done. When patrons disappointed the
check-room boys the latter made no
effort. it is said, to conceal their as
appointment.
Jacob l.. Newman, counsel Tor the
Navarro management, called to the at
tention of the court that "a contract
for the alleged breach of which this
suit was brought is in it's nature specu-
lative and pregnant with .conjectures,
in that the plaintiffs paid a certain sum
for a privilege, the returns of which
being g~ratuities and tips, We're neces-
sarily uncertain and dependent not
only upon the ordinary hazards OF
trade. but also upon untold con-
~tingencies."
. After the taking of the testimony had
been concluded Judge MacLear said
that, judging from the manner OF the
boys while OH the witness stand, he had
concluded they must have assumed a
dictatorial attitude while working In
the hotel. and that this fact. in view
of the clause stating the boys must be
satisfactory to the hotel management,
gave the latter a right to end the con-
ract. and thai he would, therefore, find
in the defendants favor.

THOSE people who have imbibed
the idea that the battle Of Kings
Mountain was fought principally oy
North Carolinians, should disabuse
their minds of the error. The late
Rev. DR.. Latham was the best author
ity on Kings Mountain, Of which we
have any knowledge. During his life
time he talked to some who had par
ticipated in the battle, and to scores
who had heard fathers, who had parti-
cipated in it, talk about 1t. He had
a tremendous collection Of old manu-
scripts and he understood the condi-
tions of the times to an extent tnat
gave him a remarkable facility for con-
sidering and weighing things and get
ting at the truth. He was true his
torian who cared only for the TRUTH
and would have scorned to set down
as a fact anything about which ne
had the least doubt. His history shows
that the South Carolina men were In
evidence at the battle-that there
were as many Of them as there were
of all other states combined, and also
that they did their full duty. People
who claimed that the South Carroll
mans were not fully represented, do so
without knowledge of the facts.

ACCIDENT TO NO. ID.

The Southern's passenger train No.
IA, due to reach Yorkville at 1904 a.
m, was held up for nearly three hours
last Wednesday morning by reason Of
the serious explosion Of steam pipes
on engine No. 1924.
The accident occurred about two and
a half miles east of Smyrna. The en-
glne was rushing along on schedule
time, Cliff Lee driving, without a
thought Of danger, when suddenly
there was a tremendous explosion,
quickly followed by still another that
was even louder, and both Of which
were heard a distance Of ten miles or
more.
Involuntarily, Engineer Lee closed
his throttle, and while there was no
immediate effect from that operation,
the train soon came to a stop. Inves-
tigation developed that the first loud
report had come from the explosion Of
the pipe that carries dry steam to the
steam dome, and that the second report
had come from the blowing off of the
steam dome itself.
There was a good deal of excitement
among the passengers; but they were
soon quieted by Conductor Graham,
and when they got out Of their respec-
tive cars, they found the engine envel-
oped in white steam, with Engineer

putation upon them or any one OF
them; but it seems to Us that the sug-
gestion of the State Is we'll worth Sc
rious consideration. There Is abso-
lutely no question Of the fact that the
dispensary system was long In the
hands Of men who were net concerned
about moral responsibility in taking
all that seemed to offer. THE Zen
were the product Of the political domi-
nation Of men Of their kind. Like
breeds like. There Is class OF GRIM
inals, who do not hesitate to try to
apologize for crime by calling 1t poll
tics. There are those who would try
to distinguish a political assassination
from any other kind Of deliberate muir
der. OF course, no such view can be
held by any but ordinary criminals;
but where such criminals dominate
the situation is indeed
bad. Under the law the name OF one
qualified elector out Of every three,
goes into the jury box. Where the jury
commissioners know their business
and where they are in full sympathy
with a certain purpose, 1t is an easy
matter for them to fill the jury box
with the kind Of men they want to
do the thing desired. AS we have
said, we know nothing about this
Richland jury; but If our observations
are not fully warranted by the sug-
gestions of the State, we fail to COM
prehend the situation.

The next move Of the town coun-

The Yorkville Cornet band, con-
tinues to practice nightly for the cele-
bration of the 7th, and is getting IN
first class shape. 1t has the lyric mu-
sic down almost to Prof. Herndon's
notion, and the voices that are prac-
ticing with the band are giving abund-
ant promise of soul stirring rendition
we'll worth while.
Mr.. ]. P. White, chairman Of the
street committee, who has had general
charge Of the work of paving North
Congress street, Is entitled to a big
bouquet, for the faithful and efficient
attention he has given the task. AS q
rule, members Of the council get more
"cussing" than anything else; but In
this case, there is room for some
we'll -merited praise.
Mayor Hart has been advised By
the Federal department OF good roads,
that It is contrary to the rules Of the
department to send demonstration
agents to work in incorporated cities
or towns. Accordingly, he has de-
cided to ask that an agent be sent to
do some work on the country roads,
and IL the necessary arrangement is
completed, he expects to secure the
cooperation of Mr.. A. L. Black, the
township supervisor and, with the
consent Of the council lend the town's
steam roller for use outside the cor
porate limits. It Is calculated that
expert demonstration work on sand
and clay roads will be of value to the
town as we'll as to the surrounding
country.
