ConstitutiOnality Of Criminal
Court

The constitutionallty OF the County
CRIMINAL Court Of Manry County was
attacked this morning.
The matter came up this morning
wher Mr.. w. g. Rainey appeared be-
fore Special County Criminal Judge,
W. G. Salmon, who had been elected
TO hear the case in the place OF Judge
w. O. Gordon, and moved to quash
an indictment returned against him
for the alleged taking of illegal tolls
on one Of his turnpikes The grounds
on which he rested his motion were
that the County Criminal Court was
an unconstitutional court. for the
reason tnat the constitution provide
that all criminal CAGES must be prose-
cuted BY States Attorneys elected by
rhe people; ana thar the County At
torney, having been elected by the
Guar terly Court, the County Criminal
Court was not constitutional court.
for the reason that part OF the court,
namely, the County Attorney, Is not
a legally constituted officer that the
state has no officer to prosecute it's
cases.
Judge Salmon overruled the mo-
ton TO quash. and took the case mp for
trial. The jury in tn, case Is nov
being selected.

not this year. This Is election year,

How Donaldine Cameron Has Throttled
the Chinese Slave Trade.

How Donaldipe Cameron Has Throttled
the Chinese Slave Trade.
"The slender hands of Donaldine
Cameron have throttled the slave
trade in San Francisco" says Will
Irwin in Everybody's Magazine for
July. "Her raids and her continual
battles have made it improbable as
business. A slave master is chary
OF taking the risks that she has cre-
ated with So, 900 piece of property.
Moreover, there is a clause in the
new Exclusion Act providing that
no woman leading an immoral life
shall be admitted into the country
under any pretext. This does not
cover the whole case, but it helps,
Interested as the people of Califor-
MIA were in the anti Chinese legisIa-
ton, few knew that Miss Cameron
and her sister missionaries were be-
