The County Court.
Editor Daily Item:

EQllOr Odlly Item.
What do we want with any more
courts? The people have employed
number Of judges and solicitors, and
other officials to carry on this business
and pay them well for the same, and
they are supposed to be efficient men,
and get enough pay (there has been
no strikes among them 80 far), but
it seems they cannot keep the docket
clear with three hundred and sixty
five days to do it in. There must be
some screws loose in the machinery
or they expect to run the machinery
with the same steam that blows tee
whistle. How Will a@oti,@r court TIA
prove or cure matters?
Is it possible that in this civi!;ze'!
age and such a civilized people as
South Carolina can boast of, that the
differences that may arise between
her citizens if they cannot be settled
by arbitration, or by the number OF
judges now employed. and the num-
Der of solicitors, and the number of
lawyers now at every bar. cannot De
settled without more courts which
will take more money from heavier
taxation and take farmers and others
from important work to serve as jury
men or witnesses in some pettV case
or cases at a busy time for a week or
more?
If a county court were to decide
case on the civil side against man at
this tint Of the year who could not
pay his debt, or against one who DID
not intend to pay it, he could make
motion for new trial, and If refused
he could then appeal to higher
tribunal, which right was made sacred
to every citizen, in the days when
ITO be a South 'Carolinian was great
er than a King On the criminal SIDE
of the court the prisoner has the same
right, but not the prosecutor, be-
cause a man cannot be placed IN
Jeopardy of his life and limb more
than once for the same offense. This
is as far as county court could go
with nothing accomplished but money
paid out by taxpayers and those IN
volved in its meshes.
1t does not seem possible that our
legislators could have been SO impru-
dent in their framing and construc-
ton of the laws as to have used
such words, and phrases as to require
more time more brains and more
profundity than our judges and soil
citors possess; have to explain them
to our highly qualified jurymen.
1t does seem to vote for a county
court would be a reflection on the
judges, solicitors, grand jurors, and
all these officers we have employed
and placed in positions of honor ana
trust. 1t would be better far to find
out the causes which produce the
effects and remedy the same by
STRENGTHENING the hands Of those men
in whatever way they need it.
Respectfully,
Thos. S. Sumter.

Bryan on the County Coart.

Editor Daily Item: -.
In the discussion OF the County
Court proposition which has been
from time to time, appearing in your
columns, has not the real matter In the
issue been put out OF sight?
Since man passed from the. age
when private disputes were settled
with clubs and real or fancied crimes
against society by mobs, it has been
necessary for the public to establish
and maintain courts for the presar-
vation Of public peace and the pno-
lection of private property. The COM
! plexity of modern life---the growthSo So4
population-the utilization OF mod
ern inventions-have& increased the
work of Courts and year after year
the number Of ,it!gated cases In
creases.
Our system Of. trying these cases
had its foundation before Magma. Char
ia, and though it displays some os the
infirmities of age, go modern thinker
has devised a more equitable and .Gat-
isfactory method Of adjusting, dis
putes than the ancient trial by jury.
Lawyers are trained to practice In
the courts just as physicians are
trained to practice In hospitals. AZ
a class they are rot responsible Tor
litigation any more than phyS3ctans
are for illness.
If it is proper for the public 10 sup
ply courts for the use Of society. It IL
essential that they be sufficient TO an
swer the purpose OF their czsa.c-t.
It is not questioned that
the present courts Of Sumter are IN
adequate, and it sees IS to me that the
only question is what is the best and
cheapest way to. remedy this defettt
For it is not alone the lawyers who
suffer on account Of this deficiency.

by Splendid Exhibit in
Administration Build
ing

There was a splendid exhibit held
in the library of the high school ad-
ministration building Tuesday after
noon for the purpose Of showing what
excellent work has been accomplished
this year by the girls of the 7th, Sth,
9Th, 10th and 11th grades in the de-
partments Of Fine and Domestic Art
and in Palmer method writing.
In the department Of fine art,
which is under the direction Of Miss
Mary Haynsworth, the exhibit con-
sisted of numerous designs, illustrat-
ing the elementary principles of de-
signs, black and white drawings and
landscapes and poster work in water
colors. Many of the designs shown
were originated and stencilled by the
girls of the third year. A number OF
these exhibits were extremely fine and
gave an index to the interest shown in
their work and natural aptitude of
many Of the girls in this department.
Under the department Of domestic
art, the exhibits shown covered many
phases >of domestic work. Charts
were shown, drawn by tie girls in
this department, illustrating work in
domestic science and in food studies.
Students were taught by these charts
what is meant by balanced" and I'm
balanced" diets, etc.
Exhibits of work in sewing done by
the girls Of the 9Th, 9Th and 10th
grades covered all phases Of needle
work from the simple problem Of
sewing bag TO the more complicated
one of making dress. A beautiful
collection of neatly made dresses
ranging from a simple homespun TO
organdies, fluffy. howery and berio-
boned made a gay and most attractive
display. Many other dainty and nice
ly made garments, hand embroidery
and pieces of household linen made
up this very complete exhibit Of school
work. Miss Helen Pullin is in charge
of all work in the department Of do
mestic science and domestic art.
The third department covered by
this instructive and splendidly ar
ranged exhibit was that of the exhibit
ton of many spicemen sheets in the
Palmer method writing. Miss Linnie
McLaurin and Miss Ruth Harrington
are in charge Of this department Of
the school. This method OF writing
was a number of years ago adopted by
the school and is now taught IL all
grades as the standard method OF
writing for the entire school.

WILL ARRAIGN MAN
SUSPECTED OF WALL
STREET BOMBING

New York, May 20.-Guiseppe De-
Filippo, who department of justice
officials stated, was identified yester-
day by five persons as the man who
drove the explosive laden wagon
which caused the Wall street disaster
last September, was slated for arraign-
ment before United States Commits
sioner Emery in Newark today. A
warrant of removal will be requested
so that the prisoner may be brought
Immediately to New York. ,
Department of Justice agents today
carried a warrant to be served on
Filippo charging him with conspir-
acy in the destruction of government
property. This charge, based on the.
United States criminal code, was pre-
ferred because of the fact that the as
say Office in Wall street was damaged
by the explosion. Filipppo, who was
arrested after being under %surveill-
ance for two months, raj held in soly
itary confinement in the Bayonne. N.
j.. Jail last night on a technical
charge of suspicion.
Three of the persons taken before
Filippo yesterday were positive, gov
eminent agents said, in their i6entifi-
cation. Two others who saw him
were reported to have been reasonably
sure he was the man they saw a few
minutes after the explosion.

50-MILE Wind
DOES DAMAGE
Awnings Ripped OFF and
Doors Women
Have Hard Time.

A south and southwest wind, blow
ing at between ~ ard SO miles an
hour at 1880 o'clock, made things de-
cidedly unpleasant for pedestrians
and for the high school athletes en-
tered in the interscholastic track and
field meet. The high wind made it
impossible for the athletes to break
any records today.
At Z o'clock this morning the wind
was only 20 miles an hour, but its We
locity increased rapidly during the
moor hour, till it reached nearly SO
miles at 1880 o'clock.
During the afternoon reports Of
some damage were received. AVN
ings were ripped off in several places,
doors were broken. and some signs
were blown down.
The high wind was, of particular un-
pleasantness to the women pedestri-
ans. Some Of them, however. found
it an excellent opportunity for dis
playing the new n ~gay-colored gar
tiers, while in one or two instances
they showed that they are trolling
their own" In the latter. case neither
the g~ay-colored round garter nor the
long, buckle-'em-up kind was needed,
for the stockings were seen to be
tightly rolled to a place about three
inches below the knees.
One man, carrying a pint bottle Of
something in each hip pocket, was
slightly embarrassed when the wind
picked up the back of his coat and
lifted it to his shoulders. The long
slit in the back was. very carefully
pinned down so that prying eyes
could MOI discover the bottles.
