Scraps and ?act$. ? A dispatch from Geneva. Switzerland says that one of the chief officers of the Albanian body guard of Abdul Hamld, sultan of Turkey, has arrived tftere from Constantinople. He says a-serious affair occurred several nights ago in the palace,- between members of the bodyguard. The sultan rushed to the scene, when some one of the crowd fired at the sultan, but the bu"et deflected from his body by a coat of mail which he always wears. The sultan at once returned to his rooms and threatened the punishment of all officers. The officer who reached here, says he fled Immediately after this scene was enacted. He does not know what became of the other men. ? The gunboat Wasp, which was thought to have been lost In the storm that swept the north Atlantic coast A OnH SimHflV ittSl r I iuaj, oaiui u?j ??.iv> turned up at Newport on Tuesday, with steam only In one boiler and most of the sails gone. She had had a terrific battle with the hurricane, and had sprung a teak, after having been driven nearly to the Gulf Stream. Her pumps choked up and she was kept afloat for two days by hand bailing by the crew. At one time the water which came in through a leak in the stern, flooded her engine room, and for ten hours on Sunday the Wasp was at the mercy of the waves. The crew of sixty men, a third of whom were naval apprentices. and unused to such boisterous conditions, bailed many hours with buckets and succeeded in freeing the engine room. Hospital Steward White sustained a broken rib, but refused to give up his place In the bailing line. ?John D. Rockefeller, it was learned last Wednesday, has left New York and gone south. Subpoena servers have been after the oil king with a summons to testify before a special commission in this city in the case of the state of Missouri against the Standard Oil company and its allied companies. This case is designed to prevent the Standard Oil company from doing business in Missouri. The examination originally set for December 4th. has been postponed until January 5th. when it is expected that Henry H. Rogers will testify. Mr. Rogers, one of the subpoena servers, has made affidavit, was served in his automobile, the subpoena and the $2.50 witness' fee being thrown through the vehicle's window upon his lap. Although subpoena servers have been after twenty-one high Standard* Oil men, .Mr. Rogers is the only one on whom service has as yet been made. The wife of Mr. Rockefeller did not accompany him south. Neither did his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Friends of Mr. Rockefeller said that they did not know Just where he had gone, but that it was "far south." ? The finding of the courtmartial in the case of Midshipman Minor Meriwether, charged with manslaughter in the killing of Midshipman James R. Branch, in a fist fight at Annapolis on November 5 last has been published by the secretary of the navy. Meriwether was acquitted of manslaughter; but was convicted of violating the regulations of the academy and of conduct prejudicial to the good order and the discipline of the navy. The secretary approves the finding, and the sen lence wnicn was 10 me eneci mm Meriwether receive a public reprimand and be confined to the academy for a year was approved with a modification to the effect that he be allowed to go on the annual practice cruise. Speaking of the verdict and sentence Meriwether said: "I am more than happy that the courtmartial has declared I am not guilty of causing the death of Midshipman Branch. I do not feel that my sentence is unjust and I intend to spend my time in hard work, so that I may make a record in the navy that will cause the people to forget my part in this sad affair." ? The army of education in the United States is made up of 4 50.000 teachers, of whom 120,000 are men, 330,000 women The overwhelming majority of teachers are natives of the United States, less than 30,000 having been born abroad?one in fifteen. Most of the male teachers are between the years of 25 and 35. The majority of the women teachers are between 15 and 25. There are 2,300 male teachers over 65. There are less than 1,500 female teachers over 65. Three times as many female as male teachers are put down as "age unknown." There are 21,000 colored teachers in the United States, thus divided between the two sexes: 7,700 men and 13,300 women. There are 500 Indian teachers in the Indian schools of the United States?240 men and 260 women. The average age of teachers in the United States is higher than in England and lower than in Germany. The proportion of very youthful teachers is much greater in the country than in the city districts. The largest proportion of male teachers is to be found in West Virginia, where they number 50 per cent, of the total. The largest proportion of women is to be found in Vermont, where they form 90 per cent, of the whole numV?a? TKo ctorwlav*/! i\f a/hirotinn iu very much higher In Vermont than It is in West Virginia. The number of teachers in the United States has increased greatly in recent years. In 1871 there were 125.000, in 1880. 225.000. in 1890, 340.000 and at present 450.000. ? Thomas F. Ryan appeared before the New York insurance investigating committee last Tuesday and told what E. H. Harriman did and threatened to do when he demanded that Mr. Ryan concede to h'm a share in the control of the Equitable Life Assurance Society last June. Mr. Ryan assured the committee that he had meant no disrespect by his former refusal to disclose their conversations, and said that he hud determined to answer the questions to which he had refused replies on Friday last because District Attorney Jerome said he ought to do so. Mr. Ryan's version of what Mr. Harriman demanded, and what he threatened to do upon the refusal of his demands, was in substance as follows: That Harriman demanded one-half of the 502 shares of stock of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, which Mr. Ryan had purchased from James H. Hyde, and which gave Mr. Ryan control of the property. That Mr. Harriman threatened, unless he was conceded this share in the control of the society, to exert his political and all other influences against Mr. Ryan and his project. That Mr. Harriman declared that there probably would be legislative action, and that in that event his influence would be important. That Harriman demanded the right to name two of five trustees to vote the controlling stock in the election of directors of the society. In reply to repeated questions by Charles E. Hughes, cousel of the committee, Mr. Ryan stated that Mr. Harriman did not threaten that there should be legislative action unless he was given a share in the Emu'table control, but said there would probbly such action. Neither did Mr. Harriman threaten such action by an officer of the government. It was a strenuous Interview. Mr. Rvan said, and was held in the presence of Elihu Root, then Mr. Ryan's counsel, now secretary of state, and Paul D. Cravath. also Mr. Ryan's counsel. Mr. Ryan told the committee that he drew the inference from it that Mr. Harriman did not ej want anybody to control the Equit- . able Society unless he had a share in n it. Mr. Ryan also stated that he paid tl no attention to Mr. Harriman's state- b ment that his influence would be in- ^ portant in the event of legislative action and informed him that he wanted P 110 partners in the enterprise. Mr. si Harriman did not get the coveted ,j; share in the stock. Mr. Ryan declared that this Interview took place within a few days after he got con- rl trol of the Hyde stock. ii ' tl <Thr \(orhviUr (Enquirer. I Ci w YORKVILLE, S. C.s e< FRIDVY, DECEMBER 15. 1905. : t On the first trial of the case of Sut- w ton vs. the Catawba Power company, ? the jury found for the plaintiff in the sum of $600. On the second trial the verdict was for $1,000, and on the third L it was for $1,500. The case has been a fought with unusual stubbornness on ^ both sides. ^ The Rev. Tom Dixon and his mis- s taken admirers are respectfully Invited v to tell what they think of this: Rev. ^ Richard Carroll, a negro preacher of hi Columbia, is to deliver an address in .di the opera house in Yorkville. An ad- 0 mission fee will be charged. The proceeds will be equally divided between ri the negro orphanage, of which Carroll vi is the head, and the fund for the erec- y tion of a Confederate monument in thf . town of Yorkville.?Anderson Daily Mall. P Softly contemporary, softly! Walt c< until after Rev. Richard Carroll has really been invited, and after the lec- P1 ture has been delivered, then you may eask Rev. Tom Dixon and his mistaken tl admirers what they think of It. P1 n< A RB?L.irrioN introduced in Congress & by Representative Lovering providing L for another cotton crop estimate to be c< Issued by the agricultural department ^ on January 10, has brought forth a S( storm of protests from the south. v Various southern commercial bodies ^ hold that these government estimates sj are at best a nuisance in that the prln- id cipal purpose they subserve is a de- c< moralization of trade. It is also ard gued that since the estimates of Miss Giles, the New Orleans Times-Demo- P crat and the department, all close together, were not badly discredited by ^ the estimate of the census bureau c there is really no apparent need for ? another report. " J The, Farnum letters, which were to have been delivered last Tuesday were " not forthcoming, as per the order of ^ the supreme court. When the time for b the delivery rolkd around Mr. T. Moul- ^ trie Mordecai, attorney for Farnum, A appeared before the court and stated c that on his advice the letters had some 0 time ago been sent out of the state 11 ai to the care of Dr. Chappelle of Dawson, p Ga., and that Dr. Chappelle is now tl hunting somewhere in Mississippi, out ^ of reach of communication. Mr. Mor- ^ decai promised that the papers would be forthcoming as soon as Dr. Chappelle could turn them over. And now after all It looks as If the whole thing ^ has been a miserable farce. There has A been nothing to prevent the Farnum w crowd from abstracting or destroying tl such of the papers as they did not care ** to have made public, and this has no jjj doubt been done. If the papers should tf eventually show up anything of im- d] portance the public will be much sur- u' v< prised as it will have a right to be. a| Al/thcx'gh we are not very hopeful tf about the matter. It will be particular- ^ ly gratifying to the people of this S( section If Congressman Webb Is sue- si cessful in his efforts to secure the erectlon of a monument on King's Mountain. It was a heroic struggle that j, the American patriots made in wrest- G ing their liberty from Great Britain; ?' but not In that whole war was there a more splendid exhibition of noble man- st hood than at King's Mountain. Not S only this, King's Mountain was un- ^ doubtedly the most decisive battle of S1 the war. In fact it was the decisive D battle It was made possible by ? Huck's defeat at Brattonsville and it T forced the subsequent surrender of N Cornwallis at Yorktown. Even Sara- w toga does not outrank it in Importance, ^ ill and as compared with it .Lexington and r Bunker Hill were as child's play. If pi there is another spot of the whole Rev- ^ olutionary war that is more deserving a| of especial recognition, we no noi v know of it. There should be a B C( monument on King's Mountain large enough and imposing enough to over- e shadow anything else of the kind in S America, and the national government ? should put it there. Until this spot is fittingly marked by the national gov- 01 ernment the marking of other battle- C grounds of the Revolution is an empty JJ, farce. g ? - c Case of Meriwether. E The courtmartial of Midshipman ^ Meriwether on account of the death of y Midshipman Branch in a list fight at si Annapolis has excited very general interest throughout the country, and not the least interesting feature of the *u whole proceeding is the manner in which ii the secretary of the navy has carried fl out that portion of the sentence pro- j5. vlding for a public reprimand. The r, secretary's reprimand is as follows: h "Your disobedience to the laws of *' your country, your forgetfulness of the '' full import of your oath, your yield- r ing to fierce and a igry passions when r' tempted by a sense of wrong, have v borne fruits so bitter that your worst punishment has been already suff?red. ' 111 ili'it CTViaU t UfhlHil of Hflf-SiiPI'ifiCO ? and obedience. a lift* useful to your ( country will, it is hoped, atone for n Slave faults which have clouded the e early years of your service." c We would not be understood as be- j ins without sympathy for poor Branch a who lost his life; nor for undue parti- J zanship for Meriwether who has been "! the subject of a whole lot of more or p less ridiculous courtmartlal proceed- c ings; but divirting from the issue all ^ elements of sympathy and all recollection of the unfortunate tragedy the a, rtst of it is but little short of comical. P Here was a quarrel between two ca- jj dets. There was no sense in it maybe; p but both of them thought so. and in the w light of the traditions of the institution c< in which they were being educated, it ? would have been impossible to have a convinced them otherwise. Also there V was no other way for it than to settle _ their difference by what is known as p a fair fist fight, which had to be had ai as a salve to their own notions of honor and in deference to the accepted w gospel of the student body. ai Under the conditions that existed ither Branch or Meriwether would ave sooner died than tried to evade le fight, and with the fight on, both i Ing men of unquestioned pluck il ud to last until at hast one could ursue it no further. In these clrcumtanc e i, it was not surprisi ng that one f the young men died. But why should the secretary's repimand be directed only at the survivoi idlvidually? We are unable to see lie justice of it. Every word of the ?cretary's reprimand of Meriwethei ) re-ally an arraignment of the tradlio: s and customs of Annapolis; bul i it all there Is nothing to indicate liat he has the slightest suspicion ol fanf anrt ther< in lies the ridiculous ess of the whole situation.

Wednesday: The mount of privilege tax is climbing p close to the 1130,000 mark, and the checks come in for the next ew days of this month as they have een coming during the last two weeks mt astonishing record will have beer cached. There was a lot of talk est year that the enormous sales ol ertilizers, as indicated by the reeipt of privilege tax, disproved the lnims of the cotton association as tc educed acreage. However, another iew of the matter may be taker nd it may he ascribed to the plantig of in? reused a< reage in grain and ther crops that such a volume ol on menial fertilizer was put on the larket. The sales of the year 190-1 vcceded at y previous year by $10.)0 and now the sales for 1905 exeed the sales for the same time ir 904 by $13,043.38. The total mount sold in the year 1904 was 1 18,000 while up to December 13th f this year the sales have been 127,257.78. It is believed that there t another reason for the marked Inrcase in the amount of fertilizer sold, he legislature has required that cot>n seed meal he taxed. It has been ixed before as a fertilizer but not < a food stuff, and a gnat many eople would buy it for food for the he tattle snid would use it for ferlizer. This is what caused the legslature to take action taxing the meal hen bought even for cattle feed, i can hardly be realized that the injme from this tag tax was but $30,00 when it was started 10 years ago nd that it has increased $100,000 a ear. The rate of tax is 25 cents on very ton of commercial fertilizer, he farmers claim that they have to ay the tax. that the 35 cents is Ided into the s( lling price of the manfactored product, but it Is questionale if the doing away with the tax ould get the farmers fertilizers at ny better price. i LOCAL AFFAIRS.

Congressman Flnley is entirely satisl fied with the places that were assigned ^ 1 to members of the South Carolina del- v | egation In making up the house comt mittees. Discussing the matter with t a Washington correspondent of South ^ Carolina papers a few days ago he said: s , "I think I can utter the feeling of t . the delegation when I say that we have all been treated very nicely by Mr. Cannon and Mr. Williams. While we ? cannot, of course, make any very great ? show, on account of the small number of Democrats in the house, we are In a position to take care of the state and I ; the interests of the people in South ' Carolina better than we have ever ( been, or better than I can ever rememJ ber to have been. We have received J , some excellent appointments and they 1 are assignments which will really be of ? some value 10 me peopie ui mc nunc. , "Our two new men, Messrs. Patter; son and Ellerbe, have both received I what I consider excellent places. Mr. ' Ellerbe Is on the committee on lmml* j ' gration and naturalization besides being on the committee on election of 9 1 the president. At this time when the 1 south is so vitally interested In lmml- jc gratlon he will be able to do great 1 good for the state. I really think this ' a good appointment. Then Mr. Patter- d [ so-'s place on the committee on war I ' claims Is of great importance. On the f ! whole I think we have fared very well. ( There Is also Mr. Legare's place on 1 banking and currency. You know c r there is no more Important place on t ' the house side than this committee." j Concerning his selection to the last 1 named committee, Mr. Legare said: 1 > "There Is no use for me to say that I t ; am well satisfied with the places I j have been given. I consider the com- , mittce on banking and currency one of - the most Important In the house. I * am well satisfied." j THE CIRCUIT COURT. J The court of common pleas was en- t 1 gaged In the trial of the case of A. E. v Sutto-i vs. the Catawba power compa- J I ny when the last Issue of The Enqiti- c : rhr went to press. The case was t 1 concluded on Wednesday morning t i with a verdict for the plaintiff In the c i sum of $1,500. Messrs. G. W. S. Hart, t 1 J. S. Price and J. C. Wilborn for plaint- y iff; Messrs. Wilson & Wilson for de; fendant. 1 The next case was that of J. R. Key | vs. the Western Union Telegraph com- s i pany. This was a suit for $1,000 dam- 1; ' ages on account of mental anguish. S ' Key's wife was desperately 111 with 1 consumption and the physicians, de- a ciding they could do no more for her, 1< > I advised him to remove her to the plney f 'I country near Kershaw, her former h 1 home. He did so, remained with her for j a time and then secured a situation In v i one of the Fort Mill cotton mills, d 1 One morning there came a telegram to f J Key, advising him to go to his wife at a once. The telegraph operator at Fort t ' Mill was also agent of the express 0 [ company and the railroad. He had jj i been there only a short time and did not know a great many of the fac- 1' \ tory opt rat Ives. The message came ' , shortly after 8 o'clock in the morning. t The operator telephoned J. T. McGreg- d or, superintendent of the mills, and s asked him as to whether he knew 0 I v I Key. and McGregor said he did not. c ( The train was about due and the h 1 agent gave his attention to the duties ^ | incident to its arrival and departure. 8 Then he called up Mr. McGhee, assis- o tant superintendent. Mr. McGhee knew 8 Key and promised to deliver the message. The message was delivered be- s tween 12 and 1 o'clock. Key imme- a ' diately set out for Rock Hill on foot h a d walked there in about an hour and q a half. He hoped to catch a belated freight. The freight was gone and he c did not get away until the next day. JJ , That was Thursday. His wife died the f( following Sunday. He claimed that if h the message had been delivered '' -- - .. n promptly, he could nave easily gouen i to Rock Hlil in time to catch the train h and would have thus bee i spared a s great deal of mental anguish. The tel- c egraph company insisted that it exer- jj cised all reasonable diligence in the v natter. The Jury found for the plalntPf In the sum of $500. W. B. Wilson, r., for .plaintiff; J. H. Marion for de- w endant. n The next ease taken up was that p, >f Ben Green vs. the Catawba Power w ;onipany. The plaintiff Is a negro aborer who had his leg broken by p he falling of a derrick pole. He a illeged carelessness on the part of y he Catawba Power company and sued t< 'or $5,000 damages. The jury found h or the plaintiff In the sum of $1,250. a 3reen & Hlnes and Thos. F.

The plaintiff Is a ij postal clerk who was injured In the tl kVhisonant trestle wreck, near Cataw)a Junction In September of last year, a The case was tried at the spring term p )f the court, and there was a verdict e< 'or the plaintiff In the sum of 15,000. tl The court set this verdict aside and tl granted a new trial. The first trial )f the case consumed five days, and b )n the assumption that the second tl :rlal would at least take up the bal- si mce of the week, after the Jury was gi impaneled yesterday afternoon, Judge o flydrick excused all the remaining ju- 1 ors from further attendance. The o probability Is that this case will not w je concluded before next Tuesday. w AUDITORS MEAN BUSINES8. n The state convention of county aulitors met In Columbia Wednesday on he Invitation of Comptroller General it rones and discussed the tax assessnent situation. Of the forty-one coun- ri lea in the state, thirty-two were represented. Auditor J. J. Hunter of tl fork, was among those present. The vhole tax assessment question was dls- a :ussed comprehensively, and the audi- h ors made It clear that they not only d snderstood the taxdodger thoroughly a n all his tricks, but they realized his c lablt of laying to get even after having II >een brought to check.

Mr. Frank Sherer of Yorkvllle, n: ustained a severe cut on his right arm di ast Tuesday while he and Mr. Andy w iherer were engaged in butchering a tr log.

Everybody who has been in aI he court house knows the location of . he arc light immediately above the Itsk of the clerk. The light had been living trouble for two nights previ- tb u. ly and the electrician had been ^ working on it during the afternoon reess. Clerk Tate had been called from a' lis place to attend to some business si own in his office and Mr. McDow took he seat vacated by him to look over ome papers. Presently the attention f everybody was attracted by a w hout from Judge Hydrlck to "look at ut." The judge had s en the arc (.| Ight globe drop loose from its insecure upport and his shout was intended as lli warni g. Mr. McDow raised his ci ead only to catch the full force of at he descending globe on his forehead, "he globe broke and cut quite a gash. ar lr.

Suppose I don't come, what m 111 they do to me?" Thl9 question was directed at the reorter on the street the other day by ,n witness who had been brought to e> orkvllle at serious Inconvenience to hj ?8tlfy in a case In which he had no U| iterest. The witness seemed to have bi n Idea that there was no compelling bi W/vUIM/1 ? "l<t aiiknAono tV 'i tr uciiiiiu a ia n j ci a ouupvcuwt ? nd he wanted the matter straightened P! ut. c< The reporter confessed a complete n< ick of accurate Information along the ne of the witness's Inquiry; but promled to Investigate for the benefit of lis witness and the general public. ^ "What Is the process leading up to jr nd Including the Issuance of a sub- ^ oena ticket?" the reporter ask- Y d of an attorney, later in the day, and tie attorney explained the matter like ils: r< "Well, we commence a civil action a) y lodging a summons in the hands of g< tie sheriff, and after the service of this w ummons we apply to the clerk for a n ubpoer.a writ requiring the attendance t( f such witnesses as we may name, 'hen armed with this writ, we make ut separate tickets for each of the ^ itnesses named and sign the tickets j Ith our own names." "Then as a matter of fact there is ^ 0 such thing as a lawyer's subpoena?" "Strictly speaking, no." "Suppose a witness refuses to appear j 1 compliance with the subpoena?" "The judge will Issue a bench war- ^ ant and send the sheriff after him." "The witness, has no discretion In fie matt?r at all?" "Not after he accepts service. If he j ccepts service he must come. If g) owevtr, before he accepts service, he tl emands mileage and one day's pay. (I nd a sum necessary to pay these j harges Is not forthcoming he Is reeved of further responsibility; but nless he makes his demand then and j. fiere he Is estopped from making It j fterward." "But suppose he gets his mileage and day's pay, goes to court and puts in ^ fie dav with no call for his services, , hat then?" "I would say that he has a right to . emand pay for another day, and un- V 'ss the demand Is complied with he ^ an go home," KING'S MOUNTAIN MONUMENT, Jj The following from the Washington a( arrespondence of the Charlotte Ob- a ?rver, sent to that paper under date c, f December 9, will be of especial In- ia -rest throughout this section: tr It will be recalled that Speaker Can- fl on. Gen. Grosvenor and other Repub- ^ can house leaders, who shape all matirs of legislation have put themselves 111 pon record as favorable to the prop- tl sltion to erect a monument at King's ^ lountain battle ground, commemtprave to Gens. Campbell and McDowell, w ol. Shelby and others who partlci- sf ated In that memorable struggle on le 7th of October, 1780. ftj Taking these Republican leadetrs at lelr word, Representative Webb lost ei o time In preparing a bill designed to tl scure an appropriation for this pur- ja ose. The bill seeks the expenditure of 100,000, but provides that the part of tc le sum hereby appropriated shall not dl e so expended until the King's Moun- tl iln Battleground Association of South arolina shall convey not more than [> acres of said battleground to the P1 fnlted States upon which to erect said st ronume'it and which site for said lonument shall be procured without ast to the United States.' The chair- q' tan of the committee, Mr. McCreary T as given Mr. Webb assurance that the n< 111 shall have prompt consideration at . lis session, Last year there was on foot a move- th lent to celebrate the 125th anniversary n< f the battle of King's Mountain and it as hoped that there would be a Joint emonstration by the states of South 8t arolina and North Carolina, but for ce ime reason the matter never came tl ) a head In a way to make It the reat celebration which was deserved, he King's Mountain Centennial Asso- ol lation of York county, which pro- pi loted the work of erecting a monu- tj, lent at the battleground, is said to ave transferred its charter to the a ling's Mountain chapter of the bl aughters of the American Revolution, te ccording to the bill Introduced In con- f rtss by Mr. Webb, It would devolve pon this society or upon some one tl Ise to procure for the Federal govern- tr lent free of cost 100 acres of land.

" m If Judge Hydrlck continues In the tli aurse he has evidently marked out, rid those who know him best say he ^ as never been a quitter, he Is going to so r> a great deal toward breaking up S< lis thing of delaying the business of ^ le court and postponing trials on ac- tu iunt of the tardiness or alleged ab- g< ?nce of witnesses. A case that fully lustrates this fact occurred this week. Upon the call of the case of Key vs. le Western Union Telegraph compay. Mr. J. H. Marlon representing the efendant, announced that while he D ould make no objection to going to lal, he could do so only at a serious Ei nndicap because of the absence of an nportant witness, J. T. McGregor, ' ho had been duly subpoenaed, and SIJ ho had failed to come. Mr. Marlon's atement was about like this: *' "This witness told me that he would m' ot come. He Is at Walterboro. I had fe 1m served by the sheriff there, and ere is proof of service. I still had 1,1 SO ason yesterday (Monday) to think lat he was not coming, and at my pi 1 ? * - J ...141. ih quest me CierK comniumcaieu wiiu ? Im by telephone. He told the clerk m telegraph him a day's pay and mile^e. The clerk offered to guarantee the of nount. He gave us to understand U. lat he would not come." _ Judge Hydrlck asked as to whether te le witness had accepted service be- wl re making demand for his day's pay id mileage and on being advised that ich was the case instructed that a ra i-ch warrant be Issued. ar Sheriff Brown then communicated 1th the witness; but with no better iccess than the clerk. McGregor In aimed that he had been advised by ua CO s counsel that he would not have to ^ me unless his mileage was tendered id ri fused to come. Without further gument Sheriff Brown sent Deputy ^ uinn to Walttrboro with the warrant. qu On yesterday there came a telegram co om McGregor's physician, saying c?' mt McGregor was sick in bed. too un- ^ ell to leave his room. Later Deputy ulnn telegraphed; "Witness sick In d. Wire instructions." and Sheriff rown wired back, "Use your own of dgment." la! Nothing more was heard from Dep- !?' y Qulnn yesterday; but later in the m< ternoon there came telegrams from ne ie physician and from a leading at- 1 mey directed to Judge Hydrick, as- * iring him that McGregor is certainly ( very sick man and cannot be re- { oved from his room without serious i inger. j It was understood this morning that ^ i view of the turn the matter has tak- | i Judge Hydrick will not insist on 1 ivlng the witness brought to Yorkvllle J ntII he is satisfied that he can be ] rought without danger to nis neaun; jt because of the attitude assumed by le witness In the early stage of the roceedlngs, he will certainly have to )me and show cause why he shall at be attached for contempt of court. QUESTION OF SALARY. The Yorkville correspondent of the ews and Courier tells of an interestig development at the meeting of le Methodist quarterly conference In orkvllle. Involving the question of the residing elder's salary. The facts of the case escaped the jporter for The Enquirer completely, t the time but the matter at issue ems to be of sufficient Interest to arrant the publication of a condensed 'production of the story as sent > the News and Courier by Its corispondent. It appears that a controversy has eveloped out of a difference of opln>n as to the salary that should be aid to the presiding elder of the Rock [111 district, that official In the opinion f many of the members of the church ] ow receiving rather more than his 1 hare of pay as compared with the j ay of the average minister of equal bility. < Some years ago, according to the 1 latement as related to the corres- < ondent by a churchman who Is In < lose accord with the facts the district :ewards, after a conference, decided J rnt the presiding elder of this die- | 1ct should have a salary equal to bout $1,200 and necessary expenses ' rid to raise this sum levied an aasesalent on the churches on a basis of iiKn tnr pnph tlhft nnid their res ectlve pastors. As time went on and the churches rew In numbers and strength the fairy of the presiding elder Increased to ( bout $2,000 and expenses, and quite a 'spectable proportion of the memberilp Is beginning to arrive at a conIction that this Is. at least quite 11jral. Each church holds Its quarterly con- j rence, composed of the stewards preded over by the presiding elder, and t the last quarterly conference elects steward to represent It |.i the district inference. This district conference ? charged with the supervision of dlslct affairs generally, including the xLng of the pay of the presiding elder, fid it is understood that at the last leetlng of the quarterly conference of le Yorkville church, there was a pur- 1 ose to elect a district steward who as In favor of a re-adjustment of the liar}' question. By virtue of his office the presiding der presides over quarterly confer- ; ices, and it seems that according to le rules of the church government, It the privilege of the presiding elder > nominate for district steward acanIdate to be elected by the majority of ?e stewards. When the conference ached this stage of the preceedings the ' a1/1am rvha^am/1 t hn name f\t Q CD1UIIIB ClUCi CICI CU Hit UUKiV w? H. eward who was understood to be sinclined to interfere with the salary jestion. The stewards voted no. he presiding elder suggested another iminee of presumably the same tews, with the same result and the ilrd effort turned out In a like man. ;r. It now being apparent that the 1 eward body was disinclined to ac>pt the presiding elder's suggestion, j lat officer expressed himself on the < ibject with some emphasis, and one } ' the stewards suggested that if the . esidlng elder would continue on trough the list, he would surely find nominee who would prove accepts e and who would be promptly elec- 1 d. The presiding elder, however, re- 1 tsed to make any further nomlna- < ons and there was no election of dls- I let steward. f The complication raised a question J hlch, it is understood, is altogether ^ iw, and the issue between the presld- j ig elder and the board of stewards, 1 ill be considered in the state confer- J ice now in session in Spartanburg. LOCAL LAC0NIC3. onstabulary to Bs Returned. Columbia Record, Thursday: "Act- 1 ig under a request from the York ( >unty commissioners and on other I towing made, the governor today ( ?clded to put the constables back In 1 orK county, some time ago no revived a letter from the county comIssioners of that county stating that ' le constables were needed and ofTerg to pay the expenses of two. Unir the law, however, this cannot be )ne." The Enquirer has tried to get ime information about this matter, but enator Brice, who is attorney for the , >ard of county commissioners, knows >thing about any request for a reirn of constables to this county. The meral opinion is that constables are ' no practical benefit in suppressing le sale of liquor anyway. ANOTHER PROTEST. aughter of Confederacy Endorses Position of Rev. 3. H. Hay. litor of The Enquirer: Will you grant me space to add my i-rd of endorsement to each and evety ord written by Rev. S. H. Hay on the ibject of the Richard Carroll lecture7 . I read the astounding proposition 1th a blush of shame, and most artlly do I protest against such a ethod of raising funds for the Conderate monument of York county. Everyone in the south knows that * e monuments erected all over our J uther.i land to the memory of the J mfederate soldiers, have been largely 1 anned and the money raised, through n offnrfu of thp vvnmon Thp mnnn ent In Yorkville was suggested and * eatly aided by a man. but I believe *e entire matter Is now In the hands the Winnie Davis Chapter of the ^ D. C. The contract for the erection of the ' onument has been given out, and I * el sure that this band of loyal women ^ 111 raise the small amount of money U1 needed, without the aid of Richard * trroll, or any other negro. The dear old veterans are leaving us J pidly, the last roll call is fast being iswered to. Death?that grim con- ript officer?Is calling for more and ( 111 more recruits, and one by one hey who wore the grey," are marchg in to that last grand reunion. Let rt i. Oh! men and women of York unty, do nothing that will lower the gnlty of these grand old men. Let the work of the Confederate " onument go rapidly on. The day lien Its shaft proudly rears Its head Heaven's blue dome cannot come too " ilckly. but let not one pebble of Its nstructlon be placed there by pro- ^ eds of a lecture from any representare of the negro race, regardless of ^ Ights to which he has attained. A Dai-ohtpr of the Confederacy. * Hearst Loses.?The New York Court Appeals In a decision handed down 1 st Wednesday In the New York bal- I t box case, sustained the contcn- tl >n of counsel for Mayor George B. f< ;Clellan and denied that of attor- tl ys for Wm. Randolph Hearst and lis colleagues on the Municipal Own>rshlp League ticket The court lolds, as was argued by former :h!6f Justice Parker and his associites, that the courts have no power j; inder the election law to order by nandamus the opening of the ballot loxes and a recount and recanvass of mllots. The case relates directly :o the vote for mayor, comptroller ind president of the board of aldernen cast In the second election district In the sigth assembly district of Slew York county at the election of November 7' last, but It is of the utnost importance in Mr. Hearst's :ontest for the mayoralty of New fork city, and is fundamental in Its jfTeet upon the electoral system of he state under the present election law. The decision was rendered by i divided court, Ave to two. The gist of the majority opinion Is that he courts are "without Dower or au thority to order a recount of the balots cast In the election district" and :hat therefore the candidates defeated )n the face of the returns are "left to such action of law, or otherwise, is may be appropriate wherein to question it, as to the ballots counted without question." The dissenting ludgf s hold that the purpose of the legislature in the election law In commanding the . preservation for six months of the ballots and other documents relating to an election, was manifestly for the purpose of having them available for a recount If this Is not to fce permitted under the present e'ectlon law, they say "a new elce- , tion law cannot be too soon drafted tnd enacted."
