The Newberry Observer says: "Our esteemed contemporary The Laurens Advertiser says, Mt Is non sense to argue that the judges and lawyers ace responsible for the delays in disposing of the court's business.' Then who are responsible! Somebody must bo, for there are certainly delays ?long and numorous, as everyone knows who ever troes about a court in session. And ninety-nine p*r cent of these b-lleve they are the judges and the lawyers " The Adveutiskh should have said that the judges and lawyers are respon sible for only a small portion of tho de lays. Wo do not claim that tho law yers and judges are infallible. Other causes count much larger in the congestion of court business than their shortcomings. Hero are some of them. Probably more time has been lost in the last few years by defects in leg islation cs to the drawing of juries than from any single cause. Time and time sgnin, in this or that whole jury panels have be?n quashed as illegal. Such incidents have ne cessitated adjournments of courts and wc bolievo In some instances counties havo been without courts for jury cases for nearly a year. Another cause is the delay of jury men and wKvcsses in reaohing the court-. If th* editor of The Observer v ii step into the court room some Monday morning when the sessions be gin, h may Qnd sixteen instead of elgh toen grand jurymen present, eighteen we believe heing the number required for passing- upon an indictment. Two or three will send doctor's certificates that they are ill in bod. Tho news will come that a "creek Is up" fifteen miles from the court house which Juror Smith cannot cross. Possibly the train from Little Mountain or Silver Street is two hours behind time. Possibly somo juror has died. Most of the capital trials are of ne groes who are poor. The law justly un dertakes to bring their witnesses into court. A constable must be sent twenty miles perhaps to lind the wit ness and sometimos he must bo eent into another county. This is another way of saying that the population of the counties is sparse and the territory bread. In a gr^at city jurors and witnesses may be br ught in quickly, but there are long trials even in New York and some times many days are consumed in ob taining a jury. There are no subways or oven surface electric lines in New berry county, notwithstanding such promising names as "Silver Street" and "Jolly Street." Sometimes jurors become ill even af ter the court has begun its work. Of course the calendars always con tain a large number of cases which havo baen continued and many are continued but we believe that The Ob server will find that the lawyers are always roady with a suflicient number of cases to occupy the court's attention during the term. The judges are always willing to work on while any thing remains to be done but they cannot prevent the absence of wit nesses or jurors. We bolievo that few men in line of business dispose of a greater volume of business in a given time thin our friend Tom Sease. A great deal of time is frequently consumed in the trial of a .$20 cow caso on the civil sida of tho court but the lawyers are not to blame for this. A lawyer in Laurens must take the twenty dollar as well as the twenty thousand dollar cases if he means to earn a living and the average lawyer in thero parts must scratch lively even for a slim living at best. We have the same number of circuits and judges in South Carolina now that wo had when there were 32 instead of 41 counties and a little more than one third of the present population. Spar tanburg county requires more time from judges with its Hevonty thousand people now thau when It had thirty-five Mums in,I p ople in 1870. We have been familiar wiih courts for nearly thirty years and tho judges and solicitors havo always had plenty to do. Neces sarily their labors are uncomparably heavier now than they wero a quarter ofaconlury flgo. Will The Observer contend that four judges would have been suflicient in 1880? Over 200 homicides occur in this state each year. This means that each jud??o must try about 25 casos for mur der alono each twelve months, that is, ho must give one month to murder trials if a day bo allowed for such a trial. As long a* the number of ca3es roady for trla1 so far as tho lawyers are con cerned is sullloient to consume the time of tho court term, it cannot be succebs'ul y argued that tho casos not ready for trial causo delays Tho illness of judges causes delay. Wo cinuot prevent a judge from be coming ill occasionally. When there is two much work for oigbt judges the illnoos of one causes a ologging of tho courts. With ten judges tho illness of one would not bo quite so sorious a matter. TJnloss new circuits bo created thore Is no escapo from tho special court habit which is now prevailing. ft Whtn bilious try a do.-o of Chamber lain's Stomach aud Liver Tablets and realize for onoe how quickly a first class up-to-date medicine will correct the disorder.

To the people of Laurens county: As there seems to be a misun derstanding as to the time for the meeting called by the Southern Cotton Glowers Association, I have been requested and in structed to make this announce ment. The various precincts or townships were to have met on the ioth to organize and send delegates to the County Conven tion, but it being more than prob able that the people have not had sufficient notice to ensure such action, it is urged upon the farm ers and business men of every section of the county to attend the mass meeting called to meet at the Court House, on Saturday, 14th of January at 12 o'clock. These meetings are to be held in every county in the entire cotton belt. The objects are to discuss the cotton situation and to elect delegates to the Cotton Growers Convention, which will meet at New Orleans, January 24-26. Let the people come together and discuss these questions. The time to organize to get restriction in acreage is before the crop is planted. Farmers, manufacturers and all callings are taking a hand right now, all over the South, in the most imposing and deter mined effort that has ever been made to protect our people from the further plunder and robbery to which they have been sub jected for half a hundred years. Let the people turn out on next Saturday. O. G. Thompson, Jan* ioth. CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REME DY ABSOLUTELY HARMLESS.
