Court of Common Pleas.
Judge Townsend finished tho hearing OF
all the equity cases that came up at this
term, last Saturday evening, and left for
his home at Union on Saturday night. He
took with him the papers in most OF the
cases heard, and will forward bis DEGREES
later. A number Of default judgments
were taken, but were not signed by the
Judge, and for that reason the court will
not be formally adjourned for several days
vet. This is for the reason that the law
requires that such papers be signed in

the Rock Hill Herald, over the signature

Seaboard Air Line. Travelling Passen-
ger Agent Flournoy, Of the Seaboard, was

THE ENQUIRER to say that the 81 rate
quoted is mistake. Only one rate has
been made for this whole section, and 1t

Metropolitan Police.
State Constable Newbold informed a
representative of THE ENQUIRER, one
day last week, that he had recommended,
and the governor is considering, the adj
visibility Of applying the metropolitan
police system to the town OF Yorkville.
The ostensible object The ENQUIRER
presumes, is to enforce the dispensary
law but we are at loss tC see how this
result is to be accomplished. There are
those who would be glad to sec the law
enforced, and if the metropolitan police
system can do anything in tllas direction,
il will be most heartily welcomed. But if
the object Of placing the town under the
metropolitan police system is 70 force the
establishment of dispensary. such action
cannot meet with very general approval.

down into Bethesda township last week to
look after the bridge over Fishing creek,

the grand jury rs being in a dangerous
