trustees IN this report ask the COIL
vention for permission to inaugurate
a campaign this year to raise fund
of 100000. The college last year
issued $4,000 in bonds, and these
will be retired from the 100000
fund if the campaign is launched and
is successful.
The report of the Anderson Fe-
male College, the first annual report,
was submitted by H. H. Watkins for
the board of trustees. Work is we'll
under way on the elegant new build
ing of this college. The board called
attention of the convention to the
fact that the new college will be
a strictly modern and up-to-date
plant. No detail has been neglected
in providing for the health and COM
fort Of the students. The buildings
will not be over two stories IN height,
obviating the necessity Of so much
stair climbing. Details OF construc-
ton were made showing how excel
lent the new dormitories will be. The
buildings will cost around $4,000,
and they are to be completed by next
August.
Furman University made mag
nifcent report also. President Po-
teat was present at the convention
and was a central figure. This report
showed that Furman has the largest
attendance this session in its history,
and also the largest income for cur
rent support. The old Furman men
and Furman friends of the conven-
ton We're delighted at the showing
Dr.. C. C. Brown, who is insistent
in season and out Of season for the
aged ministers relief fund, was de-
lighted to report that board out OF
debt, but more funds are needed. The
convention is taking deeper interest
in this matter than ever before.
The report of the statistIca! secre-
tary will show total membership IN
this State Of around $4,000 Bap-
lists. The membership reported at
the convention here II years ago was
81, 900, so the gain has been most
substantial and gratifying.
The report on foreign missions
was submitted and them three re-
turned missionaries, Eev. E. L. Nor
gan, Rev. W. II. Danford and Rev. E.
\. Snuggs spoke on this report, tell
ing Of condition in China, Of the pro-
gress made and Of the great needs
there and in all the foreign fields.
Mr. Snuggs had three OF his children
all born in China, on the rostrum
and these sang sacred congs IN Chi
nese and recited.
A new insight in Chinese life was
had BY this work. Dr.. Willingham
closed with a powerful plea for aid
! both money and workers. At the
close he asked for any who would
so or who were willing to go out
as missionaries to stand up ano
something like a dozen young men
and women stood up in differen'
parts Of the building testifying their
willingness to go.
Dr. Poteat, president o. furmar
called attention to the fact that nine
out of the young men now at the
seminary preparing to 80 rs mission

Wants Further Discussion.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
| read with interest your recent edi-
torial on employers liability. 1t is
founded upon reason. Supposing a
man employs two men and one be-
comes incapacitated through injury;
his employer must engage another
man, increasing his salary list nearly
by one-half.
Now take the man who employs 100
men. Notice the proportionate, or
rather the disproportionate liability. 1t
is not probable that one-half the num-
Der of his men will become injured, as
was the former case,
When one man of the large force is
i%ncapacitated and 1t is necessary to
hire another the proportion of the in
creased salary list in comparison to
the first case is very insignificant.
The law does not seem to be suited
fairly to the very different conditions
ii purposes to cover.
The subject deserves additional space
In your editorial columns.

THE COURT AND THE SHERIFF.

TA OR the second time This year and in the history of criminal
IT. Justice in New jersey a sheriff has been relieved by the court
of his duty to impanel a grand jury because he is nnder
oharges that are TO be laid before the grand jury, and, therefore,
cannot properly select the jurors who are to act upon his own case.
Sheriff johnson, Republican, of Atlantic county, whose term expires
this year, was set aside by Justice Kaisch because he had illegally
removed certain election records from the office of the county clerk.
Sheriff Kelly, of Hudson county Democrat, whose term also ex.
pires this year, is now relieved by Justice Swayze of his official
duty and his grand jury has been discharged, because he illegally
procured the release of four warrant prisoners from the county Jail
after their commitment. There appears to hs ample authority for
the court. to act in such eases, but it may be asked why this exer-
else of the judicial power was never before resorted TO. Sherifs
in the past stretched their authority in many ways to bring them
under the ban of the court. Compared with the acts of some former
sherifs the ofenses of the Atlantic and Hudson county sherifs
were of small account. Was it left to the acumen of Justice
Kahsch to make the first discovery of the power of the court to
disable the sheriff for any reasonable cause from performing the
duty of drawing the grand jury?

Reynolds as fast as possible. For
Reynolds it should nave read Brannan,
who was between them. Wood could
only see II way 10 get close to Reyn-
olds, which was to go around behind
Brannan, and when he did that he left
a whole in the centre of the Union line
that Longstreet, the Confederate com
mander, military critics say, would
willingly have sacrificed 10000 men to
make. And Wood made it for him
without even a skirmish. 1t was a dire
catastrophe to the Union forces, but

day was a big one and in another part
of it the cause was going more to their
good fortune.

EQUAL RIGHTS IN THE STREETS.

IT n his charge to the grand jury Chief Justice Gummere makes
some strong comments on the reckless disregard of pedestrian
rights in the streets by many drivers of motorcars, who as
sumo superior rights and enforce them at the risk of injury or death
TO people. The court cites four recent cases of killing by auto
mobiles in Newark. The safety of our public streets is the first
consideration with governing authorities. In these streets all cii
xens, whether afoot or in vehicles, have equal rights, and that rule
should be iealously maintained. Now that the chief Justice has
spoken so strongly on the subject the grand jury should not only
act in the spirit of the courts charge on the eases before the jury.
but should make a presentment TO serve as a warning to ohauGeurs
that they cannot with impunity assert a claim to an exclusive right
of way on the public highway.

tive EN-COnNictS n nance
To the Editor Of the Evening star:
Why is it hat people are so hard on
men who have served a term in
prison? l Know a young fellow who
served two years in prison for some
tri6ing o%ffense, and when he came out
he was confronted with the undertake
ing of getting a position. The first
thing that he found out Was that the
general public did not believe in Civ
ing a man another chance He had the
ability and was willing to work hard
to live down the past. He went to his
former employer, where his record was
perfectly clean. but he was told there
that while the officers of the company
would be personally glad to take him
back it would injure the company if
they did.
Is it just and fair, after a man has
paid his debt to the State, that society
should keep on demanding payment? Is
it any wonder that many of the men go
back? l would like to ask the public
through your paper to give those men
who have been in prison and paid their
debts, a chance. 1t surely is not much
to ask. just a chance for a job n to
live down their past. In about six out
of ten cases the men who return to
prison are men who meant to have a
try at a good life, but who were driven
away from it by society.
