Want To Abolish a Court.
Similar Bill Failed To Pass At
The 1900 Session of Legislature

The l9OO session OF Legislature
The Frederick County Farmers Asso'
citation is advocating, among other things,
the adjustment of the Orphans Court
by having one qualified person instead OF
three laymen as at present.
We suppose that this organization is
aware that it will take constitutional
amendment to accomplish this reform.
If they can get this or any other Legis-
lature to pass such bill calling for the
repeal of this part of our constitution, it
will be somewhat surprising.
Mr.. Charles C. Waters, when men,
Der of the Legislature at the session of
1900, attempted this very Identical legis-
lation and got the very fattering vote in
the Legislature of constitutional major
ity AGAINST his bill, while those voting
against the measure promptly came for
ward and privately told him that they
thought the billy perfectly righteous
one but that they would not dare vote
for it and go home and face their con-
stituents, for everybody wanted to be
a Judge of the Orphans Court. y
The bill is along the right lines and it
will take little time to have the people
wake up to the fact that the Orphans
Court could be well dispensed with, but
we doubt if it can be accomplished for
quite while yet.
The bill advocated is not right as pro-
posed by our Frederick County farmer
friends. The Register of Wills now does
IS per cent. of the work that the Court
can perform, and if his Office is made
saaried one instead of fees, then he
should act as probate judge as well as
Register of Wills on all matters except
those involving contest of some char
acter, and these then should be referred
to the Circuit Court Judge who should
sit on certain days to hear and determine
iii such matters; this would save the
necessity of any extra judge and would
rot impose hardship on either the Reg
ster of Wills or the Circuit Court Judge
If you are going to reform the system
10 it right and not half way.

Caught Throwing Coal From Train


Six residents of Hghfeld were caught
shoveling coal from w. NJ. coal train
last Friday afternoon. The company has
been more or less bothered by persons

the lookout. On last Friday when the
train pulled into Hightield three young
m en- and three boys climbed on the cars
and began to make the coal fly. Detect
ives Meade and Comegys happened to be
on the train. They took the names of

offenders. All six were arrested Satur-
