first should hold. The decision of the
court is to the effect that the first judg-
ment was prior lien and must hold until
satisfied. In some respects the decision
presents many new points, and the opin-
ion is many pages in length.
The jug Traffic.
While the new dispensary law seeks to
make contraband all liquors that may be
ordered into this State for personal use,"
until after they have been examined by
the chemist of the South Carolina college,
it has not interfered with the provision
which allows the bringing of liquors into
the State as personal baggage in quanti-
ties of not more than gallon.
Surveying the Site.
Colonel w. B. Allison, of Tirzah, was in
Yorkville on Thursday and surveyed the
land recently purchased by the York
Cotton Mill company for site. General
Manager Ashe has the negotiations for
machinery, etc., well under way, and it
is expected that number Of machinery
men will be in Yorkville today. Work
on the building will, In all probability,
be commenced before the end of April.
Gets There.
It is beginning to look as if the people
will have to admit that our Chester " oath
er prophet has some inside information on
the weather. For instance take the fol-
lowing current predictions, published in
February: "March 7th and 9th will threat
en- storms. From to II will be cold.
The wind will be from the north and
northeast, and on the 10th and 1lth there
will be snow, sleet or very cold rain.
From II to IA windy. :.
A Free Pardon.
The reporter is informed that Governor
Evans has granted free pardon to Mr..
John A. Barry, charged with violation OF
the dispensary law. On account Of the
charges against him, Mr.. Barry, some
time ago, went to North Carolina. Re-
Gently he was stricken with paralysis,
and for q time it was thought by his
| friends that he could not recover. At
last accounts, however, he was up and
about, and there is reason to believe that
his health would be at least partially re-
covered.
To Election Managers.
Columbia Register: Comptroller Cen
eraI Norton says that the commissioners
and managers of election for delegates to
the constitutional convention can now get
their pay if the proper papers are made
out and sent to his office. The general
assembly appropriated $,50O for this
purpose, but it is thought that the amount
is not sufficient to pay all the claims. The
papers will be prorated so that every man
will get remuneration for his services.
G eneral Norton, however, thinks that the
81, 500 will be sufficient to pay all claims.
Suffering Armenia.
A meeting of the ministers who are
PASTOR of the different congregations in
Yorkville, will be held on Saturday
afternoon at the residence Of Mr.. w. B.
Moore to arrange for united service in
behalf of the Armenian Christians. At
this service, of which due notice will be
given, 1t is purposed to have some
addresses on the situation in Armenia,
and to give the public az opportunity for
tangible expression Of sympathy for the
suffering and famine-stricken Armenians
by asking for an offering for their relief.
Shot Into the Train.
The North bound o. R. & G. passenger
train was fired into by some miscreant a
short distance this side of Sock Hill, last
Wednesday afternoon. The bullet enter
ed window at an occupied seat, came
very near wounding passenger, and
buried itself in the woodwork on the op-
posite side of the car. Some of the train
men ran to the rear end of the coach in
hopes Of seeing the party who fired the
shot; but were disappointed. The pas
sengers are of the opinion, judging from
the range of the bullet, that the shooting
was not an accident; but was deliberate.

ceived here announcing the sudden death
