I Sinn Fein Courts
Irish Republicans Organizing
System of Tribunals
Dublin. August 14?Sinn Fein is or?
ganising under the name of the Irish
Republican government, a supreme
court of appeal which when set up will
complete the system of tribunals so
successful in handling minor disputes
for the pus* montbs. The highest
i Ourt of the British government in
Ireland has virtually (cased to func?
tion because appeals have*been with?
drawn and many litigants decline to
recognise that it has any authority
whatever.
Arthur Griffith, the leader of tha
Sinn Kein in Ireland, told the Associa?
ted Press, that ^t hat not been de?
cided whether & have threo or five
ludges on the supreme bench nor Had
any of the judges been selected.
"Our lower courts h?ve been 1
successful in checking the wave
of crime that was sweeping over
Ireland a few months ago,"
said Mr. Griffith. "Whatever
may be said about the Republic
of 11vian<l by mir enemies it must be
and is admitted that petty crime has
been on the wane all over the country
sinco our courts began to function.
Naturally many cases both criminal
and civil have ISSJSj appealed but we
have no higbei court than a district
court to which* we may lake .them.
Appeal cases am piling up and the
rued of a supreme court is Increas?
ing even/ day.
"We <*o not anticipate any more
trouble with the military ""and police
In holding meetings of the supreme
?ourt than we have bad in Connection,
with the lower ones. Now and then i
an arn.sd fore*? prevents th*'ir being
held but in tbut case thv ? ourt meets
-igain somewhere else. In ro lustanco
have .be troops and police permanent"
ly prevented ca-es from being tried.
Tho plan for forestalling British
ludgOS and courts Js very simple but
quite effective. When court is called
men Summoned for Jury service fail
to appear. Pines up to $F>on have been
imposed on absentees, it the orllcers ar?
rest tbein and imprison ibam they go
on hunger strike and subsequently are
1 a leased hence. British authorities have
tea*ed to use imprisonment a* a moth
od und their courts are rapidly Ogaa,
ing to function.
All officers of the Sinn Fein parish
and district courts are under the ju?
risdiction of the Department of Jus?
tice of ihe Irish Republic.
Fach litigant in a civil action
agrees |0 abide by the decision and
not to take up the OgSS in an "enemy
court," meaning a British institution
In Ireland This agreement and ths
weight Of public opinion constitutes
the power of the new courts in civil
eases. The power In criminal cases
lies with the Irish volunteers, u force
that is becoming less and less secret?
ive in Its activities. The courts are |
held In public halls or In any place
convenient and reports of ths destruc?
tion1 of the court bouses of the Brit?
ish government com?' in almost daily.
Sinn Fein hS>S no prisons. Sentence
In more serious t riniinal cases and the
most decide.!, is deportation, usually:

COLONEL DARGAN AND
MISS TRULUCK SPEAK
_
Speaker of the Occasion Ap- j
peals for Just Place for South
Carolina Heroes
The inni al reunion at Sumter Me?
morial School, near <3tatcsburg, Sum?
ter county, wuh held Saturday and a,
largo crowd was out to do honor to J
General Sumter of Revolutionary
fame. This is an annuil custom in tin
county, many people from milef
around gathering for* an all day vicy
nie near the grave of the Gamecock
leneral at which time speeches art*
made by prominent orators in memory
of the dead hero. Colonel John J.
Dargan is largely responsible for the
keeping up of these meetings. On ac
i count of ill health, he was prevented
from attending the celebrations for
some years, and it was a source of
greed peletliri to his many friends tJ
gys him In good health and at the cer-1
e monies this year. The school house!
was well filled at 12 o'clock at which!
time, Mr. E. I Reardon. of the Sum
tei chamber of. Commerce, called the
meeting to order and. after a few ln
foduetery remarks, introduced M'?-*
Caro Truluck, the home demonstra?
tion agtnt, who was the first speak-1
er of the occasion. Miss Truluck di?
rected her remarks along the line of
improving the living conditions on the
arm. She pleaded with the farmers
to spend a little, less money on their
barns and a little more on their homes,
.the illustrated her remarks with sev?
eral storied of farmer's wives and the
work they had to do and showed how
this Wptk could be lightened by a
little cooperation from the farmers.
Her speech was well received by the
.udietu e. The main speech of the oc
OOOlon was delivered by Colonel Dar?
gan. lie expressed his pleasure in be?
ing among bis friends again. He said
:hat Mr II. C. Brabham from Olar had
beep asked to make the speech but
had boon unable to do so. After telling
the celebration of former years, Mr.
Darjgaii hOSJSjfl his speech along the
lln of South Carolina's pluc in world
history and thr? discriminationfe made>
-gainst her by hiitorians in wrtlng the
record of the nation. ? Col?"nt&? 1>arga?
has devoted his life to the study of
his question and la well qualified to
speak of the history of the state. He
stated that when a young man. he
read a book that stated that South
CarpUng started the war between the
states. This book also stated that at
the battle of Manasses, the South Car?
olina troops ran and hid behind the
Virginians. He investigated the mat
Igy and did not stop, until the book
was changed to 1 rend that General
Hampton's men were two miles ahead
of General Jackson's men.
After discussing the matter of writ?
ing history at some length, the colonel
turned his attention to the Revolu?
tionary war. He devoted some time
ro the memory of General Kunvtcr, re
'calUng Cotnwailis' words, "General
Sumter is the greatest plague in the
country." After telling of his life,
Colonel Dargan then told of bow lit?
tle was known about htm by ?histor?
ians. He also spoke df John Lauren*
Henry Cabot Lodge has written a
Ute of Washington" in two volumes
This piece of work proposed to show
the life of the Revolutionary leader
and to tell of bis friends, but strange t?>
say, one name was left out of the
! book, the name that should huve been
llrgti the name of John LaurenS, the
[South Carolinian. John l^aurens, ac?
cording to Col. Dargan. secured aid
from Fmnos, was largely responsible
for the defeat of England, wrote the
treaty of peace, and still he is not
mentioned by many historians. Wash?
ington said that Laurent had not a
I fault that he could see and also that
I he was inspired by the greatest love
i of country, still Ledge did not men
I I ion him in his writings. He then
spoke of Woodfow Wilson and told of
the Carolina heroes he had omitted
Iron his history. He contrasted
these two men with Robert Winthrop,
from Massachusetts, who gave the
greatest qrtrttt tc south Carollnt when
he was commissi.med by the govern?
ment to *tudy these thing*.
Colonel Dargan stated that ho saw
recently that one oollege in the state
had sent one of her professors off to
i study Assyrian history. He ma le a
ringing appeal to the colleges of the
state to substitute South Carolina his?
tory tor tome of this. II?. then spoke
of the naming of Camp Jackson, In
Columbia. It was Strange that the au?
thorities were not satislb',1 with some
South Carolina name like Sumter. '
Calhoun, Plnckney of Marion, bul had
to name It for Andrew Jackson who
said He had lived in the state. He
told of Jackson*i last momenta when
he said "i have only one regret in
my life, th.it 1 did not hang Calhoun
?is a traitor." When questions as to
this he repeated his assertion and said
he wished he could also hang ail his
followers. "Now." aald Colonel Dar?
gan, "we have the spe, tacle ol the
great* st <amp m the south, lo re in
our own State, and named for a man
that said that our fathers were trai?

??ml early spring the crown Iropped

export trade was nourished. Austrian
factories, famous for eort'ih'forms of

buyers seeing a good business chance
In the -low crown against standard
monies
Manufacturers ward able to get
advances of credit to secure coal and
needed raw materials. It was a good
speculation for foreign values. Then
the Minister of Finance. l>r. ttetseh,
Iropped a hint one day during debate
n the assembly thai it would be wise
If Austrian retail sellers, were to raise
their crown prices to the equivalent
of foreign values. They did it. A suit
of clothes that cost 3,000 to 4.000

up in proport loh.

Appreciation of the monies of the
