Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-11-06

follows: Two young white farmers who
live near Gaffney, named Charley Smith
and - Byrd, had spent the day in that
town and started home, very much in
toxicated, in wagon together. About
three miles from Gaffney they commen-
ced quarreling and fighting, and the finale
was that Byrd drew pistol and shot
Smith three times, killing him instantly.
Byrd has been arrested and lodged in the
Cherokee county Jail.
Flanagan's Tomatoes Cornered.
Gastonia Gazette: The canning indus
try of Flanagan & Company, at Bowling
Green, S. c., is one which deserves success
and is apparently winning it. Edgar
Love q Company, of Gastonia, have just
closed trade with them for their entire
seasons product of canned tomatoes.
This is the third season this firm has
handled the Flanagan canned goods.
Hitherto they have canned both beans
and cherries which proved very popular
on this market but these crops failed this
year and the company's entire pack is
Ii mited to tomatoes, of which they put up
some 300 cases. Twice that much could
have been put up but for the great scarcity
of cans ON the market. All these Flanagan
goods have good reputation among those
who use them, and they are ready sellers.
Death of MIR. Plexico.
Mr.. w. Lee Plexico died at Sharon, on
Thursday morning last, of consumption,
aged 25 years months and 8 days.
Mr.. Plexico was formerly in the rail-
road business, and was located at York.
vile for sometime as assistant OF the o.
r. & G.. agency. He was young man OF
fine character and was wellli liked. He
gained some considerable local reputa-
ton as an amateur composer OF music,
and in this connection it will be re-
membered that he was the composer of
the music for Mr.. Hobbs's song: "Till-
mans Pitchfork." He had been confined
to his bed with consumption for many
weeks, and his untimely cutting of, es-
pecially from life so full of promise, is
peculiarly sad.
Always In Working Order.
Before discharging the grand jury last
Tuesday, Judge Benet gave that body
some information that will be of interest
to a great many people who have hereto
fore been confused on the points touched.
His honor explained that although there
would not be another term of court un-
til next spring, the grand jurors continue
as such until the qualification OF their
successors. Should occasion arise, 1t is
not only perfectly competent, but it is the
80 ho nd ir,ryy
together and consider any matter that
might require attention. Not only this,
the grand jurors are to continue their
general supervision of the peace and
well-being of the county, and report to
their successors, or at the next term Of
the court, just the same as if they would
have reported at the present term.
The Original Package Shop.
The Tirzah original package shop has
not been re-opened yet. Judge Simon
toms order has been served on Detective
Newbold and Deputy Sheriff Harshaw.
and demand has been made on Detective
Newbold and Policeman Steele for the
delivery of the seized liquors. Detective
Newbold, however, is rather deliberate
about the matter. He is not exactly GER
tain whether he should obey the order or
not. At any rate, that is the way it ap-
pears; but that he will turn over the Ii
.uuor, and that before he is ruled for con-
tempt, is altogether probable. Solicitor
Henry does not think that the original
package people are doing the right thing
by the state. 1.-THE case was continued
on the motion of the defendants" says
the solicitor. "For reasons of my own
made no objections. Furthermore, 1
have respected, and propose to respect,
the orders of the Federal court, and it
looks as if they should respect the state
court. They can cartainly do no less than
to keep their shop closed until the hear
ing on December s." The probability is
that the original package people will re-
open again as soon as possible, regard
less of any consideration which might or
n;oht not be dine to the state court.
