Friday, November Fl.

During the recent term of the COM
mon pleas court for Newberry county
we took occasion to comment upon
the fairness and impartiality OF Judge
Memminger, and the manner in which
he dispatched business as rapidly as
was consistent with proper admins
1ration of justice. During the crlml-
nal court which adjourned on We'd
nesday afternoon-a court which was
confronted with the largest criminal
docket which Newberry county has
furnished in a number Of years-the
work was disposed Of in remarkably
short time, and the result OF the court
will have marked effect in the III
terest of law and order in NeWberrH
county. Judge Menminger has MADE
a record in Newberry county when
will have a lasting influence IN the
suppression of crime. Judge Men,
minger, in the opinion OF the people
of Newberry county, is most excel
lent judge.

He,does not know and possibly
would care little if he did know
that the scaffo1d on which he will
die has been erected and that the
rope to be used is now being kept
under strain, that there may be no
mishap in carrying ont the order Of
the court. A scaffold on which a
human being is to hang is a novel
structure, to Saluda people, and
hundreds who come to town look
at it.
The idea has gone out that the
hanging is to be public, in as much
as the Judge, in passing sentence,
said that the prisoner should be
carried to the place Of ''public''
execution 'and there be hanged
by the neck until your body is dead"
The execution will not be public
for around the cheap scaffold which
has been erected there will be
curtain to shut out public view.
So far as is known there is moth
ing being done to obtain respite
for Herrin or to have the sentence
commuted to life imprisonment,
and it now appears that on Friday
next he will pay with his life for
the foul murder he committed.

NEM AppoRrIoNMENT.

The congressional app3rtiOnment TOT
the decade following 1910 inlay be un
satisfactory to the less populOus states.
The rapid increase In population has
already made the lower house OF the
congress unwieldy and there will be a
cause for change next time. The
present apportionment. Is enc member
OF the house OF representatives for
each 10000 inhabitants or major
fraction thereof Under that appor.
tionment Oklahoma has a claim for
ten members OF the lower division
brd Il Is doubtful if there will be such
increase because of the tendency to
increase the number of people for a
district. One New York district has
at present a population OF a Million
and the Mckinley district In Illinois
has at least 100000, as also have two
other districts in that state.
According to the plans Of Congress
men BurlesOn, Democrat, and Dalzell,
Republican, who are at present slated
to arrive at an agreement, the next
apportionment will be a member for
each 250,000 population or major
fraction. This, according to the sta
tisticians, will leave the delegatl7n
about the same as it now is, and be OF
equal service to the people. 1t Is well
known that all the leaders oppose a
house of more than 500 members, and
we would surpass that if the appor'
tonment had the game numerical basis
as is now true.
Under the 250,000 schedule both
Dakotas would lose a representative,
each having two at this time. Mon

schedule 10 three members of the
