Up and About.
Rock Hill correspondence of The News
and Courier: The last traces Of the small
pox fright are disappearing. Julian
johnson, the patient, is now allowed to
go on the street. He has the satisfaction
of knowing that, though only about IA
years old, he has attracted the attention
of every intelligent man in the state. A
few arms are still stiff few are to be
vaccinated again; but the smallpox chap
ter of the towns history is, it is hoped,
closed forever.
Court Postponed.
The regular term of the United States
district court, which was to have con-
vened in Greenvile on the first Monday
in February, has been indefinitely post

lieve that it is because Of the presence of
smallpox in the city at this time. Wit
nesses and others, who have been sum-
moned to appear in Greenville on the
first Monday in February, are instructed
to await the service of new and special
subpenas.

houses of Yorkville were closed on the
occasion, and the church was filled to
overhowing. Rev. A. N. Brunson officia-
ted. He read the regular burial service

remarks. The remains were followed to

throughout was solemn and impressive.
The RIoht and Wron1
That the ordinance passed by the town
council of Yorkville with reference to
health is an Ordinance" is quite certain.
Most anybody will agree to that PROPOSE
ton. The council has only to comply
with the law pertaining to the matter to
"ortlain" anything it pleases. And not
only that, any ordinance, however silly,
or however great may be the stretch Of
Jurisdiction, may be enforced as law so
long as it Is not questioned. But while the
council has this power, the citizen has
rights also. He has the right to 60 to the
courts, prove lack of jurisdiction on the
part of the council, and other irregularities
which might take away from improper
and ill-advised ordinances the force of law.
There is nothing that the town council
cannot do, maybe; but there are lots OF
things it can do wrong, and when 1t does
things wrong, the courts provide means
of redress
