower Jaws
removed. Those who are not willing
to be maimed In this way generally
die as a result of absorbing the pol
sona generated by their own decaying
teeth and bones.
The man who made the Investiga
tions for the bureau of labor was Jo>)n
B. Andrews, und so strongly was Pres
ident Taft Impressed by his report
that he recommended tho passage of
a bill to discouruge the manufacture
of phosphorus matches by a heavy
federal tax. Such a bill was intro
duced early In tho session. The match
truBt, however, forestalled the pas
sage of tho bill by withdrawing the
patent on the harmless substitute it
uses In place of the deadly phosphor
ous.
Death Comes to 'Dress Suit' Burglar
PASSAIC, N. J.?Death has endod
tho career of Thomas Wandlass,
i the "white front" burglar, who was
j Bhot and fatally wounded while break
ing Into tho homo of Thomas Tapley.
: a contractor In this city. Wandless
i preferred the underworld to a life of
luxury In the home of a fond and
wealthy mother. Ho developed from j
j a sort of "angel child" to a desperate
, criminal. Paralysis of his vocal -or
! cans shortly after his capture kept
. the police from obtaining any correct
| ed account of his amazing career.
I Jean Mitchell, aged seventeen years,
. who called herself his "chicken stall"
I and assisted him in 22 burglaries, has
i pleaded guilty and will receive sen
i tence. She declares she is eager to
get back to her home in tho New ling
land s,tatC3 as she has had enough of
travel and nice dresses, the bait of
fered -by Wandlass when she consent
ed to become his accomplice:
; The police call Wandlass a "sup
per worker" and a "dress suit burg
lar." He called himself a "white front"
burglar and was. fascinated by the
danger of robbing u house while there
were many persona about. Often he
would stop to listen to the dinner clat
ter before making his escape. Gener
ally he Selected r dark or dimly light
ed parlor, Jimmied the window and
climbed In. During the months that
the girl worked with him he relied
upon her to "spill a faint" as she
called It, and draw tho crowd while ho
made his escape.
Wandlass was about thirty years
old. His mother, Mrs. Augustus P.
Berner, is a woman of wealth and re
finement in Brooklyn, N, Y. Her firft
husband, Wandlass, was a hotel pro- j
prletor and well to do. lie left a i
comfortable fortune, and when he ;
died his son, Tom, was a model young- i
ster and a great church "Svorker. lie j
was precocious, high strung and had |
a vivid imagination.
Just when he became transformed i
Into a "bad* man" no one ficems to ;
know, but he ran away from board In,; ]
school at seventeen and the next his I
mbther heard of him was that he was j
a member of a gang of thieves. He j
was never what might be called a !
Raffles, except that he dressed well j
and committed most of his burglaries j
while clad In evening clothes. He j
was known to the police at Kid How- i
ard and Thomas Hanley and had serv- j
ed time In several penal Institutions J
in the state Of New Turk.
Theatrical Censors in Kansas Towns
T OPERA. KAN.?There are 800 or
ganized cities in Kansas, and every
? one of these cities and towns has a
theatrical censor, especially named to
i watch tho moving picture shows. The
I legislature has passed a law naming
! the mayor of each city, or some per
son appointed by him or by the coun
i cil or commissioners, a moving picture
, censor.
i Tho law provides that tho showing
of any moving or stationary pictures
| displaying actions which would con
stitute a crime if actually committed,
J tho Infidelity or unfaithfulnes of a
: husband or wife or suggestive of in
: decency, is a misdemeanor in Itself,
I and the moving picture show man
i may bo lined from $100 to S50Q for
' showing such pictures.
When the bill came up there was a
question as to how It should be deter
mined whether or not a . picture
came under this classification and
who was to determine the question.
It was suggested that the mayor and
two ministers should be a censor
board in each city, but a number of
ministers protested that they did not
care to attend moving picture shows
for any purpose and had no interest
in seeing whether or not the pictures
were proper. Then a committee of
the mayor and one layman and one
minister was suggested, but this, too,
was unsatisfactory, and it was finally
decided that the mayor of each in
corporated city or/tow ii should be
the censor unless he named another
j for the work.
The censor's word is law. If he
says a picture is calculated to be in
jurious to the morals of the citizens
| or to offer evil suggestions to children,
: the pictures must be stopped. It is
provided that the moving picture man
may collect damages from- the film
exchange that sent him the pictures
if his show is stc;,,,ed.
Girls Make Good in Managing Sports
COMWIBIA. MO?The girls of the
Columbia high school have taken
charge of the school's athletics and
will run them for the remainder of the
school year. They took the reins into
their own handa only after the boys
had made a failure, and have achieved
a marked success to date.
'At the beginning of tho school year
the boys assumed tho management of
the athletics, inasmuch as they did the
playing on the football team. They
were very unbusiness'.iko, however,
nnd, r.! though a number of football
panics were played and in spite of the
fact that the football season is usu
ally a financial success, there was a
deficit of at the close of the ssa
fcort.
J. L. Colonius. instructor in physical ?
culture-, was disappointed with the ?
management of the boys.
"They think too much of taking a '
few trips away from heme in order to j
have a good time, and too little of j
where the expense money is to come j
from," he said. !
At the beginning r.f 11?'? basket ball j
- season Colon;us iiiitia'ed the plan ;
I vwhich put the girls in control, and now
the treasury has enough money in it
to wipe v p the football dellcit and 1
leave ?75 en depr sit. At his sugges
tion, a new athletic association was
formed, to which girls were admitted
upon payment of the "two-bits" initia
tion fee. Neat badges were given to
the members and the girls of the has
ket ball squad conducted a:i enthusias
tic canvass with the result that there
aro as many girls in the association
as there are boys.
The girls are now managing both
tho boys' and girls' basket ball teams
and will arrange tho schedule for tho
boys' track and baseball teams.

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR
"I think the Cuticura Remedies are
11jo best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when It
was real young. Doctor called It baby
rash. Ho gave us medicine, but It
did no good. In a few days the head
was a solid mass; n running sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
Wo hud lo bold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
uore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Home
dies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuti
cura Resolvent, a box oT Cuticura
Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura.
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint
ment. We had not used half beforo
the child's head was clear and freo
from eczema, and it has never como
bark again. His head was healthy
<uid ho had a beautiful h?ad of hair.
I think the Cuticura Ointment very
good fgr the hair. It. makes the hair
grow and prevents fr.lllng hair.'*1

A Woman's Letter.
Women, it is generally admitted,
write boiler letter-; than men.
M. Mircl Prevost has discovered
the reason for this superiority. "The
obvious meaning is never the one we
/should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a veiled meaning.
Woman makes use of a letter just
ah she prrrpTTJ s" a glance or a smile.
In a wav that is carefully thought out,
and with an eye to effect. And, after
a!!, does a woman's hat servo to cover
her head? Does a woman's parasol
keep off the sun? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve to convey her
real thoughts to the person ad
dressed. just like letters of some
honest grocer, who writes: 'I send you
five pounds of coffee,' because he
really does send you five pounds of
coffee?"
Consumption Spreads in Syria.
Consumptives in Syria are treated
today much in the same way as tho
lepers have been for the last 2,000
years. Tuberculosis is a comparative
ly recent disease among the Arabs and
Syrians, but so rapldfy has It spread
that the natives are in great fear of
it. Consequently when a member of
a family is known to have tho disease,
he is frequently cast out and compelled
to die of exposure and want. A Bniall
hospital for consumptives has been
opened at Beyrout under the direction
of Dr. Mary P. Eddy.
Fighting Tuberculosis In Hungary.
The anti-tuberculosis movement
was started in 1894, and in 1898 there
were five institutions for the treat
ment of consumption. Today the cam
paign is encouraged and financed by
the government, and over 200 different
agencies are engaged in the fight. A
permanent tuberculosis museum has
been established at Budapest and a
carefully conducted campaign of edu
cation is being carried on.
