??? OB?? The Lexington Dispatch Wednesday, July 1, 1903. THE TOXAWAY DAH To be Critically Examined by Engineers ?Railroads Afraid of It. Greenville N6ws. It is understood here on unquestioned authority that the Southern railway, the Blue Ridge railroad and the Anderson Light and Water company, which would suffer tremendous damage in the event of any serious break in Toxaway dam, will send engineers to the Sapphire country to make a careful examination of the structure. So many conflicting re ports have been received in Greenville about the dam it i9 impossible to form any adequate idea as to its strength and holding powers without an investigation by experts. It is for this reason, therefore, that the companies whose property would be at the mercy of the floods are determined to secure an ofiScal report on the subject. Off hand opinions by men not capable of giving the views of an expert will not be suffered. The Toxaway dam is 27 miles in circumference. In many places the water is 60 feet deep. Should this mighty volume ever escape there would be another Johnstown horror. It would' crush the Seneca river trestles on the Southern and Blue Ridge into kindling wood, and it would sweep away the dam at Portman shoals, near Anderson, which is considered to be the most powerful structure in the state. The wild rush of the water would find an outlet in the Savannah river, and would flood the city of Augusta. There is so much at stake, the many thousands of acres of farming land to be destroyed, that the people who stand to lose everything will not feel 6ecure until they receive the information which will be supplied by engineers of ability an d integrity. There is no desire to injure the owners at Toxaway, but men whose millions can be wrecked in a night want to know the truth and they expect to get this at any cost According to newspaper and other reports the dam is mightily built of stone. From other sources, however, is is claimed that nothing stronger than a bed of earth holds the bilions and billions of tons of water.

Now that it is certain the Tillman ca?e will be tried in Lexington county, many questioned the assertion of the Record yesterday that Richland county would have to pay the costs, about $5,000. This question was settled, however, shortly after the Crawford case was ; tried in Kershaw. That county presented the bill for costs, about $800 to Richland to pay, and upon refusal brought suit. The Supreme court decided in Richland's favor, and the next session of the Legislature the Act was fixed so tfiat the county from which the case was sent would have to pay the costs. It may surprise some to know that the Tilllman case has already cost the county about $500. This includes witness fees, payment to the Sheriffs of other counties for serving witness papers, and other usual costs for four days of the April term, after which the case was continued, and for four days during the present term, while the change of venue was being argued. The case being ordered to Lexington, of course, makes additional mileage, although a county official this morning stated that the mileage cost to Saluda would have been at least 81,000 more. It is estimated that witnesses will be needed at least a tfeek, and none of the attorneys would be surprised should the case take at least two weeks. [Many are of the opinion that this county will have to pay the expenses of the Tillman trial This is not the case, as the following act of the General Assembly, session 1902, wiil show: "Sec 1 Be it enacted by the General Aseembly of the State of South Carolina: That whenever a criminal case is transferred from one county to another for trial, all the costs of such trial shall be paid by the county in which the bill of indictment was found; such costs to be certified to such county by the Clerk of the Court of the county in which such trial is had. Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect on its approval, and apply to all cases pending. Approved the llfch day February, A. D. 1902." An attorney for the defence stated that they were entirely satisfied with the selection of the county. He also said for the present there would be no further developments, The court in Lexington meets on the third Mondav of SeDtember, and Judge Gage, of Chester, will preside. THE FORMAL ORDER.

House Foated to Him. Columbia, Mo., June 25.?The Missouri river flood has given P.C.Nuckles, of Rocheport, a new house, completely furnished. The high waters drove Mr. Nuckles away from his farm and when he returned to it he found on his land a comparatively new house, which was in good conditicn, despite its watery journey.

Des Moines, Iowa, June 25.?The Democratic State convention by a > vote of 463 9-10 to 354 1-10 late this afternoon refused to adopt a minority report signed by four mem? ? i..t: oers 01 me committee on resuiuuuuo adding to the platform reported by the seven members constituting the majority of the committee, a plaDk affirming the Democratic National platform of 1900, and by a vote of 628 1-12 to i99 1-2 rejected another minority report adding to the plank demanding government control ol railway charges a provision that in case such control should not prove effective, the national government should acquire ownership of railroads. The platform declares against imperialism and for self government for the Philippines and Porto Rice: condemns the financial policies of the Republican party, protests against the Aldrich bill as an effort to give value and stability to water bonds and securities of trusts, and insists that the volume of money be sufficient to meet the needs of business. The platform deplores "the corrupt condition of the government service in the post office department and de mands a thorough investigation of that and other departments by a congressional committee, publicity as to such conditions and punishment of all wrong doers." It calls for the removal of the tariff from all trust made goods and demand that all trust schedules be adjusted with a view to tariff for revenue only." The platform asks for a government limitation of railway charges to such an amount as will yeild a reasonable return on the investment. J. H. Quick, of Sioux City was introduced as temporary chairman and addressed the convention. Just About Bedtime Take a Little Early Riser?it will cure constipation, biliousness and liver troubles.

Can Sue for Whiskey Seized. The State Supreme Court has just handed down a decision of interest in reference to the seizing of beer and I whiskey by the constabulary. Some time ago Constable Eubanks, of Spartanburg, seized a dozen bottles of beer from the premises of Mattie Moore. Suit was instituted for the recovery of the property under what is commonly termed claim and delivery proceedings. The State held that plaintiff could not sue, but under the dispensary law, the party from whom the beer was seized would have to give bond before entering suit. The case was first tried before Magistrate Garris, who held that Moore had brought proper suit and was entitled to judgment. An ap peal was taken from the decision to the circuit cour', and Judge Buchanan reversed the ruling of Magistrate Garris. From thence the case terminated in the Supreme Court, ?

Umsted, of Worchester, Mass., by Judge Truax, of the Su- a preme Court, for $50,000 in favor of Mr. Howard, of Brooklyn, on a note of $50,000 made by exUnited States Senator John L. McLiurin, of South Carolina, in April 22, payable six months after date, to the order of the International Trust Company, of Maryland, which was endorsed by Mr. Umsted. The note was secured by stock and bonds, which depreciated to such an extent during the recent decline in the stock market that the company demanded additional securities, which were not forthcoming whereupon the company declared the note due immediately. The note was afterward delivered to Mr. Howard, who obtained the first attachment against Mr. Umst^d for $20,000 on June 2. Night "Was Her Terror.
