Charleston is putting into effect a
scheme with reference to the delivery

and at the same time to help the Red

ry their own packages at the rate OF
one fourth of a cent for each 25 cents

Carolina court rooms while court was
in session, has noticed that feature in
connection with the empanneling n
jury which requires that the names OF
the jurors be drawn from a box by a
boy who Is not supposed to be able to
read. It probably does not occur 70
the average man that there Is any
thing peculiar about this. 1t strikes
him as being so nearly the right thing
that he takes it as a matter Of course
that the same custom prevails every
where. But the fact is that this GUS
tom is peculiar to South Carolina and
it does not obtain anywhere else in the
world. The custom was originated by
Thomas Smith. one OF the proprietary
governors, in 1892. Al that time the
population consisted Of various antag-
onistic DEMONSTRATIONS and Cara-
Iiers, French. Jews and others, and
there was so little confidence between
the clements, especially between the
Puritans and Cavaliers. that Governor
Smith hit upon this idea rs being cal
culated to leave but little room for
claims of unfairness.
