Our Jury System.

There has been considerable com
mcnt by the press on the change adj
vocatcd by Judge Hudson in regard
to jury eases. From time almost
immcmorial it has been the law and
rule to require unanimous agree
mcnt before jury could return a
verdict, and it has been handed down
to us through the observation and
experience of ages. Judge Hudson
advocates a change of the law, so
that it will require only majority
or three -fourths vote of a Jury to
frame a verdict. The suggestion ar
pears to us in some respects good
one. We would, however, oppose
any change in regard to criminal
cases. The experience of ages has
taught us that it is safeguard to
the innocent charged with crime,
and so jealous is the law in the pro-
lection of the innocent that nothing
short of a unanimous agreement will
fill its demands. We think the
Grccnvillc Neacs has struck the happy
mean i'll advocating no charge in the
system so far as it relates to criminal
cases, but change to a three fourths
vote in civil cases. When nine men
are of the samc opinion in regard to
the rights rf property, we think it IS
sufficient guarantee that they are
about as near right rs juries can be.
Should they not be, the Judges have
ample power to set the virdict aside
as they now do frequently in civil
cases, and 'litigants would have al
most the same rights they now have
under the law. Should the law bc
50 amended as to make this changc
we feel sure that it would meet with
the approval of the vast majority OF
the people, and in many instances il
would be great saving of the time
of the courts, besides promoting a
more speedy termination of litiga-
tion.- York Enterprise.

Itsmust be remembered that tho
xpenscs Of this year have been me-

Itmust be remembered that tho
expenses Of this year have been ne
cessarily heavy becausethe Act es-
tabIisiiing these pensions fort IBIS
year authorized the payme ut cfa SO
per day to each of the three Nom
bcrs Of tho county boards, their scr.
vices not being paid for more than
eight days. The pay OF these com
missioners amounted to $2,450, which
was paid from the $50,000 appropri-
atcd. Next year this expense will
not be necessary, as the work Of the
commission has been done. The
probabilities are that the pension roll
will number 1000 next year, and
this number will require an appro-
priation of $4,000 to pay each of
them SO per month rs is intended.
1t may be stated that these nppli-
cants have all gone through the
most rigid examination, and none
but the most deserving are on the
roll. Many applications have been
refused so as to give place to those
ones which were adopted. The laws
regulating pensions have been closely
observed by the board in granting
the pensions. SO it can be seen that
hereafter, if the pensions are to be
kept running for tho entire year, at
least $4,000 will be necessary.
From the pension rolls the Noacs
und Courier representative has made
Il summary by counties. 1t will be
seen that Spartanburg heads tho roll
with 1913 pensioners. Greenvillc
follows with 1876, and Anderson
comes in for good third with 1913.
York, Laurcns, Edgcfcld and Oco-
nee como next in order named. The
counties with the smallest numbers
of pensioners are Beaufort with 1,
Georgetown with 2, Berkeley 10
and Sumter %. Abbeville, Berkeley
and Clarendon each have l negro
pcnsioncr.
Two thousand pensioners nj $50
each would bc 100000, and we think
the State can afford to pay that
amount to these destitute and worthy
persons.

Monday of last week, Judge IIud-
son presiding, and continued in scs-
sion from day to day until Wcdncs-
day at 8 o'clock p. NJ, when it ad-
jolnncd.
The case of the State against
Henry Bolton, one of the Central
lynchcrs, was mol pressed, the other
defendants having been either ac-
quilted or pardonc1 by the Cover
nor.
Henry Rosamond, charged with
the murder of Winston Pitts (both
colored) on tho llth day of May
last, was tried and found guilty of
manslaughtcr and sentenced by the
Court to two and onc-half years in
the pcnitcntiary. All the criminal
eases ready for trial were tried,
which resulted in scvcra! conyic-
tions.
Judge Hudson, in his charge to
the grand jury, recommended that
the court house be enlarged and
otherwise improved. This was a
very wise and judicious suggestion.
The present court room is entirely
too small.
Judge Cooke, of Grccnvillc, made
application to Judge Hudson on
Tuesday for a copy of the indict-
mcnt in the case of the State against
Newton Crcnshaw and o,hcrse tried
in Oconcc, for libel, for the purpose
of bringing an action for damages
against the prosecutors in that ease
i'll favor Of Crcnshaw Judge IIud-

Pensions and Pensioners.

The Columbia correspondent Of
the Neacs and C'Oawicr 81; IS that
every one in the State is Interested
in the success and workings of the
Confederate pensions given by the
State to the dependent soldiers and
their widows. All the pension rolls
have been received from the Clerk
s OF Court of the respective counties,
and are now on file with Secretary
State Marshall
From the roll Of pensioners now
on hand there arc 1892 who rcgu-
larly receive the pension money.
The chances are that all Of the pen
sioncrs have not yet applied and that
the roll will yet reach 1000. The
payment of pensions for this year
was begun in February and The full
pension will be paid until the lst Of
August, when small balance will
be left, which will be divided among
the pensioners pro rata for then
I September allowance. AS soon as
the money is exhausted payment will
be stopped until another appropria-
tion is made.

DEAR CoURlER: We.had a terri
bio rain and heavy Wind on the
night of July 3D.. Gullies became
branches, branches creeks and creeks
rivers. The most damage wo have
seen was OH tho Thomas Powell
farm, where the branch was from
hill to hill and carried before it
fences, corn, and even the soil, from
a good portion of the bottom land.
The creek through the farms of Mr..
j. r. Spencer and Mr.. l.. II. Jones
was very high and both of these
gentlemen suffered great loss to their
lands as we'll as their crops, carry
ing away oats and wheat, which had
been harvested, and covering up
that which had not been moved.
Although it embraced a radius of
only two or three miles, the oldest
settlers here say they have never
seen the streams so high. Small
stream only did any damage, as the
river did,not get beyond its banks.
Crops are looking very fine. Cot
ton seems to have overcome the cold
spring weather and promises q full
crop, Notwithstanding the complaint
of no stand.
Mr.. II. U. Powell reports having
found a cotton stalk, bearing forty
shapes, (bolls and squarcs) If the
cotton of this section only retains
tho fruit it now has thcro will be far
