failed to do So. 1t is contended that
this was error. While this specific
statement was not made to the Jury
in the charge, it was manifest to the
jury by the ruling Of the Court and
the charge as a whole that Davis
should not be convicted unless he was
found guilty of the crime charged i'm
the Indictment.
No doubt the omission to charge
specifically on that point was a mere
inadvertence, and was not deemed of
sufficient Importance by defendants
counsel to cause him to call the
Courts attention to the. omission.
The judgment of the Circuit Court
is affirmed and the case remanded for

Am st Rep, b30, as shown by the
cases cited in the note at page 439.
This brings us to Section 4,744, un-
der which Governor hnsel acted in
ordering the special term in question.
This section, as we construe it. makes
if the duty Of the Governor to order a
special term upon the existence of
certain conditions viz. the applica.
ton Of the solicitor stating that the
public interest demands an extra
term of the Court Of General Ses-
sions in any county of the State, or
upon the application Of the majority
of the members Of the Bar of any
county stating that the civil business
demands an extra term of the Court
of Common Pleas, and just as imper-
atively the Governor is required to
appoint as special Judge the person
learned in the law suggested or recon-
mended by the Chief Justice An ap-
polntment of any person as special
Judge without the suggestion Of the
Supreme Court or Chief Justice under
this secion would be void, as in the
case Of an appointment under Section
2,743, without the recommendation of
the Supreme Court or Chief Justice.
Judge Marion Correctly Commits
stoned.
The case states that application for
the ordering of the Court was made
by the solicitor. which was in COM
pliance with the requirement of the
statute, but does not state that the
Hon. j. Fl. Marion was recommended
for appointment as special Judge, by
per authority, but the presumption
would be that the Governor did his
duty and that such recommendation
by the Supreme Court or Chief Jus
tice had been made This Court,
however, knows that the Hon. J. II.
Marion was duly recommended to
Governor AnseI by the Chief Justice
for appointment as special Judge to
hold said special Court. Hence our
conclusion is that the Court was or
dered and the special Judge appoint
ed and commissioned by due author
ity of law.
The question is whether the failure
of the clerk to publish formal notice
Of the Courr in a newspaper vitiates
such Court. We are bound to pre-
sumo, in the absence Of any thing
TO the contrary, that the requirement
of Section 2,744, above quoted were
complied with, that the proper au-
thorities were notified by the clerk.

attend, that the petit jury was drawn

Columbia, March 4.--The Governor
must appoint special Judges upon the
recommendation of the Supreme
Court or the Chief Justice.
This is the emphatic statement
made by Chief Justice Jones, in an
opinion handed down today, involving
a point very similar to that which
has occasioned breach between Gov
ernor Cole l.. Blease and the Supreme
Court.
The whole law on the subject of
appointing special Judges. from the
constitutional provisions to the stat
utes pursuant to those provisions, is
gone into by Chief Justic Jones.
1t was not the question of appoint
ing special Judges that loomed up in
the opinion. but of especial moment
Is the obiter dicta of the Court on the
matter. The real issue in the James
Davis case. which is the case in which
viz uSSiSioh was udilueu uOWn, was
whether or not the Governor can or
der special term Of Court. The Su-
preme Court rules that the Governor
can order a special term of Court,
when the solicitor requests 1t and
when public policy demands such.
The particular case in Court
brought up the question also that the
special Judge was correctly appointed.

that the Court happens to know that

was found guilty.
Motion was made In arrest Of judg-
ment upon two grounds: 1st, that
the special Judge was without juris-
diction to pass sentence bacause the
extra or special term of Court at
which defendant was tried, was order
ed by the Governor of the State and
not by the Chief Justice as required
by law. 2d. Because no legal notice
or advertisement thereof was given
by law. The motion was overruled
and defendant was sentenced to be
hanged on the 9th day of December
1910.
Defendant now renews his point
that the Court was illegally constitut-
ed and the sentence void
The facts upon which the conten-
tion is based are thus stated In the
case: That said special or extra
term OF Court was ordered by his Ex-
cellency NJ. f. Ansel. Governor Of
the State OF South Carolina. upon the
petition OF the Hon. r. A. Cooper, So
licitor OF the Sth circuit, and not by
the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State Of South Caro-
lima.
THAT no formal notice Of the hold :
ing Of said Court was published by
the clerk Of the Court in any newspa-
per, but the published notice was
what appeared as a news item and
not signed by any one"
The authority for the ordering Of
special Judge is derived from Arti.
Gle 8. Section OF the Constitution. and
the statutes pursuant thereto. So
much of Article :. Section 6, of
the Constitution, as is relevant TO
