sEgPLE LARCENY EXPLAINED.

We would bring to the attention OF
cur Trial Justices, for their informa-
ton, the decision of the Supreme
Court as to the legal signifcation OF
the term Simple Larceny,which, here
sofore, has been generally believed to
Be any taking, aninaus .furand', OF
property under the value ofs2o. Now
She larceny attended with asgravatins
circumstances, isa Feloney, though un-
der the vasne ofs2O. The following
extract is hona the decision referred
70, delivered in the. case of the State
vs. Clary.
Our Statute does not make every
petit larceny a misdemeanor. but only
simple larceny, Gen: Stat Sec. 2,49s.
Where therefore the larceny IS aggra-
waited by some special circumstances
which render il compound, the pro
visions of the statute do not apply,
and the offence remains as at common
Law, feloney, and is not reduced to
the grade of misdemeanor.

PROPERTY REPRESENTATION.

& correspondent whose ttsouSuItu
letter was published. yesterday, advis,
es that the Constitution of the State
be so amended that both population
and property shall be. specifically rep,
resented in the State,Legislature, as
was the law in South Carolina from
1908 to 1865. The priuse reason for
the proposition is s necessity Of
projecting the propei7g.hotdiag class
frone the raids ofthose at3lo hace little or
no property, and echo pay 10 tares,
There is great complaint already in
the State on the subject of the Incl
dent of taxation by reason of the in
equality of assessment; # facts count
for anything in political calculations
South Carolina is in danger, as no
other State is, of being taxed at will by
voters who pay no taxes. The plan
which bas been submitted will pro-
tecs the people against this, and no
where is such protection more neces-
sary, we imagine, than in the upper
part Of the State. As well as can be
judged, the majority of the voting
population is to be found in the low
er cou1ties. And these counties, by
-eg5eesentation in proportion to popu-
lation alone, can control South Caro-
lima legislation.
We have no doubt that the propo-
sition to amend the Constitution will
excite surprise, and it is. not unlikely
that needless persons will deride it
and even denounce it, but the white
people OF the Ssate-,he property hold
ing closs-need some safeguard, and
we know of no better safeguard than
that which has been described.-Nescs
and Courier.
The poor3of the State are too large
class to listen, with any degree Of
patience, to the proposition advocated
by the Ne,cs and Ccurier of represen-
sation based on property. Again the

les to receive, with favor, any such
theory, no matter how artfully pre-
sensed. The plan, if effected, would
sfM more unequalize >representss ion
u Colnmbia, aad the opportunities
would be larger for class or local leg
isiation. Charleston, the metropolis,
and dwelling place of the nabobs,
wessld increase her large delegation,
which rs now such .hane to our
Northern neighbors.
State laws, to meet the ends aim
ed at, must eminate from wise heads
OF every interest and section. Let US
not have county representation based
on property valuation, which would
only increase the delegations Of q few
counties, and might, in time to come,

have heard it said that Senator Ed
munds's law fees amount to $50. 900 a
year, and Evarts has the reputation of MAX
ing salary as large as that of the Presi-
dents out of his law practice. None of
the lawyers of the present, however, pre-
tend TO take fees for arguing bills in the
Senate, and it is SAID that some of the
great men of the past did this. Reverdy
johnson took tees as a Senatorial lawyer
and Il United Suites Senator told me the
other day that Daniel Webster used to go
out into the lohbies and get his fee for
speaking In favor of bill and then 90 in
upon the floor and make the speech.
Henry Clay argued many cases before the
Supreme Court while he was in the United
States Senate, and Roscoe Conkling does
a big business now aided by the great in
huence he acquired while he was d politi-
clan. Matt Carpenter was one of the
ablest lawyers this country has ever
known, and ne had big Supreme Court
practice. He made fortune, but he only
left $50, 600 vixen he died. Joe Brown,
the Georgia millionaire, is good lawyer,
but he does not practice before the Su-
preme Court. The bulk of his fortune
has been made by investments, and he
believes that mines and lands pay better
than law business. Alexander Stephens
Was admitted to the bar when he was 81,
and his first year Melted him $40O. He
got single fees Of $4,000 before he died.
and was considered one of the greatest
lawyers of the South Thomas Jefferson
was making $1,000 year at the bar when
he first began to dip into politics, and had
he stuck.to it he would probably have
died worry rich man. Politics ruined
him and he died bankrupt Alexander
Hamilton was a lawyer, and lie went to
New York to practice law after he left the
Treasury. Aaron Burr was one OF the
most money-making Of the la 1yers of his
day, and he made as high as $4,000 in a
single case. Hamilton made $4,000
year on an average, it is SAID, and William
Writ thought he was doing well when his
yearly fee ran as high as $4,000. There
is hardly big lawyer of to-day who is
satisfied with less than $15 900 or $4,000
a year, and the fees of many lawyers
amount to more than the Presidents sal
airy. l saw Ben Butler IN the Streets of
Washington recently in new clothes, and
am told that his professional income is
not less than 100000 a year. Bob
Toomb5 made $50, 900 in the first years
OF his experience, aud John Sherman
thought he was doing well when be start
ed ont as young lawyer and earned $500
a year. Daniel Webster got big fees, but
he always spent more than he made and
he was constantly in debt Abe Lincoln
did well at the law, and James Buchanan
made 1898 in the first year of his practice
and increased this amount in the fifth
year to cover $4,000. In 1921 he made
81 900, but after he got into politics his
practice dropped off TO an alarming ex-
tent.
