ROCK HILL VS.. CHESTER.

The Washington correspondent or
the Spartanburg Journal gives that
paper the following as to the status of
the controversy between Rock Hill and
Chester with reference to being named
in the pending bill as places for hold
ing terms of the Federal court:
1t can now be reliably stated that the
judiciary committee Of the house Will
at an early date hear delegations from
Rock Hill and Chester concerning the
question of those towns being chosen
as the place for the holding Of the
Federal courts after the passage of the
new court bill, should the bill pass.
Friends of this bill look upon this
move as being inimical to the interests
Of all the South Carolina towns that
are clamoring for the creation OF new
courts, for the reason that when the
Rock Hill delegation and the Chester
delegation meet before the committee,
opposing each other there will be q
good opportunity for the committee to
sidetrack the whole matter until the
members of the South Carolina dele
CATION come together on the question.
A prominent South Carolina man VINO
had conversation with a member
of the committee said today: II have
Just talked over the question of the
South Carolina court bill with a men,
ber of the judiciary committee and he
informs me that dates have been made
for delegations from Rock Hill and
Chester to appear before them. He
also stated In very plain terms that he
did not expect any benefit to come to
South Carolina out of this bill until the
question Of some place had been def
nite!y settled. This gentleman told me
that the committee did not seem over
anxious to create the new court under
the most favorable circumstances, and
that the way the matter stood now
there was scarcely any possibility of
ANYTHING being accomplished. He told
me that in his state practically the

EDISON WINS BIG SUTT.-Thomas A.
Edison did not know until informed
by a reporter, says a New York dis
patch, that Judge Hazel, in Buffalo,
had handed down a decision against
the Goulds and in favor of the invent
or, in a suit which has been slumber-
ing in the courts thirty years, and
which although originally specifying
about 100000 damages, may now in
volve nearly fifty millions.
The Wizard" expressed immense
satisfaction over the winning Of the
case as for ten years he has been ex-
pending something like $1,000,000 an
nually in one project alone-the reduc-
ton of low grade ore in New Jersey,
Tremendous Importance attaches to
the victory Of Edison financially, and
because 1t is a direct blow to the great
interests Of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, which for thirty years,
the inventor says, has been employing
devices owned and patented by him.
Judge Hazel has ordered that an
accounting be made. This Is a huge
task, entailing tedious work over the
books Of the company for three de-
cades back. 1t Is highly probable that
the company will have to pay Mr..
Edison high percentage for the illegal
employment Of his inventions.

WITHIN THE TOWN

Chief of Police Sanders caught two
tigers last Saturday, both Of them ne
groes. He saw them make sales and
pass the money.
- The Barkoot Carnival company is
coming to Yorkville during the week
beginning next Monday. This COM
pany has been in Gaffney, Greenville
and other neighboring towns. Its at
fractions are set forth in the adver-
tisement published in another column
- The Yorkville Building and Loan
association continues to grow in men,
bership; but since the recent action of
the members in increasing the capital
stock, the association Is prepared to
supply a still larger demand for MEM
bership. There is no better way to in
vest small savings, especially where
one is able to lay up only few dol
lars each month.
The recent sale by Mr.. L. B. Fou-
shee of the building occupied by the
Foushee Cash Store has given rise to
rumor that Mr., Foushee contem-
plates leaving Yorkville, and 1t gives
us pleasure to correct the rumor. Mr..
Foushee bought the property as an in
vestment and sold because he had a
nice profit. That was all there was to
the transaction, except that immedi-
ately after the sale he leased the build
ing, and expects to continue to con-
duct his very nice business In 1t.
- The action or rather the inaction OF
the town council in allowing the old
Baptist church building on South Main
street to stand as 1t has stood for many
months past seems to be At subject
for criticism. The building has been
but little better than a fire trap for a
good many years; but since a part OF
1t was torn away leaving an open gable
end it has been menace to surround
ing property. If fire should break out
in the building during the progress OF
high wind, considerable portion OF
the town would be endangered.

.Ioe Wheeler

The death of General Joseph Wheel
er occurred last Thursday night; but
because the news did rot reach US un-
til Friday morning was well advanced
we were unable to say about this
splendid old Confederate some things
we had long had in mind and which,
we believe. in justice to him. the south,
and the soldiers of the CoHfederacy
should be said.
General Wheeler was native OF
Augusta. Ga, having been born there
in 1886. He was graduated from West
Point in 1859, and continued in the
United States army until the breaking
out of the war. when he unhesitatingly
resigned his commission and rendered
his services to the Confederacy. He
went into the Confederate army as a
lieutenant, and went through several
grades of promotion until February,
1865, he was made a lieutenant gen.
eral The greater part of his service
was in command of cavalry, and his
record throughout was one that gave
him undying fame as fit leader for
the best cavalrymen the world has
ever seen.
