YT@ dOMAS JEFFERSON, while the
great Democrat OF his era, was
OF rather aristocratic parentage
and had the advantage OF lib
eral education. He was peculiarly,
considering his time and surroundings,
OF the type OF the scholar I'm politics.
That he should have been this and yet
the foremost American radical of his
day marks him as an odd combination
In our history. The turning point In
his career was his appointment TO draft
the Declaration or Independence This
came about from a double cause-,Ief.
fersons reputation as writer of polit-
ical documents aud the Jealousy felt
by certain members OF congress toward
Richard Henry Lee. who had intro
duced the independence resolution.

Dangerous to Monkey with
Jury.

Columbia State: The sup
rene court yesterday rendered
an important decision as to the
punishment for contempt pro-
ceedings following an attempt to
influence Juror In trial.
When the jurors were drawn
in Laurens county for the trial
of Wash Hunter, charged with
murder, Ludie j. Moore and r.
j, Blalock approached J. X
Templeton, juror, and asked
him if he was not friendly to
Hunter and would he not con-
slider this should he he selected
in the trial. Templeton replied
that he knew nothing of tie
case and afterwards reported i,
to the presiding judge who issu-
ed rule tC show cause why
Moore and Blalock should not
be punished for contempt.
The report was made at the
next session before Judge Gary
who imposed fines of $50 upon
each of the men. The supreme
court sustained this fine, hold
ing that any attempt to inhu-
ence a juror even if not within
the precincts of the court was
contempt. The fines, therefore,
are imposed.
