COIHTS CONGESTED Anderson is growing lu litigation ami in crime as will u * in material matters of a better kind We have Been for some time a discussion of the merits of a bill proposed by Hen ntor Wilton Ii Barle of Greenville le divide this circuit and to group Anderson with Oconee J Greenville with Pit-kens. At iirst we gave little thought to the proposition, hut up on investigation we tind that the courts are in a deplorable condition/ The grand jury of this county has alrcudy turned In true bills enough to keep petit juries busy for four weeks. There are upon the dockets cases against sellers of liquor und; other malefactors that will never u?>| tried. Tlcre i? a custom of dii?i>o8-j ing of Jail cam firnt. and this leaves the appeal cases and the liquor caa-j os never to be heard. Some remedy is needed. We have asked for in formation on the subject -ind Solici tor Proctor A. Bonham has furnished u.s with the following statistics: 1 most heartily urge the pn?sage of such a bill, for as conditions now are it is Impossible to keep the calen dars in Anderson and Greenville counties any where near clear. The criminal docketH especially have nev er Muco 1 have been solicitor, which Is now live years, been clear, and an time goes' *0ti thev continue to get more clogged. "There nr.- now on the Anderson docket more canes, with over ilf ty new' indictments to be handed out at the coming term. The Greenville docket is in u similar condition. You can readily t?eo what the result la. The great majority of the cases can not bo txied, for by the time the Jail is cleared and the capital felony cas c . tried the term is at an eud. By the timo the next court convenes, the same condition exists with the same result. The conEcquence ' i? that many casp3. which if they could be promptly tried would net a return to the county','are never reached for the reason that the witness get scat tered or the prosecutors so discour aged they.jdrop their cn?^s. "In the event that tho case is fi nally tried and convicted, tho county has been put, in all probability to to' In costs than the fine to. 4 "For the reasons above stated, dis pensary cases in the two largo coun ties are seldom ever tried, and nre not disposed of unless the defen dants agree to plead guilty, if a small fine"'Is imposed. "I know It to be true of Greenville and I am Informed that in Anderson too. if Is ten or twelve months bc 4sro s case- caa,- qjt reached on the civil docketv i - ; the circuit be divided, putting An derson aud Oconee in one circuit, and Greenvlle and Pickens In. the other, tho additional expense Incur red thereby wo'Ud be more than offset by the prompt dispatch of business. The ?t?te would be saved money and the moral effect of a Bpeedy trial for criminals would be a healthy and beneficial one for tho community. "I see by the papers that at at tempt to establish a county court may he made This in my opinion will u?t bring tho relief needed. First, because -the probability of tho people voting It la alight, and second, because it would not affect Ander son county, which is as badly In need of relief as Greonvlllo la." HORN TO HERVE. !

Uns} Scene iu broadweU's Conti r'or Two Days. Monday .iud Tuesday brought sev eral coses up for attention In the court of Margistrate Broadwell and Judging from the lines placed on those who dared stand the veat of being arraigned bcloro this official, It w ill be some time before they again appear. In the cusc of Gus Hall, a negro. Charged with being "V. and D." which in translated for the benefit of The Intelligencer s readers as stand in,'; for having imbibed too freely In do juice thnt exhllerutcu and there upon besoming obnoxious to the cus todians of the peace, a fine of $50 was lui] : ^ed. Gus managed to scrape togethe: .he necessary amount and went on his way, presumably n sad der but wiser man. . Henry Thompson, nlso of hiibky due, appeared before the bni of jus tice to show cause why he should be sarrying around on his per/ion a min iature guttling Rtir.. In o?'.ior words. Henry was charged with carrying a pbitol. It was found that he could furnish no satisfactory explanation as to why he should enjoy this de cided advantage over his fellow men and he was therefore forced to part with the munlftcent kuiu of $?u which Magistrate Mroadwell received with thanks. Charles O'Shlelda, a white man, faced two serious chargea, these be ing false representation and the ad ditional matter of having wandered away from tue domicile where he hud been wont to sutiete the cravings of tho inner man without having re membered to remunerate in the coin u? the reaim of the house Keeper of the afore metj.ion stAbiishmcnt. It seemed that O'Shields has siinply bcat his board bill and since Mag istrate Brcadwell was convinced of tho guilt of the defendant he sen tenced him to tho public works Tor 30 dayB. It is not thought likely that he will have any opportunity to leave his present ounrters with any board bill unpaid. Clayton Sloan, a negro, bad been so unreasonable as to try to interfere with an oftTcer when he hlmscir had juBt committed an assault. Magis trate Uroadwell looked upon this with such displeasure that ho ' taxed the defendant to the sum Of $100' and af tor frantic search the defendant final ly succeeded in locating the Iron men and at once made room for some one else In the temple of Justice. This concluded the day's business. PA.^HEI? THKOUHH SENECA Mxk. Woodrow Wilson Pleased to See Old Friend of Her Father Seneca, Jan. 13.?Mrs. W. J.

The Editor's certain that he's the big noise. ! He looks more important than the carrier boys; He sits at a desk, and he bosses the works ! And keeps the gang jumpin' like so many Turks. But what is the use of his work in good shape If the Carrie^ fails to deliver the pape? The Reporters are pretty important young chaps; They write about weddings, hoss races and scraps. Of course they are needed to hunt up the news, But if you should ask for my own honest views I'd say the Reporter needs legs more than brains, For he spends his time running from hotels to j trains. But what good is all the Reporters can do If the Carrier don't bring the paper to you? The printers and pressmen- are all worth their pay; ! They do their work well and with little to say. They are needed at times, and so is the clerk Who takes in the money, though that is not work. But the guy that's the real thing, the one who 1 cuts ice, TU /-? ?'.,11m... i.rUni-a ..^1...-? s>n-n1\r Y\a -fi vr a A 1+ r\ B price, Is the one who begins when the others are through And hurries to bring the paper to you. 1 GREENWOOD READY FOR HORSE SHOW .Is <, \- ?
