Gensuring the Jury.

Last week Judge Buchanan In Spartsnburg
was reported to be severe on one OF the juries
for not agreeing on verdict. and the news
papers say that he cited the great expense Of
the trial as reason for blaming them. The
defendant had been charged with very
grave offense, and a mistrial was entered
eight Jurors being for conviction and four
for acQuittsl.
According to our understanding the ex.
pense Of the trial was not to be considered as
reason either for conviction or acquittal
Ifthe State failed to satisfy the jurors they
did right In not rendering verdict. 1t was
better to make mistrial than to render an
unjust verdict. One popularity about trial
by jury Is, that Jurors who are supposed to
know little or no law, are expected to render
decision in few hours, when judge learn.
ed In the law, in reviewing that decision
will require months In which to render a
judgment.
Jurors may fail to render verdicts accord.
ing to law and evidence. and in which cases
their judgments should be set aside, but the
costs Of trial are not factor in coming to a
decision.
Judge Buchanan Is one o! the best and most
conscientious judges o. the bench and we
feel quite sure that there must be some
mistake in the reports. At any rate, we ven-
ture to suggest tha. udge Buchanan is right
aspften as any ldge on the bench, and we
'wo&d trust hirl.

Pressing the Analogy.

A clever clerk or waitress is often of
great help to an establishment.
A middle-aged woman entered a
Boston restaurant the other day, and
taking seat at the counter, carefully
scrutiDized the bill of fare. She con-
cluded to try an order Of ice cream
pudding, at five cents a plate. After
It had been served, she looked it over
carefully, and calling the waitress
back, said
"Do you call this ice-cream pud-
ding?"
Yessum, and it's very nice, too."
"But where Is the ice-cream ?"
"Oh. that's only the name given
that peculiar make of pudding. We
are making a specially of it. "I'msure
you'll like it when you taste It," at
seems to me you ought to give ice
cream with it, as long as you say 1t is
ice.cream pudding"
-114ye don't give cottages with cottage
pudding,% quickly replied, the witty
waitress. The retort threw the mid
woman into a convulsion of
laughter, and she ordered y second
plate.

The PRINTER Governor Has Plenty OF
Backbone.

We have read with sincere qualification
that part of Governor McSweeney's Message
which treats OF the dispensary. -'..'
Tho recent f1attering reception which had
given to the Governor in bis native city, TO-
gsther with the kindly treatment which had
been extended to him by the opponents oil
the dispensary, backed by evil rumors, had
led us to fear his course in this matter. But
tho Message now before Us strikes square out
from the shoulder, and gives the best evil
denoe OF the Governors manhood and SIM
cerety Of purpose.
Excepting Governor Tillman no man who
has held the office Of Governor has shown
the backbone and bravery OF Governor Nc
Sweeney, and we think he deserves the sup
port of every temperance man in the. State
Speaking for this newspaper we propose to
stand for his reelection. We. are for Mo.
Sweeney against the neld.
Look out now for opposition to him from
those who oppose the restrictions of the dis
pensary law. a.. .,

Fault Finding.

One of the easiest things IN the
world is to find fault with other peo-
ple but how difficult it is to see our
own faults, to understand our weak
points. and to remember that as we
see faults in others they see faults as
bad, and perhaps worse, in us. Let
us be charitable, and do as the great
artist who painted picture of his
monarch. upon whose brow there was
a scar. He placed his king with elbow
resting on table and his head sup
ported by his hand, but with finger
covering the scar. Let us endeavor to
place the finger of charity over the
scars Of our brethren.

Wherever the law has been enforced, the

the restrictions which that law places around
the traffic in liquor.
