dict for him pecuniary success.
Friday in case instituted under the
prOhibitOry law by the county attorney,
Judge Howe, against S. L. Pool, a
druggist of that place. a temporary
injunction had been obtained enjoining
the druggist from selling intoxicants,
and it was on a motion to dissolve this
injunction that a dozen or more wit
nesses appeared before Judge Ellis, at
chambers. The complaining witness,
In the original application for an in
junction. was Rev. ii. c. Bosley, who
appeared for the Law and Order League
lie was backed by one portion of the
town company, while the banker, Mr.
Steck, and several other prominent citi-
Zens appeared as friends of the drug
gist. Plaintiffs witnesses proved that
the drug store was ar orderly house;
that they never knew of liquor being
drank on the premises and there was
not sale proved except it was made IN
compliance with the statutes, and the
Oily point made was that one or two
individuals were in the habit of obtain
ing and using more liquor than was
necessary as medicine. Judge Ellis
in dissolving the injunction, held that
as eminent chemists and physicians had
differed as to whether liquor was a
medicine or a poison, he could not IN
dertake to settle this point; and IN the
case under consideration as there ap-
peared TO have been no irregularity in
the sale of the liquor, as there was no
evidence to show that the druggist had
reason to believe that the liquor was
being used for any other purpose than
it was purchased for; and as its sale
under certain restrictions. was permit
ted by law, he could not do otherwise
than to dissolve the injunction.

officers learned of his whereabouts he
was carried to Jail, where he will be
strongly guarded. No. other arrests

GOOD NEWS.
D. T. CORBiN AND WILLIAM STONE
ARE FOlLED AT LAST.

The United States Supreme Court DEGREES
that the Carpet-Bag Firm Must Surren-
der the Phosphate Money which they
Collected and have Kept for more than
Ten Years.
WASHINGTON, April SIN the
Supreme Court to-day Chief Justice
Waite rendered the decision of the Court
in the case Of William Stone against the
State of South Carolina in favor Of the
State. This suit was brought by the
State Of South Carolina In the Court OF
Common Pleas of Richland County in
August, 1877, against D. T. Corbln and
William Stone, law partners, to recover
o balance claimed to be due for moneys
collected by Stone for the State and not
paid over to the State treasury. In
April, 1878, Stone presented in the
Court a petition for n removal OF the
suit to the United Stales Circuit Court
from South Carolina, stating that he
was citizen of New York and resident
there, and thai his co-defendant was a
citizen of South Carolina, and so also
was plaintiff citizen of the same State,
and der the Statutes Of the State and
the United States Statutes the suit was
one in which there could be no final
determination reached so tar as he was
concerned with the presence OF the CO.
defendant to the cause. The State
Court proceeded with the suit, notwith-
standing Stones petition for removal,
and after trial gave judgement against
both defendants for s23, 72S, wlthinterest
from July, 1876. During the whole
proceedings. says Chief Justice Waite,
Stone denied the jurisdiction of the State
Court after the filing Of his petition.
The Supreme Court of South Carolina
affirmed The decision Of the Court OF
Common Pleas, and to reverse that
judgement of affirmapce the present
writ of error was brought. This Court
holds, says the Chiet Justice, that a
State Court is not bound to surrender
its jurisdiction ola suit on petition for re-
moval until case has been made which
on its face shows that the petitioner has
a right to transfer. This Court further
holds that the money sued for was re-
ceived by defendants as partners, and
they arc liable jointly for its payment if
they are liable at all. Such case is
not removable, and, therefore, the
Judgment of the lower Court is affirmed.

mined 0nQ swept away.
MACON, GA. April Hundreds of
people were to be seenfon the banks of
the booming Ocnlulgee to-day, watching
the mighty current as it swept past
carrying death and destruction in its
course. The incidents last night were
fearful, and with the coming Of daylight
it was found that an unfortunate man
named Cornell Cheely, a drayman. who
had climbed to the top OF tree for safe
ty, and whose cries for help were heard
at intervals during the night. was no.
where to be seen. He was one of the
men who refused to leave his house yes
terday morning, even after the water had
reached 1t. At last he was forced to
seek refuge in China tree near by. 1t
was then too late to rescue him, although
many attempts to do so were made.
His cries for help yesterday afternoon
were ptcous, and although there were
hundreds Ofpcople who heard him, they
were powcrless to lend assistance. He
continued to call until + o'clock this
morning when his voice was no longer
heard, and when dawn came lie was not
in the tree. 1t is supposed that being
exhausted and benumed by cold, his
strength failed and he dropped into the
water and pcrlshed. Another man
named Jack Reeves, who was fireman
at the compress, is also missing, and it
is supposed he was drowned. A num-
Der Of attempts were made yesterday
and last night to rescue these men, but
each time the boat capsized, and the
rescuers were compelled to return to
land. Mr.. II. X. Gilmore and Mr..
Self attempted to reach them, but lost
their boat, and sought salty upon one Of
the undermined houses. They were
rescued by Il brave colored man named
Harrison Owen. Two others, whose
names could not be learned. were res
cucd by Mr.. W. G.. Faircloth. Of the
forty or more houses near the river,
III East Macon. about twenty-five were
undermined and have toppled over aud
are in all sorts Of positions. Many of
the occupants lost all their household
effects and are suffering for the necessi-
ties OF life. The river has fallen about
three feet to-day and 1t is hoped that the
worst has passed.

E. anAxc and Poisons Hlmsslf.

NANUGATUCK, Conn.,. Marh 3O.-
Jay Andrews. aged fifty years, and Ell
sic Williams: aged forty, were nelghbors
in Oxford, four miles west Of this place.
Andrews, who was a farmer and bach
elor, resided with his sister. Miss Will
liams was a dress maker and Andrews
paid attentions to her for some time,
ard his sentiments were reciprocatcd.
Lately Charles Proctor, of Woodbury.
visited her and she dropped Andrews.
The latter pressed his suit vigorously
and made threats against Procter. At
1890 O'Clock this morning Miss Will
liams was sewing for her sister, Mrs.
Orlando Osborn, when Andrews came
in with all axe. He asked for Miss
Williams, who was in tie front room
with MIR. Osborn. Andrews went in
and sat for a moment BY the fire. Then
Swinging to his feet without word OF
warning he swung his axe aloft and
brought it down with terrific force on, top
of Miss Williams head. She threw up
her arms in time to partially ward Oft
a second blow. which gashed the side
of her head. Mr.. Osborn grappled with
Andrews; who acted like madman and
tried to strike Osborn's little son., An
dfews was a powerful man, SIX feethigh
and weighing is5 pounds, and the strug-
Gle was i terrific one. When disarmed
Andrews ran to his own house, eighty
rods away, were he drank one.eigth of
an ounce of sulphate of strychnine, pull
cd Off his boots and started for the
woods. The neighbors went in pursuit
and found him halfa mile away, with
his face buried ia the grass BY a stream.
He was dead.- Meantime Drs. Barnes
of Oxford, and Pultord of Seymour, were
called to attend Miss Williams, but could
do nothing, her head being literally split
open. She lived for five hours but was
unconscious. Miss Williams was highly
respected and worked in the first tami-
lies of Ansonia and Semour. She leaves
a mother, Mrs. Nelson Williams, and a
brother and sister. Andrews had al
ways resided in Oxford. was well known
and considered a good-tempered, kind
hearted man. Jealousy at Proctcr's
visits to Miss Williams is supposed to
have crazed him.

MORE POLITICAL PEPPER.
With Col. Butler's Compliments to Col
Aiken.

Aiken. s
COLUMBIA. s. g., March 90. 1886.
Editor Presss and Banner: II
Ihave just read Colonel Aiken's COM
munication in your last issue. Permit
me to say that like him I am strongly
in favor of:a. farmers convention-not
one but many conventions. Public
meetings Of the farmers will do more
real good for their cause than all the
buncornbe speeches made in Congress
in a century! f heartily approve Colonel
Aiken's suggestions concerning the
States department. Of agriculture. !
am prepared to say that any suggestions
from an organization Of farmers or from
individuals for the improvement ofthe
department will beamest gratefully re:
eeired, bat I trust tl,asaA investigation
of the work. Of the7dbpartment viii show
that 1t is already an houorto the State. =
Col. Aiken suggests that If the depart
ment is mot worth the money paid fos
it'' such alterations in its administraa
tions should be made as will bring it up
to this standard. I also cordially en-
dorse this patriotic sentiment. Col.
Aiken asks ''why should, h farmer feed
his cattle ON cotton seed meal exempt
from taxation, whereas is he feeds his
crop on the same article he is taxed ,fot
the privilege" I will tell him. The
Legislature passed an act authorizing
the department Of agriculture to analyze
all fertilizers sold in the State. When
cotton seed meal is s'fed to the crops''
it becomes a fertilizer. and as such is
subject to inspection, as it IS liable to
adulteration. and is consequently tax:
able. AS stock food it IS not subject to
inspection by this department, ]. fear
Col. Aiken's suggestion in regard to
this tax was inspired by the fact that
he recently purchased lot of meal that
was not tagged in accordance with law,
through his own or the manufacturers
negligence, and he was somewhat in:
conyenienced thereby. 1t may be wise
to repeal all the laws Of South Carolina
passed for the protection Of the farmers
of the State, where they conflict with
Colonel Aiken's interest, but must
be pardoned for saying that I do not
think so. The department of agrlcul.
ture is not only willing but anxious to
be investigated by the farmers of the
State. It was created specially to adj
vance their interest and if it is not full
filling Its purposes the farmers should
know it. AS it seems to be in order for
everybody to make suggestions to the
convention which is to assemble in
Columbia on the 29th of April, I will
exercise the same privilege that Others
are taking and suggest TO the farmers
that they Should remember that our
Congressmen are not ont of. reach OF
the ...s:ss
representatives I've examined aud let the
farmers ''learn whether or not they are
worth the money paid for them and If
they are not. make such alterations in
our Congressional delegation as will
make it an honor to the State"
