BIG MONEY INVOLVED.

J. S. Brice, Esq, as special referee, on
last Saturday, finished the work Of tax
ing the testimony in the case of Elizabeth
deLoach, as survivor of James l.. de-
Loach and Elizabeth deLoach, plaintiffs,
against A. A. and M. P. Sarratt, deten-
dants.
In 1880, James E. deIoach sold to A. A.
Sarratt, plantation in Union county for
1000. After several years, Sarratt de
faulted in payment of interest. The
plantation was sold under foreclosure.
It failed, by about $1,000, to bring the
purchase price, and the suit is to recover
this deficiency.
All the testimony in the case has been
taken by J. S. Brice, Esq. The work re-
quired three days in Union last week,
and one day in Yorkville. The plaintiff
is represented by w. b. deLoach and w.
B. McCaw, Esqs., of Yorkville, and the
defendants by Monroe & Monroe, Of I'm
ion, and Duncan e. Sanders, of Spartan
burg.
Messrs. deLoach and McCaw left on
Monday for Spartanburg, where argyll
ment is now being heard by Judge
Buchanan.

FOR, TRAVEL ONLY.

The interesting question of municipal
jurisdiction over sidewalks has been up
before the city council Of Atlanta, Ga,
for a week or two. The question was
raised as the result of proposition to re-
peal an ordinance to prohibit the use of
sidewalks by fruit stands, etc. The coun-
Gil passed the repeating ordinance; but
Mayor Collier promptly interposed a
veto, and in his message incorporated the
following, which is good law everywhere {:
81 take it for granted that the purpose
in seeking to repeal this portion Of the
ordinance is to grant to private parties the
right to use the streets or sidewalks OF the
city for personal gain, and in manner
inconsistent with the use for which they
were acquired by the city.
"The legal title to the streets and side
walks is in the city, and am advised by
the assistant city attorney that the muni-
cipal authorities have no legal right to
gra mt anyone the use thereof for any pur-
pose except travel. Such being the case,
the clause sought to be repealed is but a
declaration of the general law on the sub
ject, and if there were no other reason, it
should remain in the ordinance in order
to remove the misapprehension that seems
to exist in the minds Of some OF our most
worthy citizens"

THOMAS CHALLENGES WILBORN

Anent the railroad commission row,
Commissioner Thomas has written brief
card in reply to published statement
from Mr.. Wilborn that the majority of
the board would see that the people
would receive justice at their hands de-
spite Mr.. Thomas. In his card MIR.
Thomas reiterates his charges about the
fertilizer rates and makes this challenge,
coupled with a reference to the recent
trouble in the commissions room:
"Mr. Wilborn represents me as stand
ing between the people and justice.
Commissioner Wilborn is on committee
to arrange for speaking at the Tirzah AL
lance meeting. IF he will invite me to
speak land I am as good an Allianceman
as himself) in opposition to himself, l
will prove that he is personally unjust to
me and officially unjust to the people.
SIN regard to the difficulty in our office,
l have this to say: When l began to
speak everything was pleasant in the
office when I was half way through,
Commissioner Evans interrupted me,
saying in substance that my speech was a
tissue of falsehoods; at the close he in
formed me that / was no gentleman. l
resented it. | will continue to fight for
cotton reduction and the removal OF dis
examinations against the Piedmont section
and the Charleston fertilizer plant, as
shown in my speech"

The moon is very much smaller than the
sun, but owing to its lesser distance, the
moon presents about the same visual an
gle as the sun, and appears to be of about
the same size. At the moons average
distance from us. it is just about large
enough to cover the sun up, but as the
distances of both the sun and moon from
us constantly vary, we have sometimes q
total eclipse. In total eclipse the moons
shadow is long enough to reach to the
earth, while in an annular eclipse, such as
the present one, the shadow does not quite
reach us. Owing to the fact that the sun
is much larger than the moon, the shad-
ow of the latter terminates in point,
which, during an eclipse, drags across the
earth's surface in comparatively mar
row path, never more than ITO miles
wide. This pointed shadow is called the
umbra, within which the observer would
experience a total eclipse, but outside and
around this umbra is fainter shadow
called the penumbra, within which an
observer would experience a partial

LETTER FROM HICKORY GROVE.

Some Causes OF Lynch Law-Preparing
to Build-Personal Mention.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HICKORY GROVE, July 26.-I have just
laid aside my paper, and the contents of
which thoroughly disgust me. l have
come to the point where I mistrust all
mankind and that includes my humble
self.
Here is the case of one DIR. Ryder, OF
Georgia, who murdered beautiful young
lady, and though his efficient" attorneys
has succeeded in delaying the just execu-
ton of the law, until the people of the
community arise in their God-given pow
er and call halt. That halt is lynch
ing. Then here comes the pardon of
Young Hasseltine, the defaulter, who was
i'm atlluent circumstances, yet who will
81. op so low as to steal.
Does not such work as this say to 9TH
ers, go thy way and sin more; you have
friends who will see to it that you are
pardoned.
The only pardon this young man
needs, and all that he deserves, is par
don from Heavenly Father. Let him
serve the full sentence of the law aud pay
the penalty of outraged justice. Just so
long as such precedents as this are hand
ed down to our young men in places OF
trust, just so long we will place premi-
um upon all outlaws and evil doers. Give
us, say, officials with more moral cour-
age, who are not so quick TO respond to
these sentimental petitions, or tear down
this one man pardoning power.

kins for inforpation.
Asked as to whether there was any ne
cessity for meeting Of the County DEM
ocratic Executive committee previous to
the senatorial campaign meeting here,
Chairman Brice said no; that there were
no arrangements for it to make. Tickets
will have to be furnished by the candi-

only be necessary for the committee to
meet a short time before the election for
the purpose of appointing managers, and
sending out tickets, etc. The date on
which the committee will be called to as
semble, has not yet been settled.

AS TO WHO CAN VOTE.

THE ENQUIRER has had several inqul-
ries as to whether in the approaching prl-
mary election for the nomination of
United States senator, the old club roll, as
closed previous to the last primary, would
bo used or would the rolls be reopened
for registration up to five days previous
to August 81.
The question was presented to j. ).
Brice, Esq, chairman of the York Coun-
ty Democratic Executive committee OH
yesterday. Chairman Brice said that he
had not looked into the matter; that the
question was one TO be determined by

RACK FROM TORONTO.

Rev, and Mrs. j. w. Humbert returned
on yesterday from Toronto, Canada,
where they went recently with the party
which left here to attend the Epworth
League convention. That they were de-
lighted with the trip only puts it mildly.
In talk with the reporter yesterday,
Rev. Mr.. Hrmbert had great deal to
say in favor of Canada and the Canadians.
AS compared with the United States he
noticed wonderful difference. For one
thing, the people are not in such "hur-
ry." While riding in street car in
Toronto, for instance, he says he dropped
a book containing programme, music,
etc. Instead of doing as they would in
the United States, the conductor stopped
the car and went back after the book.
The Canadians, also have, he says, a
greater respect for the Sabbath than is to
be generally noted in the United States.
Not long ago, an election was held on
the question of allowing street cars to be
run on Sunday, and though many thou
sands of votes were cast, the street cars
won only by small majority; but even
that does not settle the matter. The
street cars are supported, for the most
part, by people who disapprove of Sab
bath desecration, and so many Of these
people walk instead of riding to church,
as to make the cars Improbable.
Speaking of the Epworth convention,
Mr.. Humbert says it was grand affair.
1t was rather large and unwieldly for de-
bate; but, all the same, it was wonder
full demonstration with inspiring effects
on the members.
AS yet, the other members of the York
Vile party have not returned. They de-
cided that while they were out, they
would take in still further opportunities
that were presented by the trip. and will
probably not be back for several days.

1t looks funny; but, all the same,
that many southern cotton mills are buy
ing raw cotton in New York and shipping
it back, is a fact. Whether this was be-
cause southern mills did not have the
foresight, or the money, when the cotton
was to he had at their doors, is not eX-
actly clear. Anyhow, to be compelled to
pay freight both ways when the cotton
should have been had without the neces-
sity of having to pay any freight at all, is
pretty tough.

DEATH OF MRS. CALDWELL.

Mrs. Fannie Caldwell, wife of Mr..
John Caldwell, died at her home in the

yss to which she had for long time

we'll shortly after the war, and from that
time up to the date of her death, was a
resident Of the community in which she
died. For many years past she has been
a member of the Sharon A. r. church,
and far and near she was known as
most estimable Christian. Uniformly
charitable, not only to the poor and
needy, but to those in fault and constant
ly practicing the many virtues required
by her religion Of wife, mother and
neighbor, she lived life that has not
been without a wholesome and uplifting
influence wherever she was known.
At the time of her death, Mrs. Cald-
we'll was aged 81 years months and l
day. Besides a heartbroken husband,
she leaves nine children-three sons and
six daughters. The oldest son, Mr.. w.

that their code of ethics has no place
in this age of advertising, the better it
will be for both doctors and newspaper
men.
- Chairman Dingley, of the ways
and means committee, takes the fol-
lowing roseate view of the effect Of
his tariff bill, just passed: "The tariff
bill, in due course of time, will furnish
adequate revenues to carry on the
government and will materially aid in
reviving the industries and business of
the country. The business condition
of the country is much better now
than prior to the calling of the session.
There is greater confidence in the
future. There is great relief and sat-
isfaction at the settlement of the tariff
question, which enables business men
to 90 forward with full knowledge of
the basis on which business is to be
conducted. The fact that sufficient
revenue has been provided to carry on
the government, after the effect of an
ticipatory importations has disappear
ed, is of itself source of increased
confidence, and the further fact that in
the revision of the tariff, duties have
been adjusted so as to encourage in
dustries in this country instead OF
abroad, affords sufficient ground for
substantial business improvement"
- The Dingley tariff bill is now a
law, says a Washington dispatch OF
Saturday. The last step necessary
was taken at the White House when
the president affixed his signature at
4.O4 O'Clock today. 1t had been ar

Small Amount Of sur-Rebuttal Evidence
offered and Arguments Berun.


Small Amount Of sur-Rebuttai Evidences
offered and Arguments Begun.
Chicago. Oct. 1.-THE defense In the
x.uetgert> case closed its sur-rebuttal In
an hour yesterday except few witt
nesses it reserved the right to Introduce
later. Several business men rehabili-
tated the reputation of William Charles
for truth and integrity, which had been
lmpeached by men to whom he is in debt
or has been. Two other witnesses swore
there were hundreds Of pounds of grease
In the factory on May 1; another swore
that Odorofsky had testified to Justice
Kersten that he was not in the factory
on May /.
Odorofsky explained that when he tes-
titled by saying that he could not prop
erly understand the Kersten examina-
ton because 1t was In German instead of
Polish. He knew enough of German,
however, to get along with Luetgert who
cannot talk Polish. The last witness and
probably the most important was not
permitted to testify by the court Mrs.
Feldt had sworn that Mrs. Charles
wanted her to swear the rings found In
the vat were not Mrs. Luetgerts.
Mrs. Charles had denied this. On cross
examination the defense asked Mrs.
Feldt several questions evidently intend
ed for impeachment purposes on sur-re-
buttal. By the witness introduced yes
terday the defense proposed to prove
that Mrs Feldt had sworn falsely re-
garding these facts, and the Judge ruled
the testimony out. McEwen began the
argument for the state and occupied the
balance Of the day. 4,
