Horses in China.

The government veterinary college
at PaotiDg affords instruction to a
large number Of students, 100 vacant
places being open to matriculation an
nually. From lack of care, bad feed
ing little or no scientific breeding and
a lack Of trained earetakers for even
the best animals, horses In China
have come to be of little value for
any purpose. Improved cattle and
horse breeding are essential to mod
ern agricultural development In China.

A few years ago magistrate was
amazed when a prosecutor went into
the witness box and swore positively
that the prisoner was not the man
who had assaulted him. On the other

the whole affair.

Hon. J. Faser Lyon, Attorney Gen

am embarrassed by conflicting de-
mands made upon me by the old board
of registration and the newly appoint
ed board for this county. The old
hoard has notified me not to turn over
the hooks or records of the office to
any other persons than themselves;
and the newly appointed board, that
is the board appointed since the ad-
iournment of the senate, has made a
formal demand upon me for the books
and records of the Office and have not-
fed me not to turn them over to any
other persons than themselves.
I desire to act according to law but
find myself unable to decide which
of these boards is the legal board, ana
which is entitled to the books and
records. AS the legal custodian OF
these records l am at loss to know
what to do.

ATTORNEY GENERAL REPLIES.
Mr.. Lyon Advises the Clerk of Court
to Let Court Decide-Gives No
Opinion.

Clerk of Court Goggans has recelV-
ed a letter from Attorney General Ly-
on replying to his request as to the
law in the matter Of the supervisors
of registration for this county. The
of registration for this county. The at
torney general declined to give the in
formation, saying that it is not incum-
bent upon him to say who is lawfully
entitled to the books, but suggested
that the clerk hold the books until
ordered by the court as to which
board he should deliver them.
The attorneys for the new board,
Messrs. F. H. Dominick and E. S.
Blease, have already applied for man
damus before Judge Sease requiring
the clerk to deliver the books to the
new board. The return of Judge Sease
will probably be one day this week. 1t
is important that it should be mas
much as under the law the books OF
registration will be opened on the first
Monday of each month.
The following is the letter from the
attorney general:
Columbia, S. c., March %, 1912.
Jno. c. Goggans, Esq, Clerk OF
Court, Newberry, S. C.-Dear Sir:
Your letter of the 21st inst. is at hand.
In view of the fact that there is a
contest for the books Of registration
I suggest that you retain the books
until you are ordered by the court as
to which board you should deliver
them. 1 do not see that it is lncum-
bent on you to determine who is law
fully entitled to the possession OF the
books, and suggest that it would be
we'll to await instructions from the
conrt. Yours very truly,

Attorney General.
