FEARED HIS OWN RECORD
STRICKLAND CHARGES.
Gives That as Turner'S Reason for
Refusing Joint Debate.

he1usAnE joint DEBATE
Hon. ]. M. Strickland, candidate for
prison commissioner. was at the Pu-
laski House for a short time yester-
day.
He charges that Judge Turner fear
ed to go before the public with his
record as prison commissioner and
would not meet him on the stump in
joint debate.
Mr.. Strickland is opposing Judge
Turner, and believes he will win. He
stated to a representative of the Morn
ing News what he believes to be the
reason for Judge Turner's refusal TO
accept his challenge for a discussion
of questions in connection with the
management of the Prison Commission.
Judge Turner's excuse for not ac-
cepting the challenge, he says,
was that the date of the
ahead, and that he had no time to lose
from his official duties, Mr.. Strickland
said. This reply Mr.. Strickland char
acterizes as folly, saying that the other
members of the commission seem to
have plenty of time on their hands,
one of them now practIcing law in his
home county, and that the third MEM
her of the commission, if he is busy at
all, is busy sending out campaign ma
terial in favor of Judge Turner.
Mr.. Strickland says he has been in
one hundred counties of the state, and
has received such assurances of
support that he believes he will de-
feat his opponent two to one. He saw
several of his political friends while
in Savannah.

night the second performance of Mrs.
W. A. Bishops play, An Evening
With Janice Meredith proved a great
success and quite sum was realized
for the day nursery and home that is
conducted by the Julia Mcleod Chap

portrayed the character of Janice
Meredith and played her part in a
manner that brought several encores.
Miss Moreno Fulford as Mrs. Sid
dons" and Mrs. S. f. Smith as Frau
Beethoven Mozart" also deserve special
mention. All the characters in the play
acquitted themselves well.
The production was a success from
every point of view, and the large
audience was pleased. The singing
was especially good, and a large num-
Der of the songs rendered were en-
cored. Last nights performance was
the second of an Evening With Jan
ice Meredith" and was even more
successful than the first. An effort
will be made to have it repeated again
possibly in the theater.

up to the city council to say whether
such changes will be made in the fire

tinue in business or not. To SAG that
they can build frame buildings outside
of the present limits is simply begging
the question. The limits are so great
that to go outside them would be to 60

with provisions for fire walls between

and render Aberdeen as safe from the

ATTORNEY HOGAN WINS
That Famous Champerty Case in the Supreme
Court,

An attempt 10 invoke the old common
Inv doctrine of champerty in suit for
damages failed in The supreme court in
the case of Paul SHIFTS, appellant, vs..
John c. Hogan, respondent. Smits is a
physician and surgeon and Hogan acted
as attorney in the prosecution Of an action
for damages for malpractice against
Smits in which one Erickson was plain
tiff. The malpractice sui: failed and
Smis brought an action for damages
,ainst Hogan, alleging that Hogan
stirred up Erickson to bring The NAL
practice suit. An alleged chanpertous
contract was set out, by the terms OF
which Hogan agreed to prosecute Elick-
sons case, pay Cou,t costs and receive
one.third of the amount recovered. The
supreme court holds that if the common
law doctrine Of champerty was ever in
force in this state it was repealed by
statute as found in Sec. 5l5G, 2 Bal. Code,
which follows: "The measure and mode
OF chm pensation Of attorneys and coun-
sellers shall be left to the agreement ex-
pressed or implied OF the parties"
the court avoids expressing an opinion
on the relation Of the act Of 1905, detin.
ing the crime Of barratry, to the contract
set out on the ground that the act was
not in force at the time the contract was
entered into. The contract is declared
valid.
Had the law of 1903 been in force when
the contract was made Hogan would
have been liable 10 500 fine, three
months imprisonment and disbarment
from practice in the courts OF this state.

NO HEART IN IT

The attempt to force Coon, candidate
for lieutenant. governor, off the ticket,
has been bandoned, but the fact re-
mains that the republicans never came
before the voters with a state ticket SO
generally dscredited. There is no heart
in the republicans anywhere in the state
to put up a robust hght for it, 1t is gen.
orally believed that the party has been
outrageously betrayed, and that it will
eventually have to cut loose from the
forqes now in control. There is little
objection to Mead, but the interference
OF railroad officials and their too evident
control OF the last convention. is inde'
feasible, and it would be worse than
useless to attempt to offer excuses fol
the work OF that convention. Republi
can newspapers and repu blican leaders
who never faltered during populistit
days, who contended with all the power
and earnestness they could for the great
principles then at stake, and who never
would ialter in defense of righteous
cause, however unpopular, will remain
silent in this campaign, because no 9th
er course is open.-Lincoln Count,
