I: p rewentative il-ase Thre.ates in Rteport Trial .lustice Peterson to the Governor. The Herald and News is informed by a correspondent of a remarkable speech made by a Newberry lawyer in a case heard last Saturday! by Trial Justice Peterson, in which a white man was the defendant and a negro the prosecutor, on the charge of threateving to kill, and was being in dicted to give bond to keep the peace. Mr. Frank Bynum represented the State and the Hon. Cole L. Blease the defendant. Mr.!Blease made a motion to quash the indictment, and in the progress of his argument in support of his motion must have been very much wrought up, as our correspondent in forms us that among other things he said "if the Trial Justice did not do as he said he (Mr. Blease) would report him to the members of the House of Representatives, and the Senator from Newberry County, and also to the Hon. B. R. Tillman, Governor of South Carolina." The Trial Justice, we are informed, did not become much af frighted, but this was a rather remark able utterance. Mr. Blease, however, afterwards, we are told made pub.lic apology for this utterance. The case was continued and will probably be settled. WHAT MR. BLEASE SAYS. The Herald and News believes in fair dealing, and in order to give Mr. Blease an opportunity to give his ver sion of the matter, called upon him and asked if he had anything to say in re regard to this speech. In reply to our question Mr. Blease said: "After read ing my points and authorities on mo tion to quash the indictmeut the Trial Justice ruled contrary to law. I quoted much the same law used by Mr. Wes ton in the case of the State vs. Mr. Gonzales before Mr. Muller in Colui bia, the cases being similar. The Trial Justice's decision was contrary to Mr. Muller's." Mr. Blease says that after that deci sion was made he said: "This is one of the greatest pieces of injustice I have ever seen perpetrated, and the unfit ness which you have shown in this case, shows you utterly unqualified for the position you hold, and you should be reported to the Senator and Repre sentatives of this county, in order that they might report you to Gov. Tillman, that this community might have a Trial Justice not only qualified, but who would do his duty and not show the prejudice which you have shown in this case." Then, after the case was disposed of for that day, Mr. Blease says he said: "If the court please, I did not mean to be disrespectful to this or any court. When I referred to you being reported I forgot at the time being of the posi tion that I hold, and it would be im possible for me, or any one else, to ex press the way in which I appreciate those friends who elected me to that position, and no language could be used to express how I thank them in my own soul, and I would do nothing that would be unbecoming in me as a Representative of this county, and in referring to you being reported, I didn't think of myself being onelof these Rep resentatives. Anything that I might have said here which would be unbe coming to me as a Representative I apologize to this court for that, other wise, what I said as attorney for Mr. Boozer, I am personally responsible for and ready to sustain at any time and in any place."

The Jury Givep Verdict Against the Town. An Appeal Taken. The ease against the Town Council Lv the liquor dealers for a repayment of an excess of license, as they claim, men tioned in The Herald and News some time ago came up before Justice May bin last Friday. G:eorge S. Mower, at torney for the town council, interposed an oral demurrer to the-conplaint on two grounds: That the court was with out jurisdiction and the complaint did not state facts suflicient to constitute a cause of action. The argument of this occupied about four hours, but the trial justice decided be had jurisdiction and the complaint was all right, and at 5 o'clock the case went to the jury. After the plaintiffs closed their testimony the the defendent made a motion for non suit, which was refused byJustice May bin. Defendant put up no testimony. After argument by counsel, the jury returned a verdict for plaintitt. This verdict requires the town council to re fund to barrooms SIN each, paid under protest, excess license, as they claimed. rhere are nine har rooms, and this verdict takes $9t0 off the revenue of the town from this source. Thbe attorney for town council gave notice of appeal. The Herald and News gives below the grounds of appeal as filed by the attorney for the council which wili give an idea of the points upon which the town rests its case and also The points raised by the defendants. 1. Because the Trial Justice erred in deciding that he had jurisdiction to try this cause. 2. Because the Trial Justice erred in overruling the demurer of the defendant to the complaint herein that the con plaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. 3. Because the Trial Justice erred in overruling defendant's motion for a nonsuit. 4. Because the Trial Justice erred in refusing to charge the jury as re quested by the defendant that where the charter of a municipal corporation does not prescribe the method or man ner of the exercise of a power it may be exercised by ordinance, by resolution, or by by-law, or by motion. 5. Because the Trial Justice erred in refusing to charge the jury as requested by the defendant that the Town Coun cil of Newberry, if sitting in official session on December, 31, 1590 had the right to fix the price for license issued to the plaintiff's to retail spirituous liquors for the year 1891 by a viva voce vote. 6. Because the Trial Justice erred in charging the jury that "if the town council had fixed the license at $400, by ordinance duly ratified and published, they had no right to ignore that orli nance and increase the license tax, but in order to increase the license tax they should have repealed or amended the said ordinance by another ordi nance." 7. Because the Trial Justice erred in charging the jury that "an oral re solution of the town council adopted by a viva voce vote and not reduced to writing is not an ordinance, .without charging at the same time that such a resolution so passed fixing the price of the license to the plaintiffs to retail spirituous liquors for 1S91 had the same force and effect as a formal written ordinance (under the power to regu late the price of licenses given in the charter of the town of Newberry.)

The Newberry Oil Mill1 In a Prosperous Condition-A Ginnery to be Put In. A n.eeting of the directors of the ewerry Cotton Seed Oil Mill and ertilizer Company was held last Fri ay afternoon to hear the report of the secretary and treasurer and general anager. The season is over and the nill is shut down. It did not 'get start d until the first of January, and many f those interested would have been sat sfied if it had done no more than make xpenses. But the showing made in ~he report of the general manager is hat it has done better than this, and as made some money. It is a credit o the business ability of the manage ent. All parties were inexperienced n the running of cotton seed mills, ad it is gratifying to know that they ave done so well. J. M. Jobhnstone is resident of the mill and L. WV. Floyd general manager. Several of the di ectors are farmers. James Hipp, of Co umbia, who had had some experience in the business, had charge of the run ing of the machinery in the day and W. B. Aull at night. The company as disposed of about all the oil and sold nearly all the fertilizers and meal. 'he directors are considering the ques tion of putting in a ginnery during the summer, and a special meeting of the stockoldeps will be held soon, very rabably, to dlecide the matter defi itely.

Postal Officials Vi,it Newberry and D1eci,1 to Give 's Mail on the C. N. and L. The Laurens Mail Here to Stay. The Herald and News last week has something to say about the need c better mail service on the passelge triins passing Newberry. Congre sman Johnstone, as stated has been in correspondence with th authorities in Washington, and of Tuesday, Second Assistant Postmaster General J. Lowrie Bell, accompaniet by Superintendent of the Railway Mai service, W. S. McGinnis, came to New berry to give the matter his persona attention. He had a conference witl: Mr. Johnstone, and was seen by Tht Herald and News. He is a very pleas I ant gentleman, and talks well, anc 'seems to be well posted in his work and says he is very favorably imwpressed with the development and growth o; this section. He has decided to put a railway pos. tal clerk on the C. N. & L. R. R., at soon as the regular passenger train is put on from Columbia to Clinton, but at present he does not propose to ex tend it on the G. C. & N., beyond Clin ton, because be does not think that the business will warrant it. But as soon as trains are run on that road as far at Athens, Ga., then he will, of course, extend the service on the G., C. & N., road. Mr. Bell assured The Herald and News that the postal clerk now on the Laurens train between Columbia and Laurens would not be discontin ued. He says it is not the policy of the government to curtail any service, but always to increase it. He assured Col. Johnstone that upon his return to Washington he would look into the propriety of establishing a regular mail service on the train on the C. & G.R. R. now run between Columbia and Green ville, and if the appropriations would warrant it be was inclined to look fa vorably upon this additional service also, but at present he could make no definite promise in regard to it. He asked Congressman Johnstone, how ever, to forward him any information, giving an idea of the business done along ibis road. Mr. Bell has under his direction and in his department the railway postal service. The disposition, in fact the assurance, of Mr. Bell to give us better mail service will be gratifying intelli gence to Newberry and other points along the line directly interested. Messrs. Bell and McGinnis left Tues day night for Columbia. The Coming Season Will be a good one for playing Ball. You can find the flest Base-ball goods at the Bookstore. ly.

Mr. French should have remained in New berry a little longer and possibly he would not have left "in disgust." This is the tirst instance we have ever heard of where a man left Newberry "in dis gust." He was hardly here long enough for our people to know what he wanted. They do not rush into every thing that comes along but New berry generally gets there all the same: "Mr. A. E. French has closed his work of numbering the houses, and no city has handsome r numbers. They are an ornament to any house. The system employed is known as the New York System. The city is cut into four sec tions by Main and Church streets, and all the houses are numbered from these streets. The distance allotted to each number is twenty feet, allowing space for houses to be filled in without dis arranging the numbers. Another ad vantage of this arrangement is that when you know the number you know the exact distance from Main or Church streets, and can easily calculate the distance to the Palmetto corner. "Mr. French has done the work thoroughly and it will prove to be a great convenience to our city as soon as our people become familiar with the numbers. "Mr. French is highly pleased with Spartanburg and its people. He says it is the most progressive town he hat seen in the South, and he hopes to re~ turn here next fall and make it hit home. He expects to establish a new and important indlustry and knows nc place which suits him as well as ow city. He says that one thing which he noted especially is that each man goet ahead on his own responsibility with out asking how "Mr. so-and so" will do. That is a true observation.
