[One of the tuotU important cases that 8 recently been decided by our SuCourt was the cuse of Jennings Metal vs. Abbeville County. The facts the case were these : "In 1881, the la bounty Commissioners let out tno con Inmct to build a wooden bridge over Lit He Hiver at Searles' Mills to J. T. JenWfjp nings and others. Rock piers were required and were to be built of "good rock that will not crumble laid solidly I*? , hi good hydraulic cement." The bridge i' was accepted upon external inspection and pnyment in part was made and nil 1 the claims approved. In January 1882, { the bridge fell down, after a heavy rain. i The Couuty Commissioners then made a careful examination ol piers and dis \ covered as they thought that they had not been built according to contract, and rerv fused to draw checks for the balance of Ii noney due on the contract. Action was brought in the Court of Cbminon * l'leas and a judgment rendered in favor of,the plaintiff. In the Common Pleas, ,m> the defendant demurred on the grounds ** that the complaint did no state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, and I thut the Court of Common Pleas, hud not > '?? jurisdiction to hoar and determine an original action upon a county claim. The presiding Judge overruled the demurrers, and the case was appealed to the Supreme Court on these and other i , grounds. Only one was considered ny the Supreme Court, viz : The jurisdiction of the Court of Common Pleas and after, an exhaustive opinion, by Judge : >. McGoivan in which the rest of the court JlV concurs, the judgment of the lower ' ? court was reversed and the complaint : ? dismissed for want of jurisdiction, without prejudice to plaintiffs to enforce their claim by other proceedings us they if ipay be advised. The decision will prove of greac benefit to the countk-s, as by it, all claims are to be adjusted by the county Commissioners themselves leaving to the claimant, however, the right of appeal ' u> the circuit court. The case was argued in the Supreme Court, b\' Mr. K. li. Gary for the plaintiffs and Mr. L. W. Perrin for the defendaut, Abbeville county, the latter of ^ r' whom raised the point upon which the ' case was decided. The Freshet. Our County has again suffered great loss from excessive rains. The number ( of bridges reported to have been washed away or materially injured is very very large. All bottom lands which < v~"had been prepared or planted hav.e been i overflowed to such an extent, that all work will have he doni1 nvt?r np-niii. Ir < Irt fortunate, however, for our farmers j \ that it occurred at this time and not a & month or so later, for they have plenty ( > of time to replant now, and thoy should ,ir- po at it as soon ns possible. The rains liave b?n?-*fitted greatly the Spring oats, and injured a good yield of this impor- 1 tant crop. Among the bridges washed 1 nway we have learned of the following : ? Over Itocky River?The Double \ Jlridges, near Lowndesville ; the bridge / nt Young's Kill, liurdett's and Millford ] Lower Mill bridge. a Over Little ltiver?Wardlaw's bridge, and serious damage to the causeway at a y. Davis' bridge, rendering it impassable t for vehicles ; the Island Ford bridge and IkWIil/VA Jvni ?ur? ui ivi^u. Over Long Cane?Dendy's, Cannon's, ! Jilack's and Patterson's bridges. Over Hard Labor?The bridge near Winterseat, and others to hear from. ^ ? Tribute of R?spect. >, ~ I The following resolutions of respect o to the memory of Col. 11. H. Harper, v were adopted by the Quarterly Confer- j ?nee of Lowndesville Station May 8th, ti 1886. c Whereas it has pleased our Heavenly Father to remove from among us our benevolent and kindhearted brother. 8 I Col. H. H. Harper, who was Tor many l! (years a worthy member oi this Quar- " terly Conference therefore, ltesolced 1, That in the death of Col. n * Harper Lowndesvilte station has sus- n tained a great loss and while we how in C( submission to the will of God. we pray I that he may raise up some one to take h his place in the church. C Iicxolvetl 2, That we tender to the I? bereaved family our sympathies and prayers in thoir affliction. ^ Resolved 3. That a page of our journ- jr al be devoted to the memory of our w deceased brother, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family and also for publication in the Abbeville ^ papers. 9 F. Auld. J. M. Latimer. T Kills G. (Srayrton Ks<j., ^ This gentlemen is aunounceil this t( week as a candidate for the House of Representatives. Mr. Graydon was tl a member of the last Legislature and o / was (fistinguished in that body for his o watchfulness of his constituents' intereats and exerted considerable influence in ft shaping Legislature.

Hodges, the present in eumbent, is announced in anothe column as a candidate for School Com tnissioner. We do not feel that it i: necessary to say anything concernin) him, more than to call the atten tion to the present condition of our schools, which are a monuinen to his untiring zeal. He has made at efficient and zealous officer, giving mos of his time and attention to the dutie: of his office. If re-elected he will con tinue his good work, and make oui schools what they ought to be promoter of morality and lenrning lor the childrei of our county, and not mere easy place: for those who may teach them. The Literary Club. The regular meeting of this Club took place, on last Friday night, at the residence of Mr. L. \V. White, it being the time for the election of officers the following were elected for the next quarter: President, Geo. C. Hodges, Vice-President, James S. Perrin. Prof. Wistar Archer read a very interesting paper on Greece, which was. discussed with interest by various members of the Club. The usual refreshments were served. Mr. W. P. Calhoun is the next essayist, and Mr. Jas. S. Perrin the alternate. The n?*xt meeting will lake place at the residence of Judge Cothran. 9 For State Senator. Gen Robert R. Hemphill is announced as a candidate for State Senator. Gen. Hemphill is so well known in Abbeville county that it is almost a work supererrogation to have anything to say concerning him. He has been intrusted several times with responsible uositions and never yet has he proved unwoi thy of the trust reposed in him. He made a gallant soldier, and was ever ready to do his whole duty. If elected to the Senate'he will rellect credit upon his native county and look closely after the interests of the whole State. MESSAGES. For last week's N"inet3*-Six Xews see first page. Mr. \V. J.
