A moving picture Ih good without translation in every language and lias Juhi as good a market in Houth America an<% Australia ns In France and (lermany. To put the drama of "Atlantis" In ?Jo moving pictures the makers char tered a steamer of 12,000 tons and sent It to Iceland with a crew and a company of 400 to produce the pic ture at a cost of $250,000. To put Forbes-Robertson as Ham ?t on the film cost at least ten times what it ever cost to stage any Hamlet that was ever presented. The makers therof paid $75,000 for tho use of a castle and Costumed about 4 00 people therein, making manufacturing' cost $250,000, but they sold 3.00,000 ft of that film for 25 cents a foot. It cost $236, 000 to make the "Lion Hunt" which likewise went from tho manufactur er at 25 cents a foot for the film. Tho film of Captain Scott In the An tartle cost $250,000- and Mrs. Scott Htlll drawn a royalty on its produc tion in Australia, as well as North and South America. .Her royalty col lected Ih already above the original cost of the picture.

The Caughman trial took up a good deal of the court's time, and was not concluded until yesterday afternoon when the jury brought in a verdict of manslaughter. The irtate was assisted by Hon. M. L. Smith, of Camden, and 1.1. H. Moise, Esq., of this city. Messrs. J. H. Clifton. L. I). Jennings, of this city and Hon. B. Frank Kelly, of Bish opville, represented Caughman, and t Ho case was hard fought from be ginning to end. The address of Mr. Smith was one of the best ever delivered in the court hous. In the Caughman case the sen tence was twelve years. Julian H. Seale was acquitted of the charge of murder, the testimony showing self defense. In the case of \V. 10. Mc Bride, charged with murder, the solicitor asked the Court to direct a verdict in favor of the defendant and the verdict was rendered in accordance. We have heard of congestion of the courts ever since we were knee high to that same old duck, and we have heard of the necessity of extra sessions, and of the necessity of more circuits and more judges, i All the time that we were hearing that. however, we were seeing judges sit down and let lawyers and jurors and sheriffs and clerks of court and witnesses and whoever elese wished to and had a vote de lay the work of the court and so burrow into the pockets of the tax payers. We have heard this week a great deal about Judge Sease, and the fact that sticks out larger than any other fact is that he makes ev erybody hustle. He starts court early, and he runs a full day, and ho has every one on the job while he is there. We would that there were more Judge Seases. ? Sumter Herald. New K-eal Kstatc Mail. Mr. 1,. C.
