THERE was a lot Of valuable infor-
nation in the address delivered by
Prof. D. N Barrow last week, and
pretty fully summarized In The Enqui-
rer of Friday, and it would be worth a
great deal to the farmers Of York
county, If they would heed what the
professor has to say. The gist Of thl
professors lesson was that while plant
food is very essential, 1t can be sup
piled economically only when the far
mer is certain what is needed. There
Is an abundance Of plant food in most
soils already, If it can only be made
available, and humus, or decaying veg
etable matter is the one always relia :
BILE means of making 1t available.
While the farmer may have doubt as
to the best kind of plant food to put in
his soil, he need never have any doubt
about getting value received for all the
humus he might be able to supply.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

The second week of the court of
common pleas started out bravely
enough yesterday morning, and the in
dications seemed to be that there would
be lot Of heavy work between then
and next Saturday night, but shortly
after the drawing Of the jurors for tine
first case, the attorneys announced that
they had reached settlement, and the
otherwise busy prospects came to a
sudden end.
The first case was that Of w. ].
Werner VS.. the Southern railway. Mr..
Werner was conductor and wanted
$50 900 damages for being pretty se-
verely crippled at Blacksburg some
time ago. The railroad company had
recognized all the while that 1t was
fable and was anxious to settle; but
it was not until the last moment that
the parties at interest could get togetb-
err on terms, which were agreeable to
both.
Z There was complete roster Of cases
for the balance of the week; but as Is
usual with previously agreed upon
roster, nobody else was ready, after the
disposition Of this case, and his honor
being unwilling to- hold the jurors at
the convenience Of the parties to the
other cases, discharged the venire.
= There was but little equity business
demanding tine attention Of the court
in fact nothing except some consent
business, and Judge Devore announced
that he would adjourn the court at 4.S0
p. m, which he did.
Hos honor, left last night for his
home in Edgefeld, and will return In
the spring to preside over the general
sessions, and two weeks more Of the
court Of common pleas.

ference In Lancaster.
Reported for The Yorkville ENQUIRER.
The Missionary Institute and Pas
tors Conference OF the Rock Hill dis
trict, met in the Methodist church In
Lancaster, February and 8. Rev. 4,
G. .O'Dell, presiding elder, called the

Love. G. L Lyon, c. J. Carpenter:
and ]. A. Barber. =
The attendance was not large, but
the interest was deep, and those pres
emit seemed very much In earnest The
Following recommendations and reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted:
The Preachers' and Laymen's Mis-
sionary Institute wish to recommend
TO the charges and churches Of the
Rock Hlll district:
First. Ono of the great needs IA In
formation In regard to the work. and
1t Is urged that the information In re-
gard to missions be distributed. This
information can be obtained from the
mission rooms. 1t Is especially recon-
mended that the circulation Of "Go
Forward" be increased as much az
possible.
Second. The plan of organising by
committees, commends itself to the
Judgment, and is urged as one Of the
most effective for getting results.
Third. The collections are Of great
importance and afford to many the
only way they can greatly serve. It IL
a growing need that the taking Of coll
,lections be put Into the hands Of the
laymen, and II Is earnestly urged that
the laymen Of this district, IL Il be DOS
sible, take all the collections, and leave
the pastor free with his responsibility
to lead and devise greater things for
Christ.
Resolved: That we make the time
limit for raising the missionary assess
ment, April LIST, 1910. and that these
recommendation and resolutions be
published In the Southern Christian
Advocate, and at least one county pa
per In each county, within the bounds
Of the Rock Hill district.
Resolved: That we tender our thanks
to the people Of Lancaster for their
kind entertainment, and that we con-
gratulate them upon the splendid
church they have builded, and pray
Gods blessing upon them In all their
work.
It Is believed by those who had part
in this meeting that great good will
follow. and is greatly regretted that 80
few attended. w. s. n.

Now, that there are no foreign cases
that are likely to be affected by the
remark, or II there are, we do not re-
call them, we want to throw out the
suggestion that it is time our people
were considering the encouragement
of a practice that has grown up, of
bringing litigation to this county that
does not belong mere. Under the law,
a plaintiff can sue railroad in any
county through which the defendant
railroad runs. 1t is for the plaintiff
to elect in which county he shall sue,
and there is nothing for the railroad
but to defend the suit. The law is all
right; but 1t occurs to a great many
people that it Is subject to more or less
abuse. The right thing for plaintiff,
1t would seem, would be to select be-
tween the county he resides in and the
county in which the alleged damage
was inflicted. There can be no rea-
sonable objection to either Of these
elections. But it Is time to call halt
in the case of outsiders, who come to
York simply because they think they
can get bigger verdicts here. The prac-
tice not only increases our court ex-
penses for litigation that is really none
Of our business; but it hurts our rep
utation for conservative fairness. The
way to put stop to it, is for juries to
be especially careful as to their ver-
diets, not giving such plaintiffs any
damages at all, unless there is no ques-
tion of the justice of their complaints,
and holding the figures down strictly
within the bounds of reason, even
where the case is good. York certain
ly has nothing to gain in being dump
ing ground for all kinds of litigation
with which it has no direct concern.

citizens Of the county, first established
his saddle and harness business on his
own account in 1869. Mr.. O'Leary re-
mained in the building few months,
and went further down street. He was
burned out in September 1870, and went
back to his old stand. Later he re-
moved to building erected for him by
the late James Jefferys, and remained
there until 1878, when he went into his
present building. The building referred
to has been used for good many years
past as a lime house and plunder room,
and is being torn out principally be-
cause Of its effect on the insurance
rates.
