MeeREeoR CONTEMPT CASE.

The case of ]. T. McGregor, who was
ruled by Judge Hydrick recently to
show cause why he should not be at
tached for contempt of court in falling
to appear as a witness after having
been duly subpoenaed, was not ended
to come, etc.
II the witness had set out by send
ing a certificate from a physician
showing that he was really unable to
be present, the case would have been
different: but because Of the fact that
he indulged In some rather objection
able bandinage with the sheriff and the
clerk setting forth that he did not pro-
pose to come until after the payment
Of mileage and per diem, there was
some little doubt about the correctness
of his subsequent plea of illness.
The case was renewed a few days
ago by a Walterboro attorney. who
communicated with Judge Hydrick by
telephone and advised him Of the pos
session Of certificates, etc., in testimony
Of the genuineaess of Mr.. McGregors
claims. Judge Hydrick advised the at
torney that the case was one which
would have to be dealt with In open
court, and the papers were sent to w.
w. Lewis. Esq, who presented them
yesterday morning.
The papers included certificates
from physicians and certificates from
the clerk Of the court and sheriff OF
Colleton county, setting forth the repu-
liability of the physicians. Taken al
together, they seemed to leave no
doubt Of the fact that the witness was
now really sick; but Judge Hydrick
was not yet willing to call the proceed
lngs off without some kind Of repar-
alton.
After considering the situation fully,
Judge Hydrick announced that If Mr.
McGregor would pay all the costs in
Cured in the case. including the tele-
phoning, telegraphing and the deputy
trip to Walterboro, amounting in the
aggregate to about $36 the rule would
be dismissed In the event Mr.. McGreg-
or does not see proper to comply with
proposition, he will be brought to
Yorkville as soon as he is able to trav-
ell and the judge will come back from
Spartanburg and meet him here.
The costs were paid this morning.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

There was Brice law election In
Saluda county last Tuesday and the
dispensary was voted out by about four
to one. The sentiment in the town of
Saluda is about 80 to against the dis
pensary.
- Mrs. Frank James, the wife of a
prosperous farmer living in Chick
Springs township, Greenville county,
was assaulted at her home about dusk
Monday night by Andrew Thompson,
a negro forty years Of age, who beat
her into insensibility and threatened
her with death II she told. Her hus-
band coming home from work found
her hysterical and disflgured from
blows Of the negro's fist and with a
posse Of neighbors began a search
for the fiend. Constable A. c. Rainey
found Thompson in drunken stu
por at his cabin, at 8 o'clock next
morning. The constable stood off
with a leveled revolver the crowd
who wanted to lynch the negro, and
drove away leaving with them the
impression that he was going to drive
across the country with his man by
way Of the Paris mountain road.
They cut across to head him off and
lynch the prisoner, but he made a
detour and caught a train at Tay-
lor's station for Greenville and de-
livered the prisoner at the county jail
by. noon. The negro was positively
identified by Mrs. James, though he
denies the crime.

IN BEHALF OF THE MONUMENT.
An Old Veteran Makes an Ernest APP
peal to the Public.
Copc Uatara nS

peal to the Public.
To the Veterans and Sons Of Veterans
of York County:
The undersigned, a veteran, desires
to make an earnest appeal to the vet
erans and sons of veterans of York
county. For the past two years the
noble Daughters of the Confederacy
have striven to secure funds for the
completion of the Confederate monu-
ment. yet they have met with only a
measure of success and this appeal Is
that the veterans and sons of veterans
in York county would, while making
returns to Auditor Hunter hand him
something for aiding this fund.
The past year has been the most
prosperous in the history of our couA-
try since the war and 1t is fitting that
we should make this effort now. The
ranks of the veterans Of the Confeder-
acy are fast thinning and the STOPPING
shoulders, the halting gait and the
whitened hairs Of the remainder testify
all too clearly that in few years more
that gallant army which under the
guidance of Robert E. Lee bore for
four years the fortunes Of the Confed-
eracy upon their bayonets will be but
a memory.
If their eyes are to be pleased and
their hearts gladdened by this token
that their sacrifices and privations are
not forgotten 1t must soon be done, or
for many of them it will be forever
too late.
I have not consulted with Bro. Hun
ter. but have no doubt he will be glad
to receive and turn over to the Winnie
Davis Chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy any funds entrusted to
him for this purpose.

HANDSOME AND USEFUL.

The "All Through the Year cook
book has just been issued from the
presses Of Messrs. L. M. CRISIS Sons,
and Is now on sale by the ladies Of the
Presbyterian church under whose aus
pices it was edited and published.
The book is quite voluminous pro-
duction, consisting Of 1876 pages exclu-
sive Of the covers. 1t Is printed In
loaded minion on thick heavy book pa
per- and bound in holly red, tied with
a silk cord. The front cover page Is
after a special design in old English
text, reading "All Through the Year,
and underneath, the explanation:
I'm this we give to you a prize,
Not to those with critics eyes,
But what to you may useful be,
When you are worried DER the Tea y
The contents include several hun
dred recipes so arranged as to system
atically cover all the local wisdom. or
most Of it, as to the best methods of
cooking, preparing and serving soups,
fish, meats, entrees, vegetables, salads
and salad dressings, breads, desserts,
cakes, pickles, preserves, jellies, can
dies, etc. To soup four pages are de
voted; there are five pages on fish;
eleven pages on meats; five pages on
vegetables; four pages on salads;
ten pages on breads; eleven pages
on desserts; thirteen pages on
cakes; six pages on pickles; four pages
on preserves; three pages on candies,
and two pages Of household hints.
The editorial work on the book and
there Is considerable, was done by Mrs.
S. M. McNeel, Mrs. B. N. Moore, Mrs.
I. D. Witherspoon and Miss Hulda Nc
Neel. It is of a high order through
out, and while the ladies make no pre-
tense of other than amateur ability, be-
ing too diffident even to take for them
81 Ives the credit to which they were
Justly entitled Of putting their names
on the title page, the whole production
Is very we'll calculated to command the
respect and commentator of editors Of
far more experience.
Local cook books are by no means
new thing. They have been publisned
from time to time in all parts Of the
country and several have been gotten
out in this state during the past few
years; but this one just published by
the ladies of the Presbyterian church
Of Yorkville, is undoubtedly the hand
soonest that has yet made its appear
ance in this state; 1t is also one OF the
most valuable.

equally we'll known that Representa-
tive Finley has taken a strong stand
for Rock Hill as one Of the places
Of holding the court. AS stated, the Gus
tom in such matters would have been
for Representative Finley to have
taken Mr.. Henry to the White House
If he desired to go there, and the
departure from this time-honored
usage has caused not a little COM
ment from people here who are keep
ing in touch with South Carolina af-
fairs Though Mr.. Henry says that
he Is here on pleasure trip entirely,
there have been rumors that judge
ship in the new circuit would not dis
please him.
Right Wins at Last.
Columbia Record: The announce
ment that the supreme court had de-
cided the Farmers Alliance case puts
an end to a long and tedious fight for
the possession Of $4,000 which be-
longed to the Alliance exchange and
Is all that remains Of a once power
full organization. The fight started
several years ago when H. E. Brook
shire, business agent for the ex-
change, announced that the funds
could not be distributed as was de-
sired by the stockholders at meet
ing here. An injunction was brought
and the funds thrown into the hands
Of a receiver. Afterwards 1t was de-
posted in the Palmetto bank, Of this
city, and has since remained there
awaiting decision by the circuit and
supreme courts. The decision means
that the funds will be distributed
among the stockholders and 1t Is
probable that a meeting will be called
in few days to do this. 1t has been
suggested that the money be turned
over to the Southern Cotton associa-
ton or some other organization for
farmers, but 1t is not probable that
this will be done. There was origi-
has been lost In litigation and some
by mismanagement.
Rough Experience.
Mr.. Frank Deal, according to the
Rlacksburg Chronicle, had an excit-
ing experience at q Columbia fire q
few days ago. While passing up the
street he saw house on fire, and nat
urally ran to render assistance. AS
he neared the door a couple of men
came out with some things and shout
Gu dS llSy pdSScu SO dIto
save the old lady" which he promptly
proceeded to do. Cropping. his way
through the darkness and smoke to
the rear of the house, he entered the
dining room, where he found the old
lady, apparently about 70 years Of
age, opening drawers and searching
diligently for her valuables, instead
of being an old rheumatic in bed, as
had been represented. He ran up
and caught her by the arm, when
she suddenly turned, picked up the
rolling pin and dealt Frank severe
blow across the head, exclaiming:
"Get out, you thief" And before he
had time TO- apologize she pushed
him out and shut the door In his
face. The flames were rolling fast
and the hall filled with smoke, so he
retreated to the front door, only to
be met there by several stalwart fire-
men who turned him over to police
man. who placed him under arrest,
thinking he was a sneak thief. At
ter many apologies and explanations
our old friend Frank was turned
loose, and has made solemn VOW
never to again enter the missionary
field. We are glad to note that Mr..
Deal Is safely home.

TAKE that Gaffney case for instance.
There is not shadow, Of doubt that
that man Hasty is guilty Of a most
hellish murder In view Of the fact
that the killing occurred in his own
house and that his victims were guests,
there Is no possible hypothesis on
which the thing can be justified. But
just watch. If this fellow has money
or influence, it will be shown at the
trial that he acted just as he should
have acted all the way through, and
the probability is that there will be no
hanging. The very fact that every
body knows that Hasty should be
hanged will be used as a pretext for a
change of venue.

Anderson Daily Mail: The belled

Anderson Daily Mail: The belled
buzzard, which almost every one has
heard so much about all their lives,
or one of his aliases. has been run
down and put to death About once
a year for years and years past
buzzard has been seen in this county
with a bell, and has caused a great
deal of speculation as to where 1t
came from, its history, etc. The buz-
zard has been seen a number of times
lately. and a few days ago 1t was
found that the buzZard roasted on
Rocky river some miles from the city,
and a citizen living in that vicinity
determined to solve the mystery. So
one night a few days ago when the
buZZard came to the roosting place the
said citizen was on ha ID with his shot
gun and to make a long story snort
he killed the buzZard. To kill buZ-
zard is a crime against the state of
South Carolina. and hence the citi-
zen shall be nameless. The bell Is
a small brass affair about one and
a half inches in diameter and of ex-
cellent quality, and Of pattern not
not often seen here. 1t was fastened
around the buzzard's neck with a
piece of wire about the size of tele-
phone wire, and seemed to have been
put on by some one who knew his
business. 1t did not seem to be much
worn, but as a matter of fact as
buzZard flies except when he makes
sudden turns or executes some fancy
manoeuvreS he flies as steady as a
canal boat going down stream with a
slow current There is no inscrip-
ton or anything whatever on the bell
to indicate who put it on or when,
and the subject is still as much OF
mystery to those interested in 1t as
it ever was. The citizen who killed
the buzZard is going to have a date
engraved on the bell and next sum-
mer put it on a young buzzard getting
ready to fly. and thus perpetuate the
famous bell buZzard. The bell buzz
Zard has been in existence too long
to put a common place end to the
famous bird of the air, which has had
so many varied and interesting stories
told on and about him.

HOW 1T CAME ABOUT.

Senator Brice this morning handed
THE ENQUIRER the following letter, re-
Gently received by him from Governor
Hayward and explaining the mystery
of the alleged return" Of the dispen-
sary constables to York County:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Executive Chamber.
COLUMBIA, Dec. 13, 1905.
Hon. j. S. Brice,
Yorkville, s. G.
Dear Sir-I am in receipt of yours
4th instant, in which you state that
the county board Of commissioners or
York county are willing to use ordinary
county funds for the purpose or sup
pressing the illegal sale Of whiskey In
your county. l note that you wish
to know If l will appoint two state
constables in said county, to be named
by the county board Of commissioners,
and to be paid by the county board OF
commissioners.
Replying, beg to say have instituted
inquiries, and am informed by Hugh >:
Brown, sheriff of York county, that
two or more good men stationed In
your county, and operating principally
in the Kings Mountain neighborhood,
(where he informs me illegal distiller-
les are in operation), would, In his
opinion be of material service; have
come to the conclusion that 1t Is my
duty under the law to station two con-
stables In York county, but they Will
have to be paid under existing provis-
ions Of law.
l am writing Sheriff Brown today,
informing him of my determination IN
this matter, and stating to him that the
chief constable will detail Constable
Jenkins a native Of York county, and
another good man, for the present at
least, to your county, with instructions
that they cooperate with the sheriff
and assist him in every way that they
can to suppress the illegal sale Of IL
quor, not only in Kings Mountain
township but throughout York county,
wherever such violations Of the liquor
law may prevail.
Very truly yours,
D. c. HEYwARD, Governor.
