The Yorkville Enquirer does not
take any stock in the theory that peut
Jurors are to be held responsible for
miscarriages of justice. That is all
bunk. The average citizen of this
county knows what is right, and he
wants to do .sht. But to q large. eX-
tent the cards are stacked against him
to such an extent that he has but lit
tie showing. While the ordinary We
nire as drawn is representative OF the
average citizen, the jury as empan--
eled is quite frequently otherwise
Under existing laws providing for per-
emptory challenges and objections for
cause, it is quite an easy matter for
defendants counsel to eliminate the
average citizen and reduce the panel
down to a selection that will not be
rightly influenced by the facts. The
interests of the state may always be
safely left with the average citizen;
but when the average citizen has been
eliminated, right for rights sake is not
so secure. The people have not the
same show. We will admit the justice
of severe criticism against the jury
system; but we will not admit the JUS
tice of such criticism against the av-
erage juror.

Lady, if you have not already got
your registration certificate, please go
and get it Mondav-neXt Monday. You
may need to vote in November and you
may not. But unless you have a GER
tifioate you cannot vote in November.
Next Monday will afford the last
chance to get a certificate. If you
neglect to do your duty in the matter
and then there happens some develop
ment that will call for the full voting
power of the country you will feel
badly about it. Surely you can see
that you will not be warranted in COM
planning if things go against you. In
behalf of the mean things who were on
the other side it will at least have to
be admitted that they had qualified
themselves to vote.

AS The Yorkville Enquirer sees it,
that is small business on the part oil
those deacons Of the Skull Shoals Bap-
tist church in Cherokee county, who
seek to force the resignation Of Rev. f.
G.. Hickson, the pastor, because OF his
activity in behalf of Mr.. Blease in the
recent campaign. While we do not
know it to be fact, we are inclined to
suspect that if these dcacons were not
actually instigated by other politicians,
they are being aided and ahetted by
such. AS to whether it is the best
thing for minister of the gospel to
take an active part in partisan politics,
there is ground for difference of opin-
ion. In our view it is not. AS we sec
it minister of the gospel should
know nothing among us" except Jc-
sus Christ and him crucified. If, how
ever, q minister desires to become par
tisan in politics, there is no question
of his right to do so. with the under
standing of course, that those to whom
he ministers have n right TO their say
also. But it has always been the wont
of Hickson to take vigorous interest in
politics. In 1916 he fought as siren
uously against Bleasc as this year he
fought for him. II is not Of record
that the Blcase men Of his charge, if
there were any, raised any objection,
and if these deacons did object then,
when their pastor was with them, it
comes with mighty poor grace from
them to be squcaling now when he is
on the other side.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1922-09-26

1t is quite common to hear talk OF
their being but one party in South
Carolina. But who honestly believes
anything of the kind? Suppose, for
instance, Mr. Mcleod should go for
advice to some partisan who support
ed Blease in the recent campaign, in
stead of to some partisan who sup
ported Mcleod, what would the anti
Blease man think of it and how would
he be affected? And by the way, does
anybody believe that Blease is per-
sonally strong enough to command n
following of $4,000 voteS--or even 1000
votes? Neither Blease nor Mcleod
could do it. Then why persist in the
fiction that there are not two parties IN
the state? OF course Mr.. Mcleod is
going to be governor of all the peo-
pie through the party to which he
owes his election. That Mr.. Harvey
is q non-factional governor, there is
very little ground for dispute. There
was no factionalism in his election as
lieutenant governor, and factionally he
does not belong to either side. So far
rs he has had opportunity to demon
strate his quality he has made good
governor of all the people-as good as
the state has had for 10, these many
years. But Mr.. Harvey could not
have been elected to succeed himself
except as a factional governor, because
such thing would not have been per-
mitted by either side.
