The supreme court ha3 recently handed down a decision in the case of Mr. J. H. Sutton against the Southern Railway , ^nmrvonu on/4 f ^ Xiri-! ? * VW...J/U.IJ uuu i. vi. >r iiiiiuck, u iormer agent of the railway company in this city. The plaintiff, a farmer of Fort Mill, was injured in u freight wreck two years ago. He sued for damages and the jury awarded him reparation, ; both against the company and Whitlock. ; The supreme court held that the jury should have been directed to bring in a verdict for the defendant Whitlock, inasmuch as it was not proved that Whitlock stood in any other relation than agent of the company, and that he owed any duty to the plaintiff. The company is held to have been negligent and the verdict against the company for $1,300 is sustained, while j that against Whitlock is reversed. Senator Stewart Displeased. The appointment of Mr. Harry E. , Neil as treasurer of York county is likely to result in considerable correspondence between Gov. Ansel, who named the man, and Senator Stewart, , who protests against the selection, on ! the ground that politics had been brought to bear in influencing the np- > pointment, says The State of yesterday. ? Mr. Neil succeeds Mr. H. A. 1). Neely, deceased, and Gov. Ansel made the appointment on the recommendai tion of two members of the York dele gation, Messrs. Sanders and Hollis. i An interview in a Rock Hill paper stated that Senator Stewart takes the t position that the delegation was ignor, | ant entirely and that as soon as he , could call a meeting of the delegation I he would do so and recommend some l one for the place. * Closing Exercises of Public School.
