EDITOR OF HERALD: During the time
previous to the Democrats getting the a.
tendency in the Council, when G. Il. F.
Simmons and his brother William were
monopolixing all the jobs to be done in the
city, in their line, and as the bills passed
from time to time show, extended over 3
term of several years, there was not any
bowling from the piebald Janus-faced
(would bs considered independently sheet
over the way. Now, It Is well known that
the Davis at that very time were always
called upon, on account of their superior
skill to perform any Job that required It,. 1
say It was all right then, In the sight Of tho
Independant, but now that the shoe ID on
the other foot, It don't suit stall. Mr.. Nc
Minamin, who has been for the past year
ct the head Of the department of the city's
interests, is man of extensive experience
In this line. There is not man In the
Council, perhaps, who is better qualified 70
Judge of the ability Of men to do such work,
and therefore cannot doubt but the city
has been the gamer instead Of loser by the
employment of such men as William B.
Davis, but then the Simmons were all the
time Republicans, and the Davis are sn the
time Democrats. There's the rub, and IT'S
Z very hard rub in these particular times.
Well, there is an old saying, 'T0 the victors
belong the spoils," and We give In for this
time, for the very best of reasons to lot It
b 90. Work away, Davis. 8.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1876-05-18

The folly fgoing to law on frivolous pre-
texts is illustrated sfresh by case lately
tried in the Baltimore Court of Common
Pleas. Some timekago Mrs.~Wilcox and her
sister, while promenading, passed Mrs. Doug
las wearing hat somewhat extensively deco
rated, when one of the former females, pos
sibly trife envious, exclaimed, derisively !:
"Oh, shoot that hat, Douglass" This natu.
rally aroused the ire of Mrs. Douglass, and
she caused the arrest Of the two women
.forinsulting her and they were bound over
to keep the peace. But the matter did not
rest there. Mrs. Wilcox, who had given the
gratuitous advice in regard to the shooting Of
Mrs. Douglass head cover, then had Mrs: D.
arrested on the charge of perjury, of which,
however, she was acquitted. Itwas now Mrs.
Douglass turn, and she brought suit against
Mrs. Wilcox for false and malicious prosecu-
.tion, laying her damages at a high figure.
The case was decided on Friday, the jury
bringing in verdict Of $3.50 in fayor;of the
plaintiff moderately large sum to pay for
