Some Very Sensible Suggestions from
One Of States Best Men.
columbia Record.)

Judge Cages recent charge to the
Laurens grand jury was out Of the
ordinary, but very excellent. While
1t is commonplace, it is very helpful
to be reminded that lawyers are offi-
GERS OF the court, and that their full
duty to the clients Is performed when
they have eXerted their best efforts
to put the truth before the jury. 1t
is not the duty Of il lawyer, under
his oath, to acquit a client or to win
case.
Another point which Judge Gage
very properly stressed is the absurd
ity Of adjourning court because the
Venire has been quashed upon a
technicality. "There ought to be q
remedy for that sort of thing" he
said, "and If the judge presiding at
the court had the right then an
there, as he ought to have, to order
another jury to be subpoenaed and
served then and there, there would
be no motions to quash." inequality
of peremptory challenges is another
defect in our judicial system to
which he called attention, a defend
ant having ten challenges as against
five for the prosecution. But the
last matter touched upon by Judge
Gage Is perhaps the most important,
and that is the matter Of appeals.
Under our procedure in the criminal
courts the attorney for a convicted
defendant would cause astonishmcnt
If he did not at once, upon the an
nouncement Of the verdict, make a
motion for new trial, and upon
its refusal give notice OF appeal. This
notice of itself acts as stay Of SEN
tence and permits the convicted per-
son to be released upon bail
''rhe man whom the jury has con-
victed,' says Judge Gage, "often
beats tho jury who convicted him out
of the court house" Nothing is re-
quired," he said, "tO show any merit
In the appeal" The appeal may
hang fire for an almost Indefinite pc-
riod, and If the case Is lost in the
Supreme Court, it may frequently be
appealed again upon some other tech
nicality or preteXt. This is not the
procedure In many other States, and
South Carolina would do well to

Death Record in Chinese Provinces
from Flood and Famine.

New York, Sept. 9.-Flood and
rains in the Yang-Tse Kiang Valley
have claimed at least 100000 souls
within the decade, according to con-
serVative computations Of missionary
societies and other organizations.
In the famine of 1906-07, the most
awful camp of which history has any
record. was established outside the
wall OF the ancient city Of Using XII
ang Pu, situated on the grand canal
about 100 miles north Of the Yang
Tsc river, almost 10000 persons
were huddled in huts of mud. De-
spite the effort made by the Chinese
government, by devoted missionaries
and by we'll disposed foreigners thou
sands died every day. A large con-
tingent of Chinese and influential
foreign residents believe that the
greatest responsibility confronting
the Chinese government to-day is the
solving Of an engineering problem
that will save the lives of the 15O.-
600 persons who nov inhabit the val
ley and make possible its continued
human occupation.
The recurring foods are due partly
to the denudian floods OF the upper
valleys.
Huge dams hold the food waters
from reaching natural channels in
many places, and completely sub
merge millions OF acres yearly.

TO are staggering. Here Is a territory

U.de. this system before an avDeal
can be had 1t must be certified by
either the trial Judge or one OF the
judges OF the Appellate Court that
there is merit in the appeal; other
wise the case cannot be carried to
the Court Of Appeals. In this State,
on the contrary, any case may be an
pealed whether there is any merit in
the points raised or not, and conse-
quently the prisoner may be sure of
suspension Of sentence for a time
at least, since the case cannot be
reached by the Supreme Court for
perhaps several months. 1t was this
facility Of appeal which permitted
Bigham and Avant, for instance, to
get out Of the jurisdiction of the
South Carolina courts after they had
been convicted Of manslaughter. In
the more or less justly celebrated
case Of Henry G. Beattie, Jr., in Vir-
ginia. the excellence of the Virginia
method will be illustrated, since

Mechanical Device Intended to Pre-

vent Railroad Accidents.
After four years of investigation
Of numerous devices designed to pre-
vent accidents on railroads, or at
least to lessen this danger to trav-
elers and rolling stock, the inter-
state commerce commission, it is
stated, has probably found one appli-
ance which will perform this duty as
perfectly as a machine can. The in
vestigations have been made under
an act of Congress, which authorized
the expenditure Of $4,000 for this
purpose.
The commission set to work, and
Observation-Disclosures the information
that any and all appliances designed
to prevent or decrease accidents on
railroads would be cheerfully re-
ceived and Investigated, IL submitted
by the inventor. A large number of
these devices, ranging from the com.
plex to the near-ludicrous, were sent
In to the commission, the total num-
ber being 1856. These were all closely
investigated by experts, and one af-
ter another eliminated from the test.
The few which were left were then
given practical tests to prove their
efficiency. 1t Is stated that the latest
and most promising Of these tests has
just closed, after continuing for
nearly two months. The inventor is
Frederick LacreiX, native Of Texas,
who has been working for a long
number Of years upon the invention
to prevent accidents upon railroads.
The principle of the invention lies
in the third rail" BY this device,
combined with electrical apparatus,
including dynamo operated by a
steam turbine, within each engine,
danger signal is Immediately
flashed when two engines are on the
same track within half mile of
each other. Immediately upon the
flashing of the danger signal, power
Is Immediately applied automati-
cally to the brakes, and the trains
are brought to slow standstill be-
1or9 they can possibly arrive IN con-
tact.
The Erie Railroad, 1t Is stated, in
stalled the device on ten mile
stretch between Nutley and West
Nutiey, N. D., and Following sew
eral tests, the interstate Commerce
commission declded TO investigate,
and had twelVe-mile stretch OF rail-
road equipped with the appliance.

IN $4,000 bail for examination on Tuesday
u. p. Stephenson, Assistant United states
Attorney, said that the frauds perpetratec
through sales of stock I'm the Radio Teie-
phone Company had amounted TO millions
The company represented that il had per-
fected wireless telephone, the range OF
which was unbounded and exceeded that OF
wireless telegraphy. 1t asserted this tele-
phone could be easily installed and that the
equipment was cheap, while the service IL
would render would insure great profits
The complaint Of Birdseye said the Radlo
Telephone Company through its president
Smith, induced many persons TO purchase
stock in the company by holding out the
possibilities of quick and large profits ana
II further said Smith deceived investors by
sending TO them checks for small amounts
purporting to be dividends.
The information upon which the govern
ment acted was received from William w.
Tompkins. who has been sentenced to the
penitentiary at Atlanta. Ga. for his con-
nection with the frauds in the sales OF
United Wireless stock. Tompkins was
brought here from Atlanta TO be ques-
toned by the prosecutors office. Others
