COUNTY POLITICS.
County Democratic Convention Meets
on Monday, May 7-Political
Pot Begins to Simmer.

Several of the democratic clubs Of
the county have already met and chos-
en- delegates to the county democratic
convention to be held in Newberry on
Monday, May 7, and most Of the 9TH
ers will meet today and tomorrow.
It has been remarked by those who
have watched the political situation in
Newberry county for many years that
up until this time there has been as
little interest as for any year during
long time past. This is no indiea=
tion, however, that the campaign Will
be without interest. The prospective
candidates are beginning to look over
the field and by the time Of the meet
ing Of the county convention little
more than week hence it is probable
that work in earnest will be begun on
the part Of some who by that time will
have definitely made up their minds.
The whiskey question has for sew
eral months past been playing prom
inent part in state politics. What
part it will play in the state cam
paign this summer it is hard to proph-
ecy, and it is harder still to say what
place this issue will be given in the
county campaigns. Only the candl-
dates for the legislature will have to
deal with it, Of course, no matter
what part it should play in the cam
paign, but as a matter Of fact when
question Of this kind becomes lead
ing issue it has been the observation
of those who have kept in touch with
politics that it has to do with all
the politics of county. There is GER
tainly no reason that it. should be so.
There is, in fact, reason that it should
be otherwise, because when the people
of Newberry county vote for an audi
.tox or sheriff or clerk Of court or
treasurer or master they want men
equipped for these positions, no mat
ter what they think Of the dispensary
law or Of prohibition or: high license,
or any other manner of controlling
the liquor traffic.
With those who aspire to represent
their county in the state legislature
it is different, There the laws OF the
state are made, and $here the voice OF
the county in making those laws is
raised. But even here it would seem
that to let any one ISSUE. however
much it may overshadow the others
for the short time being, influence the
votes of. the people Of the county,
would be mistake; for what coun-
ty should have is broad-minded men,
men who will represent their county
without fear and without favor on all
matters affecting the whole IEople OF
the state. ... -.
So far the candidates have been
slow in making their intentions
known. Newberry, as is known, will
have two candidates for governor.
They have already announced them
selves some while back-State Sen
ator Cole L. Blease and Mr.. A. c.
Jones.
Of the representatives in the lower
house of the general assembly, it is
probable that Messrs. Taylor and Ear
hardt will be candidates for re-elec-
ton. Mr.. Higgins has as yet given
out no statement which could be taken
as Indicating his intention one way
or the other.
Elsewhere in The Herald and News
will be found the delegates to the
county convention from the clubs
which have already held their meet
ings.

THIRD EARTHQUAKE
ONE PERSON KILLED
TIE PARTLY WRECKED WALLS
THROWN DOWN.
Business is Being Resumed at Rapid
Rate and Conditions Generally
are Improving Cooking
Done in Streets.

quake shock this afternoon toppled
over tottering walls and cracked
chimneys, left by the severe shock of
last Wednesday and the fire that fol-
lowed, and killed one woman in her
home. The shock was not severe but
the partly wrecked condition Of walls
and chimneys resulted in the upset
ting of some masonry. The shock was
barely perceptible in Oakland and vi
cinity, and was not felt far from San
Francisco, according to reports re-
ceived tonight. -
y Today's earthquake caused slight
excitement Of short duration among
many persons who have been wrought
to a high state Of excitement by the
awful happenings Of the last week but
quiet and assurance was soon restor-
ed.
This was day Of optimistic reports
from all sides.
ssConditions improving" was the
happy expression from those who
have charge Of caring for their less
fortunate fellow townsmen during the
last few days.
In fact now that the most important
duty will hereafter be performed by
the United States army, that Of dis
tributing the food and supplies which
have been given lavishly, the citizens
of San Francisco have turned their
attention to details Of the reconstruc-
ton of their business.
Resumption of Business.
There was resumption of business
to an astonishing extent today con-
sidering conditions, throughout the
residential quarter. Retail stores
were instructed to reopen and the mu-
nicipal government has established
a scale Of prices for the most import
ant commodities which even is below
that existing under normal conditions.
Warning was given retailers that any
effort on their part to charge exor-
bitant prices would result in sum
mary action by the authorities.
Street cars are promised for tornor-
row morning and electric lights will
be turned on tomorrow evening. The
work Of building and improving chin
neys is proceeding rapidly, but it will
be some time before it is safe to al
low fires.
The preparation Of the morning and
evening meals. for San Francisco, is
picturesque sight. In front of every
house there is a improvised furnace
there is small improvised furnace
or cookstove- on which the food is
prepared.
In some cases servants remain
faithful to their employers and to
them the cooking is entrusted; but it
is no unusual thing to see the. wives
Of men who a few days ago we're the
possessors Of fortunes stirring the
porridee or deftly manipulating ba-
con and eggs.

To Bed At Nightfan.

San Francisco goes to bed at night
fall. While the extremely rigid rule
concerning lights in houses has been
modified, still the general situation IS
considered by the average citizen to
be so unsafe at night that he retires
without going abroad, and in many
cases without showing light in his
house. Many reports have been made
during the last few days Of shots
fred into houses that showed a light
and few are disposed to take chances
Mayor Schmitz today took firm
stand against "citizens' protective
committees" organized in many Sec
tions of the city by men who under
took to regulate the affairs of their
neighborhood. Many complaints have
been made. against these ''commit-
tees" Responsible citizens have been
stopped at night and made to ey-
plain why they were abroad after
dark and even shots have been fired at
persons who had a right to go any,
where they pleased at any hour. It
was one Of the so-called "vigilance
committees" that. is to be held respon-
sible for the death Of Maj. Tilden,
who was shot while performing relief

JUSTICE SWEETLANO
SUSTAINED DEMURRER

Presiding Justice Sweetland has sus-
tained defendants demurrer to amended
declaration in the case OF Edward Hebert
va. Abby ]. Handy ct al. George Handy
II is stated I'm the declaration. granted TO
plaintiffs by warranty deed certain land
I'm Warwick and at the time OF making
this deed and covenanting that the plain
tiff should have quiet enjoyment of the
land Hardy was not seized OF part or
the land but the same was held by para
mount title by Samuel G. Tillinghast OF
which fact the plaintiff was not aware
until May Z. 1905. on Oct 4, 1898, George
Handy died testate and by his will left
all his property TO defendants. The de-
fendant. Abby j. Handy executrix of the
will. first published notice OF her ap-
polntment Nov. Is, 1895.
Plaintiff sues for breach OF the COW
enants OF warranty and quiet enjoy
ment. Defendants demur. the main
point being that IL does not appear by
the declaration that the cause OF action
did not accrue and could not have
been enforced during the lifetime of
George Handy or could not have been
enforced against his estate after his
decease, before said claim was barred
against his estate
Plaintiff claims that the covenants sued
upon were with the land and the cause OF
action did not occur until plaintiff be-
came aware of the paramount title of
tillinghast.
Judge Sweetland holds that IL TIL
hnghast had paramount title that would
be a state OF facts tantamount to an
eviction at the time OF the grant. In the
absence of any allegation of fraudulent
concealment OF the existence OF the cause
of action the court frds the cause OF
action did not accrue when plaintiff be-
came first aware OF the Tilinghast para
mount title. but when the conveyance was
made, July 81, 1896.
