IGNORANCE A QUALIFICATION
FOR JURY SERVICE.

The difficulty In securing jury
In the Mcnamara case Is demonstrat-
ing some Of the Weaknesses Of our
jury system. The only persons ap-
parently fit for service are fools or
people of such feeble intellect MS to be
unable to form an opinion as to be un-
able to form an opinion or grasp an
idoa. The less man knows not only
about the case, but about everything
TO be interested In. the more likely to
be interested in, the more available
he would seem to be to pass judg-
ment upon the law as wen as the
evidence in this, the most important
ana world wide significant murder
trial this country has had in the last
hfty years.
The choice Of jurors for trying
Mcnamara is apparently man who
Times building was in some manner
destroyed. Next in the rank of quail
iflcations Is an utter lack of opinion
as to whether labor unionism is a good
or bad thing The mind that has at
once that ox-lkc stoldity and that
idiot-like vacuity would be seized on
as constituting the ideal juror for the
trial of this case, pertinently asserts
tho Dallas News. Both the counsel
for the state and the counsel for the
defendant seem to despair Of finding
twelve such pardgons for jury service
I'm the state Of California, II continues.
They seem to fear particularly that
outside the states institutions for the
feeble-minded there are not twelve
men who have not either heard or
read of the tragedy They are con
strained to endure this degree of cor-
sclousnoss In the jury box, but they
are insisting that those VINO have
heard or read Of the tragedy shall at
least have no more than the embroy
Of an opinion as TO whether the build
ing was blown UP with dynamite or
by gas.
1t may be possible 60 get twelve
such men; but II they are obtained
they will DE mon who lack the men
tai energy and strength TO form an
opinion. They will be men whose
voltlons are of wholly emotional caus
alton, and the side which should make
the best appeal to their emotions wii
be the side that gets the verdict from
such a jury
This case that is being tried In CAL
ifornia is an extraordinary one In sew
oral respects. Tho circumstances Of ID
are such as engcudor passion and ami
mate all the latent prciudicos OF the
mind. and that fact jistifics an extra
ordinary care I'm the selection Of jury
mon. But also It cxempllfies in an eX-
tieme degree the ftlly OF putting Il
premium on ignorance as quallflc1-
tIon for jury service. II the purpose
of the trial Is to get deliberate and
critical consideration Of the facts OF
the case. the man who confessos him
self reader of newspapers. and
therefore to have read of so note
worthy n case as this. ought TO be
more competent for the service than
the man who confesses that he Keeps

SORT OF FREE LOVE CULT.
Leader of 1t Being Tried in Chicago
for immortality.

Mrs. Lucille Bridges frequently
kissed Evelyn Arthur See, founder OF
the Absolute Life" cult, called him
"dear" and wrote letters to him while
he was in jail, telling of her love for
him, according to her testimony CIV
en- at the trial of the cult leader at
Chicago on Friday.
"The many kisses I exchanged with
Mr.. See were holy and sinless saluta-
tions," Mrs. Bridges testified. "They
had none of the meaning of the kiss
the world outside Of Absolute Life
knows. Mr.. See is pure and chaste
man. It was not sinful for US to
kiss. We had the true light. We
we're above SIN and SAFE from temp
tation. Nothing we could do would
be wrong"

va. in me as though there were
so,re: hing for nj, f. Go to better my
self and better the world at large.
It was feeling which was like walk
ing on cloud. That feeling was
absolute life" said the witness.
Mrs. Bridges admitted also that
she frequently visited the temple
Of absolute Life" where See made
his home, on nights while her hus-
band was away from Chicago. She
said also that she hal made con-
tributions of $1,000 and $500, re-
.spectively, to See in the cause OF
"Absolute Life"

Killing Tailor.

ed in Charleston Friday for the muir
der on June p, 1910, of Max Lubel-
sky, a Jewish merchant, the crime,
being among the most atrocious in
the annals. Of this State.
Until the last moment Duncan
showed great nerve but as the black
cap was. being adjusted he tainted,
the trap being sprung while he was
in this condition. To the last the
negro stoutly maintained his inno-
cence of all knowledge of the crime

papers.
The murder Of Lubelsky, a King
street tailor, occurred on June II OF
last year. He was found in his shop
senseless and lying ia pool OF blood.

bloody stick with which the crime
had been committed.

murdered man was attacked m her
husbands place of business in man
ner similar to that which resulted
in the death Of Lubelsky. Duncan
was seized outside the store and re-
cognized by neighbor as the man
in whose hands he had seen the stick
with which the tailor had been kill
ed shortly before the murder took
place.
The negro was tried and convicted
of the crime. His case was carried
to the State supreme court, which

ed to interfere.

oRANGEBURG COLLEGE.
Preparations Being Made for the Best
Year in its History.

The annual advertisement Of the
Orangeburg College appears in this
issue of our paper. This school has
had a most remarkable growth IL
the past seven years since President
W. S. Peterson has been at the head
of it. Every room was taken last
year, and the prospects for next ses-
sion are brighter than ever before.
The College draws its patronage from
every section of the State, and from
other States. The faculty for the
coming year is the best that the
school has ever had, being composed
of sixteen College and University
trained teachers. A number Of the
professors are on the road canvass
ing for the cshool this summer, and
lit is expected that the boarding pat
ronage will run up to at least 800
students the coming session. Prof.
Peterson gives his students board at
actual cost and this has reduced the
expenses to the lowest cost. He gives
the boarding department his own
personal supervision, and having
given the subject of dietary many
years of careful study, knows now to
furnish most excellent fare.
The music department Of the
school the coming session will be es-
pecially strong. Prof. Thomas L..
Tinsley, the Director of Music, is
Georgian by birth, is graduate Of
the Atlanta Conservatory Of Music,
and has also had training in the
North. He is a great concert pianist,
and will prove valuable acquisition
to the school. Mrs. Della Gilbert,
who will have charge Of the Vocal
department, is a graduate Of the
Grand Prarie Conservatory Of Music
of Illinois, and also of the New Eng
land Conservatory of Boston. Mrs.
Gilbert has had many years of sue
cessful experience both on the Con-
cert stage, and as a teacher. She
comes to Orangeburg College from
Columbia College, where she had
charge Of the Vocal department in
that school for the past five years,
and where she was successful III
building up for that school a great
school of voice. She possesses a rich
contralto voice, and is nown all over
the State AS one of the best SINGERS
going These two talented teachers
will insure Orangeburg College as
fine a department in music as can
be found in this State.
There has long been a demand for
a school that would give such train
ing az this school gives at the low
cost that it does, and it is no sur
prise to it's friends that it is growing
numbers

VERY STRANGE CASE
YOUNG WOMAN TRIES TO LEAVE
BABY ON A TRAIN.
She Was Required to Resume Posses
sion Of the Child, Which She Gave

to Man.
The Augusta Chronicle says a SEN
sational story was told in Augusta
Monday of a mysterious attempt OF
an unknown young woman to desert
an infant on the Atlantic Coast Line
train, from Savannah, upon its arrival
at Yemasse and being prevented from
doing so by the passengers, carried
lit with her on the c. & ". G. train
from Charleston to Augusta, where
she is said to have presented the baby
to a. gentleman from Augusta who
to hisidskg'FFd.dh. .etaoinshrdlucm
brought the new member of his fam
ily to his home in this city.
Neither the name Of the supposed
mother or the present possessor OF
the child could be learned. Accord
ing to the story as related here by
excursionists from Charleston Sunday
night, the unknown woman arrived at
Yamesse on the train from Savannah.
A number of the men who were on
the train, and whose attention had
been attracted to the child, noticed
that the lady had got off the train and
changed to the c. & W. c. train,
bound for Augusta.
She left the infant on the train and
as she evinced no attention Of re-
turning for it, they sent to her and
required her to take the baby with
her. After the Augusta train had
! left Yamesse and the unaccountable
conduct of the woman had been cir
culated among the passengers, the
man from Augusta became a charac-
ter in the story, by Offering to take
the child and provide home for it.
His offer was accepted, the baby
was placed in his charge and ne
brought it on to Augusta with hNn
The lady, who was young and good
looking, left the train al Varnville, a
station in Hampton County, South
Carolina, between Yamesse- ane
Hampton, without any one, so far as
can be learned, having ascertainee
her identity. She spoke to no one
except as, related and offered no ex'
planation of her strange and myster'
Iious conduct.
