M. Eti'tor-Your paper has been
decidedly improved, and looks much
better than usual, and am glad to see
it; as it is one Of Orangcburg's prom
.cnt institutions, and should receive
the lihcral patronage Of this community
In your issue of the 9TH instant you
spoke Of the coming municipal election,
and advised what the next Council
should be required to do, in regard to
certain Town Improvements, "a Ncw
Streets, .Mrhc', P"JHc IIciyhcr, etc, in
all which ! heartily agree and believe
the majority Of our Towusmcn favor.
1t is in this connection, | write the
citizens of Orangebnrs are becoming
tired of the loose and nluw/M manner
in which the present incunbcEts are
granting, and have been granting retail
liquor license, they arc certainly aware
Of the fac: that their conduct is not in
accordance with the law OF the State
They certainly c1u Sec the effect Of tAis

before this community is completely
dcmoralzcd. They may say that they
have already issued these licenses, and
that they cannot recall them. They
can certainly do as tho Council of Cam

people that they are DESTROYS orreme lying

rEew law Reports Are made.

~ SoulmlltC'Ol the Bar Association, IN
recent communication, call attention to
the evils of the present system of Law
reporting, which they show up in great
variety OF ways, and by exhibition Of
some facts which show that the max ers
of law books, like ether gentry, arc ga
commercial people" This matter is
chiefly interesting to the lawyers whose
pockets are depleted for the purchase of
these books, and whose shelves arc en-
numbered with the pondcrous tones
But the people are Interested, also, in
whatever adds to the cost Of legal services
MS the time and money consumed over
these useless books certainly do. How
unnecessary aud how undiscrminatng
these law reports arc, Il few statements
from the Committees communication
will show. Seven independent reporters
IN this State now issue seven series Of
regular reports, in all averaging some
eighteen volumes annuity, In the 56j
C"io chuiitS ih 1917, Inc tW reports
published in England am ,untel to ,03G
volumes while during the last 10 years
400 volumes were published in this State
alone. Besides, there are 1919 volumes
of the Gnned States Reports and taken
altogether, the published reports Of this
county number more than 1000 vol
umcs, which shows how mnch more
young Republic can accomplish in 70
years than an "eflcte monarchy" can in
56J. These reports arc cncumbcred by
useless rcpctitions. Six volumes Of
Abbott's Practice Gc oYts, carefully
examined, show one case reported seven
times, and one reported six times, eight
cases five times, thirty niue three times,
and seventy seven twice. One hundr, d

ted together, aud Supreme Court dcci
slons are reported altsr they have been
affirmed or reversed by the Court Of
Appeals. This Of course is abso'u 'utcly
unnecessary, a mere waste Of words aud
needless Disregard OF What the Courts
arc doing. The books are filled with
bad laws aud no law, and hundreds OF
questions Of no sort Of importance arc
raised, the appeal often being made sole
icr the purpose OF delay. There is also

This case arose out of the election

The chairman of the county canvas
Sers, Captain Ncrlaud, under legal advice
OF prominent lawyers a, Barnwell Court

board OF county canvasscrs was final and
not to be revised by the State board.
The citizens of BlackvilIc, prominent
