The Giving of Gifts.

The custom Of giving presents at the
New Year is older than our modern
custom of Christmas girts. In the
middle ages 1t was the common usage
in churches to display boxes for espe-
cially liberal alms-giving. in honor OF
the season. Parents gave their chit
dren, masters their servants and en-
ployers cir apprentices small sums
of money to put in the box. BY and
by the money came to be given In the
form of tips. Boxing day" In Eng
land is still the day following Christ
mas. The boxes very seldom remained
in the hands Of the recipients. Usual
ly they were pasaed on to parents or
sweethearts

FRIDAY, APRIL 8. 1904.
The Jurors.

Judge Ernest Gary's charge to the
Richland county grand jury this week
has elected much favorable comment.
1t is stated that Judge Gary had been
approached by a number of jurors
who offered various excuses for trying
to get out Of jury duty. This suggest
ed to Judge Gary the necessity for
calling to their attention the respon-
sibilities entrusted to jurors and the
necessity of having good men serve
on the juries." Judge Gary. in the
outset, stated his regret to notice
disposition on the part OF some OF our
best citizens to shirk jury duty" If the
system does not work successfully,
said Judge Gary, the fault is not in
the system, but in those who under
take to administer the laws. have
no complaint to make OF the jury sys-
tenn, but l simply desire to urge upon
you the importance of the interests
that are intrusted to you, and let your
efforts be such that at the conclusion
of this court I may congratulate the
: .ople of Rchland county on the Sc
lectin of you gentlemen as grand ju-
rors.",
Judge Gary is right. What South
Carolina needs most today is not
change of jury system or change OF
laws or more laws but a stricter en-
forcement of the laws which we have.
The responsibility of the juror is
great but his duty is clear-cut, for he
is bound simply by his oath. The dis
position to shirk jury duty is wrong.
Upon the jurors Of this country,-the
men whose duty it is to render right
eous verdicts under the laws which we
l,ave,-depends more the future of
this country than upon those who
make our laws.

In this issue OF The Herald and
News there appears an interview
with the Rev. w. L. Seabrook in
which Mr.. Seabrook emphatically
states that he has such confidence in
the integrity OF United States Senator
J. R. Burton that he would not believe
Mr.. Burton guilty of the charge upon
which he has been convicted except
Mr.. Burton himself acknowledge his
guilt. This is very strong defense
of Mr.. Burton by personal friend
and man whom the people of New
berry know personally and who lives
and labors among them Mr.. Sea-
brook is deep student of human ma
ture and, knowing Mr.. Burton as he
does, his words can not but carry
great weight.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1904-04-08

Former President Grover Clevc-
land, according to dispatches sent
from Washington, has virtually de-
clared in favor OF Parker for the pres
idential nomination by the democratic
party. Why now, if Mr.. Bryan has
the interest OF the democratic party
at heart, should he not come out and
declare for Parker? Parker is the
strongest man mentioned for the
nomination so far. OF that there
seems to be little doubt Should Bryan
and Cleveland unite in favor of his
nomination he would receive the nom-
ination and with the two wings of
the democratic party united once
more the democrats would sweep the
country this fall The trouble now
is with Bryan. We are still OF the
number who believe in Mr.. Bryan's
sincerity, but he is very. very stub
born. =.
