YOUNGER JUDGES.

According to the Anderson Trib-
une the judges of the state should be
selected from the younger lawyers,
rather than from older lawyers at
the bar. And Anderson has about four
whom the Tribune would like to see
performing judicial duties.
The Tribune overlooks the fact
that most of the judges who now
'have n foot in the grave" went
on the bench while they we're still
young men. The fact that they are
now old is not because of their
years only, because few of them have
reached their "three score years and
ten," but largely because of the
exacting duties of the office of circuit
judge. The judge of the Anderson
Circuit has been On the bench a good
many years. He was an active mem
Der of the bar when he was elected
circuit judge. He is not an old man
in years now, but the work Of the
circuit bench, we believe, is largely
responsible for his present physical
infrmit;es. (And while we are saying
that we may say too that no mar in
South Carolina deserves better of the
state than does Judge Prince, be-
cause in spite of infirmities WHICH
would have caused many other men
to have quit work and deemed them
selves a confirmed invalid, he has
continued to do the work assigned
him, and with credit to himself and
with great help to the state.)
Another thing the Tribune over
looks. A mar at thirty-ive, if he is
married, likely has a family of
small children. To them he owes much
more than he does to the public. At
the bar he is enabled to be at home,
to assist in the rearing of these chill
dren, and by fair opportunity he
may be enabled to give to them a
college education and to start them
on the way of life. But not so with a
circuit Judge. The duties of that Of
flee take him away from home and
from his family; the income from the
position is about sufficient to keep
soul and body together, if he lives
frugally and with due regard to his
position, with the result that the
young lawyer who goes on the bench,
neglects his family, throws away the

STATES LIVE STOCK
SURPRISES COTTON
Several Causes of Changed Con-
dition, Says DR.. Lewis, Head
of Department

Columbia, July 1.-THE live
stock industry in South Carolina
during last year exceeded in total
value that of the states cotton crop
The interesting, and somewhat
startling statement, was made yes
terday by DR.. W. X. Lewis, state
veterinarian and Inspector in
charge of livestock, which includes
cattle, hogs, sheep horses and
mules, total ss4,oOO,OOO while the
cotton crop, taking the state de-
partment of agrieulture's estimate
of 10000 bales and allowing the
high average price of 20 cents per
pound, values $77,6OO,OO0.
The above statement will come
as an eye-opener to many South
Carolinians who had no idea that
the live stock industry in this state
had grown to such proportion.
DR.. Lewis who represents both
the federal government and the
state in the control of disease
among animals. attributes this
condition to three things: Tick
eradication, hog cholera work, and
the advent of the boil weevil He be-
lieves that the solution of the boil
weevil problem is in live stock rails
ing and sees for South Carolina
great possibilities in. this industry.
Since 1914 when the legislature
made an appropriation to fight the
cattle tick, thus eliciting federal
support to the extent of giving
South Carolina a separate district,
great work has been done in elimi-
mating the principal drawback, the
tick. The federal government has
raised it's quarantine entirely and
the state quarantine rests only on
the coastal plain. Hog cholera, too,
has been gradually cut down
through the preventive treatment
until today the loss through this
disease is estimated to he only
$50, 900 a year. DR.. Lewis has been
in charge of the South Carolina Of
flee since it's establishment and to
the untiring efforts of him and OF
his force, South Carolina can attrl-
butte an actual and potential saving
of about 100000 a year, not to
speak of the increase noted in live
stock. In 1914 the farmers of the
state took an actual and potential
loss from the cattle tick of ST.
500 900 and from hog cholera of
$500, 900. Gradually these items
have diminished.
Referring to that strip Of coastal
plain which the state holds in cat
tie tick quarantine DR.. Lewis was
asked what could be done to eradl-
cate the tick. there also. "Obser-
vance of the statewide stock act
will hasten the entire eradication
more than anything I know" he
said.

as the Clemson College live stock
sanitary office. In 1921 it was
made a part of the college with DIR.

lCRISIS IN GERMANY
TO BE RELIEVED
Of Gold Marks Reduced.
100000 Will Be Accepted as
Satisfactory for Present.

Paris, July 1.-THE ~reparations
commission decided today to relieve
the German financial crisis to the
extent of reducing the monthly in
stallment of 100000 gold marks
due next Saturday on the schedule of
payment to 100000 gold marks.
Germany had announced her willing
ness to pay the whole amount but the
commission ruled that in view of the
crisis the smaller figure was all that
would be required.
Credit to the amount of $4,000 900
gold marks was given Germany on
her reparations account for deliver
les of dyestuffs made during the last
few months to the textile alliance Of
America for all the allies and also
for deliveries of coal which had been
made to Luxembourg at the request
of the allied governments. These
credits were due Germany for some
time. and the officials thought that
this time was opportune to allow
them in view Of the German Difficult

cording to the quarterly production
