COSTS MONEY TO WIN.

REGULAR Law That Governs Conn
pensafion of Justice Court Jurors.
The fact that a jury in Magistrate
Nathans' court spent several hours in
a futile effort to solve a case on trial.
got no supper and received no remun-
Grafton Thursday caused considerable
comment yesterday. In all cases tried
in justice courts the jury is not paid
unless a verdict is returned, and in that
event the person winning the suit must
pay for the services of the jury.
The law governing juries in justice
courts is rather peculiar one, and
frequently hardships are encountered
by plaintiffs. In the event that a
plaintiff secures Judgment against an
insolvent defendant, it costs him $1.25
for the service of, the jury. This mas
happened in several cases. Several
months ago judgment for 81 was Sc
cured against negro, who paid that
sum, but declared that he did not have
money enough to pay the costs of
court. The plaintiff was compelled to
add % cents to the dollar he received
from the defendant and although he
won his suit he lost a quarter. In
cases where verdicts are returned in
favor of insolvent persons the jury has
to whistle for it's money.
In all civil suits where the amount
involved does not exceed 500 justices
have jurisdiction, and a large number
of civil cases are heard in the magis-
trate courts. Under the law all such
suits are heard by the justice, and in
the event of an appeal from his de-
cision the case goes to a jury of five.
Each magistrate has a jury list con-
tanning the names of those citizens in
his district whose names are on the
jury list of the Superior Court. The
names are drawn from the box as in
the higher court and out of nine names
drawn, five are chosen by the contest
ants. No provision is made for feed
ing jury, and it is the custom when
it is seen that a jury cannot agree to
declare a mistrial without much de-
lay. 1t is very seldom, however, that
a Justices jury fails to promptly agree
upon a verdict.
The statute governing the compensa-
ton of such jurors saws:
1.-The compensation of jurors for SER
vices in Justice Courts shall be as fol-
lows: For each verdict, the jury MAX
ing and returning the same shall be
entitled to the sum of 81 rs, to be paid
by the party in whose favor the YER
dict is rendered, and divided equally
among the jurors, and taxed in the
bill of costs, and said jurors shall not
receive further compensation. !"

Their Benefit in Savannah.

Their Benefit in Savannah.

the use of the pupils. which have been

The decision was reached by the
teachers of the schools, after the meet
ing of the normal class. The little
libraries that have been established
have been already of great benefit to
the pupils, and with the additions the
school authorities hope to make their
usefulness will be very largely in
creased.
Most of the teachers of the schools
were present at the meeting, the de-
cision to issue the invitation to Mr..
Graves was unanimous, and all of them
seemed anxious to enter with enthu-
siasm and zest in the project. to the
end that the attendance upon the lee
ture will be large and the financial
returns correspondence helpful.
The lecture MIR. Graves VIII pc asked
to deliver has not been selected, but
if he has finished his preparation of
that upon Aaron Burr the choice will
probably fall upon this. The life of
Aaron Burr was one of the most ro-
mantle in the history of this country,
and under Mr.. Graves Skilful touch its
incidents of failure and success, of
large attachments of finally shattered
hopes and disappointed ambitions.

DOES THIS CLIMATE CHANGE?

During the several very hot sum-
mers recently past there was a theory
not infrequently ventilated that this
climate in American cities had radio
ally changed, and that hereafter very
hot summers would follow each other
without break. There was no escape.
The general use of electricity Was do
ing the business, says a writer ia Bran
dur Magazine. How electricity was do
ing it or why | do not recall hearing.
but that was the all-sufiicient eXplana-
ton. l venture the opinion that not
one in ten of the men and women who
talked this nonsense had more than the
faintest idea of what electricity is. But
they were cocksure of the souudness of
the theory. The summer of 1902 has
Knocked all semblance of integrity out
of these unbaked theories and left us
wondering whether there ever was sucn
weather before. Probably there has
been, and possibly not. l do not pre-
tend to know, and | am not old enough
to remember the rigors Of that famous
1916 when there was frost in every
month in the year. But | should not be
astonished to live long enough to expe-
rlence such a summer and to hear my
good neighbors attribute 1t 20 every
thing from a changed climate to the re-
venge of an angry Deity. AS a mat
ter of fact | suspect that the climate
has not changed, but is always chang
ing, swinging like a pendulum back
and forth; not, however, with the same
simple regularity, but in some eccen-
trio fashion which as yet we do not
understand. These remarks do not
mean that the climate and the weather
are beyond the comprehension of men.
Not at all. | believe that after these
things have been under trained obser-
walton sufficiently long time the pres
ent mysteries will be cleared away, and
that we will understand much better
than now many of the things that battle
us. believe it quite possible that we
may not only be able to tell what the
morrow will bring, but that to some
degree at least, we may be able to con-
troll it. At present, however, the old
wife in the country, the wiseacre in
town, and the government observer are
pretty nearly on Il par.
