one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure Is

Cure is taken internally, acting direct
" OF the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system, thereby destroying. the
Foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

Are the Bonds Valid?


The County Commissioners have re-
ceived a letter from law firm in At
lanta making some inquiries about the
subscription that Newberry township
voted to the Augusta, Edgefeld and
Newberry Railroad in 1886. The law.
yers minated that the township
would be asked to pay these bonds.
Mr. Thos. S. Sease, the clerk Of the
commissioners, replied to the letter,
and intimated that the tow wnshlp did
not consider itself bound to pay the
bonds.
The act passed in 1888 by the Legis'
lature, and known as the validating
act," declares that the interest cannot
be collected on such township bonds
until the railroad for which they were
issued has been built through the said
township.
The State Supreme Court has de-
cided that the act is constitutional.
If the parties who hold the bonds
should make suit, the case would be
taken before the United States Court,
which might not construe the law as
held by the State Court. Tie United
States Circuit Court two months age
decided case similar to the one under
discussion, 10 a suit brought by the
Augusta and Knoxville Railroad Com
pany against Ninety-Six township.
Judge Simouton held IN that case that
the bonds were not valid.
The amount of the bonds is $40, ,0OU
for Newberry township and Sl0,O0 for
No. 8 township. An Augusta bank
held 1000 of the bonds several years
ago.
The road was only graded to New.
berry, and then it was consolidated
with the Three C's. And there it
stands.

Chief Constable D. A. Dickert made
two raids in town on Saturday on two
Establishments on a hunt for "blind
tigers" He swore outla warrant each
against Jordan r. Green and D. NJ.
Ward, charging them with selling con-
trabaud whiskey, the information
and BELIEF being furnished him by
Dispenser Maybin.
Dispenser Maybin was surprised that
his name was used in the warrants.
In conversation with The chief con-
stable on Saturday about the business
of the dispensary, be casually remarked
that from what he could hear, it
seemed that certain parties were run
ming blind tigers, bat he had no
thought that the remark would be
used in a warrant.
The warrants were issued by Trial
Justice Evans, who also allowed his
deputy, P. F. Baxter, to accompany
Constable Dickert in his search for
liquor.
Mr.. Green's place of business was
found and no liquor OF any kind was
found.
The store of Ward & Pearson then
came in for the search, and two bottles
Of sarsaparilla were found.
Neither party placed the least OBJ
struction in the way Of Constable Dick
ert. Mr.. Ward asked him to show his
authority, when the latter produced
the warrant, his badge and bis CON-
mission in simultaneous manner,
Conatahla Diekart annlied to MayOr
Jones for policeman to accompany
him on the search, The Mayor de-
clined to do so, as there were only two
policemen on duty, and with q large
crowd in town. they were needed on
the streets, and that the searching and
seizing contraband liquor was not in
the line of the duty of policemen, but
they would endeavor to quell any dis
turbance that might occur.
The whole affair was so quietly done,
that few people knew the raid was
being made.

Newberry Graded School, has a very
fourishing school at Saluda Academy
near here.
The political pot in this section is

icised, even by the reformers. The
next election will tell the tale.
There was joint debate on last Sat-
urday night At Fairview Academy be-
tween the Irby Literary Debating So
ciety and the Jasper Debating Society:
There was a large crowd present and
all could not find seats. The following
were appointed as judges: Messrs. j.
Wiley Stockman, Lindsay Boozer, and
Lawson Amick. Mr.. G. B. Dominick
acted as president. The subject for dis
cussion was: "Resolved, That it was
Right to Drive the red man from
America" Messrs. Z. Wright Dennis,
E. Spowden Dominick, Willie 81. Long
and Alonzo L. Prisock represented the
Irby society. Messrs. J. Michael Ept-
ing, Willie Fl. Dreher, J. Samuel Moore
and J. Wesley Amick represented the
Jasper society. The question was we'll
discussed by both sides, and good order
was preserved during the debate, and
all present deserve credit for their good
behavior. After the debate was over
the judges retired and soon returned
with the decision in favor of the Irby
boys.
Our farmers have begun in earnest
turning the soil, making fences, rolling
logs, and preparing in every way to
plant another crop of cotton at cents.
Messrs. H. NJ. Dominick and John
Stockman both had the misfortune to
lose q mule. G. B. D.
