Ji Important Deiistou.
[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. ^

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

For School Commissioner.
Mr. George C. 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.

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.
