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

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

ases. Often it is a fact that the
parties as well as their attorneys will

^ending and undecided in the meantime.
Litigation never pays oxcc?>t in a

Now that the boll weevils have <
come to interfere with the raising of
cotton it is time for the planters to
no back to the strawberry as a money
crop in this section. At one time this
place was a constantly growing straw- |
berry station where shipments were
made every year and planters got
fine returns. 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.

Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate

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

PRESENT PLAN
IS ALL WRONG
Superintendent of Education
of Marion County Makes
This Statement.
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

is no railroad have to pay more than
double the anpount to educate their
children than those wfyo live in a district
where the railroad is located.
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
