THE eRIFFINs COMMITTED.

W. E. Griffin and his son, Harvey
Griffin. Of Fort Mill township, who
were arrested last week on a warrant
charging them with the assassination
of E. P. H. Nivens shortly before
Christmas, were given a preliminary
hearing before Magistrate McElhaney
yesterday, and were committed to Jail
pending further proceedings.
The examination was conducted by
Solicitor ]. X. Henry on the part Of
the state, and w. B. Wilson, Sr., on
the part Of the defense, the solicitor
being present in obedience to a direct
order from the governor.
There was no effort to develop the
testimony beyond what might seem
necessary to warrant the magistrate in
committing the defendants, and very
little was presented that is new except
that at least two witnesses testified to
conversations with w. E. Griffin. which
conversations might be interpreted as
more or less tangible threats against
the life of the deceased. One of these
witnesses. Mr.. Warren, neighbor.
testified that on one occasion about
year ago, about the time Of the burn
ing Of Nivens's store; but whether i'm
mediately before or after the witness
could not say, w. E. Griffin had said
to him, Mr.. Warren, something like
this: IF Nivens should be shot some
of these times, would you come up to
see what was the matter?' witness
replied that he supposed so; but prob
ably would not be in any big hurry
about It. C. P. Blankenship testified
to a conversation in which Griffin, dis
cussing Nivens, had used words to the
effect that he, Griffin, was on the
fence, and was about as liable to drop
on one side as on the other; but 1t
would not matter much considering
the fact that he had lived the greater
part Of his life anyway. witness
stated that so far as what was SAID
was concerned, the words OF the de-
fendant may have been construed to
mean that he might have been think
ing Of moving out of the neighpor-
hood. These conversations were
long time removed from the occasion
of the killing of Nivens. There was
little testimony bearing on the where
abouts of Harvey Griffin at the time
the fatal shot was fired, but 1t was ut
tie, If any more explicit than that CIV
en- at the coroner's inquest
Mr.. Wilson argued that there was
nothing in the testimony to warrant
the commitment Of either OF the Grlf-
fins and asked that they be released.
The solicitor argued the close proXim-
ity of the defendants at the time OF
the killing, and claimed that this fact'
taken in connection with other cir
cumstances. were fully sufficient TO
warrant the commitment of both de-
PENDANTS.
After due consideration, Ma gistrate
McElhaney took the solicitors view
of the matter and committed both de.
PENDANTS to Jail, whereupon Sherif
Brown brought them back TO YORK
Vile.
AS to whether an amount has been
agreed upon, The Enquirer has not
learned; but the understanding IS that
the solicitor stated that he would OF
fer no opposition to the granting OF
hail in a reasonable sum, which sum-
of course, will have to be fixed by such
of the circuit judges as may have 1u-
risdiction or by one of the Judges Oh
the supreme court.

rior .bordered on the front and south
side with a handsome and beautifully
polished countering. In the back part of
the office is large fireproof vault, and
to the left the private office Of the
president. Next behind the bank office
is a large, handsomely furnished room
for the use Of the directors on the oc-
casion of meetings, and still further to
the rear handsome lavatories, clos
cts, etc. All the rooms are well lighted
in day time through front and side
windows and an elaborate system of
electric chandeliers and single bulbs
furnish light at night. Steam radia-
tors keep a steady, even warmth in the
building all the time, and water and
sewerage add still further to the COM
fort and convenience of the quarters.
Altogether the furniture and fixtures
represent a very considerable outlay of
money; but nothing Is more striking
than the judicious wisdom with which
the entire expenditure has been made.
OF course, Mr.. McNeel and his force
are proud of their new quarters as
they have a right to be, and the town
of Yorkville is proud Of them also. as
1t has right to be.

Prof. L. A. Niven of Winthrop col
lege, writes that the college authorities
want another meeting Of the Boys
Corn club of York county to be held al

uary.
The special object of this proposed

ough a discussion of seed selection as
possible, and give the members some
valuable pointers on this important
subject.
Although the date of the proposed

is convenient to have these squares

side. ten Of them in row across the
narrow way of the tray and fifteen
the other way. The lacing with
string should not be done until the
tray has been loosely filled with dry
sand heaped up little above its top
edge. Then the sand should be
scraped off with a yardstick or other
straight edge even with the top of
the tray. After lacing with the string
the tray is ready for planting.
Have the children arrange the ears
to be tested in rows of ten to CORES

the tray. These rows of ears should
be kept In a dry, warm place on the
floor, on corn racks or on shelves,
where it can be certain that they
will not be disturbed or displaced
until the test is finished.
When ready to begin the test, two
children can work to the best advan-
tage, one to handle the indiVidual
ears and the other to plant the tray.
The first takes up ear No. l in the
first row, and, with the point Of a

Hello, Anderson Daily Mail! That
you, Carpenter? We have something
nice to tell, and because we know you
to be sympathetic, we would just lit
tie rather tell it to you than to almost
anybody else We had a call last Fri
day from a most excellent citizen of
this county, who explained that his
mother appreciated The Enquirer so
much that she felt like she wanted
to do something more than subscribe
and he put down several names of
neighbors and people on the plantation
and paid for them. BY the afternoon
mail of that day there came a letter
from a wealthy citizen of York, who
resides in another county, a gentle
man, who after a long career of honor
ed usefulness, has retired from active
interest in business affairs except
where he can help make lighter, easier
and more pleasant the burdens of his
fellows. In that letter there were
some pleasant words of encourage
ment, the names and addresses of a
dozen friends, all gentlemen of more or
less prominence in their respective
spheres, and check in amount exactly
sufficient to pay for years subscrip-
ton for each of those dozen gentlemen,
at regular club rates. And Carpenter,
all of these people insist that we do
not make any hullabaloo about this
|
you this much. Don't you think that is
great? We think it is fine, one Of the
most pleasant of the many pleasant
experiences we have had in quite a
while. Ring off. Central; we've got to
get busy trying to keep The Enquirer
up to the high standard that is being
set for it by these splendid people.

Some of the papers are laying it on
W. H. Hand, state superintendent of
high school work, for saying that there
are too many institutions of higher
education in South Carolina. We do
not fully agree with Mr.. Hand in this
statement; but we have no quarrel
with him either for thinking or saying
what he did. AS we understand him,
he is driving at the idea that there is
need for more and better high school
work in the high schools and less of it
in the colleges. In other words he
wants the high schools to do high school
work, and colleges to do college work
and in this we think he is right. But
when it comes to criticsing Mr.. Hand
too severely, we advise our brethren OF
the press to go slow. There is not an
ADLER, more earnest or more jealous
educational worker in South Carolina
than Mr.. Hand, and when he makes a
statement about educational matters
il is pretty safe to assume that he
knows what he is talking about.
