The legal fraternity has at last secured the passage of a bill in the House creating two addi tional circuits, which means two more Judgships, two more So licitors. and two more Stenogra phers, nice, fat, juicy jobs for lawyers. There is a saying "the devil takes care of its own," and the lawyers being numerically strong in the legislature have taken advantage of their power and forced upon the taxpayers an additional expense which could have been avoided. The argument to. make this official job-opening for lawyers, is con gested dockets all over the State. and that litigation is ob structed because of accumulated suits. Our observation is that the accumulated suits are not due to a lack of Judges, but it is because lawyers very frequently play for position and have their cases postponed, some times, they do not want a certain Judge to hear the case, other times they. are not disposed to let their causes go before the jury. There are several reasons why the lawyers hoid back their cases. But if the Jaw was made so that suits had to be tried promptly, and the Judges forced the lawyers to have their cases tried or stricken from the docket with costs to the postponing party, the dockets would not become congested, and the tax payers would not be called upon to pension lawyers who are not making a living at. the practice. The Clarendon delegation on the creation of two additional circuits stood, DesChamps voted No and Bradham and Green Yes. The compulsory education bill was killed, and we are glad of it, not because we are opposed to compulsory education, but because, we think no such a law sThould be enacted without first discus sing it with the people, -and'we favor the question of compulsory education being made an issue in the next cam paign, and that each candidate be -required to state how he stands and give his reason. Bradham and Green v o t e d against the bill and DesChamps - for it. We were mistaken in saying last week the DesChamps ex perimental station bill had pass ed the House, it was so stated in one of the daily newspapers and misled us, but notwithstanding it had a favorable report from the committee, and Mr. Des Champs worked hard to get it through, the bill was'killed by a vote of 49 to 3.. Captain Bradham has intro duced a bill to create an addi tional magistrate. for Clarendon cotintv. -We cannot tell from \the title of the bill which section -o t get this additional magis trate. - We presume the tax payers of the section to get this magistrate have petitioned the delegation asking that the office be created, otherwise we hardly think our Representative would have put this additional expense on the county. The effort to have widows of confederate soldiers of the age of 50 years put on the pension list was defeated. Captain Br-a,d ham was among the opposition, and there were so many pension measures, every fellow trying to tickle the "Old Confed," that they became somewhat confused and the pension bills were re ferred to a special committee of which Captain Bradiham is one. Perhaps this committee will be able to get in something which will satisfy all sides. On a bill of Mr. Richards to encourage the erection of ade quate school buildings, our dele gation voted solidly against striking out the enacting words As we understand the bill it pro vides for county aid to erect school houses. The work of the past week has resulted in killing compulsory education legislation, and the passage of a make-shift dispen - sary bill in the Senate, intro duced by Senator Manning. His bill is to our mind no better than the present law, and if enacted into law will only add fury to the flames now kindling under State liquor control. The investigation to be made of the-dspensary is already* be ing looked upon as "fixed," and why should it not be so looked upon. The board of control is composed of three members, the chairman lives in Newberry, one member in Kershaw, the - other in Lexington. All kinds of rumors were afloat with regard to corruption: it was freely stat ed that members of the board were flashing diamonds, sportmng automobiles, investing in real estate, stocks, bonds, etc. The Senator from the county in which the chairman of the 'board resides got in on the ground floor and introduced a resolution to investigate, then after the reso lution was adopted, the Presi committee to conduct the inves ti-gation the Senators represent ing counties in which two mem bers of the board reside. This incident has set people to talk ing of collusion, whitewash etc., but time will tell, and the people are not going to be fooled al ways. 'the best thing done at this session so far by the House was the passag of a bill to purify the primaries, and this will be a farce unless the people take more interest in the meetings called to reorganize the clubs, by sending good men to conven tions who will have the party rules made to conform to the law. The big fight looked for is when the attempt is made to abolish the immigration bureau, then the legislators will be put on their mettle and will go on record whether they are for or against progress. Our own del egation in the House, we hope when they hear the arguments will have the manhood to change their attitude on this question: if they are convinced it is for the best interests of the State. O WHY NOT CAPERS? Congress is soon to give South Carolina another Federal Judi cial District, and an additional Federal Judge. It has been con tended for years by our Repre sentatives that such a district was necessary, and now that it is about to be realized we regret to see our delegation in Congress trying to thwart the appoint ment of an individual, as is indi cated by the reports of a confer ence with the President in which it is stated that members of the delegation wanted, before the bill become a law, to exact a promise from the President that he would appoint some member of the bar now living in the new District. District Attorney Ca pers is said to be a candidate for this position, and itis evident on account of partisan politics, the delegation are opposed to him; they will claim his residence is in Charleston, and not in the District to be created. Captain Capers, if we remember correct ly, is a member of the Green ville bar, where he practiced up to the time he was commission ed District Attorney, and by virtue of his position he made his headquarters in Charleston. We, therefore, cannot see the good reasoning in debaring him from the appointment on account of residence, and if the delega tion is sincere in the necessity for another Judicial District, it strikes us as a weak plea to make a fight against Capers on the ground of residence Captin~ Capers has made an ecletrecord as District At torney, and this being a Repub lican administration, it is but natural that a Republican be ap pointed by the President; we therefore think the President would be safe in nominating Caper-s for this place. We think it but just to con cede that, in the main, South Carolina has been freed from obnoxious Federal appointments, during both, the administrations of the late William McKinley. and Theodore Roosevelt, and much of the credit of this con dition belongs to Captain Ca pers, who has been the Presi dent's guide in making appoint ments for this State. It is con ceded that he is a good lawyer, and has conducted his present office with entire satisfaction. He has not abused the trust re posed in him for partisan pur poses and it is not fair to now return evil for good. There are a number of excel lent lawyers in the comtempla ted new district who we have no doubt would 'adorn the Federal bench, but these belong to the Democratic party, a party not in accord with the appointing power, and it is hardly to be ex pected for the President to go outside of his own party to make an appointment for such a posi tion when he can find good ma terial in his own. We hope the plea of residence will not weigh with the President, and if the new district bill IS enacted. that Captain John G. Capers. of all the Republicans in the State, will be nominated.

We think the people will not relish the idea of the lawmakers giving the same powers to private corpora tions as is given to public car riers. When a railroad condemns private property for railroad purposes the public share in the benefits, but it is not so with a private corporation like an oil mill or a cotton mill. The bill seeks power to condemn a water ower for a cotton mill, and if this right is given. the next step will be to condemn a residence lot to build a cotton factory. The measure is dangerous and should not pass. The Best Physic. When you want a physic that is mild and gentle, easy to take and certaim to act always use Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver- Tablets.

Isaac M. - Loryea, Now that there is no danger of the present session of the leg islature ratifying the defective biennial sessions amendment, and we doubt if the next session can do anything with it either. The matter of biennial sessions should be thoroughly discussed by the press before another leg islature is elected. We believe if the question is thoroughly pre sented, the people will refuse tc vote in favor of biennial sessions when it is again presented tc them. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Mother's Favorite.

McLaurin or the cotton situation has attract en the attention of many writers on industrial problems, among them the "Review of Reviews,' one of the finest magazines pub lished in A-uaerica; the New York Sun, Evening Post, and several of the trade journals. Mr. Alfred Shepperson, the noted cotton statician, has devoted consider able thought to take issue with Mr. McLaurin's views, but he answered completely and con vincingly in an article which we reproduce in this issue. We have seen several of the delegates to the New Orleans convention, and they all agree that the speech of Mr. McLaurin was received with enthusiastic appreciation. The New Orleans papers speak in glowing terms of it, and -They predict that his utterances will mould a senti ment in the South in favor of fostering an American merchant marine, which has heretofore been opposed because of a mis conception created by politicians. Time will prove the positions taken in Congress by Hon. John L. McLaurin were for the ma terial interests and development of the people of the South, and that when national legislation is enacted on the lines he advocat ed our people will not suffer by what the speculators are pleased to term "over-production."

B. Loryea Urug Store. A Strong Paper. Bennettsville, Feb. 2.-Spe cial: To the Editor of the Even ing Post: I notice an article from Mr. Alfred B. Shepperson in your paper, in which he takes issue with some portions of a letter of mine published in the New York Sun of January 17th. I -pointed out in that article the possibility of extending our cotton trade with China and other ports of the world, and in taking issue with me in this Mr. Shepperson says: As a mnattei fact, cotton cloth was man ufac tured in China as early as A. D. 1260 from cotton grown in that country, and that cotton clotlh was not made in the United States until more than 500 years~ later." No one disputes the truth of that statement, but the same might be said of gunpow der: it was used before the birth of Christ in China and not intro duced among us until the time ol the Monk Schwartz, about the middle of the fourteenth century A. D., yet in the Chinese-Japa nese war it was Western gun powder and arms that were ef fective. No one has ever heard of China as a manufacturer or producer of the munitions of war any more than they have of cotton. Printing was used in China in 92, 500 years before Guttenburg gave it to the world, in the fif teen century. No one has ever heard of China as a manufacturer of printing presses any more than of cotton. If, as Mr. Shep person says, in 1903 "more than one-half of our export cotton cloth went to China," why by effort among a population of 400,000,0U00 can we not double these exports? The price of cot ton is low enough in all con science to invite the attempt. There is a great lack of accurate China, but I do not suppose thai anyone would think of her as a cotton prroducing and manufac turing cintry. Chamloer's Encyclopedia, it giving the agricultural products of China, mentions tea, the tal low tree, the mulberry tree, the varnish tree, the camphor treE and the bamboo, Chinese hemp, the poppy, tobacco and rice. 0: the bamboo it says: "The bam boo is of more value than hei mines and next to rice and sill yiekls the greatest revenue." It en-amerates the fruits. veg etables and animals, wheat bar. ley and maize, but in the lis1 does not mention cotton as onE of the great staple products 0: the country. My information is tnat cottor is produced in Middle China and that in the eastern portion 01 that section some cotton is man. ufactured, but that the methodz are very primitive. I do not pretend to be a cottor expert like Mr. Shepperson. What information I have is de rived from cursory readings and Minister Wu. If Mr. Shepperson had heard his speeches delivered by the latter before the American Asi atic Association, of New York, and the Manufacturers' Club, it Charlotte, N. C., I think he would not dispute with -me the va.st possibilities that lie unde veloped in the Orient. But I meant not only China, but other portions of the world. I thoroughly agree with Mr. Shepperson that the. immediate remedy is curtailment of pro. duction, but I disagree with him that for a permanent solution we need the hand of God tc snite our soil and curtail its yield. On the contrary, I say that greater consumption is the safe, sane, natural remedy. I will not give myself as authority but quote one of equal weight with Mr. Shepperson. Mr. A. L. Britton, presideni of the New Orleans Cotton Ex chance, in his address to the Convention, said: "While this great crop har given to the world more cotton than is presently wanted, the time is close at hand when a thirteen million bale crop will prove entirely inadequate to the demand. In justification let me quote an eminent authority. The consumption of cotton has increased so greatly within the quarter of a century that there would appear to be no limit to its future possibilities. It is esti mated that of the world's billion and a half people, about 500 mil lion regularly wear clothes, about 750 million are partially clad, and 250 million habitually go about naked, and to clothe the entire population of the world would require forty-two million bales of cotton of 500 pounds each. It therefore seems more than likely that the cotton industry will go on expanding until the whole inhabited earth is clothed with the product of its looms. This is not an unreasonable conclusion when we consider the fact that cotton is the cheapest material known to-man. . In a letter from Mr. Erister Ashcraft, of Alabama. I glean a a few citations of interest, quot ing from the textile world: "Our English furnishers have been unable so far to produce a cotton cloth like your American sheetings, so popular in the Persian Gulf regions." From Bagdad, Messrs. Dumus Gien & Co., write: "Our Mr. Dumus has~ seen at iBagdad im portations of cotton sheeting and cotton yarns of American origin. Can you inform us where The centre of manufacture can be found." The writer of the let ter referred to says further: "I have before me a letter from a private correspondent in Abys sinia who says: "The son of a Naba Abouka har said to me other day. Since the American sheetings are so reasonable, why does no Ameri cans come here to sell us. A great fortune would be made a uicklyY In this country, where the population demands only tangible things, it would be worth more than all expositions in foreign lands to have right here a simple supply house." "Our Abyssinian trade is con trolled by two tirms. one at Aiden and the other at Marseil les. We are obliged to buy from these two firms or do without." Quoting further from a reliable merchant in the East, he says: "The American manufactur ers have succeeded to such an extent that it is difficult to com pete with them with goods from other countries." Unfortunately, however, these goods pass through the hands of big people in Aden, and we can not get them unless we pay big prices, which are not the manu facturer's prices, etc. I could cite numerous illustra tions of this kind to show that Mr. Shepperson is mistaken when he says that our manufact urers cannot compete with foreign made goods on account of the tariff duties on textile machinery, dyes, etc. An aca demic discussion of free trade and free ships is, however, use less. but I would respectfully re fer him to the recommendations of the Pan-American Congress which met in Washington in 1890 If the tariff is at the roof of the trouble, why has Europe been so much alarmed over an invas ion of American goods? I had the honor to be one of thespeak ers at the annual dinner of the New York Chamber of Com merce a few years ago, when Governor Cummins made that memorable speech giving utter ance to what has since been called the "Iowa Ida."

I still adhere to the opinion that our export trade is hamper ed more in its method of distri bution than the quality or cost of production. I will say as to the shipping auestion: Would Mr. Shepper son, if he were in the grocery business, trust the delivery wagons of his rival across the street to handle his goods andl look up new business for him?

Editor The Manning Times: I am truly disgusted, have finished reading THE TLMEs and notice that D C. Heyward. acting as governor, claims to have spent something over $18,00 for the purpose of catching the Eutawrille lynchers and now wants the general assembly to make provisions for him to be reimbursed for that amount. He claims that he found it necessary to do this in order to bring the guilty parties to justice. Now I would like to ask who is the guilty parties? Is it the men whom he has kept in carcerated in prison for several months? Who so far have never had any chance to vindicate themselves before our court? Which I have not the least doubt, but what they will do? Why should he ask for this amount of money until these would-be victims have had a showing. Why did he not give these men a speedy trial? I have an opinion that he was looking forward to this very time, and knew that if they had had a trial, that they would have been clear, and that would have cut some figure with our representatives in re funding this money to him. It is to be hoped the general assem bly will ignore this part of his message at least until after the gentlemen have had an impartial trial and be acquitted, which I believe they will be. In case they were acquitted. the general as sembly would have no need to make any appropriation to reimburse the governor, for he would have 'acted un wisely and rashly. which if any other man did would have to bear the conse quence alone. Now Mr Editor, you and others may think from what I have said that I had an ax to grind or were related to the men that have been accused of this crime, but I want to say right here that I have no ax to grind, and not re lated in any way to any of the parties, in fact am not acquainted with but two of them. I would not have said a word but these men are still locked up, kept from their families. for what? All be-I cause a dirty, stinking negro was be lieved to have been killed. W. E. DAVIS.
