TUE HI SK OF AX OUTCAST AB U commercial product, cotton seed occupies a ponition of rapidly increasing value. It Las not been so many years since lt wa? regarded ne an outcast by planters, a by-produc of the cotton fields to be t'nowr uwuy because it served no useful purpose. Cotton seed oil is extensively rv In the manufacture of food product lt makes an excellent substitute for turd, and in various ether forms hat Invaded the pantry as an indlspciij uble ltiulnstay of the housekeeper. It is sold widely aa olive oil. Indeed, it is kurd to distinguish it from thc genuine Italian article. .Millions . gallons arc shipped abroad euch year only to como buck masquerading uti dor a moro pretentious label. There is no waste In <??c seed. The oil, employed by manufacturing terests in acores of ways and in the fine arts, ls by far its most valuab', product. The meal is a compon'1 part of commercial fertilizers, and, together with th a hulls, servos nt as a nutritious feed for cattle. A generation ago the total value of the cotton seed crop was Homo when around ten million dollars, Today it ia about twenty times this amount. This may sound too much Uko an academia discussion of something wc know all about, but, ot any rate, it is interesting to pass common things in mental review occasionally for the sake of appreciating their value a little moro. The history of Its rapid rise ls as interesting as a romance It ls amus ing to read tho judgment reached li an old historian soon after the In vention of the cotton gin by EJ?TVhl? ney. This sage chronicler declared the seed to be a nuisance. Ho tell? of an Instance where the seed wer thrown out on the ground as so much waste. Hogs ate of it and died. Fin ally, after several attempts to place it where tho greedy pigs could no bo harmed, lt was dumped into a creek. "There at low water," say? tho historian, "It soon generated i mlaamatic odor, which wheu the wind waa favorable waa so offonslve j aa to creato a strong feeling of prc Judico against tho futuro culturo ot the crop." KICKERS The kicker has no friends in pub lic, though privately a goodly num. ber ot people may side with ulm anc prod him to further attack. A Cana dian Judge, however, has placod i wreath on the brow of this much con demned gentleman, and he does lt fn pretty hefty English, too. "Much of our law ?aaa boen made by those insistent upon their right* in trivial matters," says the Judge, "and much of the improve, mt ii public conveniences of all kinds, |n ! eluding railways, steamboats and hotels ia due to those who will no. { submit to be fobbed oft with loss than they are entitled to. Suoa perform a public service of no little valuo. anc aro no lesa entitled to the thanks ol the general public because they an usually called by a somewhat les dignified appellation than that of Slr William Jones, or because it is sel dom that a distinguishing characteris tic of their names is 'sweetness n light.' I confess to a secret admira tion for 8UCI-.V and would wish tho thoro were a mere common uprl&ln against bad air, bad water, poor food and poor accommodation generally. This does not make the kicker ni angel, hut tho horns and hoops dis appear aa we read tho Judge's opin ion. AN END OF TARDY JUSTICE Nothing does moro to lesson re spect for vhe courts in- the popula mind than the frequent delays in th* trial ot cases. Lawyers are elmon-: universally charged with the re sponsibility for this clogging of th? wheels of Justice, but tho truth ot tito matter ia that attorneys, except in sporadic instances, are not tu blame at all. Ot course, some lawyers can air do often take advantage of technical pointa of law and other flunay ex cuses to postpone the trial of cases \ especially on the crlmiual aide of the court, but even tl cn there are usual ly keen and alort lawyers on Ote otb cr side to block them and hold them to taw. Tho fiault generally Ilea tn the fallara of leglslrtivo bodies io provide a sufficient number of co;ir< sessions and In giving to the court te r wide a Jurisdiction. There was much com?!a!nt in An derson county of tho congestion of court calendara and dockets up te three yeera eijo when K-.o old circu?* waa cut rj/.wn and a new circuit, com posed of Anderson and Oeoneo coun ties, established. Additional terms of court arare provided, and now no ont hoare a whisper of the old complain* ot delay and inconvenience. In fact both criminal and civil coarta usually come to an end before their legal tim* limit expire?, because the obr.gestion has been relieved by a contraction o! thc circuit and a resulting opportuni ty for more frequent sessions. Before the change was made, ap peals from magistrate's court ; fre quently continued from term to term on bte docket without being board. Such appeals full to the level of com mon tokes, and lt was very hard t prevail upon a worried judge to hear them. And yet an appeal from kn In ferior court, say, in Corner township, might be of more local importance than all the rest of thc grist ground out by the court. For instance, with tho machinery of the court moving at a snail's pace, a blind tiger or a blockader might be convicted, an J the appeal taken immediately after wards ties up his case in the higher court almost indefinitely. Under these circumstances, thc lawbreaker considers himself at freedom to con tlnnue his criminal course, filing that thc long arm of the law will be too busy to leach in his direction. Frequent sittings of all trial courts are necessary to the protection of the rights guaranteed to them by their laws. Speedy Justice Inspires con fidence in the courts and gives to the people a feeling of security and a thorough respect for the law. A CHANGE OF FRONT Charleston ls to be congratulated on tho conviction of a blind tiger for the storing of Intoxicating liquor.?, and lt ls to he hoped that the City bv the Sea IA breaking away from th< shameful Indifference her Juries have felt toward the enforcement of th' law In illegal sales of whiskey. Tho credit for this apparent chango of front should, of course, be given first to the people of Charleston th.cn. solveSj w.'io perhaps have seen the light at last and'are trying to im prove the moral atmosphere of their city, but we cannot help but think that Governor Manning's strong snd earnest effort to have the laws en forced ls beginning to bear fruit. Governor Manning has had a hard and trying problem In the enforce ment of tba law In Charleston against the Illegal trafile In whiskey, but he has applied himself to tho task in a manly and finn way, and he has thc satisfaction of having performed h' duty fairly and Justly. Perhaps thc problem of law enforcement will bc come more acute, for a while at least, after the prohibition act goes Into force, but Charleston will, we bc llevo, soon wake up to tho fact that to command the respect and confl I dence of the people of tho State eh i must obey the State's laws as other counties are doing. The conviction of one blind tigor is i a healthy sign of awakening, and wc trust that lt moans the first serli.;s 1 break In the line of defense of tl ; violators of the law. OUTPOSTS .OE EMPIRE The shifting fortunes of the armies ; in continental Europe have absorbed thc attention of the world almost to thc exclusion ot every other aspect , of the wsr. But the changing Uncu', of empire are not confined to tb? continent by any means. In Africa, in Asia and through the wide sweep of tho South Seas rich colonies hav, passed, from one dominion to anothe: scarcoly not'eed by the world. The storm of war ihhs stripped Ger many of her overseas possessions, an? what she has lost in the way of trad will strike a hard blow at her com merce after the war is over and sh begins to build again upon the wrrei and ruin of a once prosperous coun try. It bas been charged by the allies that Germany forced the war for three main purposes, to wit: First to secure a second outlet on thc Nert; Sea through the mouth of the Scheldt: second, to obtain tor Austria poxy.r control over the Balkan stat 's anc the port of Saloniki; third, to gah for herself the whole of the Congi Baain, Morocco, a part of Portugu?s* Africa, tjbe greater part of Turkey 1? Asia, an enlarged sphere ot influence in China, and eventual control of tb Dutch Indies. If this ambitious scheme of conquest and territorial enlargement i.oald l> carried ont? Germany would loom ir aa the mightiest power tn the world Bul the Kaiser counted his breed o! chickens too soon. Not only have these colonial possessions been hold stiely to.the powers that own them, but Germany's colonial outposts have been ovtorrun and taken away frcm her? . France will fall heir to the Kame runs and Togoland, which adjoin her African colonies. Southwest Africa will go to England, thus enlarglr.? that portion of the British Empire. The British flag In East Africa w<l take the place ot the Germen colors and the islands of tints South Sen! owned by Germany will he divided among ber enemies. Kiaochow, tak en by Japan months ago, will be re stored to China with an obligation not to give K to a foreign power. The German ambition for territorial expansion overseas began after til* Franco-Prusuian war, but even then the cbolceat portions of the glebe had been occupied by Kng'.and and France. Germany succeeded In get ting a foothold in Africa, lu the South Seas and in other portions of the world. The few colonies that she has owned have contributed vaat stores of raw material to her manu facturing industries and have swell ed the volume of her commerce tre mendously. If the Teutonic powers tass, a; they eventually must, Germany mus face a rather humiliating situation. Her ambition stifled, her industrien at home crippled, her colonial pos sessions striped from her and given to her bitterest onemles the problem of building anew will bc attended by all sorts of distressing conditions. England and France will dominate more completely than Kley have ev?' done these outposts of empire, am' they will be the nations to reap tin rich harvests of immense producing areas in Africa and in other portions of thc globe. The British Empire owes much of her greatness to tho wealth she Las drained in a constant stream from lier colonial possessions, and it looks as if the war will leave her in a position of commanding importance as a world power In politics and in trade. Thc sun will never cease to set on Brills: soil, and the diVroibcnt of British progress will sound louder than ever as lt leads the captains and cohorts of empire to the uttermost parts of the earth.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS ?0 HAVE BIG CONTEST EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR GAME THIS AF TERNOON "I have Just received a telephone message from Spartanburg stating that thc Rcthal high Behool football team would certainly be hero tomor row afternoon." stated Captain Jones of tho Anderson high school football team yesterday afternoon. "The mes sage stated thal one of their men had been hurt and they wanted to i postpone the game, but aince that did not suit us, they consented to come on tomorrow. I have not fully de cided on the line-up for our team, but it will be a good one. We intend to put up a good fight and want a good crowd out tosca the game.
