JUDGE ROBERT ALDRIcH.

Hon. Robert Aldrich, who came to
preside over the term of the court OF
common pleas which convened Mon
day, is an old school lawyer, who be-
lieves firmly in the idea of upholding
the dignity Of the bench and in trans
acting the business of the court in a
business way.
Judge Robert Aldrich is son of the
late Alfred G. Aldrich, who was judge
Of the second circuit under the Hamp-
ton regime, and who at his death, was
succeeded by his nephew, James Aid
rich. Judge Robert Aldrich was ca
det at the Kings Mountain Military
school previous to the civil war and
served through that war with honor
and distinction.
He said to some Of the lawyers here
few days ago that this was his first
trip back to Yorkville since his school
days in 1859.
Judge Aldrich has the reputation of
running his courts as he thinks they
should be run, without asking or tax
ing any suggestions from interested
sources on the outside, and the un-
derstanding is that he holds lawyers,
Jurors and witnesses down to strict ac-
countability in the court room.
One juror who desired to be excused
from service for good and sufficient
reasons and who was anxious to get of
on the first train leaving for Rock Hill
on Monday morning, called at the
Judges room Monday morning with
proper affldavits and laid the matter
before his honor. Judge Aldrich re-
fused to receive the paper or to discuss
the matter, saying that he did not at
tend to the business of the court out
side of the court room and instructing
the juror to present his petition after
the opening Of the court.
1t ia a fact each judge seems to have
a different rule Of action with regard
to such matters, and the situation
leaves court officials, jurors and others
in doubt as just how to conduct

The judiciary committee of the house
has submitted a special report in reply
to Governor Blease's contention that he
alone has the right to name special
judges. The report is in the form Of
a strong constitutional argument, and
holds that the statute is in accord
ance with the constitution and that the
governor is wrong in his contention. 1t
is understood that the senate has
agreed upon report to about the same
effect The conclusion Of the house
judiciary committee is summed up in
the following: I'VE think that the real
meaning of the section, stated plainly,
that the governor is empowered to ap-
point men learned in the law to take
the place of justices Of the supreme
court and judges of the circuit courts
who are disqualified for any reason
mentioned in the section or who are
otherwise prevented from presiding, in
particular cases, and only for the trial
of such cases, but that the matter OF
appointing special judges to hold eth
er special or regular terms of the cir
cult courts is left absolutely to the
general assembly, and that the general
assembly has properly made provision
for such cases by enacting section 2743,
Vol. of the Code of Laws, 1902, which,
in our opinion, is constitutional. In
our view, if it were not for the provis-
ions contained in said section, there
would be no authority at this time for
anybody to appoint a special judge to
hold special court, or special judge
to hold a regular term when the pre-
siding judge was unable to hold it,"

The Final Payment.-Gov. Blease
wants a monument erected in honor OF
Gen. Mart Gary, who he says was new
er sufficiently nor properly rewarded
for doing his duty in war and In peace.
The name and fame Of Gen. Mart Gary
have been most industriously exploited
for the past twenty years, and every
Gary we ever heard Of has been given
some office or other on the strength Of
their famous kinsman's eminent SER
vices. All the Garys and all their col
lateral relatives, even as far removed
as Gen. Mart's nephews, wife's-cousin
brother in -law's-step son have appeal
ed to the dear people to give them Of
fee as q part payment on the debt Of
gratitude the state owed General Mart
and failed to pay when Gen. M. G. But
Ter was sent to the senate at the time
the said General Mart was a candidate.
Gen. Mart Gary was a gallant soldier
and did valiant service in 1875, but he
had come to believe that the debt Of
gratitude had been adequately dis
charged by the heaped up honors be-
slowed upon those Of his name and
family connection. But II there Is still
due on account q memorial shaft, let
the state hasten to make the last pay
ment and be done with II. Then, per-
haps, we shall hear no more OF the un-
paid debt of gratitude due the Bald
Eagle of Edgefield," and his well de-
served fame will cease to be traded
upon as a political asset.-Sumter
Item.

about getting some other building.
Our headquarters here will be In

will come along just as soon as ar
rangements are made for them, and
their business will be to be as helpful
as they can to everybody who needs
help, especially the friendless and des-
titute. The principal feature of our
work Is to collect funds and clothing
from those who have to give away and
to distribute the same among the poor
and needy. We try to fill a field that
Is not now being filled, and to do all
we can in the work of advancing the
Kingdom of Christ on earth"

Proaress of the South.

All men Of affairs who wish to have
in form handy for ready reference the
facts of what the south has done in the
past thirty years, what 1t is doing now
and what it possesses for greater do
ing will find them in the Manufacturers
Records Annual Blue Book Of South
ern Progress" for 1911. This pamphlet
of Ga pages is the most compact and
convenient source of information about
material development in the south
that has ever been given to the public.
1t is the statistical epitome Of the past
and present of the south, and bristles
with information about the elements of
certainty as to the south's great fu-
ture.
In this comprehensive volume are
the records showing that Al cities in
the south, each now having popula-
ton of more than $4,000, have in the
past thirty years increased their ag-
gregate population from 1,5O6,915 to g.
570,770, or by nearly 1877 per cent, an
index to the growth of industries In
the south, that of 100000 estimated
horse power in southern streams only
about 100000 horse power has been
developed, and that the value of the
cotton crop of the south in ten years
has exceeded by more than $1,761, ,000,-
900 the value Of the gold and silver
produced by all the mines of the world
in the same period, while the value of
exports of raw cotton has exceeded the
value of all the gold mined in the same
time. The cotton crop, with its seed,
now approaches $1,000, 100000 in value
a year, and yet that amount Is less
than 40 per cent of the total value of
all agricultural products of the south,
$3.50, 900, 900, for instance, being the
value of 1,1O4,OOO,O0 bushels of cereals
harvested in 1910. Comparison of the
progress of the south and that of the
country marks the industrial advance
ment Of the south, shown in more ac-
tive cotton spindles in the south now
than were in the whole country in 1880,
in a greater cut of lumber in the south
by more than 5000, 100000 feet, in pig
iron production and in petroleum out
put nearly equal the country's thirty
years ago, and in the greater amount
by 30,000,O00 tons of coal mined. In
crease in thirty years in railroad mile
age from 20,612 to 71,9O7 miles, in the
value of exports from $265, 900, 900 to
s62S, 100000 and in resources of nation
al banks from $I71,OOOOOO to s1,371,-
5000, are among other items treated
in the Blue Book of Southern Prog
ress" by states and in comparison with
the rest of the country.

this issue are the figures of livestock

If South Carolina Is to prosper as
she should the law must govern, and
all people in authority either as off,
cials or as recognized advisers must be
careful to look to the guidance of the
law. It Is a common thing among a
large class of lawyers to use their
knowledge of the law, for the purpose
of circumventing the law. The law
yer who will Intentionally do this is
menace to society. There are newspa-
per editors who do not hesitate to mis-
represent facts to carry their point.
The newspaper that will do this Is no
better than the lawyer referred to-.
Of course there are ignorant lawyers
and ignorant newspapers; but neither
should prevail against the better in
formed classes. The way to promote
the welfare of South Carolina is not
to controvert merely for the purpose
of upholding pride of opinion, or to
gain selfish political advantage. The
public is entitled to the truth, the
whole truth, no matter who it helps
or hurts, and the man or newspaper
that deliberately seeks to suppress the
truth is little better than a criminal.

Speculation az to RaiIroad.-Rumor

Speculation as to RaiIroad.-Rumor
has it that the Chesapeake & Ohio is
deeply interested in the Carolina,
Clinchfield & Ohio railroads affairs at
this time, and there are those who ex-
pect certain developments In the direc-
tion at an early date.
It Is always more or less interesting
to speculate as to the possible align
ment of railway interests, but in the
present situation as 1t involves the
Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio, the Sea-
board Air Line, the Chesapeake &
Ohio, and the proposed interurban
road, there are all sorts Of possibili-
ties for the exercise Of this talent. The
Carolina, Clinchfield G. Ohio was built
and is controlled by people interested
in the Seaboard Air Line; the Sea-
board Air Line has recently made a
very unusual agreement with Mr..
Duke, and his interurban for the ex-
change Of freight; Mr.. Frank A. Van
derlip, president Of the National City
bank of New York city, has become
member Of the board of directors Of
the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio, while
Mr.. McRoberts, a vice president OF
the same institution, Is prominently
associated with Mr.. Duke in the pro-
motion Of the interurban project. 1t
might be inferred from these circum-
stances that there are chances that
the Seaboard, the Carolina, Clinchfield
e. Ohio and the interurban road VIII
become more or less closely allied In
the development of this territory. All
of which looks mighty good for this
section Of the country.-Spartanbu

There Is a proposition before tn

There is proposition before the
general assembly to greatly reduce the
number of exemptions from jury SER
vice. The proposition contemplates the
idea of putting newspaper men on the
liable list. We think everybody should
be liable to jury service except the
lawyers, public officials and possibly
the preachers. We are just a little
doubtful as to whether preachers
should be exempt or not. The main
thing is to reduce the number Of ex-
emptions from the better educated
classes to the lowest possible minimum
And also, the general assembly should
allow the state the same number of
challenges as the defendant in criminal
trials.

in the south, while to all the statistics
of the fourteen southern states have
been added, where possible, the figures
Of Oklahoma and Missouri, without,
however, including them in the south
ern totals.
For each of these sixteen states and
the District of Columbia Is presented
separate table summarizing the facts
of thirty years set forth in the topical
tables. In the statistics generally the
latest and most authoritative figures
available have been used, and where
estimates have been made, the effort
has been to give conservative results.
! For nearly thirty years the Manu-
facturers Record has published as
quickly as they have become accessible
the magnificent facts Of southern
achievement, upon which these latest
and most up-to-date statistics are
based, and has in addition issued fran
time to time more or less elaborate
summaries, which have carried to the
four quarters of civilization the knowl-
edge about the south which has been
so eff9tive in Fastening its material
development. Coincidently the Manu-
facturers Record has furnished in
printed matter or in personal CORES
pondence to thousands Of statesmen,
educators, business men, newspapers
and magazines similar material for
orations, essays, editorials and other
articles, in the desire to neglect no op-
portunity or means of furthering the
work and keeping the south land the
rest Of the world informed of the vast
possibilities within the area stretching
from Maryland to Texas.

all these efforts. Copies Of the AN

Now Science Building For Winthrop.
It looks like the general assembly Is
going to give Winthrop 0,000-$1O,OO0
a year for three years for new
science building. The York delega-
ton Is making a strong fight, and the
sentiment seems favorable.
Attractions at Winthrop.
Those are two great attractions that
are booked for Winthrop college
Creatore's band and Ellen Terry.
Creators band is the lost word in in
strumental music and Ellen Terry has
no equal in the world as an interpreter
of Shakespeare. The people who go to
Winthrop on account Of these enter
tainments will have something to talk
about for a long time to come.
Tho County Commissioners.
The county board Of commissioners
held their regular monthly meeting
in Yorkville on last Wednesday, and
transacted routine business, mostly
with reference to the auditing and pay
ment of claims. The total amount OF
claims submitted for the consideration
Of the board was about $500; but there
was available for payment less than
5000 and only about $3.50 was paid out.
The treasury so far as ordinary county
funds are concerned Is now practically
empty and there will be but little
money available until the approval OF
the supply bill, in which 1t Is expected
that the county board will be author
lied to borrow not less than $4,000 nor
more than $25,0O0 with which to keep
the government going until the next
tax levy comes In.
Ellen Terry at Winthrop College.
Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry:
we think Of them together, as the
greatest English speaking actors, who
for half a century interpreted on the
stage, better than all others, the won
derful plays Of Shakespeare. Irving is
dead, but Miss Terry Is still delighting
her audiences by her characterization
and impersonation Of "The Heroines OF
Shakespeare" Her discourse Is ac-
companied by illustrative acting. Into
one delightful evening she thus COM
presses the wealth Of her experience
and her art, presenting Portia and
Beatrice, Juliet and Desdemona, and,
among others, Imogen, who, Miss Ter
ry confesses, Is her favorite. To hear
Ellen Terry will be the experience OF
a life time. Something to think Of In
after years. The entertainment Will
begin at / o'clock, In order to allow
Miss Terry to take the 9 o'clock train
to Washington. Miss Terry comes to
Winthrop by special arrangement and
will probably appear at no other point
south of Washington.
