NO ACTION TAKEN ON JW CIRCUIT Question of Dividing District Stfll Pending With The Judiciary Committee Representing the Anderson Bar As sociation, T. Frank Watkins and K.' P. Smith are in Columbia where they are appearing before the Judiciar committee of the general assembly to urge that steps be taken to divide the tenth judicial circuit. A delegation from Greenville bas also gone to Columbia, beaded by Judge Earle, to urge the passage of the meaeure and the general opinion with the lawyers of the district con cerned seems to be that it is a wise step. A glance at the cases left on the' docket when thc last tft?m of cour* of general sessions for Anderson county waa concluded shows that there is great necessity for action of some sort being taken. The coun ty at present lb being put to great expense on account of cases that cannot be brought to trial, Bince all, of the attention of the court is taken i wit", the hearing of Jail cases. Proctor A. Bonham, solicitor for! this district, strongly favors thc proposed step and says that in his opinion it is absolutely essential. It is plan/ed to divide the district into two parta, Anderson and Oconee forming one with Greenville and Pick-j ens comprising thc other. It had been expected? that somo statement would be forthcoming from Oolumlbia last night in regard to the matter, but since no action was an-j nounced it is presumed that today will cemainly bring forth some de-j velopmeots; Send A Hurry-up Call For the Police, Quick j There ar? some people in this old world who do not exactly work them selves to death trying to keep other people free from annoyances. An derson certainly has one ot them. Not long ago there was a musical recital in Anderson when almost every man, woman and child In the town wanted to hear the singer. The auditorium was crowded. A deter mined tittie ota woman, well ast mid dle age, wlht an aquiline nose and an underBlung jaw, bustled into the auditorium where possibly one thou sand people were straining to hear every note. She almost broke up the gathering. She dragged with her, at the end of a slender chain, a little rst-faced, black and tor, terrier, WITH BELLS ON! It had a sort of barnese-llke thing over its shoulders with tiny sleigh bells all over it She went well up to the front with the dlngling and jingling pet at her heels and choosing a place where there were two vacant seats, she ar ranged one for the "purp" and the other for herself. The man who had the dlstlnghinhed honor of sltttog just nert to the dog,, arm in arm, as it were, could not move away as there were other people on the other side of him. At che part of the program, where the singer's voice' waa soaring almost divinely, as though inspired, the dog was attacked by a regiment of fleas. Every time a flea blt him he would scratch himself and every timo he scratched himself lt sounded like Santa Claus coming down the chlni ney on a Christmas niora. People all around in that immediate vicinity were miserable-but little did that old lady care. She enjoyed every minute of the entire ierrorraance and looked as though sue would like to holler for more when the program was completed. *^ if.

Waa Sob jed Masterly Handled bj Talented Speaker The fourth number on the Collage Lyceum was Frank Dixon, who de livered ono of his characteristic lec tures at the college autdtorlum last night to a capacity audience. His subject was "A Square Deal", and in this bc showed the tendency of the times towards giving everywhere a square deal in all things. Forcible were many of thc illustrations and Ideas used'by the speaker, and Con vincing waa the argument used to bhow that In this day of corporation end capital on ono side and Individual on the other, it u/as impossible to se cure un absolutely square deal. So m o of tile remedies offered to correct abuses of the resent day dis criminations were striking. Mr| Dixon beleves that every drop ot water thould be squeezed out of the capital stock of corporations, and such legia iatlon passed would prevent a rich corporation from discriminating against one man in favor ot another, or one business against another. He was especially severe in his arraign ment of the railroads as corporations and their discrimination by freight rates and belayed shipments. A rail road, he said, is essentially a monop oly, and their power of discrimination ls the most deadly weapon of-the modern buelnesn world. In order to hasten the coming of the time of the square deal, business and politics should be divorced for if business men shape the laws they will be made to favor the int?r?ts of the individual lawmaker. A rather unique as well as forceful measure advocated by the speaker was that lawyers for both the prose cution and Che defense should be ap pointed by the State and lt should bo impossible for any man or concern to purchase either prosecution of de. Tense to- influence the ends of jus tice. "Justice," said the speaker, "Ia the moat expensive luxury under tho sun; the poor man can.only dream of lt at mtidnight, and this is the shame of the age, that money is- allowed to influence Justice/* The approaching of the day of square dealing in all things ls ap proaching, and lt may be hastened by the wise selection ot leaders. All he asked was an open field and a fair chance, and ? the pride of Americans lies.on the tack that in this country coane the chances for the realization of this dream. Dr. Dixon was happily introduced by Dr. Vines, pre?!der t qf rhe Ander son, college. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the lecture, which was not a bit dry. 'hut was sparkling with gems of thought, and full of wit and hu mor. ? r'The next numtfber will be a lecture recital by air Edward Baxter Perry, on the evening of Feb. 9th. JOHN T.
