TRESPASS NOTICE.

There are frequent inquiries as to
the punishment for trespass and as to
what constitutes legal notice. The
following extract from an act approved
February 2, 1898, includes the desired
information
That every entry upon the lands OF
another, after notice from the owner
or tenant, shall be misdemeaner, pun
ishable by fine not exceeding 500, or
Imprisonment with hard labor on the
public roads of the county not exceed
ing thirty days. The notice may be
verbal or written; but in such cases
must be proven, and it is further or
dained that if lands are posted in
four conspicuous places on the lands
and the fact of posting is advertised
once week for four successive weeks
in any newspaper circulating in the
county where such lands are situated,
proof of the posting and of such
advertisement within II months prior
to the entry, is conclusive proof of no.
tice against any one making an entry.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1899-12-09

- On account of its unusual length,
the presidents message has been pub
lished in full by but few southern pa
pers. The South Carolina dailies have
only published more or less extensive
synopses. The metropolitan papers of
the north, however, publish it in full.
We have seen fit to give only short
synopsis for the reason that compare
lively few of our readers would care
to read it all, even if furnished with
The opportunity. There is nothing es'
pecially sensational in the paper; but
at the same time, like all other docu'
ments from this high source-the pres.
ident of the United States-it is of
marked ability. To one thoroughly
familiar with the subjects discussed, it
is also extremely interesting. The
most noteworthy political straw stick
ing out of the paper is the reference
to the suppression of trusts. Here
the president forestalls the anticipated
campaign cry of the Democrats on
that question. His talk is fair enough
but it is more or less meaningless, for
the situation seems to be such that
neither the Republican nor the Demo
cratic party would really dare to use
the means that would be necessary to
suppress trusts, and to continue the
application of these means to kindred
corporations which would necessarily
fall under the same ban. Aside from
this the message appears to be states
manlike throughout, and although
there are many points in which Demo
Gratis can and do honestly differ, it is
likely to prove the guiding inspiration
of the Republican party, at least until
President McKinley's successor is elec-
ted.

The ROBERTS CASE.

The question as to whether Brigham
H. Roberts, the polygamous Mormon,
who has been elected to the house OF
representatives from Utah, shall be al
lowed to take his seat, has been occu.
plying the attention, not only Of the
house of representatives, but of the
country this week.
Roberts, who has three wives, was
elected as Democrat but for once
the issues involved are higher than
mere party expediency. These issues
include questions of morality, and
questions of statute and constitutional
law, which involve perplexing compli-
cations.
On the face of his credentials, there
was no doubt of Roberts's right to be
sworn in but at the same time there
was no doubt that if Roberts is guilty
of the practice of polygamy in viola
ton of the constitution and laws OF
his state and of the laws of the United
States, he should be expelled |; and in
view of the precedent to be established
the question was whether Roberts
should be excluded before taking the
oath, or allowed to take the oath and
then be expelled.
How the house declined to allow
Roberts to take the oath on Monday
has already been stated. He was
stood aside, pending further consider
alton of the question as to whether be
be regularly sworn in. On Tuesday
came up the question as to whether he
should be sworn in pending the report
of special committee on the charges
preferred against him.
Messrs. Taylor, of Ohio; Richard
son, of Tennessee and Roberts, him
self, were the principal speakers. Mr..
Taylor argued to show that upon the
facts alleged the house has the power
to stop Roberts from taking the oath.
He warned the house that after Rob-

erts should be seated, it would take a
full two-thirds vote to expel him, and
there was danger that this might not
be secured. Mr.. Richardson argued
that Roberts's credentials being regu-
lar and from sovereign state, the
the house could not refuse to seat him ;
but could, if it afterward found that
Roberts was guilty of crime, expel
him. Mr.. Roberts said that he had
not been convicted of misdemeanor
since 1889, and after that time the
president had twice proclaimed amnes.
ty to all offenders who had been con-
victed under the Edmunds- Tucker act.
Therefore, there was no court record
against him. If he was guilty of crime
since that time, he wanted to know
WHY it was there had been no legal
prosecution. He said he came before
the bar of congress not begging a priv,
ilege; but demanding right. He
claimed that the raising of this question
at this time was the result of con-
spiracy among a small coterie of peo'
pie who, if they had been inspired by
honest motives, would have proceeded
in the regular way, prescribed by law.
He also charged that the president
had appointed and that the senate had
confirmed as federal officers, citizens of
Utah against whom the same charges
were pending.
There was more discussion of the
question, and finally Richardson's res
olution to seat Roberts and investigate
his case afterward, was defeated by a
vote of 247 to SO. Taylor's resolution
to have Roberts stand aside until his
case could be investigated by special
com mittee, was carried by vote OF
3O2 to 81, the minority consisting of
30 Democrats, l Republican and l
Silver party man.
The only South Carolina Democrat
who voted with the minority was Rep
resentative Norton. His vote, how.
ever, is not necessarily to be taken as
indicating either sympathy for Roberts
or loyalty to fellow.Democrat. Al
though guilty of polygamy, and on &C.
count of such crime having no right
to seat in the house, still Roberts
appears to have the law and the con-
stitution on his side, technically, at
least, and will have, until convicted
anew since his last pardon by the pres
ident. The deplorable effect of ad-
hitting on equal terms with the rep
resentatives of the decent people of the
nation, however, man known to be a
Ibigamist, is apparent at glance.

higher institutions, and declared that

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1899.

- The Gaffney Ledger, of Tuesday,
apologies for its recent break with ref
erence to the action of the Gafney
town council in "promoting" its inten-
dant and wardens as heretofore ex-
planned, and asks for forgiveness. In
explanation it tries to save itself all it
can, as is quite natural. This thing
of newspaper owning up to an error,
however, is something so new and
novel in this part of the country, and
withai so pleasing, that notwithstand'
ing this apology might have come
with even better grace than it did, we
are inclined to fully and freely accept
it, and hereby do so.

Lewis went from Columbia to the
South Carolina conference at Orange
burg.
Mr.. Robert Youngblood, of Tirzah,
who was to leave few weeks ago for
Tampa, Fla, did not get off until
Wednesday night on account of the
yellow fever in Florida.
Mr.. B. NJ. Dobson, now of the rail-
way mail service, is expecting soon TO
be appointed to clerkshlp in the
census department at Washington.
He made application for the position
sometime ago, and received permis-
sion to stand the necessary examina-
ton. Later, the director of the GEN.
sus advised him that inasmuch as he
had already scored such high aver
age at civil service examination, it
would not be necessary for him to
stand another. With this Mr.. Dob
sons name was placed on the list of
elligibles, aud he has good reason to
hope that, when the proper time
comes, he will get something especial
ly desirable.
THE ENQUIRER has heard of one
farmer who does not think he is much
worse off this year than he was last.
That is Mr.. B. F. Merritt, who lives 81
miles south west of Rock Hill, on the
old Captain Bill Moore place, which he
now owns. Last year, with three
mules, he made % bales of cotton,
plenty of corn, etc. This year be has
sold about 500 worth of oats. He
has out % bales of cotton and consid-
erably more corn than he made last
year. As to whether Mr.. Merritt has
been especially favored over others in
his neighborhood we have not sufti-
cient information to warrant our say
ing; but anyhow we extend to him
congratulations.
In a personal letter, dated at Gar
nett, S. c., December 4, Mr.. 81. c.
Smith relates that he had been at work
handling bird dogs for about two
weeks. He boarded for about week
but after that went to "keeping BATCH"
with two Negro boys to cook for him
until he gets hungry, when he cooks
for himself. He says that any man
who can "keep batch" in contentment
ought to be tied to stake and shot.
Garnett is about three miles from the
Savannah river. The country around
there consists of fine farming lands,
rich and level and admirably adapted
to the use of agricultural machinery,
of which, however, there is none TO be
seen. There are also thousands of
acres of uncleared lands. The far
mers raise but little cotton and no
wheat. Their crops consist principal
ly of corn, potatoes, sugar cane, rice,
oats, peas and peanuts, the last men
toned crop being used principally for
feeding horses and hogs. Game is
abundant. 1t includes deer, foxes,
squirrels, opossums, turkeys and par
tridges. Up to the time of the writ
ing of the letter, there had been no
frost and many kinds of garden vege-
tables were still plentiful. MIR. Smith
expects to return home for Christmas.
