JUDGE PORTER WILL STAY.

The Supreme Court Friday dis
charged the order to show cause in
the proceedings between Judge Porter
and Ira P. Shissler regarding tine
municipal judgeship. This sustains a
point made by Judge Porter that the
charter provision does not supercede
the municipal court act, and Judge
Porter will hold the office another
year. At the same time, it will make
Mr.. Shissler's term three years, in
stead of two.
The decision is as follows: State of
Minnesota ex rel Ira P. Shissler, re-
lator, VS.. jerome E. Porter, respond

After the Storm.

The crops In Laurens county haYe suf-
fered very severely. Cotton was badly
blown about and many young bolls and
forms nave been destroyed. The In
jury will approximate Is or 80 per cent.
That part Of the fodder crop not har-
vested is nearly ruined.
Many small houses were blown down
or unroofed in various parts of the
county. Col. j. III. Wharton's barn was
blown down. Mr.. Van Robertson lost a
small house aud MIR. j. Il. Harris carri-
age house at The Lithia Springs col
lapsed destroying several vehicles. One
nd of the old brick hotel at Waterloo
fell.
Later reports from Beaufort state that
the Phosphate industry has been nearly
wiped out of existence. This will in
volve a serious falling off in tho royalties
paid to the State and consequent higher
taxes to all of us.
DIR. b. Il. Martin and family who lived
on st. Helena Island, and about whom
great anxiety was felt here escaped.
The water rose to the height Of several
feet in his house aud the inmates were
forced to take refuge In the second story.
His horses and other stock were saved.
On the same island 200 people were
drowned.

The board of control met Monday
morning. Mr.. g.. Nj. Langston's petit
ton tor appointment as dispenser was
again presented. 1t contained 100 or ITO
names, an increase OF about Sc over the
number upon IL when last before the
board. j., II. Johnson appeared for the
opposition, and too the ground that the
question OF establishing a ~dispensary on
Mr.. Langston's petition had been deci-
ded and could not be re-opened. Mr..
was not sustained and Mr..
Langston was appointed.
Two land deeds were filed in Clerk
Wharton's Office Monday. One Of them
was for one-eighth OF an acre of land
from A. II. Sullivan to 10 white voters
ofthe town. The other was Tor an equal
amount of al from the same party to
IL colored voters. Thus are the addi.
tional signers to Mr.. Langston's petition
accounted for.
Great, good, glorious and beneficent
are the methods of "Reform."
The dispensary will be located in Max
Narak's building, whore whiskey has al
ways been~Sold.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Sullivan will
be bookkeeper or CLERK to the dispenser.
Since the above was put III type an OK
animation of the two deeds show that
one of them, (thatto the whites) Is dated
the land described IN both has the same
meets and bounds. Consequently it
would appear that deed to the forty
neo negroes Is invalued inasmuch as Sui
Ivan had already parted with his title
when he conveyed the a to them.

Rev. ID. g. Freeman baptised "a
converts at Warrior last Sunday,
after which he preached a deep
sermon to the young converts and
a large congregation.
Sunday night was q stormy one
in these parts and did considerable
damage. The wind uprooted many
trees, scattered fences, gardens,
etc. One tree fell i'm Mr.. Lewis
Burns cowpen aud hurt n of his
milch cows very badly.
Late corn was about as level
with the ground Monday as it ever
gets to he. Farmers that didn't
get through pulling fodder before
this storm will now have to pick
1t off string by string, goose fash
ion as you might say.
Mr.. L.. E. Burns barn was de-
stroyed by fire Monday morning
about one o'clock. This years
fodder crop besides nearly all his
farming implements which were
stored in the barn, was destroyed.
Had il hot been for the immense
quantity frain which was falling at
that time his dwelling too would
have been destroyed. Mr.. Burns
was not at home and the origin of
the fire is unknown.
Some of our young people went
to a picnic at Euoree last week and
report a pleasant time.
Misses Ada and Mamie Martin
visited relatives and friends here
recently. Come again.
