The People believes that the tax payers of Barnwell County are growing tired of the practice of lawyers in-Col umbia and Charleston and elsewhere bringing damage suits to BarnWell for trial when the accident for which recov ery is sought oocured in some other county. There is nearly always more or less prejudice against a corporation and the lawyers of South Carolina are evidently under the impression that -this pretndtcrlfTnmypTgnStfhced Here than in other sections of the State. If that is the case these is all the mo^e reason to make the change advocated by The People, i. e., that cases be tried in the county in which the accident occurs. Under the present mode of procudure a large portion of the courts in Barnwell County are taken up in the trial of civil cases in which the tax payers have absolutely no interest, necessitating the postponing of local matters and the calling of extra terms to clear the congested condition. ‘ Often the most frivilous actions are brought, many of them absolutely with out merit, taken by lawyers on contin gent fees. If the losing side is unable to pay the expenses of the suit, the county foots the bill. In some States, we are told, when a party wishes to bring suit against another, he is re quired to put up a bond sufficient to cover the costs should he lose his case. This tends to keep down litigation and lessen taxes. Why doesn’t some live gentleman with political aspirations make the race forthe legislature this summer and incorporate the ideas suggested above in his platform? We believe that he would receive hearty support from' all sections of the county and win “hands down.” m ,V ' i/ There is one town in South Carolina that realizes the value of a newspaper, and to show that it appreciates the part played by it in town-building the city fathers of Camden have removed the license from this line of business. There is no otjfer one thing (and we say it modestly) that tends to a town’s general advancement than a live news paper, It records faithfully the prog ress of a community, encourages those who are trying to “start something’’ and is ever ready to give a boost to any worthy enterprise that is for the material advancement of the people as a whole. In return they receive very little encouragement. In fact, for the most part everybody takes an especial delight in pointing out an editor’s mis takes. On the other hand there is one gentle man in Barnwell who takes pleasure in repeating to the newspaper fellows the few good things that he hears people S$y about them. Although a “country editor” is usually a “devil” before he takes the easy chair (so-called) he is, nevertheless, very human. His calling tafkes him so. If he is the right sort of an editor he is in close touch with Jhis people, enjoys their successes with them and consoles them in their sor- . By the same token he appreci- hunume treatment from his fel- subeoribe to their home peper-we want none of that Idnd—bat the chari ty of love, benevolence, good. wflL Wordsworth understood iti ‘Thfr charities thif soothe, and heal, : _ I. end blest, Are scattered at the feet of man like flowers.” / For the benefit of those young fel lows who think they are not men full grown unless they get drunk The Peo ple reproduces the following from The Bamberg County Times: That was a fine piece of oratory re cently when a doctor speaking of the drinking young man, said: “The rail roads don’t want him, the ocean liner don’t want him, the banks don’t want him.” Then referring to an advertise ment of a saloonkeeper for a bartender who. does not drink, he continued: “The saloonkeeper does not want him.” Turning with his winsome smile to the audience, he said: “Now, girls, do you want him?” “I haven’t seen my paper this week and am miserable,” said a subscriber who was doing jury duty last week. So the editor “rustled” a few extra copies that were eagerly seized by the news- thirsty jurors. Doesn’t that interest you, Mr. Advertiser? — There is probably luck in odd num bers’. The 19-year old North Carolinian who married a well-to-do widow, aged 99 years, will soon “come into his own.” “A new opera, ‘Cain and Abel,’ has been produced in Germany, and it is said that the ‘Cain’ made quite a hit.” —The State. That’s funny, for he cer tainly wasn’t Abel. "Horrible thought: Suppose Huerta were twins.”—The State. In that event we would be a strong advocate of race suicide. “Saluda is cursed with very few knockers,” says the Saluda Standard. Then the town is blessed. The primary took a two-day treat ment, so to speak, and was completely reformed. “Denounced by Grace.”—Headline over State Convention article. Of course. Now “let the heathen rage.’ London 'Tango" Necklace "Evelyn Thaw" Bracelet These two beautiful pieces of pop ular jewelry are the craze among so ciety women in New York ana the largest cities.
