The grand jury has disposed Of all
the bills given out to it by the solicit
or and will be discharged on the pre-
sentation Of its final report this after
noon or tomorrow.
There has been some disagreement
among the members Of the bar as to
whether or not the jury commissioners
had the power to draw jurors for the
third week. Judge Mcdonald decided
that third week jurors can be drawn,
and the drawing will probably take
place this afternoon.

the operation Of stills outside Of incor-
porated towns in North Carolina, a
new plant was erected in South Caro-
lima only few yards distant.
The South Carolina outfit was put up
by authority Of the state board Of dis
pensary directors on a permit issued
to one Stewart on bogus petition,
similar to those recently exposed by
Senator Brice, and the distillery has
been doing lots Of business. Custom
ers from North Carolina would be sup
piled on the South Carolina side Of
the line and customers from South
Carolina would be waited on In North
Carolina. Because 1t was the only

Constable Rose, Of Yorkville had
been watching the place for several
weeks and after getting the names of
number Of witnesses to sales, he
made a report to the state authorities
in Columbia. The state authorities
in turn reported to the Federal author
tiles, giving information that seemed
to embody prima facie evidence OF
violation Of the internal revenue laws,
and this resulted in the raid Of Sat-
urday night
| Sheriff Logan went along with the
constables, carrying warrants for the
arrest of half a dozen or more men
said to be connected with the "Jubi-
lee" outfit; but when he began to
make inquiries most Of the parties he
was after quietly stepped across the
line, and took to the bushes. 1t was
only necessary for them to travel g
few feet to safety: but they did moi
seem certain. about that and disap-
peared entirely from the scene. The
only party actually arrested was Johr
Stewart, who, upon being brought to
Yorkville gave bail for his appearance
in the sum Of $500, with B. o. Jenkins
as bondsman.
The revenue officials, ]. P. Scruggs
and H. A. Dargan, seized about sever
barrels Of whisky, sixteen hogs, hall
dozen or more cattle. new twenty
horse power engine and boiler. and va.
rious other property, all Of which was
taken to Grover.
Constable Rose was assisted In his
part Of the work by Constables High
Mulligan and Drake. The constables
stood guard over the property for sew.
eral days before the arrival Of the rev.
enue officers.
The reporter was informed that the
permit from the state, under which the
distillery was being operated, was II
the name of Joseph McCarver, better
known as Joe Clark; but about thi!
there seems to be more or less con-
fusion.
The constables have the names o.
fifteen or twenty witnesses upon whom
they rely to prove violations Of th'
law against various individuals con
nected with the distillery, but On ac
count Of the difficulty in getting thes'
witnesses together the hearing will
probably be postponed for severa
days.

THE Russian government has served
notice on the various powers that
newspaper correspondents caught US
ing wireless telegraphy in the zone OF
war operations will be shot as spies.
The reason given is that the japanese
will be able to get information as to
Russian movements with as much
facility as if they had regularly COM
missioned observers within the Rus
sian lines. Some of the wireless tele-
graph companies are protesting against
the proposition; but the outlook is that
the various powers will accept Rus
sia's proposition as just and proper.

IT was because Of the heroic action
of Chief Commensurate Monson that
the battleship Missouri was saved
from complete destruction on the oc-
casion of the fearful accident last
week. The turret in which the eX-
plosion occurred is closely connected
with large magazine filled with
shells and torpedoes sufficient to de-
stroy a dozen battleships. Perceiving
that the fire in the turret must inev-
itably get to the magazine unless
something was done and that quickly
Monson jumped into the magazine
and closed the door after him. The
magazine was flooded and after the
danger subsided somewhat it developed
that Monson had almost been drown
ed in water up to his neck.

WHO would have ever thought that
the time would ever come when Sena-
tor Tillman would advocate a CON
servative" candidate for anything?-
Anderson Daily Mail.
That such bright and thoughtful
paper as the Daily Mail should ask
question like this is indeed surprising.
Radicals always become conservative
after they succeed in securing power
and position. Their principal concern
is that they may be ousted by some
other radical, or conservative either,
for that matter.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The spring term Of the circuit court
for York county convened yesterday at
the appointed hour, Hon. ]. E. Nc
Donald of Winnsboro presiding, Solic-
itor Henry representing the State and
Stenographer McCaw taking the tes-
timony.
Upon the announcement Of Judge
Cages illness at Chester last week.
there was more or less doubt as to
whether or not the regular term could
be held in this county. The first ques-
ton was whether or not Judge Gage
would recover sufficiently to feel able
to attend to the work, and the second
question, whether or not that fact
would be determined in time to admit
Of other arrangements.
It was not until last Friday that the
governor was notified Of the serious
indisposition of Judge Gage and at
the same time request went forward
to Chief Justice Pope asking that Mr.
Mcdonald be recommended as Judge
Cages substitute. Mr.. Mcdonald ac-
cepted the governors commission at
much personal inconvenience, and time
that would have otherwise been lost
has thus been saved. .. .

THERE are those who claim that the
endorsement of Cleveland has hurt
rather than helped Judge Parker. The
same people who hold to this idea
claim that it was Cleveland who de-
feated Bryan in 1896. We car
see how they could be right in one
case but not in both. A man who has
power , defeat must also have a lit
