One of the most senseless contro- versies-if the esteemed contempora- ries will excuse that designation-that we have lately noticed has for some time been going on between The Nor folk Landmark and The Columbia State over the orthography of Japa- nese proper names. Each can produce plenty of authorities to back it up, and neither can convince the other. Both of them ought to know that there is not and cannot be any iron clad rule for names written in foreign languages. and especially when writ ten in Japanese. Chinese. or Russian. own spells.

dead English sparrows which had been drowned during the night. They were gather up and counted and the number amounted to 7bs. This Is something new in the way of bird destruction. That birds may be beaten down and drowned by a heavy rain is possible. of course, but such a wholesale de- struction of the little sparrows must be unusual.

It is the rule which Is to be ones right to appeal in such case depend upon his ability to produce $500. No such incident should be per mitted to occur in any enlightened

 The News evidently takes the same view of the matter that The Adver- tiser has expressed. Of course all courts must have some settled rules of procedure and practice. else no bus- mess could be successfully conducted in them. but 1t does seem wrong that poor man may be unjustly punished merely because he has not money enough to get his case before a higher court That is not the equal and exact justice that we all favor

 It is bad enough to know that it's pesky little skeeter which spreads such terror over the South and which endan- gers your life, but that is better than to have one of those microbes which cannot be seen except by a powerful satisfaction of knowing that you can slap at a mosquito and that Is better than having little bugs you cannot see hiding all through your anatomy.

A GREAT POSSIBILITY,

Again has the Wizard of Electric ity,"fas Edison is often called. prom ised the world one among the most desirable of all the many wonderful uses to which the subtle fluid has been put. This new invention is to be a practical storage battery for vehicles of all kinds, and he promises to have it on the market within two months from date. He declares that its use in place of horses will cut down the ex- pense at least 5S per cent. ..-4
 It is known of course. that stor- age batteries are not entirely a new thing They have been known for many years. but so far a thoroughly successful one has not been made All of them have had defects which pre-" vented their popular use. and the pulp lie will await the new development with no little interest for 1t will prac- tically revolutionize the transporta- tion business. The same thing has been promised before. not once but several times, but so far success has not followed the promise.
 We are not among those who be- lieve that the horse will be speedily put cut of business. All kinds of au- tomatic carriages must necessarily be expensive, for time at least, and there are men who will not adopt any substitute for good horse. even at less expense. But while this Is true. and while it will prevent the horse from being completely put out of bus mess. there can be no doubt about the popularity of a thoroughly effective and reliable auto-carriage. Hardly any one is pleased with gasoline as
 
 !. odor and other disadvantages, and they will be glad of cheap and re- liable substitute. and one that will be safe and easily controlled.
 Another advantages that electric power will have over those now in use is its lack of noise. The contin- ued "chug-chug" of the ordinary auto is annoying to those who ride, and has an undesirable habit of frighten- ing horses. If a satisfactory electric motor can be devised it's use. in con- nectiou with the ruber tires so uni- versaliy used. will cause these vehicles to travel with as little noise as a bicycle now does. In fact. there are so many advantages, real and possible in connection with such an invention that they can hardly be imagined or enumerated, and all will wish that Ed ison's predictions and promises may speedily materialize.
 Of course it Is possible that the great inventor may be deceived. If we are not mistaken he has promised something of the kind more than once before this, but there has always been some hitch in the working out of his schemes. He is probably the most thorough adept in practical electricity now living. as well as the greatest in- ventor. He has already given to the world a number of discoveries that seemed impossible before he made them plain, and it may be that he will make good" in this instance. If he does 1t will give a great impetus to the horseless carriage industry.

GOVERNOR CARTER
WANTS TO KNOW
WHY DID THE JONES MURDER
TRIAL COST SUCH A LARGE
SUM?

Governor Carter has received and
answered a letter from Circuit Judge
Robinson on the subject of appropria-
tons for court expenses. The judge
called attention to the fact that the
Jones murder trial cost $3,963.55, out of
the courts expense fund and said that
the Naone trial would probably cost
$1,000 extra. He therefore asked for
an appropriation of $4,000 extra, to
cover the expenses.
In reply the governor says that he is
astounded by the statement of the cost
Of the Jones trial, and continues as
follows:
zone of the comments often heard in
relation to matters Of American juris-
prudence is the great cost of murder
trials, the long delay, and the arduous
duty Of jury service, and these are in
some communities the causes which re-
suit I'm lawlessness, by bringing about
the feeling that the people had best
take the law i'm their own hands.
Certainly under the present practice
and laws of the Territory, the judges
have wide discretion, and If those re-
sponsible for the conduct Of the courts
cannot curtail unreasonable delays and
lavish expenditures, it will inevitably
result in a restriction of the power
which every law-abiding and self-re-
specting community believes should be
given to the judges.
Respect for law is a marked charac-
teristic of American citizenship, and
intelligent people naturally hesitate i'm
expressing disapproval of the actions
of any court, as it detracts from the
Difference which all feel is due to them.
/ believe public opinion i'm this commu-
nifty approves of the wide latitude al
lowed the judges, but, on the other
hand. desires that this discretion,
should be used with some regard for
the taxpayer.
Facing a shortage of ready money
and the necessity for issuing warrants
and i'm view of the economies practiced
in other departments of the Territory,
the simple statement that this expen-
diture has been incurred is not sufIi-
cient to warrant the administration I'm
recommending this appropriation OF
$4,000. Kindly furnish a statement of
why the case lasted so long, and the
details Of expenditures, by which the
expense Of boarding and lodging the
| jury amounted to $2,2lS25."
