Court Pretermltted.
Greenwood.-Judge ]. NJ. Cashin has
yielded to the solicitations of petition
ers to pretermit the May, 1911, term of
circuit court. The farmers began to get
busy and circulated petitions asking
this, which were largely signed. There
is no doubt but that a four weeks term
of court would have been a hardship
upon the farmers of this county. Con-
tinuous rains and soggy conditions of
the soil have caused a serious delay on
both corn and cotton crop.

eral manager of the Pacific Mail com
pany, will leave Monday for the East
to be gone, it is said, an indefinite
length of time. At the Pacific Mail
office they say that he will be absent a
few weeks. His friends say that he
will not make his home here for at least
two years.
Where Schwerin lives is matter OF
no particular importance to anybody
except the vice'president and general
manager himself, but the fact that he
is temporarily pulling up stakes, as IL
were, IL interesting in view OF existing
conditions in the steamship world.

Gently That the liners now ON the
Asiatic run would be improved 80 as to
offer tourists all the Injuries TO be
found on the best of Atlantic liners.
Plans for these improvements are said
to be practically complete. One of the
proposed Improvements is said to be
the conversion of all the ships into oil
burners. These improvements will cost
about $2,000,00O. In addition to this,
plans have been made for at least one
new ship TO be bigger and more lux.
hrious than anything so far on the
Pacific.
In view OF the attitude of congress
toward railroad ownership of compet'
ing steamship lines, and the probability
of legislation that will forcibly divorce
such interests, IL is not believed that
the Southern Pacific will go any deeper
into the steamship game than It already
is.
That the international merchant ma

for the Southern Pacific stock recently
