I'HE LEDGER. I ^h'arlow S. Carter, j EDITOR AM) MANAGER. SATURDAY, MARCH 18, 181)9. ' The Manning Tillies says one of the best laws enacted in the recent General Assembly was the act to prevent double pay of witnesses in State cases. It has been ascer tained that in every court tnagis- ' trates, eonstno'es and deputies 1 have appeared as witnesses in ' numbers of cases and drew pay 11 for each cas? while at the same N time they are drawing salaries * from the State. Under the newlaw, no officer drawing pay from ' the State either salary or per ' diem shad receive pay as a wit- ' ness. The same law applies to 1 town officials also. This will have the etl'ect of saving money to the ( counties and it will also see fewer ( officials on the witness stand. 1 ? , < A petition has been sent from ' Greenville to have the dispensa- }l ries t.lieie closed until the soldiers * camped there are all mustered !l out. The petition was started by temperance people, and signed by 1 city and countv officials in fact, ' J by almost everybody that was 1 asked to siipi it, it is said. Hut :l why should an institution that ' prevents drunknncss he suspended ' at the very time when there is 1 most danger of drunkenness?? * Chester Lantern. | ^ c The penitentiary investigation i's committee is getting along hand- | ' soinelv. There is no white-wash- I'1 ing business this time. It would : 1 bo :i good idea, we think, if the general assembly at its next session, would put this same eommit- 1 tee to wot k on the earlier years of the dispensary management, and on the bond refunding deal. ' There are things in connection with both of these matters that are not exactly clear, and this committee could, no doubt, give the situation a wholesome shaking c up.?Yorkville Kmpiirer. I !j , rM ! a It would not be fair to com- ? ment on the penitentiary scandal ' | at Coumhia until the investigation < is ended, but the facts so far as ' ascertained show that the General Assembly knew what it was do in?x when it elected ;i new superintendent for that institution. There was a good deal of talk j about Col. Neal and his accounts more than a year n<*o, and an in i vestio.it ion should have been made thin. It would have saved j the State from possible loss and relieved Col. Neal of at least a I part of his present embarrass- j ment News and Courier. ; ( There was an investigation and the committee reported every- i thine in -rood shape. The state- i , ments of Col.

Plarter*. * %. Broken on a Wheel. Yorkvillo Enquirer. A negro hoy named William Henry Wilson and aged 12 or 14 years, met with a tragic deaUi on the streets of Yorkvillo last Saturday afternoon, as the result of a foolhardy boyish prank, j It seems that the hoy had been , I in the habit of occasionally bra cing himself within a wagon wheel, head between spokes and feet pressed against the felloe, while with his hands ho held wherever, there was a most convenient place to hold. While the big tank wagon of iL - Oi ' v mo ouinuaru i?ii com puny wus standing before the store of 11. T. Grist & Co., the boy evidently made tip his mind that it furnished the very opportunity for the exercise of his favorite gymnastics, and as the wagon started off he adjusted himself to one of the wheels. At the first revolution of the wheel tsere happened an accident. The boy's head struck against a foot board or something, and he fell to the ground. Blood gushed from his nose and mouth, . and within less than five minutes he was dead. Coroner Brian made a prolimi nary investigation of the incident i I and came to the conclusion that no ' in<[uest was necessary. The boy | was from Chester. lie had been ^ in Yorkvillc only about a week. Supreme Court Decision. The supreme court, through Justice Dope, handed down a dej cision in an interesting case yester day. Mrs. Lena K. Joye had | brought suit for recovery of #1,' 000 face valuo of policy on property destroyed by tire. The policy . was in the South Carolina Mutual Insurance company, and in the ' policy it is stated that this being 1 a mutual insurance company, the policyholders should bo governed by the by-laws of the concern. Mrs. Joye allowed an asscss> merit to lapse. Before she could pay it and be reinstated her prop erty was destroyed by fire. One of the by-laws stated that m such u case the loss must not be paid. The supreme court sustained the , circuit court, which decided against Mrs. Joye. i THE SKCON D REGIM ENT. It \\ ill Probably be Mustered Out in Savannah. !
