The Administration Of Justice.
Ed,,o: TIE Manning Tines:

Edi,o: TIE Manning Tines:
have had the pleasure OK reading
your recent article entitled, "Oh Those
Technical Lawyers, and while [ do
not agree with you altogether, yet |
am satisfied the subject is deserving OF
some consideration by every good citi-
zen, and therefore am taking the
liberty OF Offering criticism OF the ad-
ministrarlon Of justice in our State.
To commence with the Magistrate
system, do not hesitate TO say, and
am satisfied every good citizen will
agree with me, that the Office 10 ques-
ton should be abolished, at least TO the
extent OF con6oing the DUTY OF the
Magistrate 70 preliminaries; OF course l
understand there are some exceedingly
scrupulous Magistrates, but the system
Is az administrative and judicial body
is nothing more nor less than an Illegal
undertaking organization, and as 4
rule the lawyer who succeeds IN win
ming his case before the ordinary Mag
istrate is the lawyer who "stands-in
personally with with said Magistrate.
Furthermore, around every county
seat. YOU vii! 6nd some young lawyer,
who .'ssands-in" with the county
officials, tbs resul, being that said
officials become nothing more nor less
then the sinister tools OF said young
LAWYER, and thereby juries are fixed,
cour; DEGREES are ignored. and county
government iegenerates into one
nan power for the ma!-aduinistration
Of justice
But the greatest evil Of all is the
manner Of selecting the officials who
preside over our courts OF record.
In this State, the legislature has the
duty and privilege OF selecting and
elec,ios the Judges, the result being
,ha, TOO frequently the bench becomes
the dumping ground for ignorant law
yers and politicians.
an safe in saying, that /: the Bar
Association OF this State had the eHec'
tive privilege Of selecting the Judges
who preside over our courts OF record,
quite number OF judicial hgure-heads
would be releeated TO private practice
and meagre livelihood.
OF course, understand we have 10
this State some exceedingly ao!e anc
learned gentlemen on the circuit and
supreme bench, who are al honor &c
The State and are worth many times
their present sa!ary TO the people o.
the State, but so long as we leave The
selection OF the judiciary TO loS-roiilos
legislative and political tactics, the ad,
minis,ration OF justice will be subjecl
10 criticism by every true patriot sne
by every good citizen.

Looking toward having Summerton
continued high up in the ranks OF
baseball, managers were recently APP
pointed to canvass the situation and
bring out the enthusiasm which has
lain dormant during the winter
months. Messrs. John iesesne and w.
H. Anderson will be financial lnanag-
ers, and through them games will be
arranged with other amateur teams
Of the State Although the team as
whole is yet to be chosen, Mr.. Felix
DinSle has been pronounced Captain
and has had several practices prepar-
tory to selecting the other eight play
srs. Never before has Summerton
had such excellent material from
which, to pick nine, and it is conn-
6ent!y expected that she will soon be
ready to cope with any similarly
managed team in the State. 1t is
practically certain that a game or
series Of games ~ill be played on the
local diamond this week.
With the increased and increasing
sale Of automobiles in this coInmuni-
ty, one OF the local agencies, manas-
ed by Mr.. 6. u. Davis is preparing a
repair and supply shop to meet the
needs of the owners OF machines. This
will no doubt be gladly welcomed, as
it is not to be supposed that all who
own cars are blessed with the addi-
tional good fortune Of possessing
knowledge. Two more
touring cars were sold here last week,
the one to Mr.. r. c. Richardson and
the othe, to Mr.. John R. Dingle.
The excavations being made for the
Of the new Methodist
church were pushed forward very
last week, and the con-
stancv OF the work bids fair
siderable headway ut an early -.
Services have been discontinued in
the old building. and will be held con-
in the school auditorium
until the completion OF the new build
ing.
The closing exercises OF the Sum-
merton graded and high school WI!
take place pe1t week
The young people OF town were in
debted to Mr.. and Mrs. J. n. Fiowden
on Friday evening last for a most
pleasant evening spent in playing
progressive whist. Four tables were
made up, and many hands Were en-
joyed. during the playing Of which
Mrs. Plowden served delightful fruit
punch. At the conclusion OF the
games dainty refreshments were serv-
ell. Miss Pauline Woodley was pre-
sented with the '.Hlne Ribbon" she
having progressed the greatest num-
~s-
hospitality were: Misses
Honor Lang OF Sumter. Helen Frier-
son of Stateburg, Bertha Davis. Ada
Tenant, Pauline Woodley and Mil
dred James and Sallie Anderson;
Messrs. Covington and John W.

CABINET CONSIDERS
TARIFF SITUATION
Final Effort to Be Made TO
Avert Commercial Strife
With Canada.

Cneuestionably the present outlook Is
Tor tariff war with Canada.
Regretable as such a commercial
struggle would be, nearly every indica-
lon now IS that It VIII come.
The President has the case before hin
me Cabinet IS taking It up today. M
art Is giving earnest consideration to
an the evidence and is STUDYING thar
evidence just as a Judge would stu6,, a
matter In court He is not expected 70
give a decision before he leaves on +bs
Trip which he begins WEDNESDAY. He
may give 4. on his return.
IL can he said on authority that m
!ess Canata makes concessions Of an
Important sort between now and March
81 the MAXIMUM VIII be enforced. The
evidence II the case as 70 whether there
Is discrimination is one-sided. In more
than q dozen cases, the facts IN che
Presldents possession are said 20 show
there is undue discrimination against
tni country. With this state OF things.
the President can return only one de-
cisiOn.
The sItu- Don Is not entirely hopeless.
Ihe tartn c'2rd viii continue efforts 10
reach an a Iustment. The Adrniuistrs-
ton does lot want a tariff war with
Canada Tnis IS true for many reasons
one reason IS that Il would cost this
country mucn In a business and com
merCial way. Another IS that IL yrCrl1d
interfere with the traditionaIIy food re-
lauons between the United States and
canada Stiu another is that the Re
publican party would be blamed and
SO would the Administration
But the President is lust IN this Fo-t
or position He has the evidence in the
case before him and is expected 10 de-
eide on that evidence and unless there
u change In the situation bv reason
OF concessions from Canada he can come
20 but one conclusion. This version ~
tle SITUATION comes from the most
authoritative sources
The situation as 70 France IS much
more promising. and II looks - II it
would not be neadfuI 70 fuforca The
maximum against that country.

BAD SLUMP IN NEW YORK STOCKS
AVERAGING OVER TWO POINTS
ON THE LEADERS.

NEW YORK. March 15.-Wau street Is
clothed in gloom and the influences that
have heretofore counted are not at all
effective. There's a reason-several.
The probabilities indicate an increase in
the Bank of England discount rate,
which would mean the beginning % n
gold export movement from this side.
The interior is drawing funds from
this center and the surplus reserve Is
fading The fact that the traction com
Dsny in Philadelphia concludes to en-
tertain arbitration after practically
beating the strike to unconsciousness,
did not listen we'll to Wall street ears.
From St Paul came a story Of the call
ing out or the locomotive 1remen. The
story is that there is trouble, not be-
tween the roads and their firemen, but
between the firemen and the engineers.
There are two brotherhOOds Of en-
gineers, one of which includes hremen-
another doesn't. The fremen are en-
deavoring to force a recognition OF the
smaller union, which would mean trou-
BILE with the big union-so the roads
would seem 20 be between the devil
and the deep blue sea" The war with
Canada tariff war-is yet another in
huence that the street doesn't like.
Look for Milking"
But the trading element considers
more important the belief that the big
traders have arranged for another
milking bee" II is the belief OF many
that the insiders have Hquidated on the
advance since February Z. making the
advance for that purpose and giving
out the most pernicious bear news i'm
mediateIy preceding the movement to
n high range. Having sold heavily of
Reading while booming Union Pacific,
