We fully indorse the suggestion
made by Senator Dean, of Greenville,
that Magistrates should be given
jurisdiction in cases Of violation of
the dispensary law, and it is to be
hoped that it will be one of the first
measures enacted into law at the ap
preaching session Of the legislature.
Along with this we think it would be
a good idea to give Magistrates juris-
diction in gambling cases These two
crimes form the bulk of the criminal
dockets in our Circuit Courts aud are
entailiDg an enormous cost upon the
counties. Such cases, as now tried,
require almost if NOT fully as much
time as graver otfences-delay in ob.
tanning witnesses, presentment by
grand jury, cmpannelling petty juries,
tedium of examining witnesses and ar
guments of attorneys. What is true
in this particular in Anderson County
is doubtless true in every other county

are being contested with cases Of vio
lation of the dispensary law and
gambling; speedy trial is retarded: :

Belt0n Should Feel Proud OF Prof.
West.

Highland Home, $. c., Sept. 90, 1902.
MIR; Editor: A little more than a year
ago Prof. j. i. West, then principal of
the Peizcr School, instituted a plan
which was executed On the 10th inst.
and is now rejecting as much honor
and merit on him as an educator as
was ever bestowed upon professor,
among those to whom the facts are
familiar. Last September he suggest
cd to two bright boys of the Pelzer
mills, one who resided in Spartanburg
County and the other of Anderson,
that there wOnld be 4 vacancy in their
respective counties for the beneficiary
scholarship at the Citadel of Charles
ton, and prOifered his services to pre-
pare them for the competitive exami-
nation, which was held on the 10th
INST. They accepted his proposition,
and for ten months, after q hard days
work; teacher and pupil would work
together at night, and as Il result of
their efforts Tom McGec carried off
the highest honor over II competitors,
ana Larry LangstOn met four manly
fellows at Spartanburg and took the
first place over his competitors. To
reach the success that these boys have
obtained proves the proficiency of their
instructor. for obstacles and Difficult
ties seemingly insurmoIntable were
!hSOuHLcicu NY DOlu teacher ana pHpll.
but nevertheless the goal was reached
and the honor won, and we predict
that these two boys will reflect great
credit on the man who trained them.
Prof West is graduate Of tho Citadel
and ranl's among the first as an educa-
tor.
A few years ago, when he took charge
OF the Pelzer schools, they numbered
two hundred! pupils and five teachers,
and when he resigned his position
am told the enrolment was seven hun
dred and employed ten teachers, and
fully equipped with n Kindergarten
employing two trained kindergarten
ers with $50 pupils. This is the first
kindergarten school to be established
in the mill towns of the up-country,
which is another evidence Of almost q
fact that "Pelzer leads and others fol-
low"
Belton should feel proud of Prof.
West, and If she and the refined and
cultured people which surround her
will lend him the assistance that he
needs, in few years they will have q
high school second to none in the
State. Phillip Barrett.

Tariff revision to point that will
provide revenue for the expenses of
an economical administration OF gov
ernment is now favored by majority
of the American people. A proscrip-
tive tariff, the operation of which has
created the monopoly combines known
as trusts, by destroying competition
and placing American consumers and
retailers at the mercy of the com
bines, is strongly condemned. A re-
vision Of the tariff, it is now plain to
the people, will remedy the worst
evil that is in the trusts. 1t will in
jure no legitimate business. 1t will
greatly benefit the masses. The dom
inant issue Of the campaigns of 1902
and 1904, therefore, is this twin issue
of the tariff and trusts. The national
Democracy will win in both campaigns
by making on aggressive fight on this
issue.

A Nerve Defined.

A certain Brooklyn kindergarten con-

little folks, and their answers to questions
are often very amusing. On a morning

81 know" said one little tot.
"Well, what is it,"
It's what makes the tooth hurt when
you have the toothache"
This created laugh and number of
other answers followed, when little girl,
who is usually depended upon to give a
reply to almost every question, raised her
pointed finger and said:
"I know the answer, teacher; can tell
you"
You may answer, Emily" said the
teacher. What is a nerve?"
when any one is too fresh my mama
says, ooh, what nerve?"
