Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1902-07-30
Wednesday, July 80, 1902:

the court house yesterday at noon be-
fore Magistrate S. N. Johnson, of Beth
ell township. The prosecutor was Mr..
W. S. Hogue. Major James F. Hart
and Mr.. F. P. Mccain appeared for the
defendant, and ]. S. Brice, Esq, for
the prosecution. The magistrate
brought up the question as to whether.
being out of his Bethel jurisdiction, he
had the right to compel York county
jurors to serve on the case. Counsel
agreed that there was nothing in the
| law to warrant jurors in refusing to
serve. By this time it was 1920 o'clock.
and because of the delay incident to
the summoning of jurors, further pro
ceedings were adjourned until 2.3O
o'clock. Because of the arrival Of the
hour at which it was necessary for THE
ENQUIRER to close it's forms, 1t was i'm
practicable to get a report of the pro-
ceedings in time for this issue.

For Representatives .
There has been much talk during the
| past few days looking to putting more
candidates in the field for the house of
representatives. Among the names un-
der consideration have been Capt. W..
B. Smith, Of Glover; DR.. ]. B. Johnson,
Of Rock Hill; Mr.. D. G. Stanton, Of
Bethel; Mr.. w. S. Wilkerson, Of Hick-
ory Grove; Mr.. John L. Rainey, Of Sha-
ron: Mr.. T. M. Allen, of Harmony, and
perhaps others. So far as is known
not one of these gentleman has any
desire to enter the field or to go to Co
lumbia: but all of them are being SUBJ
jected to more or less pressure.
Yorkyille and Tirxnh Road.
The statement that the grading work
has been almost completed on the
Yorkville and TirZah road was mis-
take. The grading work on the Simril
Robinson and Poor House hills has
been completed: but the Mckinney
hill remains untouched. There Is still
a large amount of heavy work to be
done there. Considering the require
mentS, but a small quantity of rock has
yet been hauled for macadam purposes,
and it Is very important that the people
interested should at once get down to
business and haul as much rock as pos
sible. The more rock the people haul
the better will be the road they will
get.
An Viewed by DR.. Weber.
During his speech at Chester last
Saturday, Colonel ]. H. Tillman read
the following letter that he had receiv
ed from Rev. DR.. Samuel A. Weber,
previous to the opening Of the Yorkville
meeting on Friday: II hope you will
not take too seriously the charge Of
falsehood made publicly against you at
campaign meeting yesterday. The is
sue made by quoted correspondence does
not require or deserve your further con-
sideration. So it seems to an outsider.
do not know you personally, nor
would I have you infer from this note
that I am partisan on your candi-
dacy. I simply write this in the inter-
est Of fairness and peace"

The Candidates Were Pleased.
The report of the morning speeches
Of the state campaignerS, as published
in THE ENQUIRER of last Friday after
noon. was the most complete that has
yet been published. The morning ses-
sion adjourned at l o'clock, the paper
appeared on the street at g. and people
up the western division Of the South
ern were reading what had been said
by the candidates for the minor offices,
while the audience in the court house
was still listening to the speeches of
candidates for governor. Quite num-
ber of candidates bought papers, and
almost invariably they expressed sur
prise at the enterprise Of a county pa
per in handling the matter so expedi-
tiously and pleasure at the fact that
everybody could get pretty clear idea
Of what they had had to say. They
were agreed that the report was gener-
ally the most satisfactory that they
had yet seen Of a campaign meeting.
Had it not been for the necessity Of
catching the mail at $50 o'clock, the re-
port would have included all the
speeches of the day: but it was not con-
sidered desirable to dsappoint the hum
dreds of people who were known to be
waiting at various postoffices for their
papers. and consequently the latter
end Of the story had to he postponed
Reports of the remaining speeches
as published today are fuller and more
satisfactory than any that have here
tofore been made for these candidates.
