How to Unearth a Scot.

A Scot. compenting on the fact that
Scottish" rs a term of reproach has
disappeared from Scottish schoolbooks,
makes the curious contention that
there is only one locution now in which
Englishmen discern a Scotsman's pen
in the uncertain use Of "shall' and
"wilI." And even there, he says. it
has to be admitted that the English
Bible often shows the same uncertain
ty. The name Of the locutions by
which the pen of Scot can be in
fallibly detected is legion. and Scots
are fully aware Of this. For example,
Scots still write Of certain horse drawn
vehicles as machines" and puzzle US
by references to the policies" Of cas-.
ties and country houses. They "homol-
ogate," too, do the writing Scots; allude
to prisoners as "panels," take much to
"avizandum" and "compear' their wit

the quartet Of singers interviewed SEN

out to whom each Of the singers
awarded the palm Of being the great

Staudigl answered promptly and
truthfully. "Lablache is the best"
Marini replied, 81 will not say who

A County Attorney.

Does any business man, conl-
pany or corporation in the State
handle their litigation in such a
manner. Imagine a railroad hav-
ing a damage suit for $1,000 not
having it's local attorney, its law
agents and 1t general counsel all
on the case as soon as the INJURY
occurred Think OF 1t waiting five
months before ever trying to Sc
cure evidence to protect it's rights.
Think Of it even waiting five
month before looking into the
case, and then sending some one
who does not know the influences
and surroundings of the opposite
party.
Yet the State of Georgia per
sistently pursues that policy. The
State is wilfully blind to the &C
tual facts. The State through
its own negligence is responsible
for that state of facts to exist,
AND NOT THOSE HONOR
ABLE AND UPRIGHT JURORS
WHO RENDER VERDICTS UN-
DER THE EVIDENCE AID
DUCED TO THEM ON THE
TRIAL, AND WHO ARE UN-
JUSTLY BLAMED FOR DOING
THEIR SWORN DUTY.
Then, what is the remedy? 1t
is for the State of Georgia to use
modern, businesslike methods
in prosecuting and enforcing her
laws.
That can be done by aboiishins
the system Of Solicitor General
and the establishment in its stead
the Office of County Attorney for
each county, whose duty shall'be
to attend to all of the business
of the State in his county. At
tend all committal trials and
handle the cases for the State OF
Georgia from the time Of the per
petration Of the crime until ma
judgment lie had. He will be on
the ground as soon as the de-
PENDANTS lawyer, II not earlier
he will be familiar with all the
influences which surround the
case he will know the evidencs
in the case; he will get on, the
trail while the scent is hot; ano
above all, HE CAN PUT ALL
OF THE EVIDENCE FOR THE
STATE BEFORE THE JURY
ON THE TRIAL OF THE CASE.
AND NO ONE NEED FEAR
THAT THE JURIEs OF GEOR-
GIA WILL CONTINUE THEN
TO DO AS THEY DO NOW,
RENDER vERDICTS UNDER
THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED
TO THEM.
This is on principle. The state
and each Of the counties woulo

the State Pursues in Enforcing

Original Laws.

As an instance OF the workings
OF this outgrown system, take the
Coweta Circuit 1t is composed Of
the Counties OF Meriwether. Cow
eta, Carroll, Heard and Troup all
Of them large and populous coun-
ties. The Superior Court under
the present system convenes reg
ularly every six months in each Of
these counties. Suppose a homi-
eide is committed in Troup Conn
ty Immediately after the adjourn
ment Of the August term. There
is absolutely no person or agency
in the County to take charge Of
the States side of the case for a
period of nearly six months. No
Grand Jury, no Solicitor, no at
torney. If a person of wealth i.
killed, his relatives will employ
counsel to prosecute, but in the
great number Of cases the dead
man was poor, and therefore no
counsel are employed. In the
meantime the defendant secures
counsel, who diligently and per
sistently attend to his defense
His counsel have more than FIVE
months in which to prepare his
defense. secure evidence and take
all the necessary steps to build ny
an ironclad defense for him. and
the State of Georgia has no one
to counteract one single move Of
the defendant. The Solicitor
comes in February to attend to
all the accumulated business OF
the county. He has probably ten
murder cases. Has no time to pre-
pare them for prosecution. Knows
none OF the facts until he reach
es court, gets the Grand Jury to
work and the witnesses are
brought to the Grand Jury. And
the result Is that, however able
and dlligent he may be- he can not
cope with or meet the defense
which the defendants attorneys
have prepared after five months
persistent labor. No lawyer.
however capable and learned he
may be. can without prepara-
tion compete with one OF mediocre
ability who has had Ave months
preparation on his case. 1t is
naturally so. 1t Is the same OLD
story Of the hare and the tortoise
In o different guise.
