Jflttw law Kcjxm Is Are made.
A Committc of tlie Bur Association, in
s? recent communication, call attcntiou to
the evils uf tlie present eystqui nf Law
Reporting, which they show up in n great
variety of ways, and by a exhibition of
some facts uh'ch show that the makers
of law books, liko etiler gentry, are "a
commercial' people." This matter is
chiclly interesting to the lawyers whose
pocket* are depleted for tho purchase of
these book", Und whoso shelves arc on -
cumbered with tho ponderous tomes.

Whatever adds to the cost of legal services

unnecessary and how nndisci imiiialiug
these law reports arc, a few statements
from the Committee's communication
w ill show. Seven independent reporters
in this Stale now issue seven series ol
tegular reports, iu all averaging some
eighteen volumes annu illy. In the 505
years ending in 1 .S7:2, the law reports
published in England Ulli (tinted to 1,03(1
volumes, while during the last 71) years
?100 volumes' were-published in this Stale
alone. Besides, there are 190 volumes
of the I"tiiic.d SlatOS Reports utfd taken
all together, the published reports of this
county number more than 2,000 vol
times, which shows how mach more a
young Republic can accomplish in 7:(
years than an "effete monarchy" can in
565? These reports arc encumbered by
useless rcpotitious. Six volumes of
Abbott's Practice iu^orls, Carefully
examined, .show one case reported seven
times, and one reported six times, eight
Luces five times, thirty nine three times,
and ECVOUty seven twice. One liuudr d
and fifty-one of these cn*cs arc itltroduc
cd iu other Ri ports. None of these re
appear iu the Common L'leus lleports,
and tlio Ear Association Committee
compliment Judge Daly on his diacrimi
nation, [n eight examined vnlumo* of
Earrour, one care is reported eight times,
nno one six- Seven cases arc reported
five times, and fifty-eight are reputed
twieo. Very often the opinions ofSpc
cial Term and Gtucrttl Terni .no r?p ir
ted together, and Supreme Court dcci
si?irs are roportod uftvr they have boon
uffirilicd or reversed by tho Court of
Appeals. This of ouriQ is iibso'utcly
liunecessary, a mere waste of words and
11 heedless disregard of what the Courts
arc doing. The books ate filled with
bad laws and no law, and hundreds ol
?pu?stiuns of no sort uf importiineo are
raised, the appeal often being made sole
for the purpose of delay. There is also
it*needless prolixity in the reports, und
tho vohmos ore padded and distended
beyondjill reasonable proportions. Si me
of the English reports contain more than
two hvudrcd cases. The earlier volumes
of,John-on contain one hundred and
lil'ly cases; while the av rage of ouf pre,
ent Eeports is something like sceiity
five or eighty. Another peculiarity of
Law Reporting is the archaic side ol it.
and the delving after fos*ils, So consi le
rately indulged in. Thus llaih nir re
ports a c.isj iu 187*2, which wa* decided
in lSO'J. This case was rep u ted by him
in ist;;;, though it bad baon reversed al
that timo. Another 'oasoj decided in
1882, was reversed iu 18G3, and repor
ted in Harbour last year In one of
Keycr's reports, a head note contains a
proposition which tho Court distinctly
said it did nut determine. There are
also long delays iu publication, and im
portaut ciisos are four of five years in
getting into print. The Ear (Jmumittci
conclude their review of this subject
without unking any recommend it ion,
and they appeal to the lawyers of the
State f"r suggestions before ihcy suhniil

To llir Kill tor of the. Oriiuf/rlmri/ rVrwB.
,J)nir Sir. ? We need Northern men
in this Southern Country, to develop
our resources. Wc have proof enough
that onr own peoplo llQVO the capacity,
and like roily the will, to do ll at which
will belie?t onr county. A shingle
factory bus I c< u started, on the llntrks
of the Kdisto, although'the Muohinory
i* not wlurt it should be, still with pro
per management aud with improved
machinal)-, tillOlTlcr factory wnuhl meet
wit ll MICIVSS.
Now Mr. Ivlit.-r. there is plenty of
room to start another factory. Mncllin
eiv and a complete out lit can be pro
cured for six thousand dollars. This
Amount will cover every thing. With tbi
capital n factory can be started, that will
turn out twenty lhou<nud hMngU* per
I day, ouly allowing 300 working days
per auoumti, which would produce six
i million shingles por aunuiuu, and at
35 per 1000 would amount lo thirty
thousand dollars. Allowing $2.50 per
thousand to manufacture the shingles
would he fifteen thousund dollars, this
would lcavo u profit of ?15000, being
; 1U0 per cost, on &G000 captial invested.
This looks like a largo profit but it is
truo. I will give a lew facts, which
will convince any reasonable mind that
these figures arc a low estimate.
! Fhiuglcs nie W?rth S7 to ?8 in Char
loston per thousand mid 810 to 811 iu
Northern markets. In put'ng the price
to nett ?5 por thousand iu Orun?nburg
and 82 50 cost to make this would have
a clear pfolit as above stated.
I propose to make up a stock
company, with a capital of six tbous
and dollars, say Kill shares at SOU each.
There is another fact to be taken into
consideration, which is th i mauufactcr
ing all kind of Slav es, which are in
great demand. Tho raw material can
be very easily obtained oil the Kdi.-to
LUver, where all the different kind of
woods that arc required can he had.
j he writer of this erticlo hopes thai
some of our prominent citizens will give
this article due consideration, ami any
further information or explanation will
bo cheerfully given, to demonstrate tho
great bility of an cutci prize of this kind.

Mr. Kililor.?Your paper bus boon
decidedly improved, and looks much
better than usual, and 1 am glad to SCC
it; as it is ono of Orangeburg's prom
i .cut institutions, and should receive
the liberal patronage of this community
In your issue of the 7th instant you
ppoke of the coming municipal election,
and "V] vised what tjio next Council
should be" required to do, in regard to
ecttain Town improvements, v'z. tYoo
tilrtets, Market, l\iblic Writ/her, etc, in
all which I heartily agree and believe
the majority of our Townsmen favor.
It is iu this connection, I write ; the
citizens of Or'atigchtii? arc becoming
tired of the foose anil vnluirfttl manner
in which the proseut iucun.beets arc
granting, and have been granting retail
liijuor license, (bey arc certainly aware
of the foe! that their e mluct is not in ?
accordance with the law of the State.
They certainly can sec the effect oflhis
grog-shop system iu our Town ami
should take BOIII0 Steps to prevent it ;
before this community is completely
demoralized. Thuy may say that they
have already issued these licenses, and
that they cannot recall them. They
can certainly do as the Council of Cam
den S. C. has done, and show lo the
people that they arc des tro.is of reiUQ lying
the matter in the future. The Caiuden
Council have scou the evil they were
doing and heve passed the f 1 owing :
Camp**, S. C, May 10, 1873.
Resolved, That ih luture, Council
will grant no license to retail spirituous
liquors within the corporate limits of
the town, except in .- fict accordance
with the State law regnhtttug the same.
And that no license will be renewed
after the present quarter expires, to
those already granted, except iu accord
ance with the law of the State as above
statid.
It ap] ears Mr Ktlittir that bat rooms
arc a necessary ertlj and that iten will
drink j if so. let the bar rooms be con
ducted in a lawful and eentqcl way, and
1 will assure you there will he less

drunkards.
If the present Cofincil lcill tin their

All over the country the polorrd pc<>

ing, economical, thrifty population. In
the up country, in (he low country, all
over the State, it would surprise any but
a newspaper man, whoso business it is
lg look into these things, lo realize what
the colored people are doing. In tin'
up country they nre working bard, sav
ing their money, buying live, ten and
twenty acre tracts an 1 building up (lieu
own bumble and prosperous hnuiusloads.
I ii the middle counties thoy are progress
ing still more rapidly and successfully.
In the low count- the amount ol cotton
the colored pro|>'< send to market is
astonishing, and in some pi nes they,
have iu copartnership purchased some
ol' the fines! plantations along the coast.
All over (he State they ate buying at
1 the close of the bUsjuCSS SC 14011, lands.
horses und farming stock of all kinds.
I pon every species ol this property they
havo to pay tax, and those who own uo
property have to meet tho tax gatherer
through their daily labor; because, if
they go to the country store to buy ba
con, codec, sugar, Hour or any of the
necessaries of life, they have to pay a
price that will cover tho store keeper's
tax and other expenses of his business.
These truths tho people are beginning
to learn, to talk about to euch other, and
they are beginning to investigate the
conduct of their public officers. They
sec a man go to the Legislature or into
some county office who bad not money
enough to buy a new hat, aud in a few
