WITHIN THE TOWN.

Rev. ]. L. Harley is to preach In
the Methodist church next Sunday
night on the duty Of the hour with re-
gard to liquor.
Superintendent Hunter in charge
of the sewerage work, now has about
fifty laborers in the ditch and at the
various tasks in connection with the
Job. The work is going forward with
systematic precision and considering
the difficulties experienced at the out
set in getting laborers, the progress is
very satisfactory.
The Palace Theatre announces its
intention to put on the Passion Play
on August 8. This is probably the
most ambitious achievement Of the
moving picture makers, and one Of the
most interesting. The production of
the play requires about an hour and a
half, and as the film is to be had
only at very great expense, the price
of admission will be considerably in
creased for the special occasion.
The young people Of Yorkvllle
and many of the older ones are very
much interested in an unusual enter
tainment on which the ladies Of the
Methodist church have been working
for several days and which is to lie
held in the court house tonight. The
main feature Of the entertainment Is
to be a laughahle farce entitled "At
the Village Post Office" and this is to
be supplemented by some fine music
by local amateurs and pretty drills by
the children. In all about seventy five
people are to take part, the whole
show is to be something we'll worth
while

INFORMATION from Beaufort county
is to the effect that the voters down
that way are becoming aroused to the
designs of the political yeggmen who
would take the Hon. Neils Christen-
sen, Jr., out of the senate. AS we
have noted before, there are the best
of reasons for believing that the de-
signs against Mr.. Christensen had
their origin outside of his county. In
connection with the dispensary inves-
tigation, he has proven himself not
only to be capable and intelligent but
absolutely fearless and incorruptible.
BY dint of his tremendous moral
courage he has confounded the sinis-
ter designs of some of the most con-
scienceless tricksters in public life.
and right now he is possessed of undi-
vulged secrets that are we'll calculat-
ed to bring stripes and prison bars to
men who are at present enjoying the
honor and confidence of the public.
The reason for desiring to take Chris
tensen out of the senate is to divest
him of the power that makes the
knowledge he has, SO dangerous to
men who have acquired wealth and
power by betraying the integrity OF
the state. Good judges who under
stand the character and disposition of
the voters of Beaufort better than we
do, say that Mr.. Christensen will win
in spite of the tremendous fight that
has been inaugurated against him.
and for the honor of that county as
we'll as for the whole state, we sim
cerely hope that their judgment will
prove true.

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-07-24

JUDGE Hydrick has grarted a new
trial in the case Of Will Foster, COL
ored, convicted of the murder Of John
Jones and sentenced to be hanged. The
ground on which the new trial Is
granted is that one Of the jurors, who
heard the case, was intoxicated. No
one can question the business OF grant
ing the new trial under the circum-
stances. This drunken juror will
prove a very considerable expense to
the county of Spartanburg. But a man
who is drunk is in no frame Of mind
to consider such an important issue as
life and death. The jury is no place
for him. The law should go one step
further and make 1t impossible for
him even to be drawn on a jury by re-
quiring the jury commissioners to
throw out the names of any man who
is known to be addicted to the drink
habit-Winnsboro News and Herald.
We quite agree that drunken jury
man has no business sitting in judg-
ment on any kind of a case; but we
are very doubtful as to whether a new
trial should have been granted for that
reason stated. We do not question the
action of Judge Hydrick. He is an
able judge, and we believe that he
means only to do that which is right.
1t is quite possible that the supreme
court has already established prece-
dent and the judge is only following it.
But as we see it, to set aside this YER
dict under the circumstances and on
the ground alleged, is to say that the
possible sober opinion of this drunken
Juror is more important than the sworn
belief Of the eleven who did their
duty The thing is positively ridicu-
lous and not only is it ridiculous but 1t
is harmful. While theoretically or act
ually, the law takes but little account
of delays, delays are always favorable
to the accused, or rather they are favor
able to the accused in nine cases out
Of ten. Next time, maybe the people
who took such a lively and healthy in
terest in trying to enforce the law will
be so thoroughly disgusted that they
will let the case go by default. While
as matter of precedent and law
Judge Hydrick was no doubt right in
granting a new trial, but if justice and
the public welfare are the first consid-
Grafton a new trial should not be
granted on any such grounds.

TICKS ON CATTLE.

The government experts who have
been set to the task Of Kidding this
section Of cattle ticks, are working like
good fellows and they are finding lots
of ticks.
Among the experiences with which
the agents are meeting Is that upon
applying to some cattle owners, they
are told that there are no ticks on theil
cattle. This, however, does not satisfy
the agents. They explain that the gov
ernment expects them to make inspec-
tions and they will feel more assurance
after they have seen the cattle fol
themselves.
In some instances it Is found thai
the inspected places are free Of ticks;
but in other instances the cattle are
literally infested with the vermin, and
are broken out in sores.
The inspection Is being pushed with
systematic energy and the ground Is
being covered with great rapidity
with scrupulous regard to thorough
ness.
Most of the cattle owners welcome
the inspectors most heartily and give
them all the assistance in their power
1t Is only occasionally that the inspec-
tors meet with a man who is so smart
or so ignorant as to give them trouble
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1908-07-24
IN THE COUNTRY,

1t is painfully dull about most of
the York county towns just now,
largely because of absence of the
country people, and if anybody wants
to know what the trouble is, a visit
to the country will easily furnish an
explanation.
Most of the farmers are through
with their work, especially so far as
crops are concerned. Some are stiTl
more or less busy with various mat
ters: but that is not why they are 80
scarce about the towns. There are
enough country people at leisure
these days to keep the towns crowd
ed; but what do they want to come to
town for?
A trip over the country just now will
show that most of the residents who
are not bnsy at some kind Of work, and
these include not a few, putting
in the greater portion of their time
visiting or entertaining visitors. To a
majority of them 1t is the same
whether they are doing one or the
other for they rejoice equally in eth
er. And visiting and entertaining
means plenty of good eating from
morning till night, fried chicken, beef
steak and ham etc, for breakfast and
the same with fruits and vegetables
for dinner and supper, and no end OF
apples. peaches, plums, and water
melons in between times. The ladies
stay about the house mostly, talking
about matters grave and serious,
dress, religion, social developments,
light gossip. etc. The men loll under
the trees, smoking when they are not
eating fruit, pitching hOrseshoes,
reading the papers, talking politics,
and enjoying themselves generally.
The young people,-why the young
people do not need to be mentionedi
Of course. there are routine tasks and
chores to be attended to; but alto
gether it is a lazy time.
No, there is not much reason why
the country people should want to go
to town these days, not nearly so
