SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

ON the recommendation Of the
Barnwell bar, Mr.. w. B. deLoach OF
Camden, has been appointed by the
chief Justice to hold the special term
Of court, which convenes in Barnwell
on November 6.
The Farmers Union Association
Of County Business Agents, in session
In Columbia this week, adopted reso-
lutions declaring that the price of fer
tilizers is too high and that 1t must
be reduced.
Mr.. Robert w. Sartor, prominent
young business man Of Union, died In
that city last Tuesday afternoon Of
typhoid fever, after an illness Of two
weeks. He was 3S years Of age and
is survived by widow and one small
son.
The following is a spec, al from
Waxhaw, N. c.: VERY much excite
ment, as we'll as amusement, was
manifested here on the streets Of Wax
haw this evening, when II became
known that the large sign painted and
put up by the people Of Waxhaw to
designate the birthplace Of Andrew
Jackson, had been taken down and
moved down the road for a mile and
put up on South Carolina soil, pointing
directly to the place and spot the
South Carolina friends claim the much
honored president was born; On his
return from across the line this after
noon, DR.. Ezell, a prominent physi-
clan Of this city, broke the news here
on the streets that the sign was actu-
ally standing on South Carolina soil at
the aforesaid place. No clue whatever
as to the guilty parties. DR.. Ezzell,
being very presumptuous man, en-
tertains an idea that 1t possibly lies
between two or three agencies, but he
will not give any definite expression
as to who he thinks would likely be
John Robinson's big shows are at
Monroe, and possibly some falxir, who
is following the show, seized upon II
to make a tent; also 1t Is a known fact
that this sign was on the road from
Columbia to Charlotte and the fact
that Editors Hemphill and Gonzales
were to appear in Charlotte on or
about the first Of November, possi-
bly, having to come this route In order
to get to Charlotte, might have heen
implicated In having the state line
10
start out right on November 1. But,
anyway, the sign is on South Caro-
lima soil and the people Of Waxhaw
and community will not stand for It."
- Chester special Of November 1 to
the Columbia State: Solicitor Henry
read In court this afternoon q letter
from Governor Blease advising him
to drop the prosecution Of the Work.
ing Mans club cases In the. circuit
court, as to prosecute these cases, the
governor contended, would only entail
useless expense on Chester county.
The governors letter said he had been
reliably informed that when the Work.
ing Mans club cases were settled
with the city Of Chester, by payment
of $500, II was with the understand
ing that all further prosecution would
be dropped unless the club should be
guilty Of further violations Of the dis
pensary law. The governor said he
believes in prosecution, but not perse-
cution. The action Of Solicitor Hem
ry in giving out the letter Of the gov
ernor was the result Of card in To-
cal paper yesterday, signed by w. II.
Newbold, attorney for the Working
Mans club, which took the solicitor to
task for not giving out bills Of indict-
ment IN a certain other case and In
the club cases referred to. Mr.. Henry
explained the former case by stating
that in his opinion the case of the
state Is very weak. The accused Is
out on bond, and the states main wit
ness Is not able to attend court at this
time. He then took up the Working
Mans club case. This, Mr.. Henry
stated, was filed In the clerks Office
only yesterday, and only one witness
has been bound over. Necessarily he
was not in position to give out a bill
Of indictment or to proceed with the
trial of the case. Mr.. Henry stated
further that he has been told by May
or Wise that there was no agreement
made by the city when settlement was
made with the Working Mans club to
drop further prosecution, and that
prosecution In the circuit court Is en-
tirely in order. Judge Watts, at the
conclusion Of Solicitor Henry's re-
marks, addressed the grand jury brief
ly. He complimented Mr.. Henry as q
solicitor and said the solicitor has en-
tire direction Of the trial Of cases In
the criminal court and Is at liberty to
hand out a bill or not hand 1t out. just
as in his opinion the cause Of justice
would be furthered or hindered there
by.
