March 19. ltC9 [ It was treely said seven years ago that it would be a cold day when Roosevelt voluntarily gave up public office. And it was! If the National Congress is able to back its resolve by deed, the inauguration day will be changed from furious and fickle fourth ot March to the more placid weather of the last week of April. It is calculated that there have been over a hundred and that there will be a thousand deaths from pneumonia caused by exposure to the blizzard on the day of President Taft's inauguration. President Taft's cabinet is strong on law and it is suspected that he knows some law himself. It is said the new President will make his own policies and that his cabinet will act as general counsel to the administration. It is believed that it will be in a way quite as much a one-man affair as was that of the las! TVcsHer* or different plan. The Preside:; k: ows what lie want? io do.

THAT CARMACK JURY A few weeks ago Senator Carmack one of the ablest and most brilliant men of Tennessee?yea of the South?was ruthlessly shot down on a street of Nashville by the Coopers. The trial of the slayers is now in progress. In selecting a jury over 3,000 jurors from several counties were examined before the panel was complete. The jury as it stands now is composed of 12 of the most ignorant men in Ten-' nessee. Four of them can not even read, two can scarcely understand English and not one of them has read a newspaper since before the killing. "The jury of his peers"? what a mockery! A case requiring] the best trained minds and the clearest knowledge in order to be able to sift out the nuggets of the truth from the mass of evidence to be passed upon by a jury, the only recommendation of which is that it is composed of ignorant and illit-j erate men, is a travesty upon intell-: igent justice! A few cases like this and our much boasted jury system will fall and rightly so. If the selection of this jury is lawful?and it is?then the law is at fault and if it be not speedily remedied our jury system will fall.?Branchville Jury. The Advocate $1.00 I Per Year.
