The News and Courier OF Mon
day has a timely editorial about
s:Shyster Lawyers" There is no
doubt that the legal profession is
infested with men who are con-
stantly scheming to rob but they
are shrewd enough to avoid the
criminal law. These men make
it a business to pry into the af
fairs of men to create litigation
and Wien they work up case
their client is the sufferer. If 4
layman was to do the things some
lawyers do the penitentiary gates
would swing wide open to re-
ceive them, but having license
to practice law, very frequently
IS a lawyers license to rob.

the gentlemen referred to. Sev-
eral years ago John l.. McLaurin
had advanced ideas on the mat
ter Of a tariff on cotton with 4
view to aid the cotton growers Of
the South. and because he would
not bow the knee TO the then ob-
structionistS, he was bounded out
Of the party. Now what is to be
done with Tillman? The Senator
has virtually given notice he will
rot be run out, and that he will
ask for reelection. Therefore it
is up to The State to do the run
ming out.

POLICEMEN MUST NOT BE RECKLESS.

The trial Of Policeman Bar
wick OF Pinewood in Sumter
last week resulted in surprise.
Mr.. Barwick was a policeman at
Pinewood and in attempting to
arrest a fleeing prisoner he ac-
cidently shot another negro who
was taken to Sumter where he
died. The shooting took place
in Clarendon, but the death oc-
CURED in Sumter, and under the
law the case could be heard
IN either county. We clip the
following from the Columbia
Record of last Saturday:
Sumter, October 25 iSpeciail. The
verdict, reported in The Record yester-
day, OF the jury in the case Of f. NJ.
Barwick, q white man. convicted OF
maoSlaugh.er for the accidental kill
Ing O; one coioced moa while the de-
feldant was shooting 81 aco:her col
o.ed man, shows that in Sumter couc-
" color makes no difference 10 the
eyes OF the jury: but that the law and
the evidence govern the opinions OF
Jurors.
Eacwick Was marshall at Piuewood.
and shot Ct , colored prisoner who had
made break for liberty. His bullets
went ascray and critically inju-ed 3
colored man. The wounded negro was
brought TO Sumter for medical treat
ment and died here. Hence the trial
Sumter county, instead Of Clarendon
county. -here the shooting occurred
While there IS no doubt that many
citizens feel sorry ior Sarwick II his
trouble; while it is true .has he had
40 malice aiorethopght, while the kill
ing Of the bystan6er was uoincentioca!,
nevertheless the criminal carelessness
displayed could no. be overlooked oy
the conscientious jury.
The verdict shows another important
thing. ie means that, in SlDter coun-
sy as least, all men must stand equal
before the law, and that white man
has no immunity for the killing or in
iaring OF q negro except in self-defeose.
or II accordance with The unwritten
law FOR the protection OF his home and
his family.
It also teaches another lesson, that
officers Of the law vested With author
isy and permitted 20 go armed must
exercise every preca2tion tor the pub
lie safety, and jurors oy their verdict
have as good as irt!maced that = co.,
ored mans life IS as sacred IS y white
mans, Il the colored man be 3 law
abiding and inoGensire citizen
There has been much talk and much
written in the papers for years about
the custom OF juries turning loose white
men for killing negroes in cold blood.
Eus IN the Sarwick case there was no
cold -b!oode6 murder done. The killing
might be called acc:2enLsl II you like,
but any way uni- territorial 50 for IS tie
man killed was concerned"
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1909-10-27

The verdict in the Bigham-
Avant case meets with general
approval. While there seems to
be mystery surrounding the
case a majority of people agree
with Judge Watts that there was
nc intention on the part of Big
ham to murder his wife, but that
both Bigham and Avant were
either scared or ratified and were
reckless in the handling Of the
gun. It is right that punishment
should be meted' out to both OF
these men.

Mrs + T. Minis of Edeefeld

Mrs. J. L. Minis OF Edgeteid,
vice president Of the ". c. T. e.,
suggests that the gentlemen who
will lunch with President Taft in
Columbia, turn their glasses
down as a mark OF respect for the
Presidents total-abstinence
views. The President is only on
probation now. and it would be
hard on some of the Columbians
that we know to have to pay SO
for the privilege Of munching an
olive, and doing without a drink,
only to learn that Willie has tall-
en- of the water wagon. Presi-
dent Taft did remark that he
would not take stimulants while
occupying the executive chair,
bat we have no idea be would
run from a glass of wine at a Co.
lumbia luncheon which the guests
are assessed SO a plate to pay.
It is enough to drive him to
drink.

TEE ,usIEs ARE ROT ALWAYS TO BLAME.

OF late there has been a whole
lot Of stuff in the newspapers sug-
gesting an Improvement Of the
jury system, but We have not yet
seen where any OF these reform
ers have suggested anything
practical to prevent the miscar-
rage Of justice. These writers
assume that because . case fails
Of conviction when the verdict
should have otherwise, the fault
is always with the jury, but it is
not so. as we have observed a
number of times. The iuries
sometimes fail to do their duty
bat it is more frequent that the
failure Of justice comes from the
witness stand. How IS a jury to
convict with the testimony
AGAINST conviction. Hon. J. P.
Mcneil Of Florence has an article
IN The State in which he makes
the suggestion that jurors oe
drawn from the circuit somewhat
Ike the jurors In the federal
courts are drawn now, and
there is no doubt that Mr. Nc
Neil,s idea have some merit in 50
far only however, as to have the
jurors removed from local iniu
ence, but whether it would give
sany better verdicss is another:
matter. Take the Federal courts
wsth jurors from everywhere exs
5cept 1he defendants home and We
venture to say, in a case iuyolv
ingaperson ofprominence, espec-
tally the juries failas often to con-
vics as they do in State courts. In
both courts the accused must be
tried according to the law and the
evidence, and II the witnesses
give false testimony, whether it
bein the State or Federal courts,
the irries viii not convict and
jnstice fails, not from any failure
OF duty on the part Of the jury
but because the evidence they
had 90 act on would not justify a
conviction.
Now If the newspapers that
would have justice mesed oGt to
every man can devise some
scheme to prevent witnesses from
preinring themselves We believe
they viii solve q perplexing prob
len. We contend that an injus-
ice is done the ayerage juror
