charged with numbering Captain a, u
Boycc at $40 O'Clock this afternoon re-
tired at 10 o'clock tonight after arguing
the case for three hours without reaching
n verdict, Tho jury decided to have din
ner before beginning consideration OF the
evidence, so It was o'clock before they
finally got down to work.
Senator Hanger, in closing for the s'al lie.
severely denounced Snsad. Lcnora Snead,
the defendants daughter, was in court
as was Mrs. A.. c. Boyce. wife OF the
murdered man. Both women were in
tears the greater part of tn- afternoon.
Snead himself sat with bowed head and
aside from a frequent twitchlng Of the
mouth. his face showed no emotion.
Judge Swaynes charge 10 the jury was
short and was agninst Sncad He prac~
tically instructed tho jury to bring In a
verdict of murder either in the first or
second degree. No seit-dcfense could he
considered, he said as the evidence did
not show that goyce lnsulted Snead before
the shot was fired.
Lena Sncad, wife of the accused man,
and whose elopcment with young Boyce
led to the murder for which Snead is on
trial, az well as young Boyce's murder
some months later, Is IN Fort Worth under
an assumed name. She came here TO
comfort the two Snead children, Leuuta
and Georgia She spent most of today
at the courthouse, being allowed to occupy
\ room adjoining Judge Swaync's. where
the two children were brought to her III
intervals.
Snead spent the evening with his coun-
Sci at his hotel He WAS decidedly down
cast while awaiting word from the jury
room. Much evidence given In bis favor
at the previous trial wes excluded at this
hearing.

Next he took up the argument that
the Union Pacific was only connect

Francisco. but was dependent upon the
Southern Pacific for such terms as IL
could make over the old Central Pacific
line from Ogden 10 San Francisco. He
said that that was going too FAR, that
the Union Pacific's Portland route was
available and it would have been det-
rimental to the Southern Pacific TO have
declined an arrangement 10 carry the
Union Pacifc's business from Ogden TO

WITHIN THE TOWN

- Business has been pretty good dur
ing the present week and the general
outlook is more encouraging.
The fire department was called out
at about o'clock Wednesday morning
because of blaze in a small house oc-
cupied by Charley Melton, colored, on
the f. E. Smith lot, corner Of Congress
and West Jefferson streets. The fire
was extinguished with but little diff
Guilty.
Mayor Hart and Chief Love were
thrown out Of a buggy at the c. &,
NV, depot yesterday as the result
of the antics of a fractions horse that
objected to the approach of the train.
Mayor Hart escaped without injury
but Chief Love was painfully though
not seriously bruised.
Master Donom, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. E. Spencer Of Yorkville. suf-
fered quite an alarming accident yes
terday as the result Of having piece
Of glass driven into his eye. The boys
were battling with acorns. Master
Donom wears glasses. An acorn
struck, shattered the glasses, and 1t
was feared a splinter had entered the
eye. He was put in an automobile and
hurried to Charlotte for expert exam
ination, which developed that the eye
had not been seriously injured.
About twenty-five citizens of the
town of Yorkville assembled at the
Court House last Tuesday evening to
hear the report of the committee ap-
pointed at a previous meeting to obtain
such information as possible as to the
exact relative costs Of the proposed
new entrance and the old entrance of
the North and South road into York.
vile, Mr.. ]. A. Tate, acting as spokes-
man for the committee, submitted
figures as to the cost Of the two en-
frances; his figures showing that the
new entrance could be built at a cost
of $71.40 less than the old entrance.
The committees report having been
submitted a general discussion Of the
proposition was entered upon. During
the meeting Mr.. Tate read a petition
addressed to the mayor and town
council of Yorkville and signed by 10
citizens Of the town asking that the
town meet the county at the corporate
limits and build the new entrance into
Yorkville. A resolution was adopted to
the effect that the town authorities
and the county commissioners meet at
once and make an agreement concern
ing the entrance of the road into York
vile.
- Al d meeting Oh the directors OIL
the Board of Trade held recently 1t
was agreed that a petition should be
presented to the management Of the
Southern railway requesting that the

Proposed Now Court House.

In another column is published a
pretty full report of the proceedings of
a meeting held in Yorkville yesterday
in the interest of the proposed new
court house.
There has not been great deal of
agitation of this bond election and
there are great many people through
out the county who have not given the
matter much thought; but the subject
is one that is worthy of careful con-
sideration.
1t is our opinion that If the proposed
election were held this week the pro-
posed bond issue would be defeated; /;
but if this should happen it would be
rather because the people have not
considered the subject than because
there is no merit in the proposition.
The remarks Of Messrs. John R Hart
and ]. S. Brice, who have. both given
the whole matter careful consideration,
are worthy Of thoughtful attention
From their remarks it will be seen that
the question involves not only good
business; but considerations of the
health Of the people whose duties take
them to the court house and also even
the proper dispensation of justice.
While it is true that $4,000 is quite
large sum of money, when consider.
ed by itself, relatively speaking it is an
insignificant amount, compared either
with the wealth of the county as a
whole or any one of the considerations
urged by Messrs. Brice and Hart as to
why the proposed new building is
needed. And, when one considers the
ridiculously small proportion Of the
total sum each individual has to pay,
the whole aggregate is a mere baga-
telle.
We have no hesitation in saying that
in our opinion the proposed bond issue
should be voted, and We sincerely hope
that it will be voted.
