While we sympathize with the good people of Ninety-Six in the recent decision of the United States Supreme court, we congratu. late the law Arm of Messrs. I'arUer A Haynes. worth of Greenville on their success in a case where at first the odds seemed so much against them. They carried it to the court of last resort and won a complete viotory, which means for them a feather in their cap and a big fee in their pocket. The decision will involve many questions * ' between individuals. The tax for the bonds has been stood off for many years, and on the aggregate will amount to large sums. The buyers of lands In that township must iook to the warranty in their titles for protection against the back taxes. Where the seller if unable to make good his warranty the owner of the land must shoulder the loss. In cases where officers of the court, executors or others acting as agent, have sold land the buyers have no protection. They bought with all 'ho onr?nmhrann<>K on the nronertv. and have no warranty against such claims. Pursuant to the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, entitled "An Act to charter the Greenville and Port Royal Railroad Company, approved December 23, 18S2," an election was held on January 2,1886, wbeth' er or not Ninety-Six township should sub scribe the amount of five per cent of the total assessed value of all property in that township in Interest bearing bonds, maturing in twenty years, to the capital stock of the said railroad. The total number of voteB which were cast in that election were 4%. For subscription 377 Against supsclptlon.. 113 Kl"' Majority for subscription 268 In the Fall of 1S86 Treasurer Perrln gave notice that 3% mills on the dollar, or on the thousand dollars of the assessed property In Ninety-Six and Cokesbury townships would be collected to pay taxes on the road. In December, 1887, Treasurer Perrln collected 2% mills in Ninety-Six and 3 mills in Cokesbury to pay interest on the bonds. "In Deoember, 1888, Treasurer Perrln collectv ed 3 mills from Ninety-Six and 3V? mill6 from Cokesbury, to pay interest on bonds. Awaiting decision of the Court, the taxes for that year, 1888, were paid under protest, and afterward refunded to the tax payer, which makes the taxes still due for the years, 1888,1889,1890,1S91, 1^92, 1893, 1S94, ISPo?eight years. Assuming that the average tax would be $8 on the SI,000 of assessed value in Cokesbury and Ninety-Six townships, the back taxes, to - ; say nothing of the penalties or costs that may be incurred, will make a total back tax of on the SI.000 of assessed property. $;-tl >' | _ Who are the Better C'Ihnh? As baa been anticipated a great many of the better class of voters refrained from going to the polls and taking part in the primary.? Charleston Sun. The Press and fanner would like to know ? who compose "the better cIrsb of voters" in Charleston ? ' Are such voters the voters who cast their I ballots for "our candidate ?" Are they that class of voters who vole early rd(1 often? I Do such voters belong to that class of citizens who are too pure and too holy to participate In an election unless they feel assured that their favorite candidate will" be elected? Does it mean that class who sulk and wonl take part? Does it mean that Charleston's "four hundred" reluse to do so vulgar a thing as to vote in the same box, with plain plebeian citizens, who toil and win their daily bread by the sweat of their brows ? Has Charleston recognized "classes"' be tween which distinguishable lines are drawn among white men In politics or elsewhere? Somehow we get tired of hearing of the "better class." If such expression is not an offensive term, we would like to know what ; % It does mean. We have no pat ience with that sort of people who assume to be or boast that they are better than their neighbors. wt- ' AgninHt MlMNionarie*. \Ve notice that a large proportion of the lay delegates at a Methodist meeting were recent ly opposed to foreign missionaries, but thai the cause was not without friends among tinclergy. According to our way of thinking there never was a greater expenditure for less return than for money epent in forelng missions. When people begin to interfere with people's religious convictions they may get Into trouble. We hold up our bands lu holy horror at the cruelties practiced on our missionaries In foreign fields, but If a Mormon missionory comes this way he is lucky If he escapes with his life and a whole hide. We have precious little sympathy for missionaries of any sort that go to Interfere with people's religion. W:' Free School*. " It looks as If the State Convention would go crazy on the subject of free schools and exorbitant taxes to support them. No regard seems 10 be paid to the interests of the property-owning people. Everybody seems to be anxious to conciliate the "poor"' man, with out defining exactly what a "poor" man is But most people can form a pretty correci idea of what a "poor" man is. The word "poor" does not necessarily refer to a man'# wealth, or bi6 lack of money. Es--v.The Convention. It was generally understood that the Convention would bring up the County question again last night, but we learn from Mr. N. <). fyles that the evening was spent in wrang 11 iiif over iur jmjr UI uicuiucis. r luuuj, vy n vote of 67 to 43 It was determined to raise the pay of members from S2 to $4 a day. Tlie Bouils. Hr/" It Is well that the convention decided not to issue bonds to pay oft' the indebtedness of the I various counties. The taxpayers would thus hava au additional burden placed on them without doing any good to any body except a few persons who may work for the county. Convention Proceedings. The people seem to be getting tiled of sc * much Convention news. Let the people bear it a little longer. It will soon be over. Dr. J. I>. Xeel. Dr. J. D. Neel was in town Aionuay. ine Doctor represented this county in the Legislature some years ago, but politics were never congenial to his tastes and he soon abandoned political life and returned to hie first love, that of healing the sick and cultivating his many broad acres. He is too honest and too outspoken to till the requirements of the average politician. He uses his tongue In laying bare the diseases ou the body politic with the same skill that he handles his scalpel in anatomical diseases, and we hope that he will be as successful in the one case as he is, always, in the other. b S Always remember Speed when wanting prescription and other family receipts filled.

I Last Sunday morning a difficult}*occurred > between G. W. Johnson, white, and Morgan Martin, colored, in which the colored roan ! shot thewhite ruan below the left collar bone, j the ball ranging across the body, passing I through the lung and lodging under ihoill Khoulder blade on the right side. Johnson, It issaid.lired several times ?t the negro as be JA ran off. The negro made his escape, and has i,e not been captured, though diligent effort has . I beeu made to tiud him. Both parties to this | u,f difficulty are married men and have families. I no 1 Mr. Johnson llveson his own place, near Mat- j. tox's mill, six miles north of Donalds, and the colored man, Morgan Martin, lives on the land of Miss Ann Taylor, about half-mile' from the home of Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson : is a?ed about fifty-one years. Morgan Martin about twenty-seven years. > The shooting occurred in the public road about seventy yards from Johnson's house, ? where the privato road branches off to his House. Tne negro was wanting siuwij u?i?vu f the road, and Johnson came on behind Mor- ^ gan. Johnson said, "Morgan, I don't want |k you to bother my cows auy more.'' Morgan replied, "I don't want to hear any more about that. 1 am tired of bearing it." ji. At that point the men were walking side by side between the wagon tracks, and as Mor? gan spoke he pushed Johnson from him, and as he pushed him he shot. Johnson fell seriously wounded. The |J ' shooting was done in the presence of Mr. J. \V\ Klrkpatrlck, nephew of Mr. Johnsou. jli , Mr. Kirkpatrick called to some negroes and Mr. Johnson's sons to come to help carry the 10 ' wounded man to the house. Mr. Johnson's wi sons, and Andy Smith, colored, promptly re- c spnnded. Several negroes came to see the pV wounded man, but refused to take any part 1 in removing him to his house. esl Mr. Johnson's sons and A ndy Smith carried pr, 1 him to the house, and Dr. Carlton of Donalds, , and Dr. Hull of Honea Path were Immediate- laI ly sent for, and rendered whatever assistance At i they could. At mlduigbt Monday night Mr. Johnson was doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. The doctor* pro JJ' nounce him in a critical condition. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OK THE TKOUHI.K. Another account is to the effect- that Johnsou's cattle had been allowed to run at large to the annoyance of Morgan Martin; that otl Morgan Martin had tried to fence the cattle - out. but that they still depredated on hlB land and crops: that Martin had once seized some Gc of the cattle and returned them to Johnson, th without charging for the same; that Martin ? and Johnson had had previous trouble about said cattle; that Johnson attached Martin with a stick on Sunday morning, wheu Martin shot his assailant. I.ATEK. The physicians failed to find the bullet yesterday evening. Dr. Carlton says that Jobn- n son is dangerously shot, but was resting easier *I last night. MUST BE PAID, j Lv Ar Tlie IT. S. Supreme Court Decide* That file Xinety Six Towuttliip lionds are Valid nud .Musi Be Ar Paid. Ar Parker & Haynsworth, of this city received Ar a telegram last evening lnlormlnc them that Ar they had won the case of Folsom vs. Ninety- ?v Six township, in which they were counsel for r v plaintiff, a decision of the United States r v supreme court in their favor having been rv hlpri- The case was broueht to enforce the r? payment of bonds issued by Ninety-Six T" township, Abbeville county, to the C. Jv. & Lv W. R. R. It Is virtually the same case as that fv of Floyd vs. Ninety-Six in which Judge Norton decided that townships con Id Dot legally issue bonds. In this Folsom case Lv Judge Slmonton, of the United States circuit Ar . ourt, decided as Judge Norton did. The Ar supreme court reverses him. Ar About ?200,000 of bonds are involved in the Ar <uit.?Greenville News. Washington, Nov. IS,?A slight difference Lv in opinion between the supreme court Ax of the United States and Judge Simonion of the United States circuit court for ^r South Carolina was made manifest today ? when Justice Gray read the answer of the C former body to certain questions propounded 9.' by the court of appeals for the Fourth circuit Vfe in the case of George \V. Folsom vs. Town- * ship 90, county of Abbeville,S. C. Folsom, a resident of Tennessee, sued in the circuit court of South Carolina to recover defaulted interest upon bonds issued by the township in aid of the construction of the Greenville ? ind Port iioyai ranroau ana lor a writ 01 mandamus to compel the county commlsdoners to levy and collect a lax for their payment. A defense was set up that the case was controlled by the State supreme court In the case of Floyd vs. I'errin, and that the plaintiff could not recover. This defense was held to be good by Judge Sim on ton, and the cause went to the court of appeals. That court asked the supreme court to answer these questions: j, 1?Was the circuit coprt bound to follow bet ihe decision of tbe State supreme court in > the case of Floyd vs. Perrin ? j 2?Was the plaintiff entitled to recover ^ upon the bonds and coupons, there having ^b been at the time he came into possession of j, them no adverse decision by the State su- > preme court respecting them ? pr( :i?Whether bonds Issued under acts of Dec. j, 23,1882, and Dec. 24, 1885, constituted valid in- j debtednes6 against the township issuing f>0 them? ah 4?Whether the act of Dec. li), 1887, validated > ihese bonds and made them binding upon aoi Township 90? j The first question, Justice Gray said, the ^ supreme court answered in the negative; the 0f second and third in the affirmative; the 3 fourth was not answered. In ills opinion, the be justice said that the legislature of a State had ia| the power to vest in a township any and all j powers appropriate to that territory to be ; used for the benefit of all the people, and <rr< 1 hat tbe power to issue the botyls in question !)0i came w ithln that scope. pei MG toi WEST END, % I Happenings and Incidents of a Week soi Around the iltr.

Editor Press and Banner: The outlook here is that the Constitutional Convention will adjourn Just in time to take Christmas dinner at home. Some forty or fifty members of the Convention are absent for a few days. , An ordinance postponing the oonvenlng of the Legislature until the second Tuesday In { January. 1S9G, has been passed. < The educational bill is moving slowly. A ] Constitutional three mill tax for educational purposes has received Its third reading. The outlook is that aid for Clemson and I other State Institutions will be left to the dis-1 eretlon of the General Assembly. The Convention contemplates going to the Atlanta Exposition in a body tomorrow week. I Five thousand dollars were the gate receipts | at the State fair thi6 year. Clemson College! had some flne exhibits, such us electric aparatus, canned goods, mechanics tools and dairy ! products. One of Columbia's best known young men who had too much of the "chemically pure," ! Jumped from the middle of the bridge into Congaree river one day last week, but was resi sued by a boatman. l The reception given to the members of the i ' Constitutional Convention last week by citizens was a grand affair. A delegation from Ninety-Six Is here today , in the interest of Ninety-Six county. Also < ' another from Saluda county, asking that a I portion of that county be cut off and united to Ninety-Six or Greenwood county. A farmer ol Clarendon county tell us that * he cleared four hundred dollars this year on Ave acres of tobacco. Mr. Watson, of Edgetield cleared over five thousand dollars this year, so we are informed, on shipment of 1 fruit.** He will plant a hundred acres more of f trees this fall. r The "petrified man" found near the mouth of Saluda river, drew quite a crowd during the State fair. Those who have seen it are under the impression that it is no hoax. ) N. O. Pyles. When Heads Will Fly. Editor of Press and Banner:?We notice that you bad quite a long article in your paper last week on the public school subject f You stated that our lawyers said that we would not talce any action in It, but you are 6&dly mistaken. This is what gave the country to Republicans, by being controlled by certain people. Maryland went Republl* can by an enormous majority on account of Arthur P. Gorman's dictation in attempting to rule the state. New Jersey and Connecticut also added to the list. And that dhows that people will not stand oppression. We claim that the railroad people sending G8 children out of 28? should have representation on the Board of Trustees. And we claim also that the 81 fee charged for the contingent fee is unjust and unlawful, and the law plain* ly states that at the end of each and every scholastic year a new Board of Trustees shall be elected. Instead of electing the trustees at the proper time, the old board held over during the latter part or June, and during July i August, September, October and the first part , of November. The trustees then ordered an election by sending through the town a paper attached to a palmetto lan. The advertisement should have been published two or three wcekR ahead of the election in both of our weekly papers. If we can succeed before Judge Benet we will cut heads right and left.
