tests from those states. All contests
presented before the committee yes

BLEASE APPOINTEES
OUSTED BY COURT.
Case Similar to Magistrate Matter
Decided Against Governor-His
Men Not Legal Officers.

Columbia, May 14.-The supreme
court in decision handed down to-
day ousted Gov. Blease's appointees
as township commissioners in Beau
fort county, and ruled them guilty of
usurpation and illegally holding office
and ordering them to surrender.l
The defendants are not fined but as
sessed the costs in the case. This is
the first quo warranto proceedings to
oust appointments of the governor in
many parts of the State and is con-
sidered an index of what the results
will be in all other cases. The opin-
ion was from a unanimous court and
it considered victory for Attorney
General Lyon, who instituted the
cases.
The court rules that Blease's ap-
pointees were not legal encumbents
Of office for fact, they being appoint
ed without approval of county delega-
ton. The case is similar to the
Greenwood rural police case and the
decision is based on that case. 1t is
considered slap at the governors
acts Of making appointments of fol-
lowers contrary to legislature. At
torney general demurred from the
return Of defendants in the case and
his demurrer sustained. There were
four cases against the township COM
missioners, but all were tried to-
gether.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE JUROR

1t was the privilege of the writer to
hear one speech of Solicitor Otis in
prosecuting a case and one charge
of Judge Sease in the same case.
Without passing judgment upon the
merits of the case, and with full
sympathy we wish to note one fact
in both the States plea and the
Judges charge. The sense of the ar
gument of the solicitor and of the
charge of the Judge was that the
whole case rested upon the jury. The
juror is big figure in the courts of
justice-in fact he is the whole show
There is no doubt about the fact. A
juror has in hand the property and
lives of the citizens and the liberty,
perhaps life of the prisoner at the
bar. The appeal to prejudice. to igno-
rance or any other wrong motive
would fall to the ground if the sensi-
bic charge made by Judge Sease could
be followed by the jurors Of Union
county. 1t was masterpiece, as was
Solicitor OTIS plea in behalf of the
State. We will have a wonderful day
of advancement when our people
come to put jury duty in the rank
that both these gentlemen place that
service. 1t would be good for the
innocent man on trial and it would
be good for the public in it's commit
ted interest. Mr.. Juryman, you are
the biggest thing in the court, and
should be the best.
