The supervisor moved his chain gang last week and is now at work on the road between Newberry and the Laurens line. This road has had very little attention for the last number of years and if put in good condition now and made thirty feet wide, will be one of the best stretches of road between Columbia and Greenville. The supervisor is doing some good work and we are satisfied that when he finishes this road it will be one of the best in the State. He should look out for the grades and for the proper drainage, as no doubt he wilL PARLOR CAR SERVICE NEEDED. We notice from the Sumter paper that a movement is being talked of by* the chamber of commerce to re quest the: Coast Line to put a parlor car service on its train between Char leston and Greenville. This matter was agitated some months ago, and really the meeting held in Greenville was called for the purpose of consid ering this request, but it resulted in taking up schedules on the Southern, and as the Southern decided to give us the Pullman service no mention was made of the Coast Line. President Childs, of the C., N. & L., stated some time ago that it was his purpose to put on a Pullman between Columbia and Atlanta on his morning and afternoon trains, which now operate between Laurens and Columbia. We have heard nothing of this for some time, and do not know why Mr. Childs is delaying. The Coast Line has good travel be tween Greenville and Columbia and frequently the train is crowded. It would be a great comfort to passen gers who travel from Greenville to Charleston or even to Columbia to have the parlor car, and we hope that the roads concerned may be able to give this comfort. THE COURTS. t We agree with our cotemporary, the Observer, that the system of sending our circuit judges through every county in the State is useless, and is not only expensive to the judges but is calculated to break down their health, several of the judges, as the Observer points out, being now unable to hold their courts on account of Ill ness. As to the Newberry court last week, and the proper judge to hold that court, it seems to -is that if the posi tion of 'Judge Aldrich and the mem bers of the Newberry bar Is correct; then the arrangement of the courts may easily get in a hopeless tangle. We have had some experience in ar * - ranging court schedules as a mem -ber of the legislature, and have been associated with lawyers who have ar ranged the schedules in their circuits, and, it had been our understanding that the year was divided into three terms -of four months each, and that a judge held all the' courts in a cir cuit during the four months, the spring term consisting of January, February, March and April; the sum mner term of May, June, July and Au '7- gust, and the fall term of the remain ing four months. For instance, we recall that when the act provided that no civil jury cases should be tried in Newberry during the summer term, it was held that no jury cases could be tried at the May civil court, May being the first month in the summer term, and the act was amended so as to strike out the inhibition as to jury eases at the summer term. At that time Judge Klugh, who was assigned to hold the summer terms of court in this circuit, came to Newberry and heard some equity causes. Last year * Jr uge DeVore, who was assigned to hold the summer terms of court in this circuit, held the May court. Take a concrete case of the confus ion whicli would result if the New be. y court should be called a spring term simply because it is the first term for the year. Under the act of 1910 Newberry could have had two weeks of court in May, if she had de sired, or even three, and this year, as there are five Mondays in May, the court could have continued for four weeks. Suppose the court had run into this week, as allowed by the act. Under the decison reached here last week, Judge Dantzler should have been holding this week's court-had there been any court this week. Judge Dantzler, the judge of the first circuit,; is assigned to hold the courts of the seventh circuit for the summer term, and the courts in the seventh circuit opened yesterday morning; so that Judge Dantzler would have had two: appointments-one in the eighth and one in the seventh circuit. As mat ter of fact, Judge, Dantzler is ill, and a special judge is acting for him in the seventh circuit. It is not improbable that some fu ture schedule will start the summer terms of the seventh circuit on the first Monday in May, which under the decison reached here last week would leave Newberry without a judge to hold the first week of her May court. Take another concrete example: If the decision on last Monday a week ago was correct, and the first term of court is the spring term, simply because it is the first term, then would it not follow logically that the second term will be the summer term, because it is the second term, and that Judge Aldrich, who is assigned to hold the summer terms in this cir cuit, would be the proper judge to hold Newberry's September court? As matter of fact, Judge Aldrich will be engaged in holding. the courts of the seventh circuit iMi September. So, there must be some definite fix ed time when the circuit judges go from one circuit to another, and if that is not the case now, as we had always thought it was, then,; in order to avoid confusion, a change is im perative. GRADE. CROSSINGQS. The C., N. and L. is having the grade crossings of the public, road between Newberry and Prosperity' put in good condition .to conform to the act of the legislature. -We under stand that nothing is being done by the Southern./ We suppose the rwoad overseers or township inspectors will see that this is done. The crossings between Newberry athd Prosperity have been in very bad condition,. and with the number of trains that are now operated on these two roads, are really dangerous. We hope that the suggestion to re locate the main road between New berry and Prosperity may receive the co-operation of the property owners. It would be less dangerous and a bet ter road could be made. As before stated, the road could be .so located as to avoid all crossings of thie C., N. & L., and all but one of the cr'ossings of the~ Southern between Newberry and -Prosperity. Letter From Babyland. Babyland, via Storkville, May 2, 1910. Mr. Printer man: I'zn a little baby girl, and arrived at the home, of Mr. and Mra.. R. Fleming Jones last Fri. day morning, and although I have only been in this great big world a few days, I'll have you know that I am the boss at our house. Whenever I want anything, all I have to do Is to raise my voice-then everybody works overtime to find out what I want. I watch 'em and blink at 'em; It's folly fun. .My papa will have to provide for some lolly-pop, some par egorie and a bottle of Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup. There is a sweet, pale-faced woman with her head ly-; ing on a' pillow near me. She is good to me, and I see right now that we are going to get along all right to gether. I am the owner of a very fine; soprano voice which I cultivate every night. Owing to my late arrival, Mr Printer man, I have not yet gone out into society, and I have met only a' few people. Dr. Teague and Dr. Fer-. guson called on me, and they were quite pleasant. They were my first callers after I came to town. If my name is not on your "calling list" will e pleased to have you place it there. Grandpa has found a name for me, so -0u can just put me down on your "calling list" as Little I.au:a Vance Jones. -Laurensville Herald. Humor of the Stone Age. A bunch of merry souls had gather ed in the den of Ab, the cave man. A tender young pterodactyl had been the tcothsome mess sly jests went round. Flint, the hammer man, told one on his mother-in-law: Jock, the arrow hewer, said that all the Cave: City policemen were Irish; Hit, the corn pounder, told of the fire sale in Jerusalem, and every frish quip brought out roars of laughter. Then Nip, the hunter, who had been vigor ously sucking a bone, looked up with a merry twinkle in his eye. "I know whose grandmother will be dead tomorrow," he announced. "Whose?" cried the burch, spring ing from the floor of the cavern. "Everybody's,, said Nip. "It's the I opening of the Cliff Dwelers' baseball association season." Then everybody groaned. The joke was so everlasting old.-Judge. NOTICE. We hereby warn all persons from hunting or fishing or otherwise tres passing on our lands. H. B. Lindsy. F. A. Scurry.
