eral court adjourned this afternoon.
In the Federal court yesterday the
case Of Jesse Dooley, charged with
assault to Kill. was tried. A jury
found the defendant guilty OF aggra-
waited assault only.
The case of w. +. Sterling. charged
with forgery, was tried this morning

John Harris larceny, one year and
one day
Arthur Prudoe, robbery, two years.
Dr John Miner, selling liquor; one
year and one day.
The case Of John Miner attracted "a
| good deal of attention and the court
seemed especially interested in him
Asked by the court why he sold whis-
/ Ky he said that he could not explain
other than he got into bad company
and it was probably this reason. He
made a strong plea to the court for
Iclemency. DR. Miner said his con.
fnement in jail had broken him com
pletely of the vice with which he hau
been addicted; that he felt like new
man. Give me an opportunity to be.
come a man" he said, and VIII
| lead new life"
| Judge Dickerson asked James r.
Humphrey, the prosecuting attorney,
if he had anything to say in connection
with the case. This man sold Wits.

The court then said he would sen.
tence DR.. Miner to prison for one

City'S Greatest Change.

Some one had asked the EnglishmaE.
who had returned to New York after
an interval of ten years. what had
struck him most in the changing life
Of the town.
You'd never imagine what it was,
so I'll tell you at once. 1t WAS the
signs on the churches. When I was
here last it was almost impossible for
me to tell what church 1 was looking
at, for that seemed not so important as
the name of the undertaken. whose ad-
dress was always given in large let
ters. Now I find on almost every
church front the name Of the building,
in large letters. with the hours for SER
vices below this and the undertakers S
name in the least conspicuous place.
It may sound like trifing thing, but
I liked it better than any change I've
noticed in New York. - New York

Two Governors in Conference.

Governor Terrell of Georgia and
Governor Hayward held a conference
the past week in Atlanta with refer
ence to a portion of the boundary be-
tween Georgia and this state,a dispute
with regard to which has arisen be-.
tween certain property owners and
citizens of Habersham county, Ca,
and Oconee county, South Carolina.
This conference between the two
governors was provided for by joint
resolution of the Georgia legislature,
passed at the session held the past
summer. The resolution grew out of
disputes between property owners in
the two counties named, and some con-
siderable interests are involved, partic-
ularly in the matter of damming the
Tugalco river for the purpose of Sc.
curing a water power.
The treaty between the two states
simply provides that the boundary line
shall be 'the bed of the river" The
Habersham county people claim that
this means the boundary is the South
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1905-10-26

Carolina bank of the river and that
all of the river belongs to Georgia.
The South Carolina people hold that
the boundary is in midstream, as is
generally the case where river forms
a dividing line. Some Georgia parties
have purchased the Tugaloo river and
proposed to establish dam in Hab-
ersham county for the purpose Of Sc
curing a water power to operate q
large manufacturing plant.
No definite conclusion was reached
at the conference, but both the gov.
ernors stated they thought the matter
was one which could easily be deter
mined and that a satisfactory agree,
ment could be reached. Governor Hey
ward said he would have the attorney
general of South Carolina investigate
the matter at once and prepare an
official opinion on the subject. At.
torney General Hart of Georgia has
had the matter under investigation for
some time On the Georgia side, and
he will shortly present his opinion to
Governor Terrell. The two governors
will then get together. again and reach
a final conclusion.
Governor Hayward went to Atlanta
On this occasion as Governor Terrell's
guest and was entertained at the ex-
ecutive mansion. During recent CON
versation over the long distance tele-.
phone Governor Terrell asked him to
come over, while President Roosevelt
was in the city and assist in the
function of entertaining the honored
guest. Governor Hayward accepted,
and following the presidents visit the
conference on the state boundary line.

Test Of Brice Bill Begins.

With the issuing OF an order Dy
Judge Pritchard, in the federal court
at Asheville, N. c., commanding the
members of the board of control Of
Union county, this state, to show cause
why the Brice bill should not be de.
clared unconstitutional, began what IS
expected to be one of the most bitter
ly fought and important cases coming
from South Carolina in several years.
The suit bears directly upon the state
dispensary system, and in it the op-
posing forces, dispensary and anti dis
pensary, will be arrayed against each
other.
Under the Brice bill, passed at a
recent session of the state legislature,
tae citizens Of any county, upon peti-
ton of a certain proportion of the
voting inhabitants, are allowed to
hold an election upon the question Of
dispensary or no dispensary. Under
this bill al election was held in Union
county and the county carried 1oT pTo-
hibition. The board of control there
upon closed the dispensary, of whicn
]. G.. Howell was dispenser, and the
latter decided to make a fight upo1
the ground that the bill is not con-
stitutional.
His attorneys, Bellinger & Welch,
and J. G.. Capers of Union present
ed to Judge Pritchard petition set
ting forth the grounds upon which the
claim of unconstitutionality is found
ed, and asked for an order command
ing the respondents to show cause
why the bill should not be so de-
clared.
