A case camo up before Trial Justice
Russell, OF Easlcy, on last Friday, in
volving tho right of Il marshal to ar
rest party unless the breach COM
plained of was committed in the prcs-
once OF tho marshal. Mr.. Child, who
represented the State, contendcd: lst,
that Easlcv had no lawful marsha I'd,
that Arnarshal could not arrest with
out u warrant, unless the otfenso was
committed in tho presence of tho
marshal; Sd, that the marshal must uso
no more forco or violence than is nec-
essary to arrest the party. Mr.. Ans
sci, of Grccnville, represented the de-
fendant. The jury could not agree
and tho case will be again tried. Mr..
Child, wo understand, has made a
motion to move the case from Easley
to neighborhood OF strangers, so
that there can be no prejudice. This
case will likely 60 to the Supreme
Court, however it may be decided, as
some grave question as to the powers
and duties OF marshals are at issue.
AssEssMENT.-We learn from the
County Auditor that the poll of the
County amounts to nineteen hundred
and seventy three. Last year it was
fourteen hundred and thirty eight.
This is an increase Of five hundred and
thirty fvo. The aggregate assessed
valno Of personal property of the
County is considerably lower than
that of the preceding year. We DO
not think this results from over valu-
alton of the property heretofore, from
decrease in it's value now or falling
off of the corpus of the personally
itself; but from n persistent effort on
the part of our people to return their
property at the worry lowest possible
figures. This we think a mistake
that results to the disadvantage rather
than to the advantage Of the citizens.
It is q we'll known fact that our
County is now in debt and q three
mill additional tax has been lowed
TO pay the past Indebtedness.
, Our County is small, and q three

fore assessed, was no moro than no.

of the County. If the aggregate ass
