Now there you are. Anawor thia if you can. You may begin (o ramble and ull about the origin of the jury system, the beginning of the folk meeta, trial by jury an an Anglo-Saxon heritage and then get off into the right or power of kinga to grunt pardona but you Ipive not unawered the ludy'a argument at all. Apd ahe continuea: "If the ayatem pf requiring twelve men to nay a man ahould go to the penitentiary ia right, then the ayatem by which one man can undo the work of twelVe men ia all wrong." The )ady haw no more reaped for the one man In thia matter, even though he be a Governor, than we have. It ia perfectly absurd to think that becauae a man, juat one man, has] been lucky enough to be elected Gov-j ernor of any State, thia one or any other State, that he Is the wisest, aafest and beat all-round man In the State. * There are men on Juries in every county in South Carolina who are the equal in intelligence, in moral standards, In business ability and judgment, in patriotism or In anything else of any Governor the State has had in fcjrty years or as many more as you wish to mention. No one man, as the lady says, should have the power to pardon a convicted man. Few men as Governors want this power. It Is an old and worn-out system. Tho power to pardon should be vested in a nonpartisan or non-political board. It should bo a relief to any Governor not to havo to consider appeals for pardons.?Greenwood Index-Journal.

A cunu In New York suggests the warning statement. A Federal District Judge there,' Judge John C.

The case la an lntereating story of Frank Joseph Hehrlo, Newark business man, who bus spont live yeara and five thousand dollars In tracking down a reputed" international swindler who defraiftled him of seventyseven thousand dollars. That man was Samuel M. Adesku, alias Samuel Alltfh, Mr. Hehrle had the satisfaction of Beelng his man jailed for twenty-seven months In London for the swindle. Recently he cuught up with him again, filed a damage suit for the money and obtained a civil arrest order. Adeska demanded dismissal of the order, alleging it detained him illegally, but Mr. Behrie won again. Judge Knox ruled that a criminal must not only satisfy the obligations of society but also the individual particularly aggrieved. And so Adeska Is In for more trouI bio despite the fact that he served i : ~ ~ 1' - -I? 1 -1.-1 1 ,'g noiuiy throo years in u London, Luglund Jail /or swindling Bebrle out of seventy-seven thousand dollars.
