where swamp lands have been granted by
the State and the grantee fails 10 pay
all arrearases of taxes by January 21st
1890. the land becomes forfeited and
vested in the State Board OF Education
and no suit or proceeding of any kind
shall be necessary for such forfeiture
but it shall be absolute from the date
set, January 21st, 1890.
In the case in question the Cedar Co,
a lumber concern, had bought some
swamp lands from the State Board of
Educa ton, lands vested in the board .ac
cording to this law. Parrish had title
to the same lands founded upon series
of deeds going back TO the original grant.
The Judgment of the lower court was in
favor of the party holding under the
grant and measure conveyances. The facts
were found by consent and the ease sub
mittcd TO test the act of 1889.

of the profession. The more intelligent
people of this day and time do not wait
for tooth to begin to ache before they
go to the dentist. They are able to ap-
preciate the value Of good teeth In their
relation to good health, and many peo-
Die make it rule to have their teeth
looked over and kept In repair. There
is much more filling Of teeth than there
used to be; also the making Of plates is
more common. It is noticeable fact
that many otherwise intelligent people
neglect their teeth until forced to 80 to
dentist, when they learn for the first
time what might have been done for
them had they attended to the matter
sooner. These people all develop into
first-class missionaries, and invariably
send other members Of their families to
get the benefit Of advantages they have
lost for themselves through ignorance
or carelessness. And 80 it is that the
dentists continue to grow busier and
buster. There is certainly no danger
Of the arrival Of the time when they
will be idle because Of no more work

A dispatch Of Friday to the London
Morning Leader from Sofia says that a
serious engagement is reported to have
taken place near Kastoria. Captain
Tschakelarof, With thirty-four Reyolu-
tionists, had been hiding in the village
Of Dubeny, near Kastoria. A spy re-
vealed his presence and 500 Turkish
troops, supported by Bashi-Bazouks.
were hurriedly despatched to surround
the village. Meanwhile Capt. Tscha-
kelarof was warned and withdrew to-
ward a bridge guarding a defile near
Berik. Here he disposed his men INTO
flanking bodies aid awaited attack.
This duly came. The fighting was OF
the most desperate character. The
Turkish firing line was decimated. and
many were lost in the river. Alto
gether 80 were killed and a large num-
ber wounded. The latter were removed
to neighboring villages. During the
fight the rebels were reinforced by
seventy men, and this enabled them to
withdraw safely to the mountains. The
news caused a sensation among the
Macedonians. Travellers from the FROM
tier say that the roads on the Bulga-
rian side are being rapidly repaired by
large gangs Of workmen. This is most
significant Of coming events"

Jury In the Case Of Wilson's Slayer
Returns Verdict Of Manslaughter.
After remaining out; FROM Thursday
night at II o'clock until Sunday after
noon, the jury in the case Of Arthur
L. Bishop, charged with the murder OF
Thomas Wilson came out with sealed
verdict. When the verdict. was read
In open court, it turned out to be for
manslaughter, and the Judge sentenced
the prisoner to five years imprisonment
at hard labor. 1t Is understood that
on the first ballot the jury: stood five
for murder in the second degree, four
for acqnittal and two Undecided. Then
it changed to nine for manslaughter
and three for acquittal and came very
near making a mistrial in that status.
The Judge. however, refused to allow
a disagreement. The prisoner, under
the verdict could have been sent to the
penitentiary for twenty years. 1t Is
not believed that there will be any ap-
peal. -,

THERE has been much surprise at the
refusal of Chief Justice Pope to grant
bail to Col. James n. Tillman. Many
people assumed as q matter Of course
that in view of Tillman's position and
influential connections, the chief justice
would not think Of treating him as
anybody else ought to be treated. AS
matters now stand the situation is at
least hopeful and If the jury before
which the case will be tried will do Its

FROM CHESTER TO LENOIR.

The Carolina and North Western is
now a standard gauge road throughout
its whole length from Chester to Le-
noir, and the little narrow gauge Is a
thing Of the past. The change was
completed Monday evening at o'clock
and the mail train passed Yorkville
yesterday morning on its first unin-
terrupted trip to Lenoir. 1t was rum
ming about an hour late at this point,
and was not expected to return until
several hours after schedule time.
News Of the approach of the first
standard gauge train last Saturday af-
ternoon aroused widespread interest in
Yorkville, and a crowd Of several hun
dred people, including many ladies',
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1903-02-25

gathered at the depot. to welcome its
arrived. The train, was about one hour
late; but the crowd was interested, and
held its ground. The standard gauge
track had only been completed to the
Liberty street crossing. The little mar
row gauge mail train stopped at York
Vile on It's southwark trip Saturday,
and waited here to take the passengers
from the southbound train on to Ches-
ter. In accord with previously arranged
plans; the narrow gauge freight came
down and went into its siding and the
mail train backed up in front Of it. An
hour later the standard gauge material
train pulled up from the north, and af-
ter about half an hour 1t was followed
by the standard gauge mail train. This
made up four trains, the two last Of
the narrow gauge kind ever to be seen
in Yorkville and the two first Of the
standard gauge kind to make their ap-
pearance on this road, since the early
'70's.
All the trains having arrived, the
1
down the road, and the trackmen pro-
ceeded to tear up switches and adjust
them Is such manner as to allow the
larger engines to follow. Because Of
unavoidable delays, there was still a
large shipment Of iron behind, and for
a distance Of about fifteen miles be-
tween Yorkville and Chester the rail-
road people had to adopt the expedient
Of widening the narrow gauge to stand
ard gauge. This was why the four
trains were assembled at Yorkville.
/ The plans Of the contractors contem-
plated going through to Chester with
the work Of widening the track dur
ing Sunday, so as to put what
is hereafter to be the regular train in
position to commence its northbound
trip on schedule Monday morning. But
there was slip in calculations and
as the final spike was not driven until
late Monday afternoon, the regular trip
\ that would have otherwise been made
that day was lost.
Although the standard gauge rolling
!stock that has been provided for the
changed condition IS, second hand, 1t
1 really seems. to be in good condition.
Both engines and passenger coaches
formerly belonged to the4southern; and
some Of the coaches were evidently OF
a very high class. They do not yet
] show signs Of either much use or abuse
Until the track is gotten in first-class
shape, It fs expected that all trains on
this road will run late; but as the work
up to this time Of laying rails, spikine
down and surfacing UP. etc., has been
done with the greatest care and skill
/ there is reason to believe that regular
1 schedules will be established within
the next few weeks.

THE general assembly still lacks con-
siderable of measuring up the size OF

itself very well recently by passing the
first dog bill that ever received the
sanction of that body, and it was be-
lieved that the senate which Is COM
monty held to be broader and more
intelligent body than the house, would
Of course pass the bill. But the senate
failed to come up to expectations. 1t
was not quite up to the standard OF
craftsmanship that has been attained
by the house. There was tie vote on
the bill-14 to 14-and the lieutenant
governor broke the tie by siding. with
the dogs. But still there is ground for
encouragement. A few more years OF
education along this line, and the ten
dency Of legislation will very likely be
In the direction Of industry and CIV
ilization. We cannot expect to make
too much progress all at once.

claimed that this amounted to a re-
duction of pay during his term Of Of
flee, which was in violation Of the con-
stitution. The committee, however,
took cobnizance of the fact that the
Judge served four years for $4,000 a
year when he had the privilege Of re-
signing at any time he might. have con-
sidered the pay too small for his valua-
bic services and actually stood for re-
election when he knew there was nc
question, but that he could receive only
$4,000 a year. The amount involved IN
the ex-judge's claim was s2,O0o-s50O a
year for the first four years Of his SER
vice,
