WILLIAMS PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN
lDanville Register.)

The retirement of Mr.. Henry G
stuart from the contest for the guber-
material nomination will have the in
evitable effect of greatly enhancing
the prospects of Hon. Samuel w. Will
hams. of Wythe. for the Democrats
nomination for attorney general of
Virginia. Sam Williams, as he is
known to thousands, is a gallant son
OF Pittsylvania who has served his state
and county with distinction in every
capacity in which he has been tried.
He has fought the battles of his partv
on the stump for years and has done
brilliant service in this capacity. Dur
ing the recent presidential campaign he
was one of the two electors ,at-large on
the Bryan ticket.
The fact that Major Anderson will
not aspire to another term as attorney
general and that the southwest has no
candidate for the governorship nor anv
other Office, combine to make MIR. Viii
hams the logical candidate for the place
ne having been a candidate for the
NOMINATION four years ago. So far the
only other aspirant is Colonel Robert
Catlett, of Lexington, an excellent and
widely esteemed gentleman, but the
TACT that Mr.. Tucker, prominent can
dldate for the governorship, and Colonel
Catlett are from the same county and
the same town will initiate greatly
against his prospects. Southwest Vir-
GINA casts nearly third of the Dem
ocratic vote of the State and it has not
been represented on Democratic State
ticket since Governor Tyler was elected
in 1887.
The Fifth district will almost GER
talnly align itself with the Ninth in
support of Pittsylvania's distinguished
son.

JURY SYSTEM BREAKING
DOWN.

Some years back when this
paper had the temerity to score
our Jury system as conducted in
communities of our State some
Z friendly exchanges and persons
took issue with us, to the effect
that such a creed tended to under
mine our system of justice. We
have never faltered in our belief
that the jury system is wrong in
practice 1T took the Strother
and Loving trials in our State
and the Thaw trial i'm New York
to Jar some mOss-backs. Now
the horrible, tragedy in Tennes-
see and the blocked trial of the
Coopers is bringing others to
see how pernicious the jury box
can be made.
The Richmond Times Dispatch,
in commentingupon the Bedford
ID Democrats suggestion that
methods of selecting Jury
should be changed in the interest
OF Justice and common sense"
delivers itself of this wise editor
ial opinion:
The point is sound, The Cooper trial
has been severe strain upon the
modern jury system, as must not rarely
be the case where a crime attracting
their popular interest has been CON-
mitted. Every man of ordinary intel
ligence will naturally have read the
details Of such, talked them over with
his neighbors, and in ninety-nine cases
out of hundred, will have formed
certain conclusions, thereby disqualify.

being thus barred, the lawyers fal
back upon the ignorant and eccentric,
and at Nashville men who haven,
heard that Carmack was dead. O,
who never read thee burned papers,,
are in high demand. Even so, progress
has been excruciatingly slow. Nearly
200 talesmen were examined to secure
the twelfth juror, and now the prose
cutting attorney announces that he will
protest two jurors already accepted as
incompetent.
Doubtless the Jury of the vicinage'
grew out of the primitive English law
which permitted the accused to appear
In court with twelve of his neighbors
who should swear to his innocence
There seems no argument for the sur
vival of it beyond that of economy. and
other considerations are decidedly
against it To avoid prejudices, it
sometimes becomes necessary, as in
Nashville, to accept jurors who are
otherwise not desirable; and at best
the selection of jury under present
circumstances is apt to be a most
tedious process. Various murder trials
of recent memory suggest that statu-
tory law might well supplant the pro-
cedure which the common law now laws
down.
