jury box you know whom to blame.
In the beginning of the year, before
the court starts, the law puts it up
on the clerk, treasurer and auditor
to put the names in the box, and
those three men are responsible.
Judge Gage then spoke of the
quashing of jury venires upon tech
nicalities, necessitating the adjourn
ment of courts without the trial of
single case. There ought to be a
remedy for this sort of thing, he
said, and if the Judge presiding at
the court had the right then and
there, as he ought to have the right,
to order another jury to be sub
poenaed and served then and there,
there would be no motions to quash.
An act of the Legislature in SIX
lines, he said. would cure the diff
Guilty.
The matter of peremptory chal-
lenges next received the attention
of Judge Gage. Where two men
are on trial for murder they have
the right to challenge peremptorily
and without cause 20 of the SO men
whose names are in the box. The
chances are that only of them are
strong men. Time and again it has
been seen that the member of the
bar would stand aside those 30 men
are stood aside and he takes
chances with the other l6.
IF only one man is on trial he
has the right to challenge 10 men
without any cause, and time and
time again you have seen men of
character and men of respeetability
come to court and sit through the
whole court and never sit on the
jury" IF one negro knocked
another negro in the head with a
rock-or in any of the most trihing
cases tried-as many as five peremp-
tory challenges were allowed. The
man is not challenged because he
has an interest, because he has ex-
pressed an opinion; if he has he can
be stood aside by the court; but he
is challenged without any reason,
and l submit to you whether that
matter ought not to be remedied."
Judge Gage then discussed the
time consumed in arraignments for
the numerous crimes declared to be
felonies, expressing his belief that
arraignment loses much of its solem-
nifty by its application to all sorts
of cases; Il submit to you,s he.
said, IF that matter ought not to be
dispensed with ia all aexcept apit'Il
The last matter touched upon by
Judge Gage along this line was the
step, as soon as a verdict was rem
dered, of appeal to the supreme
court, and the granting of bond
pending the appeal. IF the grand
jury find a true bill against a man,
and fair jury find him guilty what
is the next step?" He said he i'm
agined jurors have been Mortified
when they find man guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt, after long and
fair trial, when the verdict is an

defense rise in his seat and say /

solicitor, asks for bond, he gives
bond, and the man whom the jury
convicted often beats the jury who
have convicted him out of the court
house. Nothing is required to
show any merit in the appeal. He
submitted to the grand jury, when a
jury finds man guilty, when he
has been given the benefit of all the
doubts, and he is written down

AN ABLE CHARGE.
Judge Gage Called Attention
to Needed Legislation Gov
erning the Courts in
South Carolina.

Mr.. John X. Aull, court stenog-
rapher of the sth circuit, made the
following detailed report 10 the Co
lumbia Record of Judge Cages
charge to the grand jury in Laurens
last week, which, owing to its time
illness and the high source from
which the charge came, should be
read throughout the state:
At the criminal court in session
here this week Judge Gage deliver
ed charge to the grand jury in
which he discussed the administra-
ton of law and presented to the
grand jury some thoughts and sug-
gestions which he asked them to
consider for the better protection
of public interests, asking their
judgement upon them, not at this
court, because they were matters
not to be taken unadvisedly, but
asking them to look into these mat
ters and see if there could not be
improvements in the respects men
toned.
Lawyers.
He first took up the bar, saying
that for IS years before he went on
the bench he was a member of the
bar, and any shortcomings of the
bar were his shortcomings also, and
when he referred to the bar he re-
ferred also to himself. He said he
had read in a leading newspaper
the other day this sentence, which
had struck him with great deal of
force, because in his judgement it
was full Of truth: IF the laws of
the land and their administration
are not what they should be, law
yers are largely responsible" The
reason, he said, was that the legis-
lature was dominated by lawyers;
the laws, especially those laws with
reference to the procedure of the
courts, were made by lawyers, and
if they were wrong the lawyers were
responsible. In the court the laws
were administered by the lawyers;
the lawyers advised the court, and
if the court went wrong, nine times
out of ten it was because the law
yers misled the court. As the in
tegrity Of the bar is, as the high
mind e3ness If the bar q, as the bon
esty Of the bar is, so is the wise ad:
ministration of public business. The
lawyer, he said, is not private cit
izen any more than the clerk of
court or the sheriff or the Judge. He
said he had no hesitancy in saying
that the lawyers highest duty was
to truth and to the State that COM
missioned him, and when he had a
cause that was wrong, either civil
or criminal-that he knew to be
wrong-it was not his duty to de-
fend it, and he thought one of the
potent wrongs of the administration
of our law was the persistent advo-
cacy of causes which the man who
advocates them knows are not true.
Jurors.
Judge Gage then took up the
matter of jurors, saying the law pre-
scribed only one qualification be.
sides being al elector, and that was
that juror shall be a man of good
moral character. If you don't get
that sort of men in the jury box
you have bad verdicts, and if you
