Solicitor Zimmerman has issued a
letter to the members of the general
assembly from the fifth judicial cir
cult, calling attention to the congest-
ed condition of the dockets as far as
the criminal cases are concerned. He
cites some interesting figures which
shows that the conditions should be
remedied. tits indeed well for the
Solicitor to do all ins his power to
bring about change to relieve the
situation, but the great trouble is the
tardiness of the LAWYERS in not having
their cases ready when the court
meeta There should be a law made
requiring lawyers % be ready with
their cases when ccnrt is called, and
until something is done in this direc-
ton we don't believe that the con-
gested dockets will be relieved.
Again we assert the trouble is with
the lawyers.

of course, to have it established in

die the chances of getting it in the
State, he joins C Congressman Lever in
pulling for Columbia, thus making
the delegation unit. Lever never
loses a chance to help his State and
the district he represents must appre-

in the least to see him made the sue

pie o. his district fully appreciate his
