IN this connection there is one additional
fact that is OF interest, although it ap-
parently has no bearing on this case. Dr..
Scherer, the Treasury chemist, is q brother
Of Mr.. SehereT, OF New York the cheIulsto of
the Sugar Trust. They represent conflict
ing interests, but 1t is said, although this
may be but one of the rumors OF the de
partment, that outside of their duties to
their principal employers they operate a
chenis.s' shop on their own account, in
partnership, This cannot be vouched for,
but before Or. Scherer became the chemist

The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1897-10-20

We sincerely hope the next leglsla-
ture will repeal the act that gives
Clarendon two weeks fall term OF
court. When this proposition was
first mooted we opposed it upon the
ground that it was not necessary;
nothing has come up since which has
changed our mind, but Oh the con,
trary we are more thoroughly con-
vinced that we were correct in our
position. The people are not ben
e6ted by this extra week, few litl-
giants may be, but that is no reason
why the masses should be taxed to
keep up a ponderous law machinery.
If our Legislators who are SO solicl-
tous for litigants will make those lit
igants pay the courts expenses and
thus relieve the taxpayers it will be
all right, bat under existing con-
ditions it is burden that should he
lifted.
