V0R3EY GENERAL DISCOVERS

pedure is Held to Have Been IrrecrBular
at the Least?Some Acts
h Are Omitted.
legality of t':e code of 1912 is
ned by Thomas H. Feepies, atgeneral,
in an opinion filed with ;
Lnning. The code was printed :
ichie company, law publishers !
rlottesville, Va. The attorney l
i generai states taat several errors ha\o
I been found in the code as compared
\ vita t':e reports by the code commis(
^ sioner.
"The said errors," says the attorney
^ wnpral "insist in <;nmp instances ill
I ~ - j
f the omission of certain statutes ana
acts which were included in the reports
of the code commissioners, other i
instances being a change in some ofN
the statutes as reported by the code ;
commissioners."
Irregular Procedure.
' j
. Continuing, t'e opinion says: "We,
* express no opinion as to toe legality !
of the code generally, on account of j
tkis failure to have the code attached
to the act and filed in the office of the i
secretary of state; but even if such !
procedure does not affect the legality j
of toe code, it seems to us to at such |
procedure is irregular, to say the least. j
The code, under the constitution and j
IJaws 0:f this State, is the only general j
statutory law of t) e State at the time !
of its adoption and surely a record of
this importance, in its entirety, should
bje among the records in the possession ;
if the proper State custodian. In
h:e absence of the code referred to in
Lie act of 3912, we are forced to t^ie
Bbcessity of referring to the reporr j
Hi resolutions of South Carolina for j
I years 1911 and 1912, hereinabove !

Attorney General Peeples in his |
opinion gives a history of the code, j
l^fcfhe duties of t;'"e code commissioner j

The opinion on the co3e resulted
^^irom the receipt of a letter from
JT Charleston questioning the correctness
of the law relating to the rights of
' national banks acting as trustees. Th*
l attorney general found t' at the act

owing notice to the act: 'T ib

a day of February, A. D. 1912,

teys, tne general assembly besession."
altorn?y general pays that in
nion "there is nothing in tf:-e
pting the code, or any existing
;equent statute or act, authorte
code commissioner, the corner
the publishers to make any
; in the statutes as codified and 1

years 1911 and 1912, for it wil)

oH-anr-oHl ic HAotarPrt to hp the
VW Ut VM.V- VV?/ ? V UV.V-w* ? ? ? ?
[code of laws of South Carolina."
I Continuing, the opinion says:
"Certain errors have been noted in
the code printed by the Michie company,
wv.en compared with the two reports
of the eode commissioners; said
errors consisting in some instances in
the omission of certain statutes and

I ports of the code commissioners, othV
er instances being a change in some
B of the statutes as reported by the code
P commissioners. In such cases it is
' the opinion of tfris office that the code
of laws as contained in the reports of
I the code commissioners for ti.e years
I 1911 and 1912 is the general statutory
law ofthe State, for these reports have
ft been so declared, and the code printed
Hp by the Michie company Gas not been
i bo declared by legislative enactment
1' since tfoe printing of the same.
There is another question, it seems,'
f in connection with the code of 1912 j
Y.*hich deserves the consideration of I
I the bench and bar, and that is Ttfh<etf:er |
I the attempted adoption of the code by !
11m r in o i

B legal manner. It will be observed in
the act, wfcicfh has been quoted, that
the code as submitted by the code com nissioner
and which is supposed to
^^bave been declared to be the only general
statutory law of the State, is re
ferred to as being attached to the acl j
of 1912. I
"The act of 1012 was not approved !
by : e governor to v.i cm it was pic-1
sented on tlie 24th day oi' February, i
1912, and Gov. Cole. L. Blease informs
us that one of the reasons of his fail- j

THE KI SSIAA LA Mil AGE.
\o "H,' No ",P an J >o in Alphabet
in Czar's County.
Petrogad Correspondent to the New
York Sun.
There is no /a" in the Russian al- j
phabet. Therefore the Russians spell'
Hartlepool "Gartlepool," and call Field I
Marshal Hindeburg "Gindenburg.";
Tl:e captain of a Russian steamer |
Which in time of peace p'ies between !
here and London greeted a friend of j
mine who had often sailed with him: i
"Ah, you are going for a goliday,j
yes? Where is your gnsband?"
The Russian alphabet-also lacks our '
"j" and our "w." Jones has to be spelt;
"Dzones." Williams becomes "Vil- \
yams," and an American friend of j
mine named W- iffen is addressed as j
"Mr. *Veefen." yet, in spite of these difficulties
t'":e Russians manage to give '
a tvery fair, usually an exact, version i
o: English proper and place names. I j
want to suggest both out of compli-1
ment to them and in the interest of i
accuracy also, that we should try to j
turn Russian names into English |
more correctly than we do. The reading
of the war news would, in addition,
be made easier to British eyes if the:
names of Russian places, in any case!
odd looking, could be pronounced at
sigfct instead of being puzzled over,
and given up as a bad job.
If you were in patrnership with a !
j.Iir. Smith and persisted in calling him
"Smiff" he might be justifiably be an-;
noyed. If his house was called "Fern- \
hurst." and you always spoke of it |
cnolt it ac "Wp'nhnr^f '' hie rmin- i
ion of your intelligence would not be i
i;is?:. That is the way we treat Rus- j
sian names, and if the Russians do I
not protest it is only because they are !
a people of infinite toleration. They i
<lo not, believe me, think more highly :
of us or our language for our slipshod i
lack of care in this direction.
There need be no difficulty about re- j
?
producing closely in English tr.e sound j
of any Russian name. W y, then, do
we spell the town which used to be
called Lemberg, Lwow? That suggests j
a pronunciation to rhyme with "now" :
and "cow." The proper way to pro- !
n ounce it is Lvoff. How "Lwow"
ever came to the be printed I can not
im: gine.- It is spelled with two "v's."
F3e?ore a consonant t' e Russian "v"
is hard, like ours. At the end of a
word it is sligi tly softened and should
be represented in English by double \
"f." Whenever "w" is used in spell- j
ing a Russian name it is wrong, for i
there is no "w" in Russian.
I
We recognize this by spelling the j
Polish township where tuere has been 1
much hard figLting lately, Lovicz. But |
here, though we get the 'V right, we !
go grong in the last two letters. TYie j
Russian pronunciation is Lovitch.
What the Polisf. pronunciation is I
shall not venture to say. No Pole will
admit that any foreigner can ever
{ ope to speak his tongue as it should
be spoken. But at all events, to this
I can testify?that toe Poles do not
make the name of that place tf:yme
with "sticks." As nearly as may be,
X - I
they say Lovitch, too, aud they say
Lenchitsa when they refei to the town
which ve spell Lenczica. Why then
should l.ot we? And spell them so too?
A messenger boy is said to have i
saved the United States $12,000 000
locking up an appropriation bill. It
might not be a bad idea to hire enou^.
of them to carry out a real retrenchment
policy.?St. Petersburg Independent.
In oti:er quarters each side lay*
claim to the advantage, but in the Dardanelles
we notice tint the allied fleet
is makine a noise like a clam.?Jack
sonville Times- Union.
Yet in Doubt.
