RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DELAY
IN TRIAL OF MERGER SUIT.


AprOpos Of what has recen ly
been said IN t"ese columns abOu,
the failure Of The Southern Rail
way company to build a suitable
depot at Lancaster, it is proper
for us to state that, according to
information received by us a day
or two ago, from an excellent au-
thOrity, the Southern is not to
blame Tor the delay in the trial
of the famous merger suit, i'll
which its title to the old Three
C's is being contested. The re-
sponsibility for that delay, as re
pre-, ented to US, lies at the door
OF the attorney generals office.
The Southern, it appears, has ali
along been anxious to have the
case heard, but the several post
ponements have been granted al
the iH0tance of the state authori-
ties. /, E:av be that the pro-
longed illness of Attorney Cen
eral Gunter has had something
to do with the delay, but as to
this we are not advised.
But whatever the cause of the
delay or the question Of reepon-
sibility therefor, we contend that
the people OF Lancaster have been
inconvenien ed long enough in
the matter OF a depot and that
the Southern should no longer
postpone providing "a decent and
adequate building at this point.
AS we have heretofore re peatedly
stated, this community is in no
wise responsible Tor The South

it comes to the question of depot
facilities.

WHY THE BUSINESS OF THE
COURTS is CONGESTED.

About two years ago the
Hli'er, as editor of one of Ian
casters old papers, wrote an
article on the subject of the
flaws delay's," undertaking to
show why the courts are so slow
in dispatching business, which
article was unfavorably CRITICS.
ed by more than one lawyer
and doubtless did not meet with
the approval Of some judges
We placed the responsibility for
the congested condition of the
dockeis throughout the state on
both Judges and lawyers, the
'Crmer for allowing cases to be
continued on fimsy pretex and
the la ter for not being ready for
trial when their cases are called.
We took the ground that if the
bench and bar did their whole
duty there would be no necessity
for increasing the number OF
judges or for the holding of so
many special terms of court.
That article is now recalled bv
remarkable speech made i"
the Senate this week by Senator
Hudson, formerly himself a cir
cult Judge, and by the way, one
Of the best the state Of South
Carolina has ever had. The
meas ure under discussion was
the bill to repeal the law provid-
ing for holding extra terms of
ourt by special judges, and
Senator Hudson's remarks are
thus given by the New and Oou
rier:
Senator Hudson while appre
cistlng the unsatisfactory condi-
tions, held that these Courts
must be provided for. We can
never tell when Circuit Judges
may be disabled by illness, and
il is practical wisdom to prepare
Tor such contingencies He de.
clared that The mode of Conduct
ing Court business is shame to
the State and the profession.
He felt that business was neg
