How lam Ito ports Are made. A CoQinjUtc of 111o liar Association, in u recent communication, call attention to the evils of.the "present system of Law Reporting, which (hey show up in n great variety of ways, and by a exhibition of BOine fact.? wh'ch show that the makers of law books, like ether gentry, nro "a connnerclnl people." This matter is chiefly interesting to the lawyers whose pockets are depleted for tho purchase of these books, and whose shelves aro en cumbered with the ponderous tomes. Rut the people are interested, also, in ?whatever adds to the cost of legal services ns the time and money consumed over these useless hooks certainly do. How unnecessary and how undiscriniinaliug these law. reports uro, a few statements from the Committee's communication will show. Seven independent, reporters in this State now issue seveu series ol regular reports, in all averaging some eighteen volumes aunu illy, Iii the 565 yours ending in 1872, tho law reports published in Luhgluud am muled to 1,03(5 volumes, while during the last 7!) years dUO volumes were published in this State alone, Ucsides, (here nro 11)0 volumes of the I'ni'ud States Reports arid taken all together, the published reports of this county, number more than 2,000 vol unies, which shows how much more a young liepublic cau accomplish in 79 years than tin "effete monarchy" can in fil>5. Those reports are encumbered by useless repetitious. Six volumes of Abbott's Practice Reports, carefully < xumiucd, show one case reported seven limes, and one reported six times, eight in.'cs five times, thirty nine three times, und T.evcnty seven twice. One hundr d and fifty-one of these cases nrciiitrcduo cd iu oilier Rt ports. None of these re appear in (he Common Pleas Reports, and the Par Association Committee compliment Judge Duly od Iiis discrimi nation. Jn eight examined volumes of Rnrrour, one care is reported eight times, :ino one six* Seven cases arc reported fivo times, and fifty-eight arc reputed twice. Very often the opinions ofSpc oial Term nud Gtucrtil Term' aie repor ted togeiher, and .Supremo Court duct sions arc reported ul'Wr they have been u?irmed or reversed by tho Court of Appeals. Thf? of course is ubso'utcly unnecessary, u mere waste of words anil a heedless dUr-gird of what the Courts arc doing. The hooks are filled with bad laws and no law, and hundreds ol ?|uestions of no sort of importance arc raised, the appeal often being made side f'cr the purpose of delay. There is also u needless prolixity iu the reports, mid tho vo'.u-jos aro padded nud distended beyondII reasonable proportions. Some of the English reports contain more than two hyudred cases. The earlier volumes of Johnson contain one hundred and filly cases; while the average of our pres ent Reports is something like seventy five or eighty. Another peculiarity of l.aw Reporting is the archaic side ol it, und the delving after fossils, so conside rately indulged in. Thus Rnrh mr ro ports a case in 1.872, which was decided in 1862. Th ig CBSO was reported by him in 1863, though it had baen reversed at that timo. Another "oascj decided iu 1882. was reversed iu 1863, and repor ted in Harbour hist. year. Iu one of Keyor's roporls, n head note contains proposition which the Court distinctly said it did not determine. There are also long delays in publication-, and im portant casos arc four of five years in getting into print. The Par Committee conclude their review of this subje without unking any recommendation, and (hey appeal to the lawyers of the State lor suggestions before they submit a defiuits proposition. Kuough is known of this Pa v Reporting business now to show that it is an evil from which the Par should ho rescued nud one whom amendment is of very great importance, i?A'- V. Com.

A shingle factory ha? l ern started', on the Ranks of the Kditfto, alt hough tho Machinery i* not \vh;rt it should be, still with pro per management and will? improved machinary, another factory would meet with Mieeess. Now Mr. Editor, there is plenty of room to start another factory. MueJiin cry and u complete out lit can bo pro cured for six thousand dollars. This amount will cover every thing. With this capital d factory can be started, that will turn out twenty thousand bMligks per day, ouly allowing 300 working dayu per auoumu, which would produce six I million shingles pnr aunuruu, and at $5 per 1000 would amount to thirty thousand dollars. Allowing 92.50 per thousand to manufacture the shingles would be fifteen thousund dollars, this would leave a profit of $15000, being 100 per cost, on 80000 captial investod. This looks like a largo profit but it is truo. 1 will giro a few facts, which will convince any reasonable mind that these figures arc a low estimate. Shingles are worth 87 to ?8 iu Char let-ton per thousand and 810 to 811 in Northern markets. Iu putiug the price to nett 85 por thousand in Oran-zoburg and 82 50 cost to make this would have a clear prfilit as above stated. I propose to make up a stock company, with a capital of six thous ami dollars, say 10(1 shares at 800 each. There is another fact to he taken into consideration, which is the manufactcr ling all kind of sla\cs. which arc in [ great, demand. The raw material cau be very easily obtained on the Kdi.-tu River, where all the different kind of woods that arc required can be had.

TACTS. [OOMMUNICATKD.] Mr. Editor. ? Your paper has been decidedly improved, and looks much better than usual, ami I am glad to see it ; as it is one of Orangcburg's prom i cut institutions, and should receive the liberal patronage of this community.

Ar< ir iSfrt'cts, Market^ Public Weigher, etc, in all which 1 heartily agree and believo the majority of our Townsmen ft*vor? It is iu this connection, I write ; the citizens of OrangcbUrg arc becoming tired of the loose und unlawful manner in which the prcseut incumbents arc granting] and have been granting retail liquor license, they arc certainly aware of the feet that their e.-nduct is not in accordance With the law of the Stotc They certainly can seethe effect of this grog-shop sy-Rtcru in our Town aud should take some steps to prevent it j before this community is completely demoralized. They may say that they have already issued these licenses, and that they cannot recall them. They can certainly do as tho Council of Caiu den S. C. has done, and show to the people that they are desirous of reme lying the tnatlcr in the future. The Caniden Council have sceu the evil they were doing and hev; passed the f l owing : CAMP**, 8. C, May 10, 1*73. Resolved, That in future, Council will grant no license to retail spirituous liquors within the corporate, limits of the town, except in a rict accordance with the State law regulating the satuc. And that no license will be renewed after the prcFent qunrtcr expire*, to those already granted, except in accord ance with the law of the State as above stated.

Tho clectiou aroused intense local interest and excite l incut, and groalctirgerness will b; foil to knowt he result.

The chairman of the comity canvas sers, Captain Norhtod, under legal advice promiucut lawyers.a.

The citizens of Blackville, prominent among whom were Mr. Maloncy, Mr. Simon Brown, (fl.r.; fjirtigue* and othcra, tiled a protest, impeaching the election at several precincts iu the county, and demanded that their protest be sjnt up to the Slate board ofcan vcrssors.

In the up country, in the low country, all over tho Statu, it would surprise any hot a newspaper man, wluwo business it is to look into these tli-ngv to realize what the colored pooplo arc doing. In the t up country thoy arc working bard, sav ing their isjnney, buying live, ton and twenty acre tracts and building up their own humble and prosperous homesteads. I h the middle counties ?lioy arc progress ing still more rapidly and successfully. In the low county the amount ol cotton the colored pcop'? send to market is nMoni?dV?ng, and irt sumo places they, have in copartnership purchased some of the finest plantations along tho coast. All over tho State they arc buying at the close of the busiu :?a scison, lands, * horses und funning stock cf all kinds. Cpou every specica of this proporty they hnvo to pay tax, nnd those who own no property hove to meet the tax gatherer through their daily labor; because, if they go to the country store to buy ba con, coffee, sugar, flour or any of the necessaries of life, they have to pay a price that will cover the store koeper's tax and other expenses ol his business. These Im Iis the people are beginning to learn, to talk about *o each other, and they are beginning to investigate the conduct of their public officers. They see a muu go to the Legislature or into some county offico who bud not money enough to buy a new hat, and io a few months be can drive a horse and bugt-y and wear a gold chain that dazzle the eye of the very men who sent him into office. They begin to understand this sort of thing und to douiahd that the uieu in office shall be careful h iw they lavish the public funds, tax the people and plunder and defraud them an 1 th;ir families. This thing cannot lust always and i? fast playing out. It must die out in the very nature of things; und if* th > people can hardly stagger un ler the imposition of a tax of one million ml a b ill' per year, what will they say to a tax of over three millions and a 'oal and llta money gone out of the ?jatc with as lit Lie. sign of benefit to the n as any that lias gone heretofore??Union lie.raid. i ??i . - . <?mm i start ling; Coiiffesodoii of Crime?? fteiierutiona Foisoned by u Female Friond, W ho Dies by EIcr 4J\\ in IIhikI.
