E JUDGE RAM AGE 18 VERY HUMAN
TYPE OF EXCELLENT JURIST
* " ?
A different type of Judge from any
r of the other* cowing here to hold
? court Is Judge C. J. Karaage, now on
the bench her?,*,Ho 1* human, that
he Ih surcharged with personality
B which Is In aoUbrt' evgry minute, on
or off the bench.
He 1m u very learned Jurist, the attorneys
hero way, and thin has been
recognized several times by him being
called to serve as a temporary
. i associate Justice of the supreme court.
. j Hut the layman Ih most Interested
, ! in the personally of Judge ltumage.
, It Ih ho great and complex that It
. can not be defined In a sentence, any
, more tliun can humanity itself. <j
; He Is a large man, and his deep
, legal learning is camouflaged by the
Jolly manner large men uro apt to
have. He has hud a reputation for j
telling Jokes, hut on his arrival hero
he said that he has stopped telling
Jokes and gone to reading the Bible.
But while the Jury for the lit si trial
of the term was being drhwn by the
clerk, Judge Humugo went down to
tiie lawyers' table and told u funny
one about a red lioud?ending by saying
he is very fond of red, headed people.
And within the uuuiu second that
the clerk had completed the jury
drawing, tho Judge was Hying buck
to the bench, his black gown flaring
out like wingH, and court business
wus not delayed u split second by
thut human Interest conversation with
the attorneys.
As a judge, he bus no tangents upon
which his mind, ulways logical,
runs, and his only obsession Is to
keep the court moving rapidly all
the time. As cause or effect of this
habit, ho likes to got back homo from
court in other places, and he wastes
no time loitering after the cases on
the docket are disposed of.
Ho is remarkably quick in every action
of his body as well as of bis
mind. He flashes back rulings on evidence
during a trial very quickly, and
there is no argument after he Iras
made a decision on u point of law.
But with this rapidity there is always
perfect surenesa and lucidity.
His instructions to juries are composed
so completely and simply, that
any lay jury understands the law he
I Is laying down, when he sends them
I to the Jury room. And on or oil' the
bench he never seems to forget the
I least detail of his thought, and lie
expresses in . language precisely what
he intends every time.
i On the bench, Judge itaniage looks
like a judge ought to look, in the
opinion of those who like to visualize
types. Above his black gown is a
large head, very bald, with a round
| lace, with an iron gray mustache on
j the upper lip. He wears a black bow
tie.
And that face expresses the real
man. The eyes are keen, penetrating,
and constantly seeing everything in
the vicinity. The whole face is alert,
reflecting every single item in tho
surroundings, and Judge itaniage
would never miss something within
his view, physically or mentally. Even
the uld routine of monotonous formalj
ities in court ho observes like a man
I vitally interested in the proceeding.

Audubon's Drawings
| Columbia.?Audubon's "Birds of

i the most valuable single work in the
| Cnlvprsity of South Carolina library.
Its estimated worth is $S.u00, aecord,
ing to K. M. Kennedy, I'niversity li;
brarian. If the plates making up the
| publication were sold separately they
would probably not $20,000.
Presented to the university by the
state legislature, the works consist
of four volumes of plates. The volumes
are a part of tho first elephant
folio edition of Audubon's "Birds of
America," published in Loudon, 13271X38.
The rarity of this work of
America's foremost ornithologist came

COMMENTS ON MKN AND THINGS
/*> .
(By Bpec tutor)
Vemu aK<> our fathers lived in a
Hurt of swashbuckling epoch. 'Hie gocalled
beet man won. Mometlmes the.
winner won by trickery, imposition or
fraud; but however he may huve won
he wore the laurels of success and
people bowed and scraped to bitn.
That swashbuckler method wua true
in many relationships. Many meu of
large business Interests were rascals;
and many men of email luteroHte were
raacule. When it comee to rascality
ulmoet any email community hue Its
full quota of uhudy people, though
they operute on u emull ecale.
It need not surprise ue, then, that
investigators can bring to light muuy
deale and detaile of more or leee
crooked taint; but that la no reaeon
for euddcnly cruuhing neceeeury. business
today,
Wo are ail familiar with the etory
of the Chinaman who net lire to hie
catie houee eo ae to roaet hie pig.
liurnlng down one'e home to rouet a
pig or kill u rut ie expeneivo and
foolleh. So it ie that in harrying our
big bueiueee concerns we are almost
burning down the houee in queet of
a rat.
What would become of Greenville
or Spartunburg if the cotton mills up
there should go out of business? What
would bo the effect if those mills wore
removed to Alabama? Would that
be a profitable experience for those
progressive and delightful towns?
Would that be for the betterment of
our state? On the other hand, would
not our low-country towns be happy
to get a few cotton mills? By the
way, the low-country is getting paper
mills. How happy they are! But
that is our road to progress; we must
have industries.
At ouo time we aimed constantly
ut railroads and we developed such
a sure aim that you couldk throw a
jock in any direction and hit a ruilroud.
We nearly strangled the railroads
to death. Now -we are sharpening
our knives for the utilities. We
almost seem to forget that utilities
were built by private enterprise and
with private capital; we seem to forget
that utilities serve customers,
most of whom are not complaining.
Most of this furore about the utilities
is something the politicians have incubated
.and hatched for the sake of
something to say.
Are we victims of the utilities? I'm
not, for 1 can still buy oil and use1
a good lamp. 1 have done it and I
enjoyed a good light. Are the big
business concerns victims of the utilities?
Well, have you noticed that1
many big concerns generate their own
power? They don't fear the utilities;
in fact they don't even do business
with them at all.
'I wo big paper factories have come
to South C&roliua. They will not buy
power from any utility; they will generate
their own power. Do you know
that the big paper mills can generate
their power for less than the utilities1
can sell it to them? Why? Because
the man or concern who' generates
his own power does not pay the pow-1
er tax. If he bought the power from
a company he would have to pay the
tax through the power, company. By
generating his own power lie saves
the tax.
As more factories install their own
generators what will become of tho
power companies? They are facing a
keen and resourceful competition just
as tlie railroads have in the buses ami
t rucks.
'1 he governor's suggestion that the'
highway patrol and the State consla- f
bulary be merged as the nucleus of
a state police system is sound. I '
think he might go somewhat further
in .that direction, for that alone would
be just a small beginning, though it i
has the merit of recognizing a problem
and offering a constructive re-!
commendation. The suggestion that
the sale of licenses be concentrated
in one office is, of tjourse, sound; and i
the proposal that all funds be hand-!
led by the state treasurer and accounted
for as one general account
is timely.
_?Now that these concrete proposuls
are being studied over tho week end
I think the most urgent point that
could bo studied is that of relieving
J the taxpayers. It Is so astounding as
to be lncredltible that up to this
moment our statesmanship lias not
grasped the need of reducing school
district taxes and other local taxes.
This does not necessarily presuppose
a reduction in salaries; but it should
contemplate first and foremost tlia
condition of tho citizens who are
struggling to hold or to buy homes.
Our national leaders are concerned
over the growth of farm tenancy and
town renters. It is being recognized
that our social stability Is dependent
on people owning their homos and
farms. A foot-looso people don't build
towns or communities. All of us
know that It is choaper to live as a
tenant than to meet the obligations
of an owner. This is one of the unsettling
factors of our present-day
condition. Furthermore, we would
do well to call a conference of our
business leaders, a few men from
*
i ? ?
each branch of business, to study a
plan for the rehabilitation and development
of our state.
We live, in a keenly competitive
day and should look forward to providing
employment for those who live
here now and their sons. I say it
with the greatest appreciation of our
public men that their thought seems
to be on spending, not on earning.
If we have the problem of providing
more generously for our schools and
at the same time a more pressing
problem of relieving our taxpayers,
that is just about the sort of problem
which our manufacturers met so
successfully and thereby began the
economic recovery. We have in our
general assembly and in our public
offices many men of first-rate ability.
If they would devote their best
thought to the problems of a more
productive use of our resources our
condition would be improved. 1 don't
mean to increase taxes; I mean to
increase the earning power of the
people so that the cost of government
would be distributed among more producers,
And by so much be less burdensome
to industry and to home and
farm-owners.
Our memory is short; perhaps
that's a good thing;-but it comes aljnost
as a shock to read that 5,377
banks are still indebted to the R. F. C.
What was the real condition of oiir
country1 iu^ March 1333? The railroads
also owe many millions to the
R. F. C.
Since the R. F. C. was created it
lias lent $11,376,180,999.00 to save the
business of the country.
Even in South Carolina we aro borrowing
millions for our homes?and
other causes; thirty-two million dollars
being spent in this state In 1936
for relief and work relief. The President
had allocated about sixty-two
millions to South Carolina and fortynine
millions was spent on all forms
of Federal aid between April and DeI
cembor, 1936, in South Carolina.
How's that for a prosperous state?
More government money being spent
in this state in the prosperous year
(5f 1936 than the total oost of state,
county and municipal government in
j South Carolina. Yet there are those
} among the gladsome spenders who
think the depression an incident of
' the long ago! Simply that?and nothj
ing more.

Reports Theft Of
$250,000 In Gems
New York.?A 04-year-old man who
lived on home relief told police last
week his only friend had stolen $250,000
worth of diamonds from him.
He remained silent for six months,
he t?ald, feariiiK he would he dealt
with severely for accepting |16 a
week from the relief bureau when he
hud auch a hoard of precloua stones.
Finally, in desperation he went to
a Brooklyn police station and told the
ntory. He said he was Joseph Hose
and dcMcribod himself uh a retired
diumond dealer.
1/niis Gorellck, 32, the friend he accused,
wuh arrested on u charge of
grand larceny pending an investigation.

Hose said he sepuruted from his
wife about seven months ugo. Fearing
she might attempt, to attach his
wealth, which he had couverted into
diamonds when he retired two years
ago, he said he took the gems from a
safe deposit box and buried them behind
the home of his father,. Isaac
Justerman, 94, at Freehold, N. J.
Then to create the illusion that ho
wuh a pauper, he said, he returned
fo New York, moved into a cheaply
furnished room and applied for home
relief.
