Four new cases have been reported up lo noon in New Orleans. Dr. Guiteras is still here. He says he is inclined to believe that the yellow fever was imported into New Orleans from the coast towns before it was dis covered in Ocean Springs. This he tlnu. accounts lor the numerous eases here. He also says that the popular fallacy that negroes are immune hat been thoro”»'hly exploded. He thinks the negroes . >lp largely to spread the disease, lie .. '’s the death rate about equals that of t e Jacksonville epidemic ami exceeds that of the Brunswick epi demic, the latter having been 8 percent. Four cases of yellow fever from the I Home For the Friendless have been ! taken to Beauregard yellow fever lios- | pital. The hon e has been closed and will be thoroughly sanitated.

H„iik‘. stocklK.lder* Arm Mrld Doubly Arbkviuj?, S. (J., Sept. 27.—Thecase oT W. H. Parker, and others, versus Carolina Savings hank, which was heard by Waiter L. .Miiler. master of Abbe ville county, on Aug. 17 last, has been decided. The case involved the con struction of the South Carolina consti tution of 18C8. That constitution made the stockholders of corporations liable “to the amount of their respective share or shares of stock.” The question be fore the court was. did that mean a sin gle or double liability? Did it mean that in case a bank failed the stock holders eimnly forfeited their stock, or did they loose in addition a sum equal to the amount of their stock. The master filed his report in favor of the latter construction—a double lia bility. He held that the liability of stockholders under the constitution of 1868 aud the statute was 105 per cent in addition to a forfeiture of the stock. The case mentioned above is an effort, on the part of the creditors of the creditors of the L twndesville bank to hold the stockholders liable. It involves an important constPn- tional question and will ex-ite general interest throughout the county. All of the Abbeville bar and most of the An derson bar are engaged in it.
