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?? *

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

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. Neal himself now ;
show that he was short a year ago
some t?*n thousand dollars, and '
that he has appropriated to his ;

year that lie lias been mperinton ^

The negroes wore awaiting trial

Idle negroes began begging for'

The greatest excitement prevails,
s ?arly everybody was awakened

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.

that the Second Kegiment will he

regiment with other Southern
troops has hecn ordered to that
city and it is expected that thev
will reach there within a few
weeks. The government intends
to get all the volunteers hack
