GOOD ROAD WORK.
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.

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.
