June 7.?A negro hotel proprietor and three others charged with inciting riot marked the begin ning of the prosecution of alleged leader:-, in tlic recent race riots.

Pasteurizing Milk. Twelve years ago, when the fight for pastuerization of milk was on, one group of men opposing it argued that it would make milk expensive by in creasing the cost of production. Experience proved it a source of economy, both to the dealer and the J consumer through the delay in spoil ing. Another group of men argued that it would make milk less diges tible, especially for babies. All the time the nestor of the pro fession, Dr. Abraham Jacobi, was contending for the use of boiled milk for baby feeding, saying pastuerized milk ranked second, but was superior to raw milk. Soon Dr. Joseph Brem merman began to argue along the same line. Recent experiments by J. M. Evvard and others fully sustain the position of Jacobi and Bremmer man. When milk enters the human stomach it is converted into a solid by a process similar to that employed in making cheese. If the curds form ed from milk are soft and small, stomach digestion is easy. If, on the other hand, they are hard or large or both hard and large, stomach di gestion is difficult. Human miik is easy for a baby .to digest because it forms small, soft curds. Boiled milk is easiest to di gest and pasteurized miik ranks next for the same reason. The County Court. j Editor Daily Item: I What do we want with any more 'courts? The people have employed a number of judges and solicitors, and 1 other officials to carry on this business and pay them well for the same, and they are supposed to be efficient men, I and get enough pay (there has been no strikes among them so far), but It seems they cannot keep the docket clear with three hundred and sixty five days to do it in. There must be some screws loose in the machinery or they expect to run the machinery with the same steam that blows the whistle. How will another court im prove or cure matters? Is it possible that in this civilized age and such a civilized people as South Carolina can boast of, that the differences that may arise between her citizens if they cannot be settled by arbitration, or by the number of judges now employed, and the num ber of solicitors, and the number of lawyers now at every bar, cannot be 'settled without more courts which will take more money from heavier taxation and take farmers and others from important work to serve as jury men or witnesses in some pett"- case or cases at a busy time for a week or more? ? If ? county court were to decide a case on the civil side against' a man at this time of the year who could not pay his debt, or against one who did not intend to pay it, he could make a motion for a new trial, and if refused he could then appeal to a higher tribunal, which right was made sacred to every citizen^ in the days when "To be a South Carolinian was great er than a King." On the criminal side of the court the prisoner has the same right, but not the prosecutor, be cause a man cannot be placed in jeopardy of his life and limb more than once for the same offense. This is as far as a county court could go with nothing accomplished but money paid out by taxpayers and those in volved in its meshes. It does not seem possible that our legislators could have been so impru dent in their framing and construc tion of the laws as to have used ! such words, and phrases as to require more time more brains and more profundity than our judges and soli- ; citors possess; have to explain them to our highly qualified jurymen. It does seem to vote for a county court would be a reflection on the judges, solicitors, grand jurors, and all these officers we have employed j and placed in positions of honor and i trust. It would be better far to find out the causes which produce the effects and remedy the same by I strengthening the hands of those men i in whatever way they ne^d it. Respectfully, Thos. S. Sumter. Sumter, June 7. J umIlim.Ii illlllllIHM wg Bryan on the Ccranty Court. Editor Daily Item: In the discussion of the County Court proposition which has been from time to time, appearing, in your columns, has not the real matter ra th* issue been put out of sight? - ? * Since man passed from the-'age when private disputes were settled i with clubs and real or fancied crimes against society by mobs, it has been necessary for the public to estabUsfe and maintain courts for the preser vation of public peaco and the pro tection of private property. The eopp* i nlexity of modern life?^the growtbjof population?the utilization, of mo4 ern inventions?have increased the work of Courts and year after year the number of litigated case* in creases. . v. si Our system of- trying these caaee had its foundation before Magna"Char ta, and though it displays some^f ihi infirmities of age, no modern thinker has devised a more equitable and sat isfactory method - of adjusting., dis putes than the ancient trial by Jury. Lawyers are trained to practice v"iu the courts just as physician* are trained to practice in hospitals. Aa a class they are rot responsible for litigation any more than phyjiciaji* are for illness. * / If it is proper for the public te aup piy courts for the use of society, it p? essential that they be! sufficient to an swer the purpose of their creator-?. It is not questioned that the present courts of Sumter are "in* j adequate, and it sc.: .s to'me that the only question is what is the best and cheapest way to remedy this defeett For it is not alone the lawyers who ; suffer on account of this deficiency, j but all persons involved lh difficulties j which necessitate Trtlgatioff eae* - tlfis j group includes, potentially:?st * 4ea?t; j every citizen of Susater county. ^; The County Court Is offered as the only solution to -this question, j see no reason why it does hot tatter jit properly.
