THE sTEvENsoN-GUNTER MATTER.
Newberry Bar Association holds Meeting
and Gives Reasons why Special Term
OF Corrt Was not Held in April.

1t will be remembered that during
the early part of this year the Newber,
ry Bar Association asked for special
: term of the Court of Common Pleas in
order to clear a crowded docket. The
! petition was granted and Hon. w. F.
! Stevenson, then speaker of the House
of Representatives, was appointed Judge.
Some time after this the Bar asked
that the order granting the special
term be annulled, which was done.
Mr.. Stevenson is now in the race for
attorney-general, and on the stump Mr.
u. X. Gunter, his opponent, has mace
the assertion that the Newberry Bar
asked that the special term not be held
because Mr.. Stevenson, the judge ap-
pointed, was a corporation lawyer be-
ing attorney for the Seaboard Air Line
Railway.
The Newberry Bar held a meeting
Yesterday morning, at which time a
statement was gotten up giving the
reasons which prompted them in asking
for the special term, and then for It's
withdrawal. This report will be sent
Mr.. Stevenson and Mr.. Gunter.
The report states that even before
the order was issued granting the
special term a movement was on 1ooI
to have this extra term called OIL Tor
the reason that it was found that 1t
would not suit many members OF the
Rar AS soon as the order was made
known a meeting was held on March
25th for the purpose of considering the
advisability of asking that the order be
annulled. In this meeting the reasons
advanced were, first, inconvenience to
the Bar, and then that agricultural con-
ditions had so changed as seriously to
affect the convenience of jurors. The
objection against MI. Stevenson on
account of his connection with the rail-
road was suggested by only three men,
bers of the Bar, representing two firms.
Even these expressed the utmost conf
dence in his personal ability and lnteg-
rity. They stated that there were some
cases against the Seaboard Air Line
and other railways which they did not
wish Mr.. Stevenson to try. But in the
whole discussion there was disclaimer
of any intention to reflect upon the
character of Mr.. Stevenson as man
or his ability as a lawyer.

MIR FLOYD BUYS EXCHANGES
Now owns Telephone Lines In Flfteen
Towns-Wiil Improve and Perfect
His System.
The State of Wednesday contained

The State of Wednesday contained
the following:
cit was reported here yesterday that
the Citizens Telephone company OF
Spartanburg and the Home Telephone
company of Greenville were sold at
auction on the 23rd and 24th instant at
court houses of Greenville and Spartan
burg, respectively, by Mr.. A. G. Fur
man, trustee, to satisfy mortgage for
$50, 600 given on both plants by L. W..
Floyd, Of Newberry, and G.. A. Brown
ing, of Greenville. Both of the plants
were purchased by Mr.. Floyd, the
Spartanburg plant for $4,000 and the
Greenville for $4,000, subject to two
mortgages aggregating S5,2A. Both
of these plants were built to compete
with the Southern Bell Telephone and
telegraph company, and were quite
PROSPEROUS for time. There were but
two bidders on the plants, Mr.. J. h.
Haynesworth, OF Greenville, and Mr..
Floyd. =,
Representatives of the Southern Bell
Telephone and Telegraph company at
tended the sale, but took no part IN
the bidding. Mr.. Floyd will probably
continue to operate the plants although
he has as yet given out no statement
for publication.
Mr.. Floyd when seen yesterday said
that the above is practically correct.
With these two systems he now owns
exchanges in fifteen different towns
and cities of this State, as follows:
Prosperity, Newberry, Clinton, Union,
Pacolet, Spartanburg, Greenville, For
est Inn, Greers, Piedmont, Pelzer,
williamson, Pickens, Easley, and
Travellers Rest.
Mr.. Floyd has already begun work
on the further improvement of his sys-
tenn. He says that he intends within
the next few months to connect all has
various exchanges together and with
Columbia. He will also put in metal,
lie current and double wire.
This news will be received with
pleasure by the people of Newberry
We have long felt the need of gooc
telephone connections with other towns
and especially with Columbia. Mr.
Floyd is to be congratulated upon hiE
enterprise and ability in this matter.

Spriug Fever.

Spring fever is another name for
biliousness. 1t is more serious than
most people think. A torpid liver and
inactive bowels mean poisoned sys'
tenn. If neglected, serious illness may
follow such symptoms. DeWitt's Little
Early Risers remove all danger by
stimulating the liver, opening the
bowels and cleaning the system of i'm.
purities. Safe pills. Never grippe. Il
have taken DeWit:'s Little Early RiseCs

The only time there has been any
slip in the cog of prosperity in the
United States during the past several
years was when the coal strike was
inaugurated five months ago. Politics
had nothing to do with it, although
the Democrats attempted to make it
appear that it did, and the strike was
finally settled only after President
Roosevelt had made up his mind to
settle it. President Roosevelt can
always be counted on to take firm
stand fer whatever is best for the
whole people. He knew the coal
strike was injuring the country, and
settled it without iptimating which

New York, Oct. 24--A strong point
was scored by the defense in the trial
Of Roland B. Molineux when Justice
Lambert ruled out the Barnet letters.
Justice Lambert decided that as evi.
denoe the letters must be excluded Is
improper, but that he was willing to
admit them simply as q standard Of
comparison in handwriting. The
counsel for the defense was highly
pleased with this decision. which Is
in line with that OF the court Of ap.
peals, which held that the testimony
relative to the letters given at the
first trial was irrelevant.

ABOUT AGREED.
SALOON MEN MAY CLOSE UP
AT 1880 P. 81. SHORTLY.

The retail liquor dealers did NOT
meet yesterday afternoon, as intend =
ed, the meeting being postponed IN.
til this evening.
The wholesale dealers did meet, how
ever, and it was agreed on an ordi-
nance to close the saloons at IL 80
O'Clock every night except Saturday,
when they will close at 10 O'Clock.
They will reopen on week days at 5 a.
m. As to the Sunday closing it is
against the law to keep open on Sun
day, and the officers are presumed to
enforce it.
Il is understood that the saloon men
will not be so easy to satisfy, and a
number of them will fight the pro-
posed ordinance, as they want to keep
open all night If they see fit. 1t is
probable that tonight's meeting will
decide their position on IL. The
wholesalers, IL a majority Of their
trade agrees on the hours named, will
ask the council to pass the ordinance.

of whom will not sell at any price,

with more than their share Of the tax

is not done, and the assessment will
be exposed IL not correct. The city
officials whose property is underas-
sessed must give 1t in correctly this
time, or they will be exposed. A hint
to the wise is sufficient, 1t is bad
enough for the taxpayers to have to
pay the salaries of such lot of para
sites without letting them skin the
city on taxes.
The street question, however, to
revert to the first matter discussed, is
one TO which every citizen should give
attention. The streets in the business
portion Of the city should be perma-
nently improved, which can be only
by bond issue. II they are it will
create demand for the property ada
cent, and this demand will increase
the values and rent and likewise the
taxes, and an increase in the taxes col
lected will reduce the tax rate. The
improvements are to be made by q
bond issue, and the saving in repairs
and the increase in taxes will more
than pay the interest and leave the nee
essary amount for the sinking fund.
1t will be an Improvement that will
enable the city to make money, and at
the same time give us better and pref
tier streets, and expand the business
center.
The bond issue should carry.

GOOD JUDICIAL ADVICE.

A Lexington judge in instructing
the grand Jury has given out some
good advice about people being too
hasty to take the law into their own
hands, and also about officers OF the
law being too prone to disregard their
oaths and allow prisoners to be taken
from them, and conniving at other IN
fractions OF the law. He referred to
the disgrace which would attend the
giving up Of prisoners when those who
held them in custody have sworn to
protect them with their lives and the
terrible alternative Of either being re-
creant to this oath or being forced TO
take the life of some friend or neigh
Dor who might be leading 3 mob
against the Jail. He said 20 the jury
he was addressing: 81 suppose there
is not one Of you twelve men who
would be willing to assume office and
then have ii said that although You
had given your solemn oath before
God to protect these prisoners with
your life, you had been unfsithful to
your charge, had violated your oath
had shown yourself in the face Of dan
ger q coward, and had connived at the
death Of 3 man whose life you should
have saved. l do not say that a man
who acts in mob is the worst citi-
zen, for successful mobs have ordina-
rily been under the control of the best
citizens, but there are some good
men who seem willing TO place re-
sponsibilities upon the shoulders of
others as officers which they would
not willingly assume themselves A
man who is brought face to face with
such situation should meet it as hi S
oath and duty would require. II this,
then, is the situation, there must be
something wrong with this method Of
taking the law in ones own hands,
as the expression is"
Another matter he touched on was
the negligence Of juries and officials in
furnishing boys who committed so call
ed trivial crimes. Boys charged with
larceny are released and soon. embold-
ened and encouraged by the lepiency,
develop into burglars, and murderers
IL needs be, as did the two boys who
recently killed a prominent citizen
of Lexington whose house they were
burglarizing.
