The old style military camp was too much thing of red tape and eockade reviews. But the new method of train ing the militia through the war game is a big proposition. Former Secretary of War Root suggested having a paid reserve of 1000 men to perform this work. According to his idea this should consist of former regulars who should go into camp a few weeks year and relieve the militiamen from tasks be- yond their power to accomplish efi- eiently. Something like this plan is in use in European nations.-Hartford Post.

Tt is a frightful thing" notes the Rev. Dr. Thomas R. Slicer, referring to the Roosevelt gathering at Chicago, 'to have @ national convention, so- called. made up of people without a sense of humor. Their convictions, as long Gs they remain under the domi- nation of passion, will not miss the absence of humor; but when the pas sion subsidies it must necessarily be followed by a sense of shame" Not necessarily. Roosevelt long ago lost the sense of shame, and his followers share in his loss. according to their degree of enthusiasm. - Waterbury American

COUNTY BOARD MEETING.
Few Matters Acted upon at Regular
Monthly Meeting.

The county board Of supervisors
held their regular monthly session
Tuesday with all of the members of
the board present. Few matters
were acted upon at the meeting. the
greater part Of the time being taken
up in looking over bills which had
been presented and acting upon them.
A bill from the sheriff for expenses
incurred during a recent trip to Flor
ida was referred to the county at
torney for advice as to whether the
county was liable for the expense or
not. The expense was incurred by a
trip to Florida to catch Horace
Granderson. a negro who escaped at
ter shooting his wife at Wedgefield.
The negro was not captured.
The annual report to the presiding
judge was read and adopted.
A claim made by Mr.. Nichols for
damages incurred by his horse get
ting its foot In a hole under a drain
pipe was refused. as the board did
not consider the county liable for
damages which were incurred by Mr..
Nichols, when he knew the condition
OF the road at that place.
Petitions from w. j. Brunson and
John Turner for Ex-Confederate
pensions were read and approved.

WHO SHOULD SERVE WARRANTS
DlHeredice Betweon Magistrate and
Deputy Sheriff Discussed before
Judge.

The difference between Magistrate
Wells and Deputy Sheriff Sykes, re-
ferred to in the report Of the Grand
Jury. were taken up Tuesday even
ing before Judge Rice and terminated
when he stated that he would confer
with Solicitor Stoll with the idea Of
ascertaining the law and clear up the
matter so that the parties should each
know what were their duties.
The trouble seems to have arisen
out of the fact that Judge Wells has
sent warrants on persons out Of his
district to the sheriff's Office to be
served. Deputy Sykes claims that the
law does not make him liable for the
service Of these warrants, while Mag
istrate Wells claims that it is the
place Of the sheriff's office to serve
them. The warrants on parties out
side Of the county are always served
by the sheriff's office willingly, when
made out by the magistrate, but those
in the county the deputy has refused
to serve.
Judge Wells held that his constable
was paid only a small salary and
should not be expected to serve the
warrants when they were out OF his
district, when the case was one for
the upper court. He stated that when
1t was case for his court, or in his
district. his constable always served
the warrants. Judge Rice settled the
matter by promising to let the parties
near from him on 1t when he had
looked up the law for Sumter county
