The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being con-
stitutional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
much faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The circuit court resumed work
yesterday morning after a recess of
several days, and will probably con-
tinue in session to or through Thurs
day.
One of the most interesting and i'm
portant cases taken up this week was
what is known as the Rock Hill High
school case, involving the transfer of
the High school property to Winthrop
college. This Is quite long case, and
1t was expected that the hearing would
consume two or more days. The coun-
sci for the minority OF the trustees,
however, abandoned all their exceptions
to the report of Referee Glenn that
made necessary the reading Of the tes-
timony and clung only to the PROPOSE
ton that Winthrop has no power under
it's charter as the same now stands,
to acquire real property. Messrs. G.
E. Spencer and J. E. Mcdonald made
arguments in behalf of Winthrop and
Mr.. Stanyarne Wilson spoke for the
other side Judge Moore reserved his
decision until he could make fuller
examination into the questions involv-
ed.
During yesterday also the court
heard argument In the case OF Bratton
against nope, WHICH HAS oeoh pShuiio
for several years, and argument In the
case Of Arledge, ct al, vs.. Arledge,
ct al, involving the title to the Palmer
lot in the town Of Yorkville. His hon.
or also reserved his decision in these
cases.
The case of .Mollie Fincher Means
VS.. the Woodmen of the World was
taken up this morning, and tomorrsw
the court will take up the case Of Ken
nedy against Hill.
Quite a quantity Of accumulated
equity business has been disposed OF
at the present term and the two weeks
of the February term will be available
almost entirely for jury cases.

Trinity congregation regrets that
Rev. o. M. Abney will not be able to
spend another year in Yorkville. Mr..
Abney has been at a serious disadvan-
tage during the greater part Of the
year, because Of illness. Mrs. Abney
was detained for quite a while after
she was due to arrive, because OF Ill
ness, and then a short time afterward,
as the result Of vaccination. Mr.. Alb
ney went through what was almost
equivalent to an attack OF smallpox.
But Notwithstanding these Affections,
Mr.. Abney has given earnest, faithful
service to his congregation and to his
church, and won a warm place in the
hearts of all with whom he came In
contact. There Is a feeling that IL he
could have come back next year, the
result would have been highly benefi-
cial to all concerned.

for law, justice and right, and there
are lawyers who fight only to win,
There are lawyers who use honest, open
methods only. and there are lawyers
who use such methods as they consid-
or best calculated to win, just as some
people fish with straight hook and line
and others fish with dynamite. But do
not let us forget that as long as we
have quarrels. we must have lawyers
and the only way to dispense with the
lawyers Is to quit quarreling.
But after all, our friend Poag Is mis-
taken in thinking that rascality is at
a premium. Rascality never has been
at a premium and it never will be-
Rascality may triumph temporarily
and the honest man may be cast down;
but even then the rascal is not the
real winner, nor the honest man the
real loser.

WE are reproducing from the Column

WE are reproducing from the Colum-
bia State, Zach McGhee's story to the
effect that Maj. ]. c. Hemphill has be-
come the patronage refugee in this
state, only for what it is worth. We
have very little positive information
about the matter, and we do not take
it that Mr.. McGhee has a great deal
more. II we are to understand that
MIR. Hemphill Is to assume the res
possibility Of saying who shall and
:hall not have Federal office in this
state, we do not believe a word of 1t.
II we are to understand that Mr..
Hemphill is a close personal friend of
the president, and the president has
great confidence in him, we are not
inclined to dispute the proposition, for
we believe this Is so. But we do not
believe that Mr.. Hemphill is going to
undertake the distribution Of public
patronage in South Carolina. We do
not know Of anybody who could do 1t
more satisfactorily or to the better in
terest Of good, clean government; but
we have no idea that he would under
take such a thankless job, while en-
gagged in other work Of so much great
er Importance.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- Columbia, December II: Govern
or AnSel has issued a requisition for G.
]. Herbert, who has been located at
Chattanooga, to require him to come
to this state to answer to the true bill
found against him here last month on
an indictment charging him with con-
spiracy in connection with the deal
between the Seminole Securities off,
cials and the officials of the Southern
Life Insurance company OF North
Carolina. The requisition was issued
at the request Of Solicitor Cobb, who
recently wrote to Mr.. Herbert telling
him that If he did not come here and
give bond he would have him extra
dited. Mr. Herbert did not reply to
this letter and the letter was not re-
turned.
- Columbia, December 16: Signing
the order reducing the amount of the
verdict in the Rhodes case Judge
Memminger this evening gave some
interesting reasoning with reference to
this case. Touching the reduction it
self Judge Memminger writes: while
I am satisfied that both the findings
Of the jury as to actual and punitive
damages were not founded in caprice,
or through prejudice, or without
proper consideration Of the evidence,
or any like moving cause, and that
the verdict was not in itself excessive,
yet I am inclined to the view that in
asmuch as 1t has been made to ap-
pear that this cause constituted the
first offence in which an action has
been brought against the defendant
or any other mill for a similar offence,
I am disposed to pursue the policy
generally adopted by courts-especi-
ally by courts Of criminal Jurisdiction,
in analogy to punishment by punitive
damages-and be lenient, and for this
reason, and not because the verdict Is
in itself excessive, or, as stated capri
cious or rendered through prejudice,
or out of proportion to defendants
estate as shown in the evidence, to
reduce the amount of punitive dam
ages from $4,000 to $4,000. The ver-
dict for $4,000 actual damages is sus-
tanned. Unless the plaintiff, the
Grandby Mills, remit within five days
the sum of $4,000 on the judgment
for punitive damages a new trial will
be granted, but II the amount Is re-
mitted a new trial Is refused under
the order" The Rhodes case was
against the CRANKY Mills for alleged
"blacklisting" Of Olin M. Rhodes, an
employee. The original verdict was
for $4,000 actual damages. and $4,000
punitive damages. The cause then
came up on a motion for a new trial,
the same being refused, but the YER
dict cut down as stated. The points
Of law raised by the defence were
overruled In the order.

The rush between Christmas and New

The burning Of the residence Of Mrs.
w. B. Steele beyond the limits of the
water protection against fire, brings up
the question as to whether or not there
Is good ground for claims OF damages
against the town. There Is a rumor
to the effect that steps have been TAX
en- by the losers by the fire to bring
action; but this is only rumor. AS
vet no steps have been taken. That
the case Is actionable, however, there
Is very little question. The only ques-
ton Is as to the measure Of damages.
There Is a very general opinion that II
Is unjust to ask people who get no
benefit from the public water service,
or rather who are not In position 10
get benefit to pay taxes on such ser
vice. It Is held by a good many law
yers, for instance that a citizen who
gets no benefit from a public utility
cannot lawfully be made to help pay
for such utility; but as to Just now
much responsibility there would be on
a CORPORATION on account OF a case like
this. there Is more or less question.
That this house for instance, was as
much entitled to fire protection as any
other house in the town, there Is no
ground for reasonable dispute; but 1t
does not follow, of course, that the
house would not have been DESTROYED,
even IL 1t had had as much protection
as any other house in town.
