Curious Lawsuit.
Stable manure is real esta te.

StaHle manure is real estate.
This is tS2 Substance VI decision
Just handed down by the South Caro-
liza Supreme Court.
The famous case of Roberts VS.. Jones
has been decided. This is case that
has been plugging along in the llegis-
trate's courts and the circuit court IN
in this county for the past four years,
and some months ago landed III the
supreme court.
The facts of the case are as follows:
In 1900 Mr.. J. T. Jones, the county
dispenser, rented house and small
piece of laud from Mr.. J. T. Roberts,
in the upper part of the city. When
Mr.. Jones vacated the premises at tue
end of the year be carried several wag-
on loads of stable manure with him, as
be thought he had right to do. Mr.
Roberts objected to the removal of the
manure, claiming that it was real
estate and belonged TO the soil, and de-
mauded that Mr.. Jones pay him for it
or return it. Mr.. Jones refused to do
either, and Mr.. Roberts thereupon
started suit in the magistrates court
for the value of the manure, which be
placed at $l2.
Mr.. Jones won in the first round
and then the case went up to the. cir
cult court, where it was reversed and
sent back to the magistrate. 1t has
followed a shuttlecock course ever
since, going from one magistrate to
anothe. and back to the circuit court
on one point and another. until not
long ago it got up to the supreme
court. The presumption is that the
supreme court has been studying it
ever since.
The decision of the court, just hand
ed down, is in Mr.. Roberts favor.
Mr. Jones will have to pay for Htbe
manure and pay sundry costs besides.
The case has been one OF the nest
interesting, as we'll as one Of the most
unique, ever started in Anderson coun-
ty. The outcome has been wsited
with great deal Of interest by the
lawyers as we'll as by the laity.
Mr.. A. q. Dagnal represented Mr..
Roberts in the 1ong-drawn-out suit
and Messrs Breazeale and Rucker rep
resented Mr. Jones. Anderson Mail.

Until Next Decenber Letters in
Eyidence at Preliminary.

OrangehRrg. May 4.Tbe preliml-
nay hearing in the case OF Dr.. Kenyon
Mlllad, who was arrested april
81 charged with bigamy and who has
been confined In the county Jail IN
defauit of $500 bail, was beard this
morning by Magistrate G ?. Brun-
son, Who issued the warrant for has
arrest.
The prosecution was represented by
Mr.. r. i. Weeks of ST. George aud
Col 7. NE Raysor, while Wolfe d
Berry aud Col. Thomas F. Brantley
appeared for The defendant. It had
been understood that DR.. Mlllard
would conduct his own defense: and
it was learned thatthe counsel for the
defense had been retained by friends
ef Dr.. MillaId. who reside in another
State.
AS IS usual with such cases, it
atsracbed undue noeoriety and Magis-
trate BruBson's Office was packed to
suHocation long before the time ap-
uoinsed for the hearing. In fact, the
room was SO crowded that there was
rot room sufficient for those involved
instbe case. and the attorneys were
forced to ask that the room be cleared
s befors they would take up the case
s Miss Kenyon vas the only witness
4 for tbs State, and the occasion was
very mortifying to her; while Dr.
5 MisIsrd, who was brought into court
looking fresh and in good spirits,
showed the effect Of the strain before
sanadionrnment vas reached.
In addition so hiss Kenyon,s testl-
meny, the State entered as evidence
three letters written by Dr.. Mlltard
to Miss Kenyon since his lncareera-
tion, while She only evidence offered
by the defense were one telegram and
four letters received from Miss Kenyon
since their separation and also let
ter from the clerk Of the court OF
Osceola, Lows, with reference to
divorce granted Louisa Miilard IN
! 1880.
This correspondence was so volumi-
mons that no effort was made to read
it today, but Magistrate Brunson Will
read It carefully and either announce
his decision at 4 later date or nxs an.

the prosecution is that the interlocu-

December 4, 1904. prevents either
parts from marrying for one year
thereafter, while the defense holds
this 10 be me,e technicality. inasmuch

Another Liquor Point.

In view of the large amount of
consignment business done by
the liquor dealers, a ruling of the
treasury department just re-
ceived at the st. Paul revenue
Office is of much Importance.
Commissioner John w. Yer.
kes has ruled, in response to a
letter of inquiry from friedrich
VonBaumbach, deputy collector
in st. Paul, that wholesale liquor
dealers when consigning liquor
themselves at out-of-town points
and forwarding the bill of lad
ing, together with sight draft
upon the purchaser to local
banks for collection must take
out a federal license for each
town in which they do such a
business.
It has been the custom of all
wholesale houses to protect their
customers in Dakota and other
prohibition states by consigning
all shipments to themselves. The
bill of lading with a sight draft
on the customer, were then for
warded to some bank at the
point of destination. In this
way the purchaser was able to
receive liquor in the name of the
dealer and escape the penalties
of the prohibition law.
According to the decision just
handed down, this makes the
point of destination the place of
sale, and the wholesaler will
have to secure federal license
as a liquor dealer at that place.
As the laws of North Dakota
prohibit the sale in this state,
this seems to pin the wholesaler
down to a violation for every
sale made. -Grand Forks Press.
