bluff and rather blunt, unversed
IN courtiership and averse to
pomp and ceremonial. Although
companionable when among his
intimate friends, he not always
lmpresses strangers favorably,
and apparently lacks his fathers
wonderful magnetism, which did
more to increase the friendliness
for Britain abroad than the
efforts of half dozen trained
diplomats.
Many characteristics of the
new king will appeal peculiarly
to Americans. His aversion to
red tape, his desire to curtail
state functions wherever possi-
BILE. and his preference for pri-
vate carriages instead of royal
coaches, all proclaim certain dem
ocratlc simplicity which ap-
proaches nearer to the attitude
OF the average American presi-
dent than perhaps any sovereign
in the world.
CerIaln OF ms qualities appeal
strongly to the British mind. For
years he has taken a conscien-
tlous interest in improving con-
ditlons among the lower classes,
by visiting hundreds of slum
homes with the princess.
If the king has one absorbing
passion it is his love for the navv
and it may be certain that one
tangible effect of his reign will
be constant, consistent inf1u-
ence to maintain a British fleet
the largest in size and the high
est in efficiency.

MYSTERY SURROUNDS THE KING
WHO ASCENDS BRITISH THRONE
Subjects of George v Know Little of
Him, But He Is Said to Be
Democratic. y

The Prince of Wales, who
emerges from the obscurity of a
quiet domestic life at Marl-
borough House to rule the
British empire as George the
Fifth, is a man of whom his
fellow countrymen know prac-
tlcally nothing. Probably no
other British prince ever as
cended the throne surrounded
with such mystery.
When Edward was Prince of
Wales the nation knew his private
as we'll as his public life, his
weaknesses, traits, intimate
characteristics. George V is an
unknown quantity. He comes
reluctantly from a quiet life as
a country gentleman to assume
the crown. Not one man in a
hundred is able to tell anything
about the personality of the new
ruler.
George V, who becomes the
ruler of the worlds greatest
empire at forty FIVE. would
rather command a warship or
collect postage stamps than ad-
minister the affairs of a nation.
He is today undoubtedly the
saddest man in Great Britain,
not only because of the death of
his father, to whom he was
deeply and sincerely devoted,
but even more because he must
put behind him his harmless fads
and hobbies to which he was
hitherto devoted and plunge into
the maelstrom of politics having
at the outset of his reign the
most perplexing and intricate
crisis that has ever menaced
the empire.
In countless ways the new
king differs from the late
monarch. The latter was above
all shrewd tactful diplomatist
and a polished man of the world,
whose suave intercourse with
his fellow monarchs of Europe
did much TO establish existing
cordiality between Britain and
nelghboring nations.
George, on the other hand, is

Memorial Day Exercises.

Wellnigh a half century has
passed since the remnants of the
once :nvincible armies of the
Confederacy laid down their
arms at Appomattox, but time
has not effaced the affection in
every true Southern heart for
the men who wrought nightly,
but alas! vainly, for the cause of
our common country. Every
year fitting evidence of this
affection is shown in the beauti-
full custom of honoring the
memory of the departed soldiers
by placing flowers and wreaths
upon their graves on Memorial
day and in otherwise testifying
to the appreciation of their heroic
efforts to establish permanently
the best government that the
mind of men could devise.
Tuesday was Memorial day and
in Fort Mill, as elsewhere in the
county, the exercises were in
charge of the Daughters of the
Confederacy. The programme as
printed in The Times last week
was carried out. 1t consisted of
prayer, songs and addresses at
the Presbyterian church and the
trip thence to the cemetery,
where flowers were placed upon
the grave of each soldier.

Boyd-Brock Row to be investigated

The first meeting of the court
of inquiry appointed by Governor
Ansel to inquire into the contro-
versy between Adjutant General
Boyd and his assistant, Col.
w. T: Brock, will be held on the
23rd inst. The members of the
court are Gen. Willie Jones, of
Columbia, president; Col. w. w.
Lewis of the First regiment, Col.
Edwin R. Cox of the Second
regiment, and Col. julius E.
Cogswell of the Second regiment.
The court is appointed by
Governor Ansel upon the request
of Col. Brock as the result of
charges against the official con-
duct of the latter by General
Boyd.

a dozen citizens, all of whom
agreed that a plant should be
erected. Finally a resolution was
submitted that the chairman of
the meeting appoint a committee
OF three to secure signatures to a
petition requesting the town
council to order an election pro-
viding for $20,000 bond issue
tor waterworks, the system to
be extended as far as the money
would permit. This resolution
was amended by DIR. J. l..
Spratt, who wished an additional
$40, 600 in bonds issued for street
improvements. The amendment
was killed, as was a second
amendment limiting the bond is
sue for waterworks to $40, 900.
A motion was then made to adj
Journ, and the meeting came to
a close without the committee
being appointed or any definite
steps being taken to secure
waterworks.
1t is understood to be the pur-
pose of those who are urging
waterworks to secure an accu-
rate estimate as to the cost of
the system and to circulate pc
tltions calling for an election on
the bond issue for waterworks
and, perhaps, street improve
ments.

1He Case VI CuS OIdle against
w. H. Windle, well known
citizen of Fort Mill, who was
convicted in the York county
court some months ago of as
saulting Editor w. D. Grist, has
been settled by the payment of
the fine of $500 which was i'm
posed upon the defendant by
Judge Memminger. The case
against Mr.. Grist has also been
settled by the payment of a 500
fine to the Yorkville magistrate
for carrying concealed weapons.
1t will be recalled in connection
with the difficulty between these
men, which grew out of publ
cation of Editor Grist to which
Mr.. Windle took exceptions, that
it was the purpose of the at
torneys of Mr.. Windle to take
an appeal to the supreme court,
but the appeal was never
perfected. One of the grounds
upon which it was purposed
to base the appeal was the
alleged unlawful jury before
which Mr.. Windle was tried.
Judge Memminger had dismissed
the jury engaged in another
case, thereby creating, as Mr..
Windle's lawyers claim, an un-
lawful jury which heard his case.
This opinion of Judge Memmin-
gers action is shared by many
prominent lawyers. The follow
ing is an extract from a letter
written on the subject by law
yer who is known to practically
every citizen in the State:
Once it becomes known to
the jurors throughout the State
that they are liable to be held up
to public ridioule and contempt
through the whim or fancy, or
even a conscientious motive, of
a circuit Judge for not reaching
a conclusion in the jury room in
accordance with the views of the
judge, then we have indeed
taken a long step to the prosti-
tuition of sacred political rights.
The judge on a question of fact
is not by any means as safe as a
jury. Such is the experience
and observation of the centuries,
and the greatest support of the
jury system as the best ever
devised for the uniform and
proper administration of justice
as far as the same is based upon
the determination of a question
of fact. If this new system is
to become generally in vogue in
South Carolina there is nothing
on earth by which its limits can
be defined. If a circuit Judge
has the right to dismiss a Jury
in one case because the verdict
is not in keeping with his views,
then he has right to dismiss
the jury in all cases for the same
reason. The result will be that
when these circuit judges who so
think and act are holding court
in any particular county the
jury will be, naturally, inclined
to pay more attention to what
the judge thinks than the facts
of the case and to be more con-
cerned with rendering a verdict
in accordance with what the
judge thinks than in accordance
with what justice demands. |
regard Judge Memminger's
action in dismissing the York
jnry as one of the most radical,
most revolutionary and most
dangerous attacks that has been
made in this State on the jury
system since we imported it
from England.
