' twar r.SELESS LITIGATION Tt was remarket! a few days ago bv a prominent attorney that about hal ~ or more of all the civil cases ever started in the courts are either compromised or otherwise disposed of without an actual leg.al battle before the judge and jury. It appears to be so. This shows that too many actions are brought; there are too many contested by defendants. Instead of encumbering the dockets waiting for a chance to get the useless cases placed on the list for trial, the cases ought to be fixed up by the parties themselves, or ended in the offices of the attorneys. Frequently, indeed, it is the case that an action will be brought and the defendant will employ a lawyer and put in an answer. Judging bv his answer, oftentimes, a layman would say that the defendant has a -jjood defense, but by this he only means that he has a good defense provided his allegations can he established as alleged by him. By watching a case of this kind it will be found that the contesting party only waits a length of time until the case is about to be called for trial, and then he pays up or concedes the point that is in dispute and the case ends at once. In all such cases it is certainly a waste of time, both for the attorneys and the parties involved, to prepare for ,a trial that will never come ofT. Time is the thing which is wasted in the courts more than even money. The way to stop this useless work is to educate people to the point of knowing that time lost is the same thing as money lost. By contesting over some small matter in the courts thcv may gain a small sum I MANY SPECIA!

Litigation is a thing which should always be discouraged. It is an of*ense at common law to cause and bring about litigation that is without foundation, but carried out only for the purpose of making fees. While ;uch is against the law in modern fimes there is no attention paid to enforcing it. Men always involved in litgation 'vo far from happy men. They are further in the expenditure of time mid money than they expected to have to go when they began it. Suits are >ften started when men are young Mid these same men are dead before here is /my final termination of the ases.

The reputation of the , Conway Klondikes was known . throughout the .principal northern Markets. Later on interest in raising strawberries began to slacken and cotton and tobacco were both planted. Now cotton is out by reason of the weevils. Tobacco is still a good money crop, but it is not every farmer's land that will suit the raising of this. We repeat the statement that it is time to return to the raising of strawberries and we hope the planters will do this. o CALOMEL S VLIV ATES EVEN WHEN CAREFUL Treacherous Drug can not be Trusted and Next Dope may Start Trouble Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate you and make you suffer fearfully from soreness of gums, tender '\ess of jaws and teeth, sv.*ollen tongur and excessive saliva dribbling frorthe mouth. Don't trust calomel. 11 is mercury; quicksilver. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out just go to vour druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful rnd if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you just go back and get your money. If you t/ike calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great. No salts necessary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and can not salivate Advertisement. o TRESPASS NOTICE All persons are hereby forbidden to enter or trespass in any manner, such as hunting:, fishing, trapping, or interferring with, or cutting or removing any of the timber, brush or straw on my lands in Floyds township.

PEOPLE SHOULD MAKE CORRECTION IN TAXES No Right to Charge One Man More Than Another to Educate His Children. S. J. Wall, the superintendent of education of Marion county, writes very interesting and timely crticlc last week in the Marion Star, and iuit some <"?f the views recently expressed by the Herald alontr 1! same lino in relation to the taxation for maintenance of schools that we reproduce the article here in full a follows: "At this time many of our citizen are considering the problem of taxation in its various forms. There seems to be one phase overlooked, that which pertains to our educational institutions. When the framers of the Constitution provided for a three mills tax to be levied for school purposes on all the property of the state, they adopted a system of equal taxation for the schools in South Carolina. Since thai time many laws have been passed which tend to defeat the purpose of the Constitution. Since the framing of the Constitution our people have found that a three mill tax levy is not adequate to rive the children of our state the Myiining they need. The plan adopted to provide sufficient funds for this purpose was to divide the various counties into school districts and to levy a special tax wherever the people w?nfod a longer term than the revenue from the three mills tax would provide. This method which was intended to be democratic is not equitable. It would be if there were no corporate weilth in n rountv, but since there is, under the district svstem. it enables some children to have excellent educational pd vantages nt very little expense to their parents, whereas possibly an adjoining* district is heavily ?>i]v'1<*mp<1 with taxes and has only meager school facilities. This difference is brought about, because some districts have railroad property in them which exceds by far the value of the other property, thus making the .assessed valuation of the property greater than in the districts whicn have no railroads. Tn this case, people who live in a district where there RCHANTS ON KEDU LINES OF =??= =t SUPPL ow doing business. We now le stand where all this stock i ive.

Yet all our people help to support the railroads. I have in mind one school district in Marion county in which the assessed valuation of the property is >ver half million dollars, whereas in an adjoining- district it is less than i hundred thousand dollars; another case is that of a district in which the assessed valuation is .ipproximatelv 100.000 while in a nearby district it is less than 100,000. There are others that show similar inequalities. Is it equitable to require one man to pay one dollar to educate his child n'l his neighbor four dollars? Itononis to me that some adjustment should bo made in order to establish :\ more equitable basis. This can be clone either by abolishing district lines in levying special for school purposes or apportioning the tax derived from the corSee Whal We have ins tallc invention in the wa) It shows you ex you get.
