JUDGE MAXEY'S CHARGE.
Gentlemen of the grand jury: The
court does not deem it necessary to
give you any extended Instructions.
From what L can learn, l think the
border has been very peaceful and quiet
so far as the United States authorities
are concerned during the past six
months-since the adjournment of court
in April. And the prospect is you will
have comparatively little business be-
fore you. 1t becomes your duty as
me NJ Der 8 of the grand jury TO lnvestl-
gate all cases il which are brought in
question of violations of the postal laws
of the United States, such as robbery
of the mai,s, theft of money from le,-
tiers, sending obscene literature
throug , the mails, and great many
feitirg is also an offense which it is
your duty to .ouk into: having in po4-
session coun terfeit coin with intent to
de fraud, and passing counterfeit money
with like inte t.
There is distinction TO be observed
in reference to these cases affecting
the coin of the country. Al innocent
man may innocently pass counterfel,
dollar and will not be guilty of the Of
tense. A man is Only guilty of tina.
otfense where the money is pass d with
the intent to defraud somebody. The
distinction is very clear. If man
passed counterfeit bill of coin with
intent to defraud, he is guilty under
the law. If that same piece Of money
should be passed with innocent intent
on his part, without knowing it is
counterfeit, and without any Intention
TO defraud he would not be guilty. So
in looking into this class cases, gem
tlemen, it is always we'll to observe
this distinction. " 10 your duty alec

BURGLARY AND LARCENY.

The residence of Mr.. BROOKS 1nman
was burglarized last Wednesday evening
about dark by a young Negro named
Campbell Huffman, who stole between
SS or SO in cash.
The burglar was caught in the house.
It seems that Mrs. Ingold, Mr.. Inman's
mother-in-law, bad occasion to 60 up
stairs Immediately after supper, and the
startled Negro who was then at his work,
attempted to run past her. By chance,
however, the front door had been locked,
and unable to get out that way, the young
thief darted in another direction, and
was recognized, before he made his es-
cape, by Mrs. Inman.
The matter was Immediately reported
to Chief of Police Love by Mr.. Inman,
and few minutes later Chief Love sue
ceeded in catching the young Negro. A
search developed the fact that he still had
the stolen money on his person, and all of
it was recovered. Huffman was commit
ted to jail; but upon the failure of Mr..
Inman 10 swear out warrant, was re-
leased on Thursday night. The under
standing is that the case was compromised
upon the payment of incurred costs by
the Negro, and his agreement to remain
in the service of Mr.. Inman for two
months.

4 SOURCE OF CORRUPTION.

The revelations appearing in the cor
respondence published elsewhere in this
issue, seem to furnish additional evil
dence in support of the often repeated
charges that the state dispensary is
neverfailing source OF corruption. we
are not only beginning to believe that
such is actually the situation now; but
also we think that from the very nature
of the case, unless there is a radical
change in the whole system, such con-
dition must necessarily continue.
Just how most people will be inclined
to measure up the CAN'T correspondence,
etc., we are hardly in position to say.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Gantts long and
"frank" explanation, however, accord
ing to our Interpretation Of the matter, he
was trying to interfere, in very ques-
tionable way, with something with which
he had no business whatever, and, under
all the circumstances, the interference
seems to be that if he had gotten rid Of Mr..
QUITS, he hoped to put himself in posi-
ton to be able to do just what he claimed
Mr.. QUITS was doing.
In the hands of private individuals
everywhere, the whisky business is cor
rupt. At one time, TIE ENQUIRER be-
lieved that the best way to get rid Of
this corruption was to place the bust
ness in the hands Of the state. But now,
since the law has been thoroughly tried,
we have seen, in official connection with
it, bribery, thievery, perjury and murder.
We have seen good men refuse to stand
for high positions in the management of

ERRORS IN The STATUTES.

The recent publication in THE EN-
QUIRER of the statement of j. s. Brice, to
the effect certified copy of the supply
bill. as it applies to York county, shows
that the railroad bond levy in Catawba
township is 2 mills instead of l, as ap-
pears in the printed statutes, seems to
have been the means of developing the
fact that the statutes are full of errors gen.
orally.
The Columbia Record published the
paragraph referred to from The EN-
oU1RER, and called for information as to
whether the responsibility for the error
lay with the public printer or Mr.. Bra
zeale, upon whom, as code commissioner,
devolves the duty of preparing the copy
for publication.
Mr.. Brazeale has sent The Record a
statement in which he exonorates the
printer and assumes all blame himself.
He says that in preparing the copy, his
assistant, Mr.. J. G. Duncan, read from
the enrolled acts and he did the copying,
generally using printed bill. He was
as careful as possible, he says; but there
may be some errors.
The history of this particular error has
been further explained to The ENoUIR-
Err by Senator Love. He says that the
York commissioners at first recommend
ed levy of one mill for Catawba town.
ship /; but afterward discovering that they
had made mistake: telegraphed him to
have it changed to two mills. The mat
ter was attended to at the last minute,
and, therefore, would not show up on
printed bill except as correction in the
identical copy used by the committee.
Mr.. deLoach explains that the consta-
BILE muddle is due to carelessly drawn
amendment to the general magistrate act.
He thinks. however, that the trouble is
not so bad as it appears on its face, and
that upon construction by the court, the
constables whose salaries seem to have
been cut to $25 year, will be allowed the
respective amounts which are provided
in the previous act.
1t is claimed that the last acts are liter
ally full of errors; but this claim, we are
inclined to think, is somewhat exagger-
ated. The mistake in the amount of the
Catawba township levy is the only indis-
putable error which has so far been
specifically pointed out.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-05-08

the dispensary, on the ground that they
could not risk their own good names or
the good names they hoped to leave to
their children, by connection with such a
business. We know that good men have
been connected with the dispensary, and
we believe that there are good, honest,
we'll meaning men connected with it
now; but, taken all in all, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it is state institution, its
general character is but little higher than
that which was borne by the liquor busi-
ness under the old barroom system.
We can look upon the whole situation
only rs a serious menace to the future
welfare of the state. Experience, so far,
has gone to show that even the state
cannot make the liquor business respect
able, and as time goes on, this fact will
become more and more apparent. We
are threatened with permeating cor
ruption which cannot fail to prove disas-
trous. The only remedy that THE EN-
oUIRER sees, is to throw the whole thing
overheard. Give the whisky business
back to the class of people to which it
naturally belongs, and then let the gov
ernment resume it's efforts to control
these people. That it will ever be able
to control liquor itself, directly, without
getting the worst of the bargain, we do
not believe.

STILL LIVING.
months

Mr.. John Harvey Nicely, of Rock Hill,
was still living when The ENQUIRER
went to press; but as to whether he will
survive is still problematical.
At last accounts Mr.. Neely had changed
his mind as to his condition. At first he
thought his death would be certain and in
a very short time. Then he became more
hopeful and has frequently expressed 1t
as his opinion that he will recover. The
attending physicians, however, are una
BILE to hold out any encouragement.
The wound sustained by Mr.. Nicely is
of a most extraordinary nature. The at
tending physicians have never met with
anything of the kind before, and the
medical books contain but few cases that
are calculated to serve even as distant
precedent. Whether the spinal cord has
been partially cut, or whether there is
only slight pressure of particle of
bone upon it, is merely matter of specu-
lation. 1t is certain that the cord was not
completely severed, as this would have
caused instant death. The theory Of a
pressure on the cord is the most likely
one. The effect Of this is to produce
complete paralysis below the point OF
injury, and although the patient is in no
pain, the functions of the various organs
are either stopped or retarded to such an
extent as to make ultimate recovery
practically impossible. The only hope
seems to be q natural removal of the
supposed pressure upon the spinal cord;
Under the peculiar circumstances OF the
case, it is possible that the unfortunate
sufferer may pass away at any moment; /;
he may live for few weeks and then die,
or he may recover. The latter possibility,
however, is believed by physiological ex-
perts to be the least probable.
