Cochran of New York, yesterday accepted
an invitation unique in this
city, if not in the rest of the country.
The Democratic orator paid his respects
to Frank J. Loeseh, special state's
attorney conducting the grand jury investigation
of primary election frauds,
and was asked to speak a few words
to the members of the grand jury.
Primaries." said Mr. Cochran, addressing
the inquisitors, "have come to be
looked upon as so legitimately the
trade of those who would perpetrate
fraud that whenever anything is fraudulent
it has become a by-word to call
It 'crooked as a primary.' Election
frauds have become so general in their
nature that no longer is it necessary
for a master mind to direct their operation.
but every district politician believes
that unless he carries his district
by fraud he has not sufficiently
shown his political fervor." In closing
Mr. Cochran declared that the primary
is the foundation of the elective system
and that he did not know that Chicago
was any worse off than other
cities. He congratulated the jurors in

together with about 200 gallons of
beer. This was within aboir 100 yards
of Jones' house and there was a well
defined path leading: from the plant to
the house. They also made a search
of the premises of Ben Hudgens, near
where Special Officers McGaha and Mc
Gravy destroyed a distillery a few days
ago. They found under the bed in Hudgens'
house seven kegs and eleven
jugs, which had contained whisky,
and also a small quantity of whisky,
which they destroyed. They secured
abundant evidence that both Jones and
Hudgens had been dealing in contraband
whisky, and these men will
doubtless be prosecuted by the North

? Roanoke. Va.. special of November
21, to Charlotte Observer: Ever since
the verdict of "not guilty" was rendered
Tuesday in the case charging
Or. W. S. Gregory, a wealthy Roanoke
dentist, with an attempt at criminal
assault on a chloroformed patient in
his office, there have been open and
caustic adverse expressions or. the result
of the trial on all sides. There
have been many stories that leading
business men would wait on Gregory
and tell him he must get out of town.
Other rumors are that a mass meeting
will be "called at which citizens
will express their indignation and call
<>n the dentist to leave Roanoke. A
party of negroes last night waited on
Lee Martin, the colored assistant to
Gregory and chief witness for the defense
at the recent trial, and warned
him to leave the city. He made his
departure early today. That Gregory
is considered an undesirable citizen
appears to be the view of a large percentage
of the people, if open street
talk counts for anything. It is said
that Martin has. since the trial, been
shoved off the sidewalks on a number
of occasions by negroes. In the meantime
Gregory continues to pursue the
even tenor of his way. Gregory's allocrAil

? Cleveland. O.. November 22: United
States Judge Tayler yesterday granted
an injunction against the American
Telephone and Telegraph company
(Bell long distance system) and the
Central Union Telephone company
(Bell company operating in Ohio. Indiana
and Illinois), restraining them
from interfering with the business of
the independent companies operating
in those and adjoining states. The injunction
was asked for in a suit by
the United States Telephone company,
which is the independent long distance
telephone company operating in Ohio
and adjoining states. It is charged
that the Bell, as shown by their official
reports, is buying independent exchanges
or selling Bell exchanges
where there are competing companies,
and in some instances absorbing independent
companies, by merger and consolidation.
or division of territory so
as to eliminate competition and establish
a complete Bell control, in violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law, and
, of the laws of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois
and other states where the companies
operate. The bill says that the original
value placed upon the Bell patents in
1S7S was $400,000 and a year later increased
to $050,000. A year later the
value of the same property, as represented
by the capital stock, was in<
reused from $\5t),ono to $6,500,000, or
nearly S00 to 1. In 1!?00 the capital
stock had been increased to $25,000,000
and in April of that year the present
American Telephone and Telegraph
company took over the Bell patents
from the old company and issued two
shares of its stock for each share of
the old stock. The capital has since
heen increased to $2">0,000,0o0. The bill
charges that they devoted these enormous
pro tits to paying exorbitant dividends
and in acquiring control of competitive
properties in order to suppress
competition. They are charged with
issuing many times the original cost of
the stock in stock dividends and paying
at times 1$ per cent, a year in dividends.
It is shown that they own and
control many local telephone companies
and companies manufacturing telephone
apparatus. It is charged that
when competition began, the Bell com
panics adopted the policy of starting
competing exchanges and operated
them at ruinous rates, in many instances
giving free service: bringing
suits on patent claims: threatening independent
companies with financial
ruin, and of destruction of their plants.
It is said that in some instances the
independent companies were driven out
of business and their equipment burned
in public, wide publicity being given
as a warning to other investors
who might dare to invade the fields
of the Bell monopoly.

? Abbeville special of November 20
to Columbia State: The South Carolina
division of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, will hold its annual
meeting in Abbeville on December
1-3. Great preparations are now
in progress for the meeting, which is
being looked forward to with a great
deal of interest and pleasure by the
local chapter here. About 100 dele
Kates are expected irom ine various
chapters in tlie state, but some have

? Columbia special of October 23, to
the News and Courier: C*. C. Featherstone,
one time pronibition candidate
for governor and likely to run next
time, here today representing the prohibitionists
of his home county of Laurens
in the contest before the state
board of canvassers, engaged in a fist
fight in the secretary of state's office
this afternoon with Attorney C. P.
Sims of Spartanburg, representing the
Laurens dispensary advocates before
the board. In the breakaway Featherstone
came out with a black eye and
his shirt rumpled and soiled and Sims
had the marks of Featherstone's finger
nails on his cheek and was slightly
bloody. Featherstone was knocked
half way the length of the room by
Sims. The trouble began by Sims'
sarcastic comment that the Laurens
prohibitionists, in their zeal to get the
dispensaries out. were showing a reckless
disregard for the truth in their
statements. Mr. Featherstone jumped
to his feet and called on the board to
have the argument confined to the record.
Sims told Featherstone he'd see
him outside. Featherstone said he
wanted the seeing to bike place instantly.
This brought on more angry
words with the result that Sims struck
Featherstone. Friends parted the two
men and Mr. Featherstone apologized
to the hoard.
The Case of C. P. Milller.
Columbia special of November 20,
to Charlotte Observer: The hearing
before Insurance Commissioner MoMaster
this afternoon in the action of
Charles P. Miller against the American
Surety company to have the commissioner
revoke the company's license
to do business in this state on
tlie grounds that it canceled his bond
as agent for the Southern at Fort Mill
last February, because of testimony
Miller gave against the surety company
in a case at Laurens several
years ago, turned out a stiff and energetic
boomerang for Miller and the
complete vindication of the surety
company. Miller made no attempt to
vindicate himself or explain any of
the various serious charges against
him. putting up no evidence. His attorneys
were taken by surprise and
could do nothing for him. At the
conclusion of the hearing Mr. McMaster
promptly rendered his decision in
writing that there was "no evidence
to support the complaint of the said
('. P. Miller, but that there were good
and sufficient reasons why the American
Surety company should have declined
to remain on his bond. Therefore
the rule is dismissed." The surety
company introduced evidence to
show a long chain of misdeeds on the
part of Miller, who is the son of a
prominent banker of Florence and
highly connected through the state;
beginning with his seduction of a girl
of respectable parentage in Charleston
seventeen years ago under prom
tse oi marriage, ui'mtuiib iu? ?nc unu
child after an alleged military marriage
and refusing to contribute to
their support. To support this records
from the supreme court, carrying
all the testimony in the case, were
introduced. Postoltice inspectors' reports
were also introduced to show
that Miller, while in the service, forged
a commission and was dismsised. It
was al so charged that he padded his
payrolls and falsified his hank records
while working for the railroad at Laurens.
The surety company, it was
claimed, never actually bonded Miller,
merely issuing him temporary protection
and immediately cutting loose
from him on investigation of his record.

The next regular meeting of the
York County Farmers' Union is to be
held in Yorkville on Thursday, December
3. As court will be in session at
that time, it will be necessary to secure
some other room than the court
house for the meeting. Among the important
items of business are. the
annual election of officers and the
awarding of the corn prizes. It is expected
that the attendance on the meeting
will be quite full and the proceedings
will take up a good portion of the
day.
The demand for seed wheat continues.
Local dealers say they have
known nothing like it for years. Very
few farmers are preparing to put in a
large acreage. Most of them have
been buying only a few bushels and
many are content with a single bushel.
Hut in the aggregate, the acreage will
be large. There is a pretty general
belief that there has been some kind
of a change in climatic or other conditions
that make wheat growing more
hazardous than formerly; but there
are many level-headed old farmers
who have no share in this belief. '"Use
good land." they say, "and give as
much labor in the preparation as for
cotton, and the wheat will come."

followed after a distressing illness of
something more than a week. Little
"Thomas F." as he was familiarly
known to the local public, was the oldest
child of his parents and passed his
seventh birthday on the 10th day of
last month. He was a bright, sweetfaced.
manly little fellow, and was not
only idolized by his father and mother,
but a general favorite in the town. The
funeral took place yesterday afternoon
from the Presbyterian church, the services,
which were largely attended, being
conducted by Rev. E. E. Gillespie,
the pastor. As a mark of respect to
Mr. McI)ow, who is a prominent member
of the York county bar, and in order
to allow his fellow attorneys and
the court officials an opportunity to

Xews and Courier. Saturday: Mayor
John R. Hart of Yorkville, was in |
Charleston yesterday, ho came nere
for the purpose of persuading the
trustees of the Episcopal Church orphanage
that Yorkville was the best
place in South Carolina at which to
locate that worthy institution. He
succeeded. It's a way he has. You
see. he believes so thoroughly in Yorkville,
in the advantages which It possesses
and in the opportunities which
it offers, and he sets forth his reason
for the faith that is in him so earnestly
and so eloquently that it would
be impossible for him not to make an
impression upon the people he rubs
up against. Mayor Hart declares that
the orphanage will, when it is removed
to Yorkville, he still in the midst
of friends. And it will. Yorkville is
a good town. No better people may
be found anywhere. Mayor Hart has
gotten out an attractive little folder,
in which are set forth strikingly, a
number of reasons why Yorkville is a
fine town in which to live. It is a
most convincing document. It seems
a pity, though, that he should have
left out the statement that they grow
there the best Scotch Presbyterians in
the world and make mayonnaise dressing
which is so thick that one has to
cut it with a knife.
THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.
Following are the developments in
the speculative market yesterday as
reviewed in an Associated Press dispatch
of last night from New York:
The cotton market was nervous and
irregular today with trading rather less
active and the close steady, net 4 points
lower to 5 points higher. Sales were
estimated at 250,000 bales.
The market opened steady at a decline
of 1 to fi points on the more active
months in response to lower cables
than expected and liquidation by near
month shorts who were evidently
alarmed by reports that cotton could
be brought here profitably for delivery
on contract. July and October opened
net unchanged in the absence of important
offerings but after the opening
the general market acted quite unsettled
and January was particularly weak,
selling off to a net loss of 8 points
under local bear pressure and liquidation
by longs. There was a good demand
at the decline, especially for the
later months from Wall street and
other outside sources, December maintained
its premium, and while there
seemed to be no fresh bullish development
in the general news, the market
became decidedly firmer during the afternoon
with March, May and July
making new high records for the season
and the general list showing a net
advance of 2 to 9 points. At 9.38 for
December, however, one of the large
local spot houses began selling that position.
believed to be against cotton to
be shipped here from Texas, and the
mantel easeu uu in iruiiBrqunitc, tinning
all the way from 3 to 9 points below
the best. A good deal of the business
represented undoing of straddles
between near and late positions.
Receipts at the ports today 63,850
bales against 61,156 last week and 54,293
last year. For the week 400,000
against 405,493 last week and 335,890
last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans
11,015 against 17,826 last year,
and at Houston 18,849 against 7,435
last year.
THE EPISCOPAL ORPHANAGE.
It is proposed to locate the orphanage
of the Episcopal church of South
Carolina in Yorkvllle, and the King's
Mountain Military school property is
to be used for the purpose, according
to the News and Courier of last Saturday.
The information in the News
and Courier, which is more complete in
detail than has been obtainable from
any other source, is as follows:
At a meeting of the trustees of the
Church Home and Orphanage of the
diocese of the Episcopal Church in
South Carolina, held yesterday afternoon
at St. Michael's Parish House, it
was decided to remove the orphanage
from Charleston to Yorkville. The
Diocesan Home for the old ladies of
the church will be retained here. All
of the trustees were present at the
meeting yesterday, with the exception
of one, who was detained by unavoidable
circumstances. Bishop Guerry,
who is president of the board, presided
and the deepest interest was taken by
ail present in the matter undeV consideration.
It will be recalled that the trustees
have had under consideration for some
tution from Charleston to some other
time the possible removal of the instipoint.
Many things, however, conspired
to make it a matter of grave thought
as to leaving Charleston, where the
institution had been so long established;
and it was felt that this should
oniy be justified by flattering offers
elsewhere and by the welfare of the
institution.
A sub-committee had been appointed
for the purpose, and during the past
six months made the contemplated action
more or less public through the
newspapers of the state: so as to let
it be known that the matter was under
consideration. They received propositions
from several points in South
Carolina, notably Columbia, Winnsboro,
Rion, Spartanburg, Greenville, Greenwood
and Yorkville. All these propositions
came voluntarily to the committee,
who in no case took the initiative
or canvassed for offers, but merely
waited and received them.
Mr. Manning and the Rev. Mr. Porch er
at great inconvenience and with an
unselfish devotion, visited all of these
places. Several of the offers were attractive,
but the one from Yorkville so
greatly commended itself that the committee
recommended it to the board of
trustees.
Briefly stated, it appears that Yorkville
was prepared to offer the site of
the old King's Mountain Military academy.
with its fine buildings and some
eleven acres of land, and also an endowment
of $4,000, which was guaranteed
by Mr. W. B. Moore of that
city; and the city council of Yorkville
supplemented this with free light, water
and sewerage for ten years, and in
addition to this the physicians of Yorkville
agreed to give free medical attention.
It is believed this offer represents
a money value of nearly $30,000,
besides the annual contribution of the
city in water and lights.
It was stated also that at a reasonable
price some 25 or 30 acres of
land adjoining the property could he
obtained.
The considerations for and against
the removal from Charleston were carefully
presented, it being realized that
it was no light matter to determine
upon the removal of the institution.
At the same time the offer of Yorkville
was so flattering and the future growth
and expansion of the institutfon seem- i
ed so full of* hope and promise, that
tlie trustees did not see their way-clear
to reject the proposal. A resolution
was accordingly adopted accepting the
offer and providing for the removal of
the orphanage from Charleston to that
place.
It should be mentioned, however,
that the work of this organization, the
Church Home, is two-fold, it having a
diocesan orphanage for children, and
also a diocesan home for the old la- <
dies of the church. The trustees deem- ;
ed it advisable to retain the latter
branch of the institution in Charleston:
and to suitably provide with build- i
ings and otherwise, for this equally i
important part of their work. Some j
of the trustees, in conversation stated, i
that while, of course, the removal of
the orphanage from Charleston was regrettable,
still taking into considera- i
tion the Yorkville offer, and their own ]
sense of responsibility, and looking <
carefully and alone to the future of the I
work, they felt compelled to take the |
course adopted. Besides this, the older I
part of the institution, the Diocesan i
Home for the ladies of the Church, will 1
be re-established on new and active '
lines in Charleston. It was, therefore, i
confidently hoped that the step de- ;
termined on would insure the more 1
successful future of the church home, i
and a wider and more useful existence.
The trustees commend the work to the <
diocese at large, and also to its many >
friends of other households of faith,
both of which classes have so generously
aided It In the past.
A committee of five was appointed to
take the necessary steps for carrying
the resolutions into effect. It may be
of interest: to give the names of the
gentlemen who compose the board of
trustees of the church home. They are:
Right Rev. Wtn. A. (luerry. R. D., president;
the Revs. O. T. Porcher, Win.
P. Witsell, A. S. Thomas, S. Carey
Reckwith; Mrs. S. A. Conner and
Messrs. Richard I. Manning, Wm. Bird,
Thomas Pineknev. Wm. H. Barnwell,
1'. T. Hayne. H. P. Duval), A. M. Lee.
All of these were present except Mr.
Witsell, who was, much to his regret,
unavoidably detained.
Among other offers made to the committee,
Winnsboro promised $2,500 in
cash: Rion some 75 acres of land;
Spartanburg a tract of 35 acres belonging
to Mr. Cleveland: Greenwood 75
acres of land, or $4,000 if the institution
were located within four miles of
the court house; Greenville also made
a very generous proposition, a beautiful
site of 30 acres on the street car line,
between the city and Paris Mountain,
una u,..nu to .-.mi in naoh
Hut while all these were generous
and appreciated, the offer of Yorkville
spoke too loudly to be disregarded. For
many reasons, it Is believed the choice
Is a wise one.
THE CIRCUIT COURT.
The fall term of the circuit court for
York county convened in Yorkville
yesterday morning, Hon. D. E. Hydrick,
presiding. Solicitor J. K. Henry representing
the State. Stenographer H. I.
McCaw taking the testimony, and the
various county court officials at their
respective posts.
Of the thirty-six petit jurors drawn,
some were not found, and after excuses
were disposed of. twenty-eight
were available for duty. An extra venire
of twelve names was drawn from
the five-mile box with which to fill out
the shortage of eight.
The following eight jurors were
served to complete the venire: P. S.
Thomasson, J. H. Neil, L. G. Raber,
Andy Sturgis, J. W. Dobson, J. B.
Scott, R. F. Smith. John Lowry.
The feature of the morning session
yesterday after the completion of the
venires, was Judge Hydrick's charge to
the grand jury. Notwithstanding that
this is the third and last term of all
the members of that body, except the
six who will hold over next year. Ills
honor has been making it a rule to
particularly instruct the grand jurors
of the various counties as to matters
that he thinks are of especial importance,
and all these things were
pretty thoroughly covered.
By way of entering into the subject,
his honor said that he had had frequent
occasion to note that many grand
jurors are without a comprehensive understanding
of the requirement of their
oaths. Because the oath is usually administered
in full to the foreman only,
some of the other members take up the
idea that it does not apply to them as
well. As a matter of fact, each grand
Juryman takes the same oath that is
administered to the foreman and it is
equally binding on all.
Repeating the oath in substance, he
pointed out as the principal requirements
of it that the grand jury was
bound to present all infractions of law,
peace, good order, public morality, etc.,
without fear or favor, and that it
was not to be influenced to withhold
presentments for reward or hope of
reward. Also it is bound to guard the
developments of the grand Jury room
in absolute secrecy, divulging nothing
to outsiders, either while the investigations
are in progress or at any future
time.
He explained in detail what was
meant by the phrases "fear or favor,
reward or hope of reward." He did not
believe that a South Carolina juror
could be bribed or bought. Of course,
such a thing may have been done; but
when it has occurred, it has been a
rare exception of the kind that proves
the rule. If a grand Juryman should
be influenced to withhold a presentment
because of the prominence or in
Huence of the accused, that was to be
taken as a lack of moral courage on
the part of the juryman. The juryman
should not be deterred by public sentiment
from doing lhat which he knows
to be right. Personal feelings, or passions
have no place in the grand jury
room.
As to whether there is any reason
for the maintenance of secrecy in the
grand jury room makes no difference
so far as the grand juror's oath is concemed.
Put there are. good reasons.
Suppose a responsible and influential
citizen is suspected of crime. The suspicion
may not be general and there
may be an absence of convincing facts
upon which to base it. Put still there
may be enough cloud to warrant a
doubt. In such a case, it is proper that
the grand jury make a thorough investigation.
It can only do so by the examination
of witnesses. After those
witnesses have told all they know,
there may not be enough evidence.to
warrant a true bill and under these circumstances
the witnesses are entitled
to protection. The grand Jurors therefore
should guard against allowing
themselves to be [ticked as to *what
did nr did not do.
In connection with the fear or favor
idea of the grand juror's oath, his honor
took occasion to express himself
very emphatically on the common tendency
of allowing prominent and influential
offenders to go unwhipt of juslice
while the less powerful and more
humble offenders were held to strict
account. This he illustrated by referring
to the familiar case of the negro
crap shooters" who are hunted in
the highways and byways, arrested,
hauled into court and punished, while
the town may be notoriously full of
influential white gamblers who break
the law with impunity and with whom
the police do not think of interfering.
In the face of conditions like these, he
said, effective enforcement of the law
is impossible, as there Is probably no
other one thing that so weakens the
machinery of the courts as flagrant
inequality and injustice in the enforcement
of the laws.
Referring to the fact that the papers
of Sunday morning reported three homicides
in South Carolina, his honor took
up tiie crime of murder. If there is
one crime above another that is a
stain on this southland of ours, it Is
blood-guiltiness. And what are you
going to do about this thing of taking
human life, gentlemen? Are you satisfied
with this condition? The responsibility
is with you and the petit
jurors. All the lawyers in South Carolina
cannot acquit a guilty man. It
is the duty of the lawyer to see that
his client has a fair and impartial trial
and that his case Is presented to the
jury in the best Hght that is possible:
but no innocent man is ever convicted
and no guilty man is ever acquitted
except for want of intelligence or integrity
on the part of the petit jury
that tries the case. It has been said
tlint we have as good government as
we deserve. I have wondered at this
statement a little: but it is true. In a
republican form of government, a government
in which the people govern
themselves, the people can have anything
they want. If you want good
schools, you can get them; and if you
haven't got good roads it is because
you do not want them. And so it is
with the laws. If you want the laws
enforced you can do it, and you can do
as much in the way of securing: a firstclass
administration through the jury
hi>x as you can through the ballot box.
Next, Judge Hyd rick took up a prevalent
practice of talking to jurors during
the progress of a trial. He said he
had been to places where trial juries
were surrounded by friends of both
sides as soon as they came down from
the court room at the first recess. Suppose
you had a case before me and
knew of the fact that the party on the
other side was talking to me about it,
you would not have much hope as to
the outcome, would you? And you
would not have much respect for or
confidence in me would you? Well, the
man who undertakes to talk to you
about a case during its progress has
not got much confidence in you. And
you should not allow anything of the (
kind. No man should talk to you |
about a case, nor talk about it in your
presence. To illustrate how this kind
>f thing is sometimes gotten at. his
honor t ?ld of an incident where two '
parties interested in a case, tried to
talk about it over a juror who was sitting
in a barber's chair. The juror
was an honest man: but did not know
what his rights were, or how to pro- j
tect himself. It is highly improper for ,
tnv juror to allow anybody to talk to |
him abo?it any case that is on trial or
to be tried.
Recurring again to the matter of
iheddlng human blood. Judge Hvdrick
said that we had been taught that the i
way to settle a quarrel was to fight
and that the man who would not fight
Is a coward. The sentiment Is that if
a man strikes you in anger you must
kill him. We may delude ourselves into
thinking that we can sow one kind
of seed and harvest another kind of
fruit, but the Scriptures tell us that as
we sow we must also reap and in this
ease the harvest is necessarily assault
and battery of a high ami aggravated
nature, assault and battery with intent
to kill and murder. If you run to keep
from killing a man you may be called
a coward. You would not like to be
called a coward. I would not fancy
being put in such a position. I know
a man, however, who killed a man
rather than run. He thought he had
it to do. He was acquitted; but I have
heard him say more than once since
that he wishes he had run, and he is
no coward either. Just as long as you
have men who say it is cowardly to
run to keep from taking life, you will
continue to have unnecessary murders.
Judge Hydiick then showed how
lawbreaking was largely the result of
training. It is sad to set- the small boy
pooping firecrackers against the town
ordinance. There is nothing wrong)
in popping firecrackers; but the violation
of the law is a serious thing. Later
we see 1dm killing birds in viola
lion oj me game laws. i ne Killing 01
the birds does not amount to much?
that is a small thing: but the violation
of the law is a big thing. These violations
lead to other violations, and the
more broken laws we have the more
serious the situation.
The observance of law, his honor
said, is a matter of training. The boy
who is trained to obey the law from a
sense of love and respect, will make a
good citizen. I would not think much
of a son who obeyed me only from fear.
But still there are those who cannot be
brought to observe the law from respect
and they should be punished and
made to fear it.
Referring to the question of investigating
the books of the county offices,
his honor said that there should be a
state examiner to look after this matter
under the direction of the governor
or comptroller general. Most of the
county officials, his honor said, are
honest and desirous of doing their
whole duty. When they get into trouble,
it is usually because of ignorance.
They make a mistake and cover it
up. But it is impracticable for grand
juries to make satisfactory examinations
of these books. I venture that if
you will look up the records in the
cases of the few county officers in this
state who have from time to time gone
wrong, you will find that each and every
grand jury report for a number of
preceding terms will contain a statement
to the effect that "we have examined
the books of the various county
officers and found them correct." If
we had a competent state officer to
look after these things, we would not
have so much trouble.
After concluding his general remarks,
of which the foregoing is only, a summary,
his honor proceeded to give specific
instructions as to various bills of
indictments that had been prepared by
the solicitor, and taking these bills the
grand jury retired.
The first case taken up was that of
the State against Henry Sims,
charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill. The defendant plead
guilty of aggravated assault, and the
court imoosed a sentence of one year
on the ohaingang or a fine of $sno
Waddell Castles, alias Wood Castles,
was tried on the charge of burglary
and larcenv and acquitted.
Buster Ray. charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill, plead
guilty of assault of an aggravated nature.
and was sentenced to $50 or six
months.
Rnfus' Anderson, the negro who killed
Tom Hafner. also colored, near
Yorkville recently, was allowed to
nlend guilty of manslaughter and he
was sentenced to twenty years in. the
penitentiary.
The business of court has been
dragging along very slowly this morning
owing largely to the unavoidable
absence of Mr. MeDow. who represents
the defendants in several of the cases
that would have otherwise been taken
up.
The case against Mason Estes,
charged with selling liquor, was nol
prossed on payment of the statutory
fine of $100.
Marshall Melton, a white man. plead
guilty to giand larceny, stealing from
his brother, and was sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary.
In the case of Henry Massey. charged
with housebreaking and larceny, the
solicitor consented to a verdict of not
guilty.
The grand jury has been quite busy
vesterday and today, and will hardly
be discharged before tomorrow.

Died on the Chaingang.
A negro convict named Sam Rippy
serving: on the chaingang for selling
liquor, died suddenly last Friday night.
He was being worked on the sewerage
ditch from the jail during the day and
in the afternoon began to complain of
severe pains. He was allowed to lay
oft' until night, when he was taken to
quarters in a wagon. He continued to
complain and medical attention was
sent for but nothing could be done for
his relief. He died at about 9 o'clock.

J. S. McKeown. arrived in Yorkville,
last night at 11 o'clock, having marched
from Cornwell, Chester county?31
miles?since 10 o'clock yesterday morning.
The men were in good shape considering
the long march over heavy
roads; but they had a plenty. They

Plowing By Steam.
Rock Hill Record: Under the direction
of McFadden & Erwin, the local
agents of the Case company, a large
road traction engine was taken out to
Winthrop college farm on Saturday for
the purpose of giving all of this week
a practical demonstration of plowing
by steam. To this traction engine will
be attached a gang of twelve plows.
The demonstration was started this
morning and the dirt was made to fly
in great shape. Farmers of York county
are Invited t?r witness this demonstration
any day this week.
Killed at Saw Mill.
Mr. Richard S. Russell, formerly of
Yorkville, and well known here; but
who for about two years past has been
operating a saw mill near King's Creek,
in partnership with a Mr. Blackwood,
met with a fatal accident last Friday
morning as the result of which death
occurred at about 5.30 Saturday afternoon.
From such information as could
be gathered, it appears that the unfortunate
man was engaged in taking care
of the lumber as it came from the saw,
and while about to throw down a slab
his foot slipped and he fell backward
against the drive wheel of the engine.
His head struck the protruding key
that holds the drive wheel and his
skull was fractured. He lost consciousness
and did not recover. The I
body was brought to Yorkville and on
Sunday afternoon was interred in the
cemetery here, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. I. G. Murray.
The deceased was about 48 years of
age. He leaves a widow, who was a
Miss Finley. and six daughters as follows:
Mrs. A. H. Louthian of Char- '<
lotte, N*. <*., Mrs. F. P. Porter of Hope,
Ark., Misses Jennie, Nellie, Kate and '

by two sisters, Mrs. \V. H. Powell of 1
