FUNNY TALK THIS. What The Herald Has to Say About the J Election. Rock Hill Herald, Saturday. The result of the election in this county shows what a harmful influence the county division issue has had?not in respect to the officials selected, but the prejudice it has aroused unnecessarily and which we fear will be lastiug. For this unfortunate-condition it is believed here that a few men at Yorkville are responsible. We understand there was great rejoicing there among the men who oppose Rock Hill and Eastern York when the result was known. But, while we lament the feelings of unfriendliness toward our city and community, made manifest by the result, we are not at all dispirited or disheartened. At the . proper time that report which some of the gentlemen of the county tried to extort from Mr. Elder and that has disturbed their peaceful dreams tor sometime, will be made public, aDd we repeat dow what we have bad occasion to say before, that it is no secret here that we expect to orgauize u county on the "eastern side" sometime ? in the future. We think we know some things we are sure the agitators do not know, and when the proper time comes for us to move, we shall do so confident we will succeed. The election of an adverse legislative delegation cannot defeat our plans?"the schemes of the conspirators"?as we are amply protected by the constitution, whose requirements we know we must comply with beyond 1 cavil. This precinct sustained Messrs. Elder and Edwards liberally, not because they were the chosen candidates of Rock Hill and Eastern York, but because they were persecuted most un- 1 righteously on pur accouut, and since they are the equals in intelligence and character of any of the candidates for the same offices, we would have been ingrates not to have done so. But we did not draw the line there, for Rock , Hill especially gave Mr. deLoach and , Mr. Witherspoon each a large vote, and really the support the former received here saved him from defeat. We are glad of this and our people are glad, 1 because we esteem Mr. deLoach as a 1 worthy young man of ability. Did Yorkville treat us as well ? Let the cold figures answer. INJUNCTION DISSOLVED. Southern and Seaboard Left Where They Were before the Suit Wa* Brought. Judge Simonton, on Monday, filed his decision in the suit brought by the Port Royal and Augusta railroad ? against the Southern States Freight association, from carrying into effect its proposed reduction of 80 per cent, in freight rates. The decision sets aside the temporary restraining order and ' dismisses the bill. It is likely that the rale cutting will be resumed. The decision is quite lengthy, and ( to publish it in full is impracticable at ( this time. Tbe loilowmg extracts , from it, however, will give a very good , idea as to its scope. j "Ownership in railroads differs , from that in every other species of property. A railroad is, as it were, i public property, and as its first duty < is to the public the owners can refuse j service to none and the charges must 1 be always uniform. In no case can I they go beyond what is just and reasonable, and in its last resort the state or federal courts determine what 1 charges are reasonable." In regard to tbe question of juris- 1 diction, the court says : ' "As to the necessary parties before 1 this court in this case tbe return of tbe 1 Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad company develops the fact that 1 , the Seaboard Air Line i#only the designation of a route or line operated and controlled by two corporations, the Raleigh and Gaston railroad com- . pany and the Seaboard and Roanoke | railroad company?one a corporation ] of the state of North Carolina and the } other of the state of Virginia; that j the Georgia, Carolina and Northern " has leased all of the lines and the t property of these two corporations for a long term of years. The controlling . question, therefore, is, Are these two : corporations necessary parties to this ! % bill? Are their interests inseparable 1 irom loose 01 me ueorgiu, tarunuu , and Northern railroad company? The f K Georgia, Carolina and Northern is under a lease to these two corporations, * which control it without consulting it. , It will be observed, also, that the ground upon which alone relief can be given under this bill is the motive { purpose of this war of rates. "It goes without saying that this court cannot fix rates, cannot inter- j fere in any way in a reduction of rates . brought about in legitimate competition. Only when a reduction is made ! regardless of the road's own interests with a view to destroy and defeat an adversary and crush out competition, the court can interfere. When the ' great powers granted it by the public < for public good are diverted from these purposes and used to gratify personal uuimosity against rivals to the wrong i and injury of the public, the court may interfere. The court should, therefore, < have before it the corporation engaged ' in waging this war of rates. It is not enough to have before it the lessor of ? a road which professes to have no < kuowledge of such motives and purposes. If this case were to proceed and * it should be held that injunction should ] issue, the Georgia, Carolina and Northern company would be restrained from carrying goods at rates fixed by the 1 Seaboard and Roanoke and Raleigh * and Gaston company, its lessees. ! The order of injunction would set 1 aside and abrogate this part of the contract, and, to this extent, would deprive the lessees of the property on lease and the order of injunction would he based on unlawful action ou the purpose of these lessees themselves?not on that of their lessor. Could the court abrogate this lease, 1 annul its terms, deprive those two cor- 1 porations of their property in it on 1 grounds like those without having the ! lessees as parties in the case ? Could j the court investigate the conduct of ( these two lessee corporations, convict ( them of these grave charges and de- ( prive them of their property in their absence ? Can decrees be made against j the Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad company without affecting the rights of the R. & G. and S. & R. ? Are not the interests of the two roads and the Georgia, Carolina and North- eru inseparable? If so, their absence interposes obstacles in the way of the decree that are insuperable. Conclu- j diug, the court says: C "Temptation to enter upon discus- J sion of interesting points is very great; 2 but there seems to be no escape from 5 the conclusion reached. Limited jurisdiction of the court stops us at the threshold. It is ordered that the tern- porary restraining order heretofore in force be dissolved, and that the bill be dismissed, each party paying his own costs." o t u ROCK HILL HAPPENINGS. J a Back From Europe?The Crops?Evans and o Earle?The Enquirer's Election News? n Rock Hill Graded School. ^ Correspondence ot the Yorkville Enquirer. ti Rock Hill, August 31.?Mr. George n W Q1UJ YV Ituerapwu IS UUUIO ngniu uwi n trip to Europe. He not only enjoyed n bis experience; but was much benefitted 8] thereby. a The last annex of the Rock Hill buggy 1 company is showing up well. When this ? is completed, the idea of the company is to complete an average of from 10 to 15 buggies each day. We are having, very probably, exactly the same experience in crops that other sections of our state now have, but it is novel to see so much cotton in August. It looks now, as if the entire crop would be ready for market by October 1st. For a month, the Sabbath school of the rj First Presbyterian church has not met, owing to the'fear of diptheria. This has 8) abated and the school assembled yester- B day morning to prepare for work. ^ There is no doubt as to the feelings of ^ most of our citizens in regard to the last ir primary for the U. S. senatorship. The p defeat of Evans is taken for a sign that the f, method of campaigning so successful of n late years must be changed. There can t( be no doubt that he was defeated by the ^ votes of his former supporters and who C( would have supported him again had he j, placed himself on a high plane in the late campaign. It is hoped that we will nev- jg er have another such campaign, where Q] abuse is given instead of argument, and ? vociferation instead of explanation. It seems that The Enquirer is entitled w to the blue ribbon among the newspapers s as the best gatherer of election reports. ^ The result of the election in York county C) was known fully the next morning after ^ the election, a result due to the efforts of The Enquirer, and one not attained q elsewhere in the state. The next session of the Rock Hill C( Graded school will begin Tuesday, Sep- e| tember 15. The term has been shortened ^ from 40 to 36 weeks. The following is the -p teaching force : Messrs. E. W.

THIS annual variety of Clover, which we have been selling so largely for several years, Is now acknowledged as the farmers' best friend. FIRST?Because it will improve land more cheaply and quickly than by any other means. SECOND?It will produce a crop to graze during the winter months when the land wonla be idle and laying out, a crop which can be cut for green food in the early spring, or for hay in the late spring and leave the ground improved and in nice order for corn, and the land very much improved. THIRD?The nitrogen which the plant absorbs from the air and stores in the roots and plant is the dearest fertilizer to buy, but obtained through this' quick growing plant at a very small cost, it is ready in the soil to be assimilated by the next crop. FOURTH?It will grow well on sandy soil; any good soil is suitable to it Should be sown broadcast at the rate of 15 pounds per acre, anytime from the first of August to the first of November. Best to sow early as can. A Virginia farmer " -? r.T^T*/riAir riT rvvrnr> says, "a erop 01 tminoun v/uu v ux* plowed under is worth as much as thickly spread barnyard manure." We hope our farmers will give this Clover a trial and bring up York county's worn out lands to a high state of cultivation. The feed made will three times pay the expense and your land is improved.
