Chairman Tompkins the necessary pledge

SESSIONS COURT.

The report in The ENQUIRER OF
Wednesday covered all the cases thai
were tried in the court of general sessions
during the term just closed. 1t was ex'
pected that one more case would come up
on Tuesday evening but on account OF
the absence of witnesses it was continued
Lizzie Adamson, convicted OF keeping
a gaming house, was sentenced to pay q
fine of S35 or go to Jail for two months.
She is now in Jail.
In the case of G. J. Hoke, tried on the
charge of assault with intent to Kill, and
convicted of assault of high and aggra-
waited nature, the court imposed SEN
teuce of $40 fine or 80 days in Jail. This
case grew out of row between Mr.. Hoke
and the road hands on account OF the
cleaning out of a ditch running nearby
MIR. Hoke's house. The township board
of commissioners ordered Road Overseel
Lilly to clean the ditch out and Mr.. Lilly
did as he was instructed. Mr.. Hoke fill
ed the ditch up again, and subsequently
threatened Mr.. Lilly with shotgun. In
imposing sentence his honor said in effect
that it was not his desire to punish exact
ly, but he wanted to teach lesson. The
road overseer was acting under the In
structions of those in higher authority,
and it was his duty to carry out orders
If he should do anything that was uniaw'
full, then those who thought themselves
aggrieved, should appeal to the law,
which furnishes an adequate remedy.
Mr.. Hoke, through his attorneys, gave
notice of an appeal, and the court allow
ed him ten days in which to get up his
fine.
Another interesting case was that OF
Walter Montgomery, charged with as
sault and battery with intent to kill. The
facts in this case were not fully develop
ed for the reason that Montgomery plead
guilty. 1t seems, however, that the crime
was committed while the young man was
crazy with liquor. He went to the house
of a relative and fired his revolver about
promiscuously, greatly endangering the
lives of those about. After he became
sober and realized the enormity OF his
offence, his better nature was aroused and
he was repentant. He indicated his in
tention to plead guilty, 60 the chaingang
and serve out his sentence like man.
Those who know him say that the au'
thorities will make no mistake in making
him trusty from the start.
Another case of considerable impor-
tancs was that of George Poag, charged
with disposing of property under lein'
The lein was verbal one and it was
question as to whether or not the statute
on the subject of written liens applied
The case was argued at length, and at the
request of Major Hart, the court instruc'
ted the jury to bring in verdict OF moi
guilty.
The court of general sessions was ad-
journed sine die on Wednesday after
noon.

morning were devoted by the court tc

McLaurin said the other day that
while Ellerbe may make mistakes, there
is no nobler or more incorruptible man
in South Carolina. From all we have
seen or read of the governor, we are
prepared to endorse that statement.
Governor Ellerbe is not Of the hail
fellow, well-met order; but he has
high conception of duty, and the few
errors that he has made are those
rather of head than heart.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
GAFFNEY, July THE only prisoner
which the sheriff of Cherokee had In Gus
tody, has escaped. Tom DeGrafe nried,
a York Negro, charged with burglary and
larceny at Blacksburg, some time ago,
walked out of the Jail on Moneiay about
noon, and has not been heard from aiace.
The sheriff is very much exercised over
the escape of his only prisoner, and says
that the next one who gets away will be
smarter than Reese ever was. The steel
cells have arrived and have been placed
in the Jail, and it will be practically i'm
possible for anyone confined within them
to effect an escape.

The following dispatch from Cleve-
land, O., under date of Wednesday,
makes rather curious reading: "The
railroads have already begun to seize
coal for their own use, no matter to
whom it is consigned. Whole trains
are sent to the railroad yards and un-
loaded regardless of who the coal is
destined for. The confscation began
slightly at the first attack of the min
ers' strike, and is now becoming gen.
eral. Nearly every manufacturing
establishment in this city has been a
loser by this, and with some of them
the situation is so serious that the clos
ing of the works will soon be necessa-
ry. Coal consigned to the Otis Steel
company has been confscated, and as
the company has government con-
tract, it threatens to take the matter
into court. An effort was made this
morning by railroad men to take three
cars of coal from the sidetrack of the
Kilby Manufacturing company, which
has also a government contract, but
President Kilby frightened them away
by threats. The railroads take the coal
by virture of the fact that they carry
the United States mall"
- The big New York newspapers
have just worked out mysterious
murder case that defed the abilities OF
the entire police department. On the
Goth of June, some boys, playing
along one of the piers, found bundle
containing a portion of a human body.

"a Heavy Democratic Year"

Seth Low, the candidate of the
Citizens Union for mayor of Greater
New York, in speaking Of the rea-
sons why Greater New York went
Democratic, said, among other
things; ''rhe year has been heavy
Democratic year" 1t is true, yet
many will ask why it should be
true. Last year the Democrats
were defeated and the causes for
which they fought were said to have
been killed for all time. Not only
did this all happen, but the Re-
publicans were successful, having
elected Major Mckinley president,
and their theories having triumphed
at the polls. After they took the
reins of government into their hands
they began to carry out those poll
cies, which were radically different
from the ones advocated by the
Democrats, and which were to bring
prosperity and plenty to the land.
And for months the prosperity and
plenty have been in the land, say
the friends of the administration.
If all this is true, if all the dang
ers" that threatened the country
through a success of the Democratic
party have been removed and all
the blessings that were to come az
the result of the triumph Of the Re-
publicans are here, why should this
year of grace be a Democratic year,
If the people are happy and pros
porous why should they not vote
for those candidates for office thai
are in full sympathy with the ad
ADMINISTRATION and its measures rather
than for the candidates of the party
that is opposed to it and its meas
ures2 But the people are not happy
and prosperous; neither are the,
satisfied with the Mckinley admin
istration. And this 10 the reason
why this is Democratic year ant
not Republican one.-Salt LAX

The Salmon City Recorder says:
Mary Van Luven, convicted of an
assault with deadly weapon, for
shooting Mrs. Lena Hill, was SEN
fenced to two years ~ hard labor
in the penitentiary, the full extent
of the law under the conviction. Her
attorneys were all three present, but
contrary to all custom and prece-
dent, did not say one word in her
behalf. 1t looked positively inhu-
man. No one, of course, doubts
her guilt or the justice of her SEN
tence, and all concede that she is
fortunate to escape with a two
years sentence, and all know that
the most eloquent plea would not
have changed the sentence, but it
appeared to all spectators that in
her deep trial that this woman was
utterly deserted and alone--not a
friend on earth to utter one kind
word in her behalf" Evidently
Mrs. Van Luven does not possess
the winning ways Of Josie Kensler.

The Milwaukee Journal says that
political morality has been under
mined by a policy of legislation for one
class at the cost Of another; by grant
ing favors to some at the expense Of
others. The whole course Of legisla-
ton has been for the exaltation OF the
boss, the combines and the party. 1t
is time that the people had some at
tention; it is time that legislation
should proceed on principle and not
on expediency. The burdened classes
are nc longer submissive" The jour
nal is highland the time is nearly
here when the people must arise in
their might and assert their rights. II
they do not, the future Of the country
is dalk indeed. There is fast building
money oligarchy to serve which de-
grades tive masses worse than the
black man was in ante-bellum days
The people must assert themselves or
make up their minds to be slaves.
