Opposition to Negro Enumerator.

Spartanburg, April THE citi-
gems of Pacolet station and Trough
Shoals are,very much opposed to hav-
ing the negro, R. L. Moore, as census
enumerator in their section OF Paco-
let township. A petition signed by
more than 100 prominent citizens,
asking that Moore be. removed and a
white man appointedan his place, has
been forwarded to George M. Pritch7
ard, supervisor of census, Greenville.
The people of Pacolet tnd Trough
Shoals think that a negro is not the
person to greater statistics for the
census. They do not belive that the
people will give him the information
and SO state in their petition to the
census supervisor at Greenvil1e.
R. L. Moore is negro who has
taught a colored school at Pacolet
and also at White Stone. He now
carries the mail between Trough
Shoals and Pacolet station. Pacolet
township is divided into three sections
ind each section given to separate
enumerator. So opposed are the peo-
pie to having a negro enumerator that
it is believed Il one began to serve
that it woul1 be made so unpleasant
that the friction would result in Sc
rious trouble.

Bad on BilbO.

w. A. White, an attorney from
Biloxi, told of trying out Senator
Bilbo in 1908. A bill was drawn
and sent by man named Bob Nose
ley to Bilbo. Moseley returned and
said:
"Bilbo did not give me a chance
to make him proposition, he made
us one."
Robert Moseley, formerly town
marshal of Biloxi, said:
II went to see Bilbo, and when
explained the pill he took out little
book, figured a while and said, 1t
will cost you three hundred dollars.
I offered him a check, but he said he
wanted money"
After Noseley had testified, the
Senate adjourned until tomorrow.

GREAT CRASH, AWFUL REPORT.
Strange Occurrence Excites People Of
Cherokee.

Gaffney, April 8.-The people of
the Aratt section, about ten miles
from this city, were greatly terrified
last Friday night, about 8 o'clock,
when a series of binding flashes were
seen in the sky, followed by a great
crash and awful report. The houses
for a distance of two miles around
were shaken and the glasses in the
windows became loosened by the re-
port. The whole neighborhood was
aroused but all were too frightened
to investigate the matter on that
night. The following morning a
squad was, formed and several people
went to the place from which the re-
port came and a yawning hole was
found, about fifteen by twenty feet,
and little over six feet deep. Moth
ing else was found.
It is generally believed by the peo-
pie of the Araat section that it was a
meteor which fell, causing the blind
ing flashes and the great noise.
They are all firmly convinced that it
could have been nothing else, and the
fact that Halley's comet has now be-
come visible in Gaffney lends color
to the opinion, they believing that his
may have in some way been respon-
sible for the occurrence. No theory
other than that it was a comet
has been advanced, as it Is
'the> only possible thing that
would have come through the air
and caused such a disturbance. No
effort has been made to see whether
or not it is, hurled in the hole, and
the speculations as to whether or not
it was really a comet are rife in Gaf-
ney and the above named community.
Doubtless an effort will be made at
once to dig into the hole and If pos
sible to locate the object and doubt.
less some interesting developments
will arise. If it be meteor and is
anywhere near as large as Is the hole
that was made, it must indeed be
wonderful. Meanwhile the people OF
Araat are much excited over the
question, and are very anxious to
learn the cause of the peace Of the
community being disturbed.

the use and enjoyment Of the right. OF
way for the purpose for which
it was previously procured. Pre-
scription rests in the presumption of
a grantor dedication, and as the rail
road company has no power either to
grant or dedicate its right Of way for
any other purpose for which it
was acquired, the presumption
cannot arise, and therefore, neith-
er. private. individual nor pub
lie, can acquire by prescription
of a railroad, which is incompatible
with the purposes for which it was
acquired, or which would hinder or
impair the railroad company in dis
charging it's duties to the public, i'm
posed upon it by law.
The Circuit Court seems to have
taken the view. that the doctrine OF
adverse possession was applicable to
the case and the jury were charged
accordingly. But the facts of the
case do not bring it within the prin-
ciples laid down in Beaudrot VS.. Ry.,
63 S. c., 266, and Hill VS.. Ry., 81 S.
c., ,5S4. In each Of those cases, a
part of the alleged right Of way was
enclosed by substantial fence, and
held in possession for the statutory
period under claim OF right, exclusive
Of any right or interest therein by the
railroad company. 1t was held In
those cases that such an assertion OF
right to the exclusive occupancy OF
the land in question was incompa-
tiole with the easement. But in this
case, no such possession, of any part
of defendants right of way was
shown, and no use thereof was prov
ed, which is incompatible with the
purpose for which it was acquired.
The fact that fendant owns the fee
in the land, and not merely an ease
ment, can make no difference for If
defendant cannot alien or lose by pre-
scription an easement acquired by
purchase or condemnation, neither
can it alien or lose by prescription
the fee in the right Of way acquired
by purchase. It is not the character
of the estate, but the public purpose
for which it was acquired, and with
which it is burdened, which takes 1t
out of the general rule.
The verdict Should have been d.
rected for defendant. Judgment re-
versed.s>, ~ -

"It is an absurd and insulting

A number of senators were on their

order, a dozen men were shouting,
and above the uproar could be heard
the trembling voice Of Senator An

From the rear of the Senate, slen-

Chorus. Lassies Sleep in Prison.


Fort Wayne, Ind, April S.-Bluff-
ton is a dry town and to this is due,
the anti-saloon people say, the fact
that there are no prisoners in the wet
county Jail which houses the chorus
of a light opera company.
The Methodist conference is in ses-
sion, and all the hotels were packed
to the limit, SO there was no other
place open to the girls. The COM
pany arrived during the afternoon,
and the manager found every hotel
and lodging house crowded.
After male members of the com
pany succeeded in securing quarters
no place could be found for ten girls.
Finally it was suggested to him that
sleeping room could be secured at
the county Jail. He preached the
matter to- the girls and they consent
ed to go there.

by Senator Bilbo with having paid
him a bribe, had been on the stand.
He had denied the charge fatty, and
was being cross-examined by Senator
Tucker, of counsel for Senator Bilbo.
The witness was unshaken in his
denial of any crookedness, but de-
clared that Bilbo repeatedly limited
that he could be bribed, and repeat
edly asked for and received bottles
of liquor. He declared that Repre-
sentative Cowart intimated that he
would not be averse to selling his
