Protect Dumb Brutes.

Edgefeld probably has too many or
ganizations now, but there is just one
more that wouldsfill a niche that is at
present untitled. An active organiza-
tion for the prevention of cruelty to
animals would prove a blessing to
scores of animals in this and other Sec
tions of the county. The society in
Augusta for the prevention of cruelty
to dumb brutes is doing splendid work,
and could the cruelty treated beasts of
burden give expression to their graft
tude for the protection thus afforded,
theyswould doubtless let those who are
engaged in this humane work know
how grateful they are. There
are not large number of owners of
dumb brutes that mistreat them, but
the few who do should be dealt with
as the law provides. Whether we have
an organization or not, let's be on the
alert for those who mistreat the faith
full horse, mule or OK, letting them
know that they are violating the law
and will be called to account.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1915-10-13
Suggestion to Our Law Makers.

In Edgefeld and several other coun-
ties of the State, the criminal docket
is generally cleared in two or three
days, seldom indeed is the entire week
consumed. But under the law no civil
business can be tried by the jury sum-
moned for the criminal court. The
law should be so changed that the
court can go at once into the civil cal
endar as soon as the criminal docket
is cleared. Were such change made,
a considerable saving could be effect
ed, both to the tax payers and to the
presiding judge. Frequently in Edge.
field the judge disposes of all criminal
cases by Tuesday or Wednesday night
and has to return home at considerable
expense only to come back the following
Monday to hold civil court, and the
tax payers have the expense of bring
ing jury here for two days. work,
when the same jury could continue
throughout the week, disposing of
many civil cases. Were such change
made, the lawyers could anticipate the
work of the court and have their civil
cases ready as we'll for the latter part
of the week set now apart for criminal
cases as for the following Monday.
Then. too, such a change would tend
to relieve the congestion of the civil
calendar which at the time it exists.
