OUT OF DATE.
EdsefieId Lawyer Thinks Magistrate
System Needs Reform.

The following communication pub
lished in the Columbia State of a few
days ago, deals with a subject that is
Interesting:
To the Editor of The State:
have read with interest your COM
ments on the magistrates of the
state. Lawyers can tell you whole
lot about those who now occupy the
office that would be interesting read
ing to the people Of the state.
Understand me in the beginning
that I mean no reflection on the oc-
cupants Of those responsible offices as
men, because as a rule they are up
right men, but simply not qualified
| to fill the position of judicial officer
requiring the knowledge of the law.
I recognize the fact that In the rural
districts it is a matter Of impossibility
| to find men who have the required
qualifications to make good judges.
Fully as intricate and important law
issues come up before a magistrate
for decision as do before the judges
Of the circuit courts. But, in towns
where lawyers can be found to fill the
positions, the rule Is that some one
who has never opened a law book Is
lappointed or elected in the primary,
who, though good man, is far from
being a good lawyer; or man who
knows anything about the rules Of
court or Of law. Under those condi-
tions 1t can not be expected that our
magistrates can conduct their offices
properly.
The situation is hard one to rem
edy. The best remedy is in county
courts with a lawyer to preside over
same Such a suggestion Is not
popular one because II deprives GER
tain men in the country Of honors to
which they consider themselves en-
titled. But we are not after "hon-
ors." We are after efficiency and the
proper administration Of the laws Of
the land.
Our present system Is very ancient,
out of date and totally fails to meet
the requirements Of the age. 1t has
been kept up for political reasons;
that Is, for the purpose Of rewarding
certain men for political reasons and
not for any benefit that the public
might gain from such system.
The time has arrived for change,
and there must be change. The
manner in which both criminal and
civil business Is hatched up in our
magistrates courts Is deplorable.
The election or nomination Of mag
lStTdteS mas proven W Uc d ldICe, dhu
this county decided to and did cut out
the nominations Of magistrates by the
primary system, thus throwing the
responsibility on our delegation. But
that does not solve the situation.
Favoritism and popular sentiment will
still control the situation, and not
| fitness for the office.
We must have a definite law on the
subject and county court, presided
over by a lawyer, just as are our other
courts.
II you will keep hammering on the
situation, you will accomplish good.
as the great majority Of the people
are ready to back any change in the
present system that bids fair to bring
about better results.

POLITICAL TIDAL WAVE.
Democratic Jackass Kicks G. o. p
Elephant Sky High.


The Democrats have no cause to
complain on account of the result OF
last Tuesdays election throughout the
country. 1t was a veritable Landslide
against the Republicans, who lost
many representatives in congress ana
experienced slumps from their former
strength in nearly every state of the
Union.
Latest calculations on the national
house of representatives, based on
complete but unofficial returns, snow
that the Democrats will have sale
working majority of 30.
The outcome of the United States
senate is now definitely settled. The
Republicans are assured of 16 new
senators, which, with "a holdoVer
senators, gives them total or 5O.
The Democrats are assured or 10
new senators. which, with 20 hold-
overs. gives them a total of 40,
Two senatorships are still IN doupt'
namely, the successor of the late Mr..
Dolliver in Iowa, and of Mr.. Carter
in Montana, where there is prospect
of tie.
These determined totals, however,
leave a Republican majority in the
senate as follows:
Total membership 80; necessary to
majority Al; Republicans so; Demo-
Gratis 40; doubtful 2.
The 16 Republican senators con-
sidered assured are from Callfornla'
lConnecticut, Delaware, MASSACHUSETTS,
Minnesota, Michigan. Nevada Nortn
Dakota (2), Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island. Utah, Vermont Washington
Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The Is Democratic senator's con-
sidered assured are from Florida, In
diana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland,
Missouri Mississippi, Nebraska, New
Jersey. New York, Ohio, Tennessee,
Texas. Virginia and West Virginia.

ernorship shows the following Demo-
cratic governors elected, with the ap-
proximate plurality:

Have You Kidney Trouble?
How to Find Out.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indi-
Gates an unhealthy condition Of the
kidneys; if it stains your linen 1t is
evidence of kidney trouble: too fire.
quent desire to pass it or pain in the
back is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of order.
What to Do.
Go to the STAR DRUG STORE and
get a soc box of BLOODINE BLOOD
AND KIDNEY TABLETS and if they
do not help you the STAR DRUG
STORE will give you your money back.
There is comfort in the knowledge
50 often expressed, that BLOODINE

great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in
the back, kidneys, liver bladder and
every part of the urinary passage.
They correct inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing 1t, or bad
effects following use of liquor wine
or beer, and overcome that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go Of

times dun ing the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of BLOOD1NE

soon realized. They stand the highest

1t will have To he admitted that the
Chester jury which is trying to do the
right thing in those graft cases, has
a pig undertaking on its hands. May
he a lawyer can do it, but for a lay
man To distinguish between the graft
that was taken out of the original
transactions and the graft that has
been extracted in the winding-up pro-
cess. is an exceedingly difficult mat
ter. We do not know certainly; but
we do not think that it is even
charged that any of the defendants in
the case made as much out of rebates
as has been paid To some of the law
ycrs who are conducting the present
prosecution.

We reproduce from the Columbia

cation from Mr.. w. =. Calhoun of
Edgefield county, on the question of
substituting a county court system for
the present magistrate system. We
agree with Mr.. Calhoun in most that
he says and we think the change would
he for the public benefit. especially in
a county like York. We do not believe
county court system would cost as
much as the present magistrate sys-

figures cannot he quoted yet; but re-
turns so far received show that that
county has refused by an overwhelm-

there was reason to fear.

There.is no getting away from the
fact that by all the rules of fairness
and right, the appointment of railroad
commissioner to succeed the late Mr..
Sullivan, belongs to James Cansler.
In saying this, we express no opinion
as to qualifications further than to as
sert that the office has been held by
others who were no more competent
from any standpoint. and there are
people now in the office who are in no
way superior TO Mr.. Cansler.

Farmers To Get Together

Much interest is being manifested

started to organize a Farmer s
Club, and the indications are that
the meeting which is called for that
purpose at the Town Hall next Sat
urdey, Nov. 12tf, at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. will be largely attended.
Co operation in all lines of business.
when kept withia lawful bounds, can
not but spell greater success and
mutual benefits, and The PIONEER
is glad 10 see the farmers join the
professions and get together. as
have those engaged in many other
lines of business, and industry.
The esta 5lishment of house in this
city for the purchase and shipment
of the products of the farm is BADLY
needed here; and the time has about
arrived when a grist mill would be
in order; then there is need of a
better understanding of the mark Ell
needs among the farmers so that too
many unmarketable products will
GOT be raised; likewise some concert.
ed action might be taken looking to
the Improvement In the breed OF
stock which are raised in this vicini-
ty; the building of good roads is a
vital subject which is proper one
to think and act upon at this time
these and many more matters might
be taken up with mutual profit to
the farmers. Pioneer.
1t might be well for the farmers OF
this part Of the county to form a like
organization for their mutual bene-
fit. The time is coming and not far
distance, when the farmers will
have to ship part of their produce
and by having an organization OF
this kind could be aDle to get better
prices than if they attempted to
handle the produce individually.
Why not get together on the
proposition.

Test Crops Yield Well In Northern
Wisconsin

The yield from various crops
grown at the northern sub-station
of the Collegerot Agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin at Superior,
Ashland and IroE River, have been
very good, Notwithstanding the un-
favorable weather early in the
season. Spring wheat averaged rs
bushels per acre and winter wheat
over 10 bushels per acre. One plot
of red fife spring wheat averaged 20
bushels per acre. The average of
26 varieties of oats at Superior was
483 bushels, while barley was about
30 bushels per acre.
Culitaved crops did well, ruta-
bagas yielding $50 bushels per acre
at Ashland and 300 bushels at
Superior. Carman No 3 potatoes at
Ashland averaged 800 bushels and
at Superior 3O4 bushels per acre.
Corn at Ashland gave 40 bushels
of ripe shelled corn and 10 tons OF
silage corn per acre, but at Superior
frost did some injury be fore the corn
was ripe. Silage corn here gave
over Is tons per acre. These crops
show what intelligent farming can
produce under Northern
Wisconsin conditions. These
yields were grown under ordinary
good cultivation with no attempt at
record breaking yields.
