A feature Of the defense in the case
of McKeown against the Southern
railroad the other day, was testimony
to show that 1t would have been i'm
possible for the engineer to have stop
ped the train in time to avoid hitting
Mr. McKeown even had 1t been possi-
BILE to see the unfortunate man on the
track. This was demonstrated by an
actual experiment some days ago.
Messrs J. 8. Sandifer, P. w. Love and
J. P. White went along with Mr.. L. K.
Baumgardner as a committee to make
lthe experiment. Messrs. Baumgardner
and Sandifer walked down the track
on the crossties outside the rails and
Messrs. Love and White remained In
the cab with the engineer. With the
headlight burning brightly the train
was started at the rate Of twenty miles
an hour. The point at which the Nc
Keown tragedy occurred is on a curve.
When the people on the cab saw those
on the track they threw out a light.
The distance was afterward measured
and found to be 210 feet. Next there was
an experiment on a straight line. The
men could be seen on the track dis
tance Of $50 feet and although the air
brakes were applied at once, the train
continued 500 feet before 1t came to a
stop.

The people of York county generally
and the members of the bar and lili-
gants especially, are under very niate-
rial obligations to the Honorable r,
C. Watts for his kind consideration in
giving them an extra week of the
court of common pleas.
Judge Watts has been on a strain
since last spring. He did not have an
opportunity to rest even during the
hot months of the summer, and al
though not compelled by law to give
this county more than two weeks,
when he learned Of the congested con-
dition of Calendar l, he consented, at
great personal discomfort and incon-
venience to relieve 1t as far as he was
able.
But this is not all. Litigants are pc
culiarly fortunate in having Judge
Watts to preside over their cases. He
is fair, firm, patient, able and has the
reputation of being the most correct
Judge on the circuit bench of South
Carolina. During service of twelve
years he has record Of having been re-
versed by the supreme court less fire.

bench.
Although many Of them have learn

to pay a considerable portion Of the
governments yearly expenses. The
cotton crop, valued for lint and seed at
six hundred millions. comes second,
while hay and wheat contend for the
third place. Combined, these two
crops will about equal in value the
corn crop. Notwithstanding the wheat
shows a lower production than any
year since 1900, the farm value is the
highest since 1881. Potatoes and bar
ley reach their highest production In
1904; save in 1902, the oat crop was
never so large by sixty million bushels.
The present crop OF rice promises a
yield Of 900,000,O00 pounds, 900, 900
more than ever before. Horses and
mules reach the highest point this
year, with an aggregate value exceed
ing 1854 million dollars. On the other
hand, cattle, sheep and hogs all show a
slight decline. The steady advance in
poultry leads to some astonishing fig
ures. The farmers hens now produce
one and two-third billions Of dozens Of
eggs and at the high average price Of
the year the hens during their busy
season lay enough eggs in a single
month to pay the years interest on
the national debt.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Next Monday is salesday for De-
cember. The county board Of COM
missioners holds It's regular monthly
meeting on the Wednesday following.
Coming as it does right on the day
Of the proposed entertainment, the wet
weather has no doubt proved quite a
disappointment to- the young people
who have been working so long and so
faithfully in preparation. for the pre-
sentatfon of Charles Aunt" tonight.
Ordinarily wet weather makes fall
ure of almost any gathering that might
have otherwise been a most pronounce
ed success. AS to whether such will
be the case tonight will depend upon
the consideration Of the local public.
The people Of Yorkville will not be
fair to themselves II they allow a lit
tie rain to set at nought all the time,
labor and efforts that have been ex-
pended for their entertainment, and II
is hoped that everybody will look at
the matter in this way. AS to whether
Charles Aunt" gets a good audience
will depend not so much on the wealth
er as upon the public appreciation OF
the young people who are giving the
entertainment and of the cause for
which the entertainment is being
given. .

and felt no insecurity. He had no
reason to believe that the trestle was
unsafe. The defense introduced In the
court a miniature model Of the Fishing
creek trestle, and several witnesses to
testify that a flange had been broken
off one Of the wheels of the front
truck of the engine. This break, ac-
cording to testimony was an old one,
suggesting that flaw had probably
existed for some time. Further tes-
timony along the same line with ref
erehce to the position Of cross ties
fallen timbers, ETC., was evidently in
tended to support the theory that
when the defective fiange suddenly
broke, the wheel was thrown off or
the cross ties, punching them together
smashing the trestle and throwing the
whole structure to the ground.
In reply to the defendants testimony
the plaintiff put UP three witnesses
Messrs. John Caldwell, John Robinson
and ]. D. Clark to swear that they saw
a negro break a fiange off the whee
with a sledge hammer. Testimony
was also introduced that there had
been no adequate repairs recently.
After hearing argument by counse
during yesterday afternoon and this
morning, the jury took the papers al
1885 this afternoon, and at 1925 re.
turned with a verdict for the plaintiff
in the sum Of $55,000.
In the case of Fred c. Poag, suing
the Southern railroad for injuries
sustained in the Fishing creek wreck
the jury returned consent verdict
for $1,000.
The court is now engaged on the
case Of Anthony Partlow VS.. the Ca.
tawba Power company. The suit ]!

ciRclJIT COURT.

In the case Of John G. McKeown, ad-
ministrator, suing the Southern rail-
road for $4,000 damages for the kill
ing Of ]. w. McKeown, the jury found
for the plaintiff in the sum Of $500, the
verdict being announced on the open
ing of court Wednesday morning.
The jury took the papers shortly ar
ter noe Tuesday and was unable to
reach an agreement for some hours
From such information as the reporter
has been able to gather and it comes
pretty straight, 1t appears that at first
the jury was about evenly divided, six
being in favor Of liberal verdict and
six being opposed to giving anything
at all. There was no division on the
question as to whether or not the train
was running with a headlight, the en-
tire jury being satisfied from the tes-
timony that the headlight was not
burning. The division was on the
question as to whether or not the de-
ceased was a trespasser at the time
he was killed and as to whether the
railroad company was guilty Of negli-
gence in the matter. One side attrib-
uted greater negligence to the deceas-
ed and the other side insisted other
wise The jurors who were opposed
to a verdict finally agreed to find for
the plaintiff on condition that the
amount be made nominal. Those IN
favor Of a verdict consented and each
Juror put the amount he was willing to
pay on a slip Of paper. Those who ia
vored the defendant put down 81 each.
Those favoring the plaintiff put down
various amounts up to $1,000. The
aggregate was divided by twelve, and
the result was about 1885. 1t was
agreed to make the verdict a round
sum and $500 was accepted as a satis-
factory amount. On the publication OF
the verdict the plaintiffs counsel gave
notice Of a motion for a new trial.
The next case taken up was that OF
w. Floyd Jackson, plaintiff. against
the Southern railroad. w. B. McCaW,
ESQ.,, appeared for the plaintiff and c.
P. Sanders, Esq, represented the de-
fendant. The plaintiff was employed
by Mr.. S. M. Carothers Of Tirzah, as
a clerk and bookkeeper in his store.
In addition to conducting a mercantile
business Mr.. Carothers was. and Is,
agent Of the railroad company at Tir-
zah. The plaintiff was not in the en-
ploy Of the railroad in any capacity.
On the 9Th Of October, 1903, two store
buildings situated near the railroad
caught fire, and while they were burn
ing three box cars, one Of them load
ed with cotton seed and the other two
empty, were endangered. Mr.. Caroth-
ers made a general call on the people
about and -specffe7 cafi MR. 5ecie-
son to help him save the property Of
the railroad company, A number OF
men attempted to move the cars, but
were unable to do 80 by reason Of the
brakes. Mr.. Carothers got on top Of
the car to loose the brakes. and at the
same time instructed Mr.. Jackson to
uncouple the loaded car from the
empties. While Mr.. Jackson was
helping to push the loaded car off the

sist tht. three officers, but was soon
quieted down by blow from Omcer

The people Of the neighborhood IN
which the killing occurred have been
very anxious to see the criminal ap-

with was committed without any
cause or provocation. 1t seems that
there had been a general fight ana
Dixon was shot as he was running
away from the crowd. :.
