GENERAL SESSIONS.

Instead of getting through with it's
work i'm two or three days. as there
seemed reason to hope at the outset,
the sessions court continued all the
week and did not adjourn until last
Friday evening. The delay being oc-
casioned by a series of circumstances
that could not have been foreseen or
prevented.
When The Enquirer went to press
last Friday, the court was engaged on
the case of the State against Charlie
White, charged with the murder of
Will Tilman in Fort Mill township last
April. Both are negroes. At the time
Of the homicide, it was made to appear
that the killing was done in an effort
to protect a 13-year-old negro girl from
the improper attentions of the dead
man. The trial. however, developed
facts sufficient to raise some very rea-
sOnable doubts in the minds Of the jul
rors as to whether things were exactly
as the defendant sought to represent,
and the result was a verdict of guilty of
manslaughter. The court imposed
sentence of two years.
The last case taken up was that of
the State VS.. T. f. Carroll and J. s.
Pruett, charged with breaking into and
stealing a quantity of liquor from the
depot at Smyrna. The jury was unable
to agree and a mistrial was ordered.

GOOD ROADS MEETING.

The Columbia Records Good Roads
meeting is to be held in Yorkville on
Saturday. August 13, and number of
local people believe it will he well
worth while to give the good roads
party a good audience.
There will be several good roads
speeches, the principal one by Mr.. D..

tendent Of roads, one of the most thor
oughgoing road experts in America,
and most entertaining speaker.
Mr. 4. l.. Black, supervisor of roads
for York township, is very much inter-
ested in the proposed meeting, and al
though regretting that it conflicts with
the date of the opening of the county
political canvass at Blairsville, thinks
that there are enough people to Civ"
audiences at both meetings.
The Records good roads meetings
are now well in progress, and are being
pretty largely attended.

the cooperative basis, that is, all the
farmers bring or send their cream To
the creamery where il is made into
butter. After the expenses are deduct
ed the balance of receipts are pro-
rated among the patrons. The patron
gets the full value for his output with
the exception Of what il costs to mar
ket 1t. Mr.. w. J. Shuford, secretary of
the company. says i'm his statement:
THE first months work Of the cream
cry shows that we received 3.13S.51
pounds of butter fat, and we paid the
farmers 80 cents per pound for this
making a total Of $94l.55, For the
month of July we are going to double
this and hope to receive six or seven
thousand pounds of butter fat. We
can take care Of ten to twelve thousand
pounds of butter fat with very little
additional expense and we are very
anxious to get in all the surrounding

have started out well and with good
management there is no reason why it
should not prove a success. The plan
is the same as that operated in the
west and northwest, and is entirely
cticable.-Charlotte Chronicle.

Chester R F. D. No. 4, July 1S.-The
rain and grass is the all absorbing
question. yet we had fine week, had
no rain since Friday the Sth to Friday
night 18th, getting five effective days
of grass killing. We were able to do
as our old friend Bob Carnes used to
do. 1t was said he did not care to plow
his crop until the weeds were knee
high, then taking a good plow, turn
them out, kick and shake the dirt out,
see them wilt in the hot sun, sputter
and spit, declaring that he was doing
execution then. But we prefer to eX-
ecute them when smaller, but circum-
were so favored here six miles north
of Chester, l am sure it rained every
day the past week few miles north Of
here, except Tuesday.
Notwithstanding the dry spring,
some fine crops Of oats were harvested
in the blackjacks, one farmer making
over five thousand bushels.
If the seasons continue two weeks
longer, the corn crop here, where well
worked, will be extra fine-quite con-
trast to that of last year.

THERE is a warm statewide prohl-
bition campaign on in Texas, with four
gubernatorial candidates i'm the race.
Judge William PoindeXter favors an
amendment to the constitution To pro-
hibit the liquor traffic. Cone Johnson
favors statewide prohibition. Oscar
B. C"lquitt is opposed To statewide
prohibition and so is r. V. Davidson;
but the latter is in favor of voting on
a constitutional amendment. Govern
or Campbell has added a dash of eX-
citement by calling an extra session
of the legislature to convene four days
before the primary, and letting it be
known that in the event of Colquitts
nomination. he will ask the legislature
to call a constitutional convention. 1t
REQUIRES a two-thirds vote of the le@is-
lature to submit a constitutional
amendment; but a majority can call
constitutional convention. Colquitt has
been bitterly assailng the present ad-
ministrasion.

Local politics is beginning to attract
more and more attention, and good
many people are outlining their views
Of the various situations, the qualifca-
tions of the different candidates, their
probable strength. who will probably
win in the first primary and the lineup
at the beginning of the second heat,
etc.
One of the most important offices in
the county is that of county commits
sioner. Generally this office seems to
he held as not amounting to much: but
the two county commissioners when
they vote together have more of say
in the spending of the public money
than does the supervisor. Two county
commissioners can elect the county at
torney too, and as things have been 60
ing for some time past, that is pretty
nearly the whole business.
There are fourteen acres Of corn on
the Kings Mountain road just without
the corporate limits Of Yorkville, that
are compelling travellers to and from
Yorkville along the highway mentioned,
to stop and take notice. More or less
experienced judges are estimating the
probable yield at anywhere from so to
100 bushels to the acre. Nobody thinks
of putting the figures less than those
first named and quite a number insist
upon the last named figures. There is
no question, however, that it is
splendid field of corn, and showing as
il does an average of more than two
ears to the stalk, a probable yield of
- bushels to the acre is not to he con-
sidered an unreasonable estimate.
The sentence Of ten years in the case
of Andrew Hardrick, against whom
there was rendered an agreed verdict
for manslaughter last week, was not
made any more severe for the reason
that Judge Shipp thought it just as
well under the circumstances to allow
the county to get the benefit of the ne
gro's labor rather than turn the fell
low over to the state. Hardrick's case
came very near being one of murder,
and except for the agreement on man.
slaughter, ii is probable that he would
have been convicted of murder with or
without a recommendation. The law
provides that convicts sentenced to ten
years and under may be worked on the
chaingang, and that is why the negro's
sentence was no heavier.

Mr.. ]. III. LeseSne of Manning, is a
candidate for congress against George
Legare of the First district, and from
a report in the News and Courier OF
meeting at Walterboro, the situation
looks pitiahle, not for Mr.. Legare, hut
for Mr.. Lesesnc. 1t seems that Mr..
Lesesne was so unwise as to make an
issue of Mr.. Legare's physical condition.
It will be remembered that Mr.. Le-
gare's health gave away entirely, and
he had to go to one of the dry west
ern states for recuperation. 1t deVel-
oped that Mr.. Lesesne had written let
ters intimating that Mr.. Legare would
never he fit for service again. Mr..
Legare explained how, at his instance
friends looked after his business for
him, and with what he said added to
what his constituents knew, people
were constrained to shout that Legare
sick in bed, would be worth n dozen
such men as his opponent alive and on
their feet. AS a matter Of fact, Mr.
Legare is one of the most influential
South Carolinians i'm congress. He has
been able to get for his district about
everything he has seen proper to go
after, and it is strictly true that he can
do things with letter or postal card
that few new men could do at all. We
have no idea that the voters of the
First district are going to make any
change in their representative. so long
as George Legare lives, and in case he
should die. which event we hope Will
not occur for a long time to come, we
are not sure that his constituents
would make a mistake in allowing him
to name his own successor The same
delightful personality which has made
for Mr.. Legare so many friends
throughout his district and state has
made his influence in Washington al
most irresistible.
