NEWS AND HEALD WINNSBORO, S. C. J. FRANK FOOSHE C Editor and Proprietor. h t PUBLISHED WEEKLY TERMS, IN ADvANCE: One Year,......................50 Six Months....................... .75 Wednesday, Feb. 14. 1906. There is not mnch danger of t their being a head-on collision with any of the local freights on this division of the Southern these days. For they have about quit running. One or two trips a week each way is about all that they make. It was expected 6bat the vote on the Morgan bill in the senate would be taken yesterday. The only thing certain about it that we can say at this time is that the -vote will be exactly what it would have been had it been taken before the three days de bate omit was had. That dispensary investigating committee has invited Senator Tillman to appear before it aq a witness Friday. As that is the day set for the vote on the rate bill, he has notified the committee that he would be on hand earlier for giving in his testimony. It is needless to say that the same will be awaited with much interest. If he only tells all that he can tell, then there will be some thing told. There is a spirited contest between the eities of Rock Hill and Chester as to which will get the Federal court building to he located in this section of the State. Committees from both cities have visited Washington and presented their claims as to best loca cation, and it cannot be stated at this stage of the contest which, if either. will win out, though Rock Hill, it is thought, is most favored at present. We do not wish to discredit Chester, but a healthier location and better peo ple than there is in Rock Hill will be ard to find. We venture that if the 2 department officiales were to sip of C Chester's limestone water, Rock Hill wo'uld get the court.-Fort M.ll Times. The above is interesting. If this proposition of the location of the new court house is to be settled by the healthiness of the location and the goo'Aiess of the people and the superior quality of .the drinking water, t h e n Winnsboro will have a good ~ showing for getting this much desired plum, for in all three points she is at* least the equal of either Chester er Rock Hill. If the comnmittee is to be influenced altogeth~er by these considera tions, which are not of minor im portance, then let it end this de bate as to Rock Hill or Chester and compromise on Winnsboro, which, if lacking central location, is not wanting in these other F essentials. If. however, centrality of location is to decide this much mooted question, it is justE as well to call a halt and cast the unanimous vote in favor of Ches ter. She is easily ahead of both Rock Hill and Winnsboro on this' score. This is not only true so 1 far as Fairfield is concerned, but is true also of the whole territory ' embraced in the new district. ' HEAVY CRIMINAL DOCKET. Five Murder Cases to be Tried Next t Week. Other Shooting Cases. I The court of general sessions ~ will convene next Monday morn ing with his honor Judge Klugh , presiding. The criminal docket5 for this term of court is a right j heavy one, as there are five murder cases, all the parties ba ing negroes. Andrew Graddick killed Dave Lake at a negro frolic in the , in the Horeb section about - Christmas. Wylie Grafton shot his hunting companion, while they were out hunting about Christmas time in the Allinace section. At a shooting match at Long- 3 town Christmas Robt Murphy 5 shot and killed one Edmunds. ~ Sam Brice will answer for the 1 killing of a negro in the Steven- 1 son section early in December, y his weapon being a big stick- ri Daisy Coleman. who killed e Mamie Williams at the carnival here in Winnsboro the week be fore Christmas, will bc put on trial. There are two other shooting I cases, which did not prove fatal. o Ralph Davis will be tried for t< shooting Amos Gladney from a ambush, and Philip Penn will tl have to answer for the shooting t< of his concubine in the Jenkins- F yille section only a few days ago. h There are a number of assault w and battery cases that will come nl up at this term of court. si Jurors have been drawn for the d: second week of court and are e published elsewhere. No jurors il have yet be n brLwn for the it third week of court, though under a the present arrangement Fair- h field is entitled to a third week e: and it is very probable that this w term will cover the whole of the wV three weeks, as there was little bi done in the court of common ut4 pleas a the fall term of court to ireenbrier Dots. On Friday evening, February r;th, the literary society of the' Ereenbrier graded school will, old its annual public debate. 'he program promises to be in aresting to all. The query for the debate is: Lesolved, that the negro of the :nited States should be colo ized into Liberia. Affirmative: Misses Lucile Cur ee and Minnie McFetridg-. Negative: Miss Bettie Rutland nd Mr. Souter Blair. The music will be furnished by he music club. Admission 10c. On Friday evening last the ime was whiled away very pleas Lutly with an oyster supper at he home of Mrs. Thomas Blair. Quite a nice little sum was real zed. Miss Adelaide Brooks has re urned from a visit to Stone Iountain, Ga. Mrs. J. M. Jennings and chil Iren spent last week with Mrs. J. R. Curee.

A S E A[B'UA '.%\L r10N. 1r. Gknn Says the Catawba Valley Railroad Will be Controlled by the.tl Seaboard. Savs the Yorkville New Era, d )f Saturday. Mr. J. Lvles Glenn, of Cliester,S Ld two other gentlemen have a riven notice that they will short y apply for a charter fo a rail toad to start from Lugoff in : Kershaw county and run to ,atawba Falls and other points c aorth. Mr. G!enn was in Yorkville this week and stated to arepresen-' tative of The New Era that the road to the Falls would be built; at o.;ce. In answer to a question as to whether there was a pro habilitv of the road coming to!, Yorkville, Mr. Glenn said. "It is our iitention to ultimate ly construct the road from Charleston to the point on the Seaboard in North Carolina where the new North and Western rail way, the coal field connection of the Seaboard, connects. If this point is Lincolnton, then our road will run up the Catawba river valley, crossing the South ern at or near Rock Hill. If Shelby should be chosen for the junction of the North and West ern then it is very probable that our route would be through Yorkville. It will be some time yet, however, before the Catawba Fall connection will be extended." Mr. Glenn is one of the division counsel of the Seaboatd and is doubtless in a position to know about the matter. Improving The Pavements. For some time Mayor Ketcbin has had under advisement the matter of impr)ving the pave ments, especially in the business portion of the town. Some citi zens [ave proposed that they will pay half the expense of hav ing tie pavement in front of their storAslpaved, provided the town council will pay the other half. If enough citizens can be induced to join iu a movement of this kiwi, there should be no reason why i could not be made generel all alor the two business blocks. Certaiciy when the town oan get half of the expense borne by individual parties it ought not to be slow in having these inprove ments made. There is nothing that adds more to a town than having its streets clean and in good condition and certainly there is no one so blind as not to recognize the fact that Winns boro suffers very much at t is time on account of the miserable condition of her streets. It is a safe prediction to say that if the pavement in front of any place of business is put in proper shape, as the result of the above pro position, that other business men will not be slow to see the good effects of the improvement and there will b9 others to fall in. Now is the time to get this .workc under way so that when spring comes the work can go right alo ng and be completed during the summer months. It will be a great inavestment on the part of the town to have this great work done and the sooner it is begun, the bei ter it will b3. All together. ror better streets. Letter to T. L. Johnston.

A funny story story comes from le South, where the cynic has! one to spend a few of the cold ays of January. While coursing is way through Georgia he topped off to see an old friend, ud a jiunt through the country ,as the outcome of his visit t happened that this friend was uite pominent in politics in the ':inity, and as they trudged [own the road an old darkey pproached and saluted them :heerfullv.

".Mos, everything." "Well, now, Sam, if we should lect you and a man was brought before yoa charged with commit ing suicide what woild your judg ment be?" This caused Sam some deep meditation, and after a consd rable wait he replied: "Well, under de circumstances, I guess I'd make him support his wife."- -Philadelphia Telegraph. New Restaurant.
