Court Proceedings.

Again the abominable "roster' has
caused the mill of the court to cease to
grind. When Judge Prince sounded
the ''roster" on Monday morning not
case could be brought to trial, not
withstanding the fact that So jurors
had been summoned to appear. Ac-
cordingly the clerk of court was or
dered to pay the jurors and dismiss
them from further attendance upon
the court.
" Judge Prince then adjourned court
until next Monday, giving the law
yers an opportunity to re-arrange the
''roster." "When I come back next
Monday" said the court, "and find
the lawyers without anything to do,
I will adjourn the court out Of pure
disgust" concluded the Judge.
Only two cases were disposed Of last
week. Fred Collins, negro, was
awarded 500 against the Southern
Railway, as has already been reported
in these columns.
In the case of Wade II. Spires
against L. W. Gardner, suit to re-
cover large tract of land. which con-
sumed three days, the jury returned a
verdict in favor Of the plaintiff. -.
This is case without parallel in
the court annals of this State, accord
ing to the statement Of local attor-
neys. Mr.. Gardner has been in pos
session'of the land since 1900. having
purchased the same from Mr.. E. M.
Livingston, Of North, who had pur-
chased the land from his father-iD-
laws estate.
+ claiming that he was the rightful
owner of the property; that he had a
lease and other papers to the property,
which had been destroyed in a food
while he was a resident of Georgia
several years ago, Spires, in 1910, en-
tered suit to recover the land together
with damages. The case was first
tried during the November term, last
year, but the jury failed to reach a
verdict.
A motion for a new trial will be
heard by Judge Prince next week.

Lexington Has a Chance to
Secure the Lutheran
Female College.

Never before have the people OF
Lexington had such an opportunity to
advance her educational facilities and
those of the entire county to have a
female college at their very doors. 1t
| has been decided that this college is
going to be built and we can have it
if we will; but in order to do so each
and everyone of us must do his or her
part. Each one of US must talk and
work and, most of all, subscribe liber-
ally. Do you want the college? Will
you do it:
Lexington is the logical place for
the location of Lutheran female col
lege for several reasons, the principal
one being that it is nearer the centre
of Lutheranism than any other point
in South Carolina. It has been said
on good authority that there are be-
tween forty and fifty Lutheran church
es within a radius of twelve miles of
Lexington. Can any other place say
this?
Lexington, itself, is putting forth
every effort to secure the college, but
il needs the help and cooperation of
the entire county to succeed; and to
this end, the committee in charge of
the subscriptions will ask some one in
each community to solicit subscrip-
tions. But we do not want the peo-
pie to wait for some one to come to see
them, but get out and go to work for
yourselYes-come to see the members
of the committee, or in any other way
do what you can to advance the cause;
it is to be your college as we'll as ours.
The place of location will be decided
on March 5, and now is the time to
work. ..-........
Besides the educational advantages
given Us, look for one moment at the
proposition from a business standpoint
1t will build up the town and sur
rounding country, and tt reby in
crease the valuation of property, max
ing each one's home more valuable
and more desirable on account of these
added advantages.
Get busy, do all you can,. and call
on any member Of the following COM
mittee for any information that you
may desire: Rev. T. S. Brown, w. P.
Roof, II. n. Hammer, D. 2. Efird,

COMMISSIONER
FINED BY COURT
II. E. JOHNSON OF RYDER, MEM.
Der or NORTH DAKOTA BAR,
FINED FOR COLLECTING IL.
LEGAL FEES AS U. s. COMMITS.
sIoNER--PAIp FINE TO-DAY.

H. E. Johnson OF Ryder, Ward coun-
ty, a member OF the North Dakota bar,
was fined $50 and committed to jail
until paid, by the federal court on the
charge OF demanding and collecting IL
legal fines as United States commits
sioner.
1t appeared from the showing that
the defendant was entitled to collect
$3.50 when in fact he collected SIS in
each of several cases. He entered a
plea of guilty on the first count of the
indictment. The defendant stated that
he believed that the amount he col
lected was legal AMI claimed that he
was informed by Receiver Mccain of
the Minot landoffice that the amount
collected was allowed by law.
Numerous complaints have been
made to Judge Amidon of the United
States court by entrymen and special
agents Of the land department that
some of the commissioners collect en-
cessive fees. In every case in which
these claims have been supported by
evidence. criminal proceedings have
been started against the commission
ers.
Mr.. Johnson's was the first that has
been brought to hearing.

Railroad News
Big R. R.
FOR FOSTER CO,

Darlington Independent: Whistles
on the engines of the third great
transcontinental railroad system to in
wade Foster county will be blowing in
time to add to the din of the Fourth Of
July in Foster county this year. The
Great Northern's new cutoff will be
completed through the county by that
time and an irregular train service
will be established. In fact, by June
l construction trains will enter he
county and the work of laying the
heavy steel through Glenield, Roose-
welt, Dewey and Larrabee townships
will be we'll under way.
With the coming of the Great North
ern tracks, an immense amount Of
rich farming land will be given close
railroad facilities and there will not be
a county in the entire state where
all the and will average as close to a
railroad as will be the case with all
Foster farms.
With only eighteen townships in the
county, We nov have three great
transcontinental systems crossing as
follows:
Main line 500 line, Minneapolis to
racine coast; three lines Of Northern
Pacific, Chicago to coast, Main line
Great Northern, st. Paul to coast.
Very few counties in Iowa, Illinois
or other parts of the Mississippi val
ley enjoy better railroad facilities
than are afforded to the Foster coun-
ty farmer in the marketing Of his
grain. Not only are all our farms
within a few miles of market, but
Foster county is close to the worlds
greatest grain and live stock markets
and enjoys what is known as the
Minnesota rate" the lowest in ex-
istence On farm produce.
When the Great Northern line,
which is to be the main line, is fully
completed, there will be a big boost
in the amount Of taxable property in
the county. The Great Northern will
have about the same mileage in the
county as the 500 and the latter is
contributing about $1,000 annually
to Foster county. The Northern Pa
ciffc has more mileage but the branch
lines are 0 assessed on as high a
valuation, SO the road gets off by pay
ing around $4,000 yearly.
The new towns will also contribute
largely in taxes to the county and
state.
