AUG. SMITH BUYS
HARD PLACE FOR
HANDSOME HOME

The Greenville Piedmont.
A realty deal of special interest
was closed yesterday afternoon when
Aug. w. Smith, of Spartanburg,
president of Brandon, Poinsett and
Woodruff cotton mills, purchased the
home place of Major Charles F.
Hard, at the corner of Pendleton
street and Leach street.
AS was announced several days ago
Mr.. Smith will move to Greenville
and make his home here in the near
future, and it was learned today
that he is planning to build-,on the
Hard place one Of the handsomest
homes in Greenville at a cost Of
approximately $4,000.
Handsome Residential Property.
The Hard place on Pendleton
street is one of the most attractive
pieces of residential property in
Greenville, and is especially adapted
to the erection of a home of the
kind that is to be built by Mr..
Smith. The property has frontage
of 200 feet on Pendleton street, runs
back along Leach street to depth
of 400 feet, to Arlington avenue,
where the frontage is 200 feet. The
Arlington avenue front is occupied
by a two-story residence recently
built. This house is included in the
sale of the property to Mr.. Smith.
The price paids for the property,
Major Hard said today, was $1S,75O.
Build Handsome Home.
Plans are now being prepared, it
was learned today, by the architec.
tural firm of Martin & Ward, of
this city, for handsome residence
for MIR. Smith. While it was impos-
sible to secure details of the con-
struction today, it is understood that
it will be one Of the finest in the
city, and will probably cost not far
from $4,000.
Wardlaw Smith, son Of Aug. W.
Smith, will also move to Greenville

MHE FAULT. FINDER.
By Annie L. Roche.

Are you a faultfnder? You will
find scattered throughout this world
people who are continually finding
fault with the other fellow, and
what the other fellow does. Just who
these grumblers are shows clearly in
this pungent paragraph, "How easy
it is to criticise his actions and find
fault with his management Of the
affair, but how hard it is to bear his
share of the burdens Of the work"
Those who do their duties prompt
ly and well are not among the class
of grumblers. The ones who are
willing to contribute according to
their means to every cause, and
who take part in every movement
that goes to promote some good are
not in this class of mutterers. The
ones who strive to do their very best
and attend to their own affairs are
not in this discontended jealous
crowd. AS a rule-surly critics are
the ones that are furthest from per-
fection-are the ones who have the
most fault to find. The best way
for these people to start a reforn1a-
ton is to reform themselves.

THE INTEREST RATE.

The Anderson Daily Mail calls at
tention to the fact that in thirty
states of the union the legal rate of
interest is six per cent. AS we rem
ember this state has been in the
union about as long as any other
and it seems to us that if we are
ever to receive any consideration as
against the money lenders it is
time that the legislature were doing
something looking to that end. As
it now seems, South Carolina will be
the last state to adopt any reform
looking to the relief of the working
classes and the business interests
of the people of the state.
& Meanwhile, the legislature is TAX
ing up its time legislating as to
when the penalties shall apply to
delinquents in the matter of pay
ment Of taxes, as if it were a mat
ter of any importance whether these
penalties applied thirty days sooner
or thirty days later, with the mat
ter of "eye fakirs," domestic
fowls,' sthe Lickville School Dis
trict" and so on.
As the Daily Mail suggests, If the
interest rate is not lowered by the
present legislature the people may
expect this matter to be an issue in
the next state campaign, and well
they may expect it. Perhaps this ar.
gument will have more force with
some legislators than the rights OF
the people in the matter.
That we will have interest at siS
per cent. in the next few years
goes without saying. The only ques'
ton is whether it will take anothe,
revolution to give the people relief
or whether they are awake to the
situation.

be cut to a minimum by requiring
every judge to hold only the courts
of his own circuit. The lawyers and
business interests would gain by
such a law in that they would have
a Judge always on hand to try
cases. The ends Of justice would be
served by such a change in the law,
as Judge would thus know and be
responsible for the condition of
the dockets in his circuit; and if he
did not clear them, the legislature,
would know where to place the
blame. We would perhaps get rid
of the sometime habit of electing
incompetent men to the bench on
the ground that ''he will be with us
only once in seven years."
Of course there are some argu-
ments in favor Of the judges travel
ing around the state. They tell us
that it educates and broadens the
men on the bench, but we are of the
opinion that it would be as well to
educate them and broaden them
before they 60 on the bench.
If the legislature desires to do
something which will tend to help
in the administration of justice, it
might consider the suggestions here
made.

THE COURTS.

We are glad to see that some pro-
gressive legislation is in sight in the
matter of the administration of JUS
tice. The cry that the courts are
too slow in their workings has been
heard for these many years, and
there has been some excuse for it,
though the courts have often been
criticised when there was no room
for criticism.
In the matter Of the trial of per-
sons charged with crime, the courts
should not be called in session to
try cases while the passions and
prejudices of the people are at their
height. The courts should act de-
liberately. But in the ordinary mat
ters of every day life, there should
be a speedy end to all litigation.
The handling of business matters in
the courts should be>on business
basis, and the business should be dis
posed of on record time.
We, therefore, see much good in
the bill introduced, we believe, by
Representative Hamblin, of Chero-
kee, proposing that the. courts shall
be open at all times to try all liti-
gated cases and matters of civil
nature not requiring jury. This
bill, if enacted into law, will make
it impossible for party with no de-
tense to an action to stay the RENE
dy of the complainant. A man hav-
ing a mortgage to foreclose, or
other action of this kind, may force
the trial of his case at any time, on
due notice, and have the case tried
on its merits. The bill should be-
come law.
But the legislature should 60 a
step further. This law and others
of like nature will do no good un-
less the judges of the circuit courts
are kept in their own circuits. The
judges complain of the small sala-
ries they receive and the great ex-
penses incurred by them in going
about the state. The expenses can
