His honor, Judge Stone will be in Por,
Tobacco on Monday and Tuesday next, the 27th
and 28h inst, fer the purpose Of hearing ap-
peals from the registration officers and deciding
he SINE. All who feel that they have te n
unjustly deprived Of the right of franchise by
these tiicers must be present on those days pre-
pared to present their cases. Those officers Of
registration from whose decisions appeals have
been taken must also be on hand These days
will be the only ones on which his honor will
sit for this purpose, so those interested should
note the fact and be prepared 10 act taccordingl!.
We understand that there will be, thi. time
as usual, number of appeals from the colored
voters whom the registration officers have
either stricken from the lists or refused regis
traton The Court has already decided that 3
party Who has lived continuously outside of the
State, however long, who comes back and
makes oath that be intends to return TO this
county 10 live, however remote or indefinite
may be the time he expects to carry bis i1,en-
ton into effect is entitled, by virtue of that
unsupported oath TO register and vote IN this
county. 1t is not expected tn II the Court will
reverse modify that decision. although many
able lawyers feel confident that persons thus
registered and voting would not have their
votes couated in cas-. of IA contested election. A
novel point, which will arise in some of the
coming appeals, will be whether such of the
colored population as @ away habitually TO
other counties of the State and engage in farm
work during the spring and summer and return
| here just before the election for the purpose o
voting, shall be allowed the right to vote in
this county. The specific requirement of th'
constitution that the voter must must have ac-
tually resided in the county in which he offeri
to vote for s months next prec ding the elec
ton seems to h I'VE been Intended to met just
such causes as this, and we do not believe thai
III. Court will put such p.rties Oh the reglstra
,ions lists here.
The clerk has issued sunmonses for all tn,
re- istration ofi ers TO be present on these days
on the presumption that there will be appeal
from all the officers, although there is no au
thority ia law to issue su:h summonses until .
petition setting forth An appeal from the par
ticular officer shall be first filed 10 the Court

Com m3enSstiOn To the Registrars.
As stated some time ago in the TINES, the
officers OF registration presented their bills TO
the Cuunty c Commissioners tor com penSa ion for
services reni red, in which they cltinei con
pens tli,n for all the days Actu tliy employees in
! perform ming the dllies mi it ob!is ttory upon
| them by HE registration law. The amounts
claimed by the registrtrs amounted fom SS5
10 SO c.tch. T..e comm >sionrcs, whie no. ds-
putting that the registrars were actually employ
ed - days IN the performance OF their duties AS
claimed by the II, only allowed for 3 days ser
vice, cIaimin. h,t. by their Interpretation of a
decision OF the Court of Appeals IN the matter,
they We're not authoriZ "a 10 award any further
compens ttion. Not long since a test ca-e was
in>tituiei hy Mr.. Henry l.. Mud. the off -r
Tor the SJh district, to ascert,id the liability oi
the Commissioners In this matter, in which be
claimed balance of compensation OF S37 over
and above the S53 allowed bv the commissioners
in the levy OF the present year. The case came
az Tor trial before Justice Thomas D. Stone in
the court House on Tuesday. The case was
argued in behalf OF the registration off e by
Mr. F. NJ Cox and in el,lf OF the County
Commissioners hy Mr.. Adrian PoSey their at
,orney. Ga teh,f Of The registration officers
ii WAS coutended that the State a no rIgh, t.
cofnmand services of her citizens and make
hem obligatory under "a pen. .lty without
twarding compensation for the services so rem
dered, and that the decision of the Court Of Ap.
peaIs, upon " hich the commissioners relied had
no bea ring upon the additional compensation
now demanded, except 10 decide the point that
the Officers are entitled to a per diem of 81 for
every day actually engaged under the require
ments of the esstration law On behalf Of the
Commissioners the rendition Of The services was
| Omitted but their Interpretation OF the decision
Of the Court of AppeLis was insisted upon .
Ate hearing tie arguments, Justice Stone de-
ciici that the Commissioners ase liable for
Compensation for all the days of actual service
required by the act, and, there was no dis
pute of the performance of the services, render
ed judgment in Iavor OF Mr. Mudi for the ful!
amount claimed. An appeal was taken to the
Circuit Court.

At Last.

The ex,enied AMI very injurious drouth
which has prevailed for the past three months
WAS at last broken on "Wednesday evening
when We had quite a dashing down pour o.
the blessed and refreshing rain, which Lasted
for nearly six hou s, and all our farmers and
vegetation are now wearing more cheerful as
pect in consequence. 1t is hoped that the
shower Of "Wednesday evening is ouiy precur-
ser of more that is TO follow, and as the ground
is now moist it is quite likely that AS rain vii
now have something TO attract il, it will not be
so long in visiting US. Ia every section Of the
county on Thursday farmers had their harrow>
and wheat drills in the fields putting in their
wheat crop which has been SO long delayed on
account Of the dry condition of the land. Those
Who have already sown this cereal now feel
easier about its terminating, for before the rain
fa there as great fear II at it would dry rot IN
the ground The runs again filed with
water and cattle can go there for their usua
supply Of drinkin. water. Altogether nature
has awaken,d d from lethargy which has per
vaded il, and although it came very late th'
rain is none the less welcomed and Ell yed.

The Dr0ulh In the South.

The following is summary Of tie effects
of the drouth in the South and much that is
said also applicable TO our sections: 1.-The
drouth is now nearly eleven weeks old, and
there are no indications of change in the
weather. The nights are cool and The days
pleasant, with refreshing hreezes, tut the sky
both day and night is clondless Hopes of a
rain were INDUCED in a the time OF the equinox
for the clouds were heavy and indicated rain
This phase passed, and rain seems now as far
off as ever. Much inconvenience and some SUI
fering exist all over the South. The springs,
wells and branches have completely dried up IN
many districts and long drives to rivers have
10 be made to water cattle. The rivers them
selves are very low and gradually reaching
the point noted in 1896, hen the Alabama
River could be waded at Montgomery. The
cotton crop has been burned out more than
three eeks ago, and very little top crop can be
made and this little only in The lowlands. The
,uraip crop, 50 much relied upon for stock feed;
is a complete failure. Meantime DO sttd can
come ~, al hough the farmers are continually
Resolving in the hope that a lain may com" and
give the plhi a start. This IS pdrticu II J
tue OF the wiar,r cabbage crop, OF "hich Sc
much usually x,,ectod III this immediale neIg h.
b rh Oh The drouh of this year is the harder
10 endure from The fact bat ii is repetition o
what happened list year. Fortunately Ihs
drourh this year began two weeks later thai
that of last year, and the cotton had chaLc'
TO mature. On this account the drouth OF lSS4
c,nnot equal in destructiveness that OF 1883, ut
matter how long i, lasts"

was spread broadcast. The people in charge Of
the london bureau of the paper began to get
alarmed about Il, and they went around telling
people this drunken man wasn't the real
Bennett at all, but only an impostor. I
volunteered to 60 over to Scotland Yard and
have the fellow arrested, and you ought to have
seen those journalists back water. They knew
well enough it was Bennett who was engaged in
the pretty pursuit of whooping up the town, and
when the possibility Of his arrest through their
lnstrumentality dawned upon them, they were
scared out of several years growth. One day
Bennett came into the American Exchange In a
bowling state. Henry GiIIig, who runs the con-
Germ, and who is careful to give taffy to all the
solid men who enter the place, went ambling up
to the owner of the Herald and began to get in
his work. Bennett hates to be fawned upon,
and Gillig made him b~ad-tempered. He fred off
9 couple of shots at the grinning fellow before
hun, and when that had no effect he proceeded
TO pitch into him in downright earnest,
and with a volume Of profanity that
was highly & ornate. After that he
saifed out. and turned up no more in that quar-
ter. ! don't see how the man has managed to
Keep himself alive as long as he has. His ex-
ceSses are SO prosraeted, and his quietest life is
50 much in the nature of a spree, that he would
nave been broken down long ago if he hadn't a
constitution like a rhinoceros. He came across
the ocean this time in his steam yacht. Few
but a daring man would care to take such
chances. The Namouna is Of pretty good size
for a yacht, but she is not the craft one would
select for a perilous ocean voyage. But Bennett
Is q reckless customer. He once sailed across in
a sailing yacht, and nobody would be at all sur
prised to see him tackle it in a yawL If some
body would bet him fifty dollars he daren't try
it, Bennett is Just the chap who would take the
bet and make a play to earn the money.

a Frelght War Tmminent.

Yesterday indications were strong that a war
on east bound freight rates was about to break
out. Competitors of both the South Shore and
the Nickeiplate allege that they are paying a
5-eent rebate, one line agent stating that he was
able to prove such was the case with the South
Shore line. Further. it is said that the Chicago
reads are carrying grain at a 20centrate Agents
of lines which profess to be holding rates are
very uneasy and yesterday afternoon tele-
graphed for instructions, intimating that there
was no use IN longer acting honorablv regarding
the maintenance of rates. Representatives OF
the Pennsylvania company and Of the New York
Central lines were, however, instructed to ad-
here to rates regardless of what competitors did.
