The first case taken up was that ol
]. B. Martin VS.. L. L. Clyburn. The
action grew out Of the purchase o.
some machinery belonging to the de-

made by an unauthorized agent. Tht
plaintiff failed to show that ely
burn was really a party to the sale
and the court granted non-suit. J

son for defendant.
The next case was that Of John b

ny, a suit for damages sustained al
the result Of an accident on May 23
1903, while the plaintiff was working
for the defendant as a quarryman

amputation. He was otherwise hor-
ribly: bruised. There was a trial o.
the case at the, April. 1908, term and
the jury found damages against the
defendant in the sum Of $4,000. Judge
Mcdonald set this verdict aside, or
the ground that the verdict was moi
warranted by the evidence and this Is
a retrial. After the introduction oi

counsel moved a non-suit and the
greater part of this morning was con-
serned In the argument. The non
suit was denied. G. w. s. Hart and

Mr.. K. s. Conrad, who has charge
of the exhibit the Kimball Piano COM

be very we'll pleased with the impress
sion his instruments are making. He
expected to find the Kimbali compar-

much pleased to run upon a number
of pianists who are we'll acquainted
with this splendid instrument and
who freely concede that 1t ranks with
the best. In Atlanta, which now
ranks as the greatest centre for the
sale of musical instruments In the
southeast, the Kimball leads all 9TH
er pianos, and the instrument seems
to be meeting with phenomenal success
everywhere. Mr.. Conrad has found
quite a number of people here who are
contemplating the purchase OF pianos
and he is quite sure Of leaving some
of his instruments IL not the entire
carload.

Cherokee counties and parts II not
all of CASTOR and Cleveland county, N.
C. This typographical survey Is pre-
liminary to a geological survey, which
will come later, and I might remark
for the benefit of those interested that
these geological surveys always inter-
est the mining world and attract cap
ital. 1t Is a fact that right now South
Carolina is producing about 40 per
cent of all the gold that Is being mined
east of the Mississippi river, and upon
proper exploitation her production
will no doubt be largely increased.
"Then, also. the interior department
has promised me photographic sur
vey Of the Broad and Catawba rivers
from the North Carolina line down as
far as Aston on the Broad and as far
as Camden on the Catawba. From
such information as I have I would
say that these two rivers are capable
of developing as much as 100000 horse
power. Much Of this has already been
developed; but more than half OF II
remains untouched, and the compile
tion of the proposed survey will great
ly facilitate its further development.

the funeral would have. been delayed

EUROPEAN correspondents represent
an alarming situation as to the possi-
bility of hostilities between France
and Germany. involving Of course, the
balance of Europe. The pending trou-
BILE is based on German aggression to-
ward Morocco. France claims the
preponderating influence in Moroccan
affairs and assumes to have an over
sight of the relations between Moroc-
co anu other foreign countries. Ger
many has of late shown disposition
to claim the same influence in Moroc-
can affairs that is exercised by
France. She is disposed to ignore
France in fact. This, of course, is not
to be tolerated. M. Delcasse, the
French minister Of foreign affairs,
has advocated a firm stand against
German aggression. His colleagues
were not disposed to back him up and
he resigned; but was induced to hold
his office by the assurance that he
should have full swing to do as he

France and Great Britain which is be-
lieved to recognize Frances position
in Morocco: but Germany does not
seem to be deferred by this alliance.
Russia and France are also allies, the
alliance binding especially as to Eu-
ropean complicat tions. There is now
good reason to believe that Germany
has been doing what she could to urge
Russia on in her war with Japan In
the hope of weakening her as much as
possible, and there seems to be good
reason to believe that If the Russian
fleet goes down before the Japs, the
German Kaiser will at once under

JUST what the facts are In the case
of DR.. Kenyon V. Millard, who married
Miss Sallie Kenyon, at st. Georges
last week is not yet clear. AS we un-
derstand 1t the doctor claims to have
been divorced from his first wife, and
his prosecutors claim that this Is no,
true. It is also stated, however, tina,
the prosecution stands on the theory
that a party who may have been d.
vorced in another state, has no right
to re-marry in this state. This, we dc
not believe will hold exactly. A d.
vorced citizen OF another state may
come into this state and contract a
lawful marriage; but a citizen of this
state who would procure a divorce In
another state, would probably get In
to pretty warm. water on bringing
back home a husband or wife as the
case may be, to live in the same state
with the husband or wife against
whom the original divorce decree was
procured Having no divorce law OF
her own, South Carolina as far as
possible ignores the divorce laws OF
other states and that Is about all
there is of it.

Easter Sunday was fittingly OBJ
served at the Methodist church. The

The retail trade Of Yorkville, in
Guiding dry goods, millinery and sup
plies, Is probably better at this time
than 1t has been since 1890, and the
volume is greater than 1t has ever
been In the history Of the town. But
there Is no reason why the local busi-
ness people should be satisfied with
the situation because Yorkville's To-
cation as a business centre Is most
admirable, and there Is no limit to the
possibility of further developments.
The annual inspection Of the Jas
per Light Infantry Is to take place ON

4.3O o'clock. by Col. Ezra B.. Fuller,

commissioners Of public works, was
to offer the Tavora people
81 500 for their property. If the offer
is accepted the town may take charge
of the lighting business. Otherwise a
