Court Next Week.

The regular spring term of the
court of common pleas for this county
will convene on Monday morning
next with the Hon. r. G. Watts pre-
siding. The dockets are heavy and it
is expected that the term will continue
for three or four weeks. There are
many cases to be tried against corpo-
rations where the parties were injured
in other counties. During the last
year many cases have been filed here
against the railroads when the injury
happened in another county. Within
the last few weeks a case for $4,000
damages has been filed with the clerk
of the court when the party bringing
the suit was injured at Rock Hill.
And there are numbers of others. Un-
der the law as it stands now party
can bring suit against a railroad in
any county where the defendant has
line, and it is to be hoped that our
representatives in the legislature will
seek to have the law 80 amended as to
make each county take care of it's own
business, or else pay the cost of the
trial, the same as is the case in GRIM
inal actions where a case is tried in
another county than the one in which
the crime was committed. This is
common sense. But there is no rea-
son in the world why our court dock
cts should be made congested by the
bringing of cases here from all over
South Carolina, as is now being done.
We have taxes enough to pay already
without having to be burdened with
extra taxation for the trial of these
cases. Look into the matter, gentle
men of the general assembly, and see
if the situation cannot be changed.

An Interesting Contest.

It was the Editors pleasure to in
spect the many exhibits Of the Educa
tional Butter, Milk and Cream Scor-
ing Contest in the Columbia Chamber
OF Commerce lastweek. The exhibits
are in charge of Mr.. R. R. Welch, of
Clemson, and the exhibits arc most
creditable. These contests were
gotten up by the South Carolina Live
Stock Association, and the Chamber
81 Commerce of which Mr.. G. w.
Norman is the. wide-awake and very
Efficient secretary, is cooperating
with the Live Stock Association in
.ushing the work ahead. The pur-
jose of the contest is to create more
interest in the products OF live stock
and educate along the ine Of securing
better milk and butter. as well as an
increase in quantity.
The milk, in bottles. was finely dis
played, showing the defects and set
ting forth the better qualities, while
the butter is put up in neat packages.
As q whole the exhibits are very
creditable, and will doubtless prove
beneficial to all thoss interested.

LEGISLATIVE.

The prohibition bills came up in
both branches of the legislature last
night. The house passed the bill by
a vote of So to AZ, while the senate re-
jected its bill by vote of p to 1S.
The question will come up again to-
day, and it is believed that there is a
slight possibility of the senate passing
the house bill when it reaches that
body.
Senator Crosson introduced a bill
yesterday to yalididate the election
held on the 18th day of April, last
year, in school district No. 29, of this
county.
The senate has refused to kill the
income tax law, as suggested in bill
offered by Senator Carlisle of Spar
tanburg.
The Lexington delegation joined
the other members of the house and
senate on the trip to Charleston on
Friday.
There seems to be an inclination
among all members to rush matters as
much as possible and much work is
being accomplished.

Had Na.s1w Escape.

County Superintendent of Educa-
ton Martin had a most thr ling expe .
riel &c on Friday morning las. He
was making his annual visit to the
schools of the Fork and while enroute
from Chaplin to Spring Hill he at
tempted to cross Waterree creek while
the stream was very much swollen
from the early morning rains. Be-
fore he had gotten very far the horse
and buggy were carried down stream
and Mr.. Martin had to jump kfor his
life. Fortunately, he caught bush
and managed to reach the shore. Mr..
Martin went to the home Of Mr.. Ris-
ter, nearby, and Mr.. Henry Rister
went to the creek and cut the horse
loose from the buggy. The vehicle
was wrecked and the superintendent
came into Lexington horseback, SEEM
ingly none the worse for his expert
ence.

No Phone 70 Depot.

It is generally regretted that the
Southern railway has seen fit to "cut
out'' the telephone at the Lexington
depot. There is nothing that has
proven of more benefit to the people
of the town and surrounding section
than the telephone at the depot. 1t
may be true that the phone takes up a
great deal of the agents time in an
swering inquiries, but if there is not
enough help in the Office to answer
important inquiries, then the South
ern should employ more help. We
hope that Superintendent Williams
will look into the matter and have
this most needed service re-instated.

He has served the government many

small outlay and how the possession of
that home has brought great satisfac-

It is a noteworthy fact that The
