CIRCUIT COURT.

The case of G. C. Ormand against
Jones, Blanton & Co., was taken up on
Tuesday afternoon and was given to the
Jury on Thursday afternoon at about
o'clock. The jury remained in the room
until Friday morning and reported
mistrial. The issues involved are exactly
similar to those involved in the previous
case of j. B. Ross against the same de-
fendant.
The next case taken up was that OF
Dunovan & Miller against Jones, Blan-
ton & Co. This case is also identical with
the others except as to amount. 1t con-
sumed all of yesterday, and will proba-
bly not be concluded until this afternoon.
There are eight more jury cases press
ing for trial at the present term-enough
to take up all of next week. The jurors,
however, will be dismissed not later than
next Wednesday afternoon. With today
the Jurors will have already served two
weeks, and Judge Benet thinks this is
unfair. He says that if court is to contin-
ue for so long a time, there should be
a fresh jury for each week. 1t is for that
reason that he does not feel disposed to
hold tie present jury until all pending
business is disposed of.
The outlook now is that the present
term of court will be adjourned sine die
on next Saturday. 1t is not probable
that the judge or lawyers will feel dis
posed to work OH II thanksgiving, and the
calculation is that after the jurors are dis
charged, the remaining equity business
can be disposed of in about two days.

Two Constables Pardoned.

Columbia State, Wednesday: While
the whole state is in more or less of
stir over the killing of Farmer Turner
by State Detective Newbold and about
the flight of Newbold, Gov. Ellerbe
stepped in yesterday and granted a full
pardon to Liquor Constables J. H.
Buice and ]. A. May, who killed John
T. Sims in the ozark Corner" section
of Spartanburg county, on December
1S, 1896, nearly two years ago. Strange
enough it happens that the killing took
place in identically the same county as
that in which Mr.. Turner was killed.
The constables were put on trial in
Spartanburg county in June last, and
both of them were convicted of man.
slaughter, the sentence of the court
being two years in the state prison in
each case. Crawford, the other con-
stable who Was present at the time OF
the killing, was also charged with MUIR
der; but his case was mol pressed by
the solicitor. After the conviction the
attorneys representing the constables
at the trial gave notice of an appeal to
the state supreme court, and pending
that appeal the two men were released
on bond. They have been out ever
since. The clerk of the supreme court
has within the last few days, it is un-
derstood, been notified that the appeal
has been abandoned.

And Every Candidate Feels That He Is
the One Chosen.
spartanburg Herald.
As The Herald has had occasion to
remark before, there is no place on
earth like Columbia, during state
fair, for politics. Now that the details
of some of the wire pulling is coming
to light, there happens to be an anus
ing incident. Our grapevine tells of
sumptuous spread in one of the hotels,
which seemed to take an untoward
turn on the host. The story goes that
a certain rather obscure, but ambi-
tions up-countryman, who is known to
have heard the buzz of the guberna-
torial bee, and who has confided the
secret to few select friends that he
would not decline the nomination if
rendered him on silver or gold wal
ter, conceived the idea of giving pri-
vate dinner as feeler. The idea was
to bring together dozen congenial
spirits, being careful to select them
from different counties where their
work would conduce most to keep the
bee buzzing. At the appointed hour,
so the story runs, after partaking Of
the SPLENDID supper interspersed with
exhilarating beverages, in the most
nonchalant manner possible, one Of
the guests arose to drink to the health
of "The next Governor of South Caro-
lima" All eyes turned TO the host,
who was preparing to rise, when the
clear ringing words of thanks for the
compliments came from another quar-
ter. The man who responded had been
announcing himself for several days
and took for granted that he was re-
ferred to. He had not heard of the
other candidates ambition and hence
was perfectly at ease in receiving the
ovation which followed.

Cotton Picking About Finished-About
People-Hoodtown Alliance Reorgan-
lied.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
HoopTowN, November 18.-The farm
ers are nearly done picking cotton, the
corn has been gathered, and it now re-
mains for them to prepare to 20 into
winter quarters and sow grain. More
wheat is being sown here than has been
in several years, and if that crop fails,
there will probably be more corn con-
sumed than usual during next year.
The school at this place opened on
Monday, the Sth instant, with Miss Bar
bara Chambers as teacher.
Mr.. T. G. Mickle is recovering from an
illness of three weeks with fever.
The health Of the community is better
now than for several months.
Mr.. Jno. E. Plexico had the misfortune
to lose a good mule one night last week.
The cause Of its death is unknown, but
was probably due to collie.
Mr.. III. w. T." is all smiles at present.
It's fine boy, of course.
The presence OF considerable frost and
some ice, this morning. seems to be quite
forcble reminder of the near approach
of winter. However, we have had excep-
tionally fine weather this fall, and hard
and disagreeable winter would not be
surprising.
The Hoodtown Alliance has been reor-
oanized and there will be q meeting OF
the same next Saturday afternoon at
o'clock. There will also be a meeting
with view to organizing a camp OF the
Woodman of the World at this place.
Owing to the low price of cotton, and
probably also the scarcity of feed, an un-
usually large number of cattle is being
sold in this section. VOCE.

-"Disarm the constables," says the
Columbia Register. Why, brother, un-
der the law as it now stands, there is not
an individual in the state, not even sher'
if, who has the right to carry concealed
weapon. Everybody, even the preach
ers, have a constitutional right to car
nv arms strapped about their persons if
they see fit. Look up the statutes, es-
pecially the volume turned out at the
last session of the general assembly,
and see if this is not correct.

AGAINST THE RAILRoADs.-Judges

AGAINST THE RAILRoADs.-Judges
Pardee and Newman, of the United
States court, handed down, in Atlanta,
last Saturday, a decision in the famous
dispensary case, eDjoining the Southern
railroad from refusing to haul liquor
into South Carolina in the future. The
decision is an important one, in that
the original package law is involved.
The judges decided that liquors and
wines in bottles packed in boxes and
shipped in carload lots were, under
the law of South Carolina, clearly ad-
missible, and should be handled by
any railway.

"SECTl0NAL LINES"

Our esteemed contemporary, the Rock
Hill Herald, is nothing if not funny. We
have had occasion to state this fact more
than once; but that we have ever sue
ceeded in showing up the full extent OF
its curiousness, we have not the slightest
idea. But now it comes forward, OF its
own accord, and makes prima facie case
against itself. Listen at this from The
Herald of Wednesday:
Mr.. Cherry accepts his defeat very
gracefully. 1t will be noted that Mr..
johnson carried every precinct in the
county except Rock Hill, showing con-
clusivelv, we think, that sectional lines
were drawn, and that had Mr.. Cherry
been from any other community, he
wonld perhaps have received a better
support.
THE ENoUIRER's understanding of the
alleged sectionalism in this county has
always been the courthouse and the west
ern side against the eastern side. And
that our understanding is correct, we
have not the slightest doubt, because we
got it from The Herald, the principal and
only exponent of sectionalism in this
county of which we have any knowledge.
Now listen, again: 1T will be noted,"
saws The Herald, THAT Mr.. Johnson CAR
RIED EVERY PRECINCT IN THE COUNTY,
except Rock Hill, showing CONCLUSIVE
LY, we think, that SECTIONAL lines were
drawn, and that had Mr.. Cherry been
from ANY OTHER community he would
perhaps have received better support"
Excuse us, but we are forced to stop for
moment to laugh.)
Rock Hill always stands by her own
candidates. That is commendable. Al
most anybody will vote for man he
knows in preference to one he does not
know. That is prudent. The vote in
Yorkville was light, showing that there
was not much interest. Johnson is bet
ter known here than Cherry, and beat
Cherry here about AZ to ]. In Rock Hill
Cherry is better known than Johnson,
and there he beat Johnson 4! to l. Any
thing surprising in that? To us it ap-
pears perfectly reasonable.
At Coates's Tavern, the most easterly
precinct in the county, Johnson got l6
and Cherry got l. At Smyrna, the most
westerly precinct in the county,. johnson
got 26 and Cherry got l. Did Smyrna, on
the western side, vote against the eastern
side for sectional reasons? Yes? Then
what about Coates's Tavern?
And "Johnson carried every precinct
in the county save one." On which side
is the sectionalism-the side of the one,
or the side of all the balance? Speaking
for the balance, THE Enquirer will say
that it is conscious of no sectionalism on
their part against the one. Speaking for
the one, will The Herald say that it is
conscious of no sectionalism on its part
against the balance? If The Herald says
no, then we will inform it that sectional
ism is evidently poor issue, and if it
says yes, then we will ask it to please
point out and exactly define the alleged
sectionalism, as indicated by the election
last Saturday.
But again, is there really any sectional
ism? We confess that we are unable to
detect in the result of last Saturdays

The fact that small crop Of cotton
brings more money in the aggregate than
a large one, emphasizes the necessity of a
trust after the Roddey plan. Among 9th
or things it proves conclusively that If
the farmers could do no better, they could
raise full crop one year. and not a bale
the next, and get more money for the
one years crop than they now get for the
crop of two years. Not only this, it
would be at just half the labor and ex-
pense. This is not theory. 1t is proved
by absolutely reliable figures.
