Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15, 1902. Read J M Cobb's Shoe advr. APPROACHING "WEDDdG. A Son of North Carolina Selects a South Carolinian Daughter. The receutannouncement of the coming marriage of Miss Sallie Bailey to Rev Mr Wilkins, of Cly do, North Carolina, was a sur prise to the many lriends of Miss Bailey. The wedding will occur on Weduefdav, the 29:h of this m ?nth, at the bowe of Dr T M Bai ley,in the city of Greenville. Mies eg Grace nod Lillin-May Bailey will act as maids' ol tiunor ou ihi* occasion. Mr Wilkins is a nephew of the honored Dr A C Wilkins, of Bat^e burg. Beside* being a very mag netic and handsome young man, Mr Wilkius has attained promin ence in the Btate of North Caroli na by his great energy, accompan ied bv unusual versatility of tal ent. He resides in the beautiful mountain town of Clyde, in west ern North Carolina, in the romn tic "Land of the Sky," and haB charge of* the ''Sykland Baptist," and also is principal of the flour ishing school at that place. In ad dition he is pastor of ihe Clyde Baptist church. The depaiture of Miss Bailey will be deemed a great loss by Edgefield, but we cannot help re joicing over the good fortune of Mr Wilkins in gaiuiug a prize of such rare value. RAILROAD BONDS. The Citizens Interested Held a Mass Meeting Last Friday On Friday last the representa tive men of Pickeus and Wise townships assembled i^ the court house in reply to the following called meeting : Some time ago Honorable J C Sheppard, Mayor W W Adams, President A E Padgett, S McG Simkins,Esq.,and Mr R A Cochran were appointed a committee to take into consideration the ques tion of the bonded indebtedness of Pickeus and Wise townships, aud were requested tojreport to a sub sequent meeting. Now, that tho time for the payment of taxes has expired,"} and no rail road taxes have been paid, so far as we know, and the legislature is soon to cou vene, it is important that the peo ple of the two townships shal again meet and consider this most im portant and serious matter. We therefore respectfully request our fellow citizens of Pickeus and Wise townships to meet in the Court House at ll o'clock a. m. ou Friday, the 10th of January, 1902, for the purpose of cousidering what shall now be done nuder the circumstances. Hou^rable Thomas Rainsford . was cal led to f.he chair and Mr M Johii O Sneppani. sharman co. cn 5ii i tte, offered a resolute a .?? - questing the i^g.sialiVs di legah - of Edgetield to Lave au act passed authorizingonr couuty authorities to refund the bonds past due and issue new bonds to run 30 years at 5 per cent. There was a division of the cit izens as to the resolutions adopted by tho committee and Solicitor Thurmond offered the following: u Resolved, That our members in the legislature secure such leg islation as will.enable the people of Pickeus aud-*vVise Townships, to issue new bonds to pay by com promise or otherwise, the railroad bonds, if a commission consisting of three from each .Township to be named iu the Act, decides that they shall be settJed." Mr Thurmond, in discussing his res olution among other things, said : I conclude from the resolution offer ed by the Committee, that it contem plates issuing new bonds at one nun di ed cents in tho dollar, for the ola ones, without delay. Our Supreme court has declared township RR bonds unconstitutional unless the road has been completed through the township, and this was our our Supreme court's construction ol our own statutes aud constitution. Now, che comity be tween the State and Federal courts re quires the Federal courts to follow the decisions of any State Supreme court on the construction of the .statutes and constitution of such State. The Fed eral courts have refused to follow our Supreme court's decisions in th*? bond cases, and now there is a clash between those courts. It is admitted law that the Federal courts tan enforce a judgment for tax es, as in our case, only through our County ofiioials. and have no power to send a marshal to enforce it. The legislature, following the deci sions of our Supreme courts, passed an Act forbidding all officers from levy ing or collecting this railroad tax, and our Supreme court bas recently issued an injunction against the County of ficers of a certain county, and forbade and enjoined them from collecting the sa d tax, and the motion for a perma nent injunction is pending, and I fa vor a law that will enable us to issue the bonds if we have it to do, but am against paying these bonds until our own oourt says we hive them to pay I favor exhausting every means to de feat them. Mr McG Simkin8 made a speech op posing the adoption of the committee's and m favor of the Thurmond iesolu tion. He said that one meant to shut off all chances of compromise and pay tbs debt dollar for dollar, while the other left the way open for a compro m se,.afld at the same time provided for legislation authorizing the refund ing of the debt even though a compro-: mise was not perfected, ile express-: ed the opinion that if our State Su preme court granted the injunction asked for in the Greenville case, that we should also ask- for poe. and that if we showed a determined right tlje pond holders woijld eventually eena-: pr ?mjse and be glad, to do sq. The Qtb,er. gentlemen who par-r tjcipaterj in the debate were Jouq P Sneppard,A E Padgett S B May son and-A g Tompkius on the one aide, and j W Thurmond, B, E Nicholson, James H Tillman aud S McG Simkina. We have not thc resolutions of tine committee, but really there is put little difference in the tpeau? ing of the two. The resolutions prepared by the committee were adopted by a vote of 23 to 25. ?Jim iimiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiEimiiiiiUj S LOCAL AND PERSONAL 1 SisiuiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiniuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiti?
