the office Of magistrate, we are Of
opinion that the governor is wrong
this time. His position is that he has
q right to appoint a man of his own
choosing regardless of the advice and
consent of the senate, and If the in
cumbent whom it is proposed to oust
refuses to surrender his commission,
the commission may be taken away
from him. There is no doubt of the
fact that a magistrate can be removed
for proper cause, in a proper way;
but we do not think that the governor
has any warrant of law for his action
in the present case. The constitution
of the state specifically provides that
magistrates shall be appointed and
commissioned by the governor, by and
with the consent of the senate" and If
that means anything the senate has as
much to do with the matter as has the
governor. There was plenty Of time
as we understand 1t, for the governor
to have submitted to the senate his
appointment of a successor to Magis-
trate Kirby, and when he failed to do
this, 1t cannot come up to him to ap-
point during a recess, except where
there is a vacancy. Even where an
appointment is made to fill vacancy
during a recess, the senate must con-
firm to make the appointment valid.
That Is the constitution and that is
usage.

Certainly Bailey is still senator. II
is to be taken as a matter of course
that in circumstances like that of the
recent resignation fasco there would
be those who would undertake to ar
que that Mr.. Bailey is down and out
Our friend, the Anderson Daily Mail
which does not agree with us on the
two office question, seems to be doubt
full as to what we would think Of the
Bailey matter. Our position is like
resignation was not accepted. We
think that Mr.. Bailey would have been
one of the worst surprised and most
chagrined men in the country If that
had occurred, and we think also that
the benefit that would have resulted to
the senate would have only been sec
ond to that which would have followed
the unseating of Lorimer. But like
Lorimer, Bailey is still senator. Since
his resignation was not accepted, there
has been no resignation. There is nc
question of that, else why should there
be any reason for accepting resigna-
tions at all? OF course, Bailey could
have quit if he had really wanted to;
but he did not want to quit. We have
no idea either that he wanted his res
ignation accepted, else he would have
put it on really common sense grounds
grounds that would not have involved
the qualification of the vice president
Of the United States. or the governor
of the state by recognizing their va
| lidity.

Fire broke out in the garret Of the
residence Of Mrs. Susan Cain on East
Jefferson street last Sunday afternoon
about o'clock, probably from a stove
f1ue. With the assistance Of neighbors
who came Immediately to the rescue
Mrs. Cain was able to hold the flames
in check, and the fire department ar
irving within a very few minutes af-
terward, drenched the spot where the
fire originated and prevented any pos
sibility Of its breaking out again. The
loss, which was not considerable, is
fully covered by insurance.

prospective customer to break the Ice
on the first venture, when he once be-
comes an automobile owner, he Is cap

mobilists Is increasing steadily, and
the tendency for better cars increases
with the number of owners. The Rid

seems to be decidedly partial to the
idea Of rectangular building Of the

some six or eight feet from the ground

Mrs. Hayes Not Guilty. - MOT
guilty." SO said the jury Saturday
afternoon at $50 in the case wherein
Mrs. Rosa d. Hayes was charged with
the murder of Robert NJ. Floyd, a
young medical student of Charleston,
s. c., at her home in Mount Tabor
on the evening of February 4. and
Neill Hayes. her husband. as acces-
sorry before the fact. While there
was a slight demonstration by the
friends of the defendants when the
verdict waH returned. which was
quickly quelled. great indignation was
expressed by numerous people on the
streets that Hayes and his wife would
go free 1t was not believed that a
verdict for a higher Offense than man
slaughter would be returned and, after
hearing the charge of Judge Cook,
this opinion became much stronger.
That the verdict caused surprise is eX-
pressing it mildly--Whiteville. y. c.,

There has been a good deal Of inter-
est manifested in the trial of Mrs.
Rosa Hayes for the murder Of Robert
Floyd. The killing took place at
Mount Tabor, n. c., and the trial at
Whiteville, n. C. Opinions are more
or less varied as to the correctness of
the verdict Very few people believe
the story told by the woman at the
trial, and still fewer seem to doubt that
the tragedy was the result Of previous
relations. There are some who hold
to the belief that the dead man got
what was coming to him, and that the
woman was also deserving of pun
ishment. The probability, however, is
that the verdict would have failed to
give general satisfaction even to those
who want only right, no matter what
it might have been.

Hon. w. ]. Bryan advocates the
passage of a law to compel all news
papers to publish the names of their
owners and the names of holders of
mortgages on their property. The
Enquirer publishes the names of its
owners in every issue. The only mort
gage or other money claim against the
property is held by Mr.. John r. No
body. The owners, however, very
freely concede their complete sub
servience to the best and highest
welfare of the people of York and sur
rounding counties and the state of
South Carolina. But Mr.. Bryan's idea
is a good one, and we have no inten-
ton to treat it as a jest. There are
papers that are owned or controlled by
interests of which the public has but
small suspicion, and it would he bet
ter if the public could be fully advised
Of the exact truth.

THE lNTER-URBAN.
Heavy Contracts Let and Under Con-
sideration,

On account Of some minor objec-
tions. the exact nature of which have
not yet been given to the public, the
letting Of the contract for the con-
struction of the interurban trolley
line between Greenville and Green
wood, has been postponed until the
early part Of the coming week. The
syndicate managers, It is stated, will
make every effort to get the affairs
Strengthened out so as to have the
contract let on Tuesday. The first
contract for this system of trolley
lines, to be merged into the Piedmont
and Northern Railway, was let last
week, this being the link between
Charlotte, n. c., and Kings Noun
tain, \. c.
The contract for the construction
Of the line between Kings Mountain
and Charlotte, was let at the price
Of approximately 100000. This dis
tance Is thirty-four miles. The dis
tance between Greenville and Green
wood is about sixty miles, and on ac-
count Of the peculiar geological con-
ditions of this section, II is estimated
that the construction Of this line will
cost In the neighborhood of $780,
600 or may even run as high as an
even million dollars. The offices Of
w. s. Lee, vice president and l. c.
Harrison, assistant treasurer Of the
Southern Power company, which is
intimately connected with the propos-
ed interurban, have been for several
days kept busy with visits from con-
tractors who are anxious to get the
Greenville- Greenwood contract, ac-
cording to story carried in the
Charlotte Observer yesterday morning.
1t was announced in Charlotte late
Friday afternoon that the contract
would not be signed until Tuesday, in
order to give the promoters time to
clear the way Of some minor obstacles
which had been encountered.
The line between Charlotte and
pleted in 120 days, brings the line
down almost to the border Of South
Carolina. When the contract is let
between this city and Greenwood, this
will leave a gap between Greenville
and Kings Mountain, the route Of
which line has not yet been finally
decided upon. Between Greenville
and Spartanburg. two routes are un-
der consideration. One would pass
through Greer, the other going
through Reidville. The Reidville peo-
pie have made favorable advance to
the syndicate managers. Offering them
$4,000 and rights of way free, II
the line goes through their section.
From Spartanburg to Kings Noun
tain, it is indicated that the line will
pass directly to Gaffney, cutting out
Blacksburg. From Gaffney the line
will go to Shelby, and thence back to
Kings Mountain, and from there on to
Charlotte over the route already laid
out for the contracting constructors.
The people throughout this section
are awaiting anxiously for news OF the
letting Of the contract for the sec
tion of the road between this city and
Greenwood, and will welcome the an
nouncement that the construction Is to
begin at once. For the past year and
a half this event has been looked for
ward to with the keenest interest and
now that the day seems so very close,
the interest has become in a way
trained.-Greenvile News.

fellow Is probably demented; but 9TH

the country with some purpose that
will not stand the light. The fellow is
said to have money with which to buy

very good idea for some magistrate
to look into the case and have the man

terry, Yorkville, on Sunday, after fu-
neral services conducted in the First

lespie. The deceased was an estima-
BILE young man, held in high regard by
all who knew him. He developed tu-
berculosis about two years ago and

But don't let us forget that tradi-
tional cure for national recklessness,
an especial resort of rulers of restoring
power and influence, is the precipita-
ton of war 1t involves the principle
of risking all on single throw. with
the knowledge that success means
unifcation and future loyalty. One of
the most notable examples Of this
within the recollection Of the present
generation is the Franco-Pussion
war, of 1870. Had France been sue
cessful Napoleon III would have con-
tinued on the throne, and his dynasty
would probably be ruling today. Mex
leo is very much in the same position
as was France in 1870.
