CIRCUIT COURT

The circuit court began the second
week Of the present term yesterday
morning, with all the petit jurors an
swering to their names, and began
work on Calendar /.
The first case taken up was that OF
r. M. Whitesides vs.. ]. H. Wither-
spoon, a suit for $1,000 damages for
alleged injuries to person and humilia-
ton of spirit. The case grew out of
an incident at a baseball game In
Yorkville in June, 1910, and the gen.
eral facts were as follows: The defend
ant was managing the financial end OF
the ball game on unenclosed grounds
Of which he had supervision as super
intendent of the school to which the
said grounds belonged. The plaintiff
was present as a spectator, but refused
to pay the admission price or to get
off the grounds, and the defendant at
tempted to put him off by force. The
testimony as to the amount Of force
used was not positive and definite,
though there was very little dispute
on that point. The jury found for the
plaintiff in the sum Of 5000.
The next case taken up was that OF
Gamble vs.. Insurance company. Ver-
dict for plaintiff in full amount claim
ed.
The court has been engaged this
morning on the case Of G. A Wilkerson
VS.. c. NJ. Inman, a suit for damages
and alleged personal injury and hu-
initiation growing out OF an assault.

GENERAL SESSIONS.

Except for the bad luck Of Judge
Sease in missing his train last Friday
morning, the work of the court of
general sessions would have been COM
pleted; but as it happened, the Eu-
banks case, which was to have been
tried Friday went on till Saturday and
two other cases had to be postponed
until some later date in the term. They
may be taken up next week, or else
continued until spring.
All Of Saturday was taken up In the
trial Of the case of ]. A. Eubanks,
charged with the murder of H. H. Put
nam, in Rock Hill, on June 16 last.
There was quite lot of interest in the
case and because Of the peculiar cir
cumstances Of the killing, feeling ran
high.
Eubanks, who was a policeman, ar
rested Putnam, for swinging a train,
and after starting TO the lookup with
him, shot him. No one saw the shoot
ing, and the story at the time was that
there was no other reason for 1t than
that Putnam had squatted down and
refused to go. In habeas corpus pro-
ceedings later, the claim Of the defense
was that the defendant had reason to
believe the deceased was trying to
draw a weapon and fired in self de-
fense.
The defense set up at the trial was
somewhat different. Eubanks claimed
that young Putnam broke away from
him and started to run. He started In
pursuit, and as Putnam had his hand
to his pocket in a threatening attitude.
the policeman's pistol was discharged.
The defendant claimed that he had no
intention of shooting the deceased and
could not explain just how it was done.
He gave the impression of inadver-
tence, and disclaimed all thought of
intent or malice.
The jury took the case at about dark,
agreed upon verdict Of mot guilty"
shortly after midnight and reported to
the court Sunday morning.
Messrs. Wilson & Wilson, Thos. F.
McDow and ]. r. Hart represented the
defendant, and Messrs. Dunlap & Dun
lap assisted Solicitor Henry in the
prosecution.

AFTER THE PLUMBS.
Looks Like Mix-Up Between Northern
and Southern Democrats.

A Washington dispatch of last Sat
urday to the Cincinnati Enquirer rep
resented that northern Democrats ar
irving in the city were contemplating
a combine against the southern Demo-
Gratis for a big share of the patronage
that the southern Democrats have been
enjoying. The dispatch went on to
say:
TT is probable that nearly all Of the
Democratic members elect from the
north, including Ohio, will be drawn
into the so-called hog combine" which
is expected to make the south disgorge
the rich and juicy committee plums II
has received while the southern Demo
Gratis had a majority of the Democratic
membership.
The recent election turned the tables
and in the new house there will be
more northern than southern Demo-
Gratis.
The southern Democrats have accu-
mulated, naturally enough about all
the good committee chairmanships
They were the veterans when the par
ty carried the house two years ago
and, moreover, in the comparatively
moderate majority, with which, the
party came into control of the house
at that time, they were in easy control
of the party caucus.
Here is the basis Of northern COM
plants:
The chairman of agriculture is Lamb
Of Virginia, who has been defeated
Next in line is Lever, Of South Carolina
Class, of Virginia, is in line for head
ship of banking and currency. Hous-
ton. of Tennessee, is head of census
Pou, of North Carolina, has claims
other big assignments are coinage
weights and measures, Hardwick OF
Georgia.; District of Columbia, john
son, of Kentucky; foreign affairs, Flood
of Virginia; immigration, Burnett, OF
Alabama; Indian affairs, Stephens, OF
Texas; industrial arts and expositions
Hefiin, of Alabama; insular affairs
Jones, of Virginia.; interstate COM
merce, Adamsen, of Georgia; irriga-
ton, Smith, of Texas: judiciary, Clay
ton. of Alabama; library, Slayden, OF
Texas; merchant marine, Alexander
of Missouri, militia, Hay, of Virginia
naval affairs, Padgett, of Tennessee;
patents, Oldfield, of Arkansas; pen
sons, Richardson, of Alabama; post
office Moon, Of Tennessee; printing
Finley, of South Carolina; public build
ings. Burnett of Alabama; civil ser
vice, Goodwin. of North Carolina; revi-
sion of the laws, Watkins, Of LOuis-
ana; rivers and harbors. Sparkman, OF
Florida; rules. Henry, of Texas; terri
tories. Humphrey. of Mississippi; wal
Gains. Sims. of Tennessee. and ways
and means, Underwood, of Alabama.
The members from the north have
been studying this over with care and
profound feeling. They want to know:
why should we sit at the second
table or do without. while We have
votes enough to move in and take
charge of the whole situation?"
Nothing less than radical re-organi-
zation of the committees will satisfy
the northern members. and they are
assured of enough votes to make their
demands good. The combination that
prizes southern Democrats off of the
best committee places will see that the
north is we'll taken care of in the dis
trihuiinn of other house patronage.

STATE AID FOR SCHOOLS
The Appropriation for 1912 Has Been
Apportioned.

The Appropriation for 1912 Has Been
Apportioned.
The state department of education
has distributed to the special tax school
districts of the several counties the
amount of state aid to which each dis
trict was entitled for the scholastic
year 1911-12. The first appropria-
tion to lengthen the school term was
made in 1909. The $4,000 then
granted by the legislature proved to
be a great stimulus throughout the
state.
The legislature Of 1910 continued
the policy under what Is known as
the Garrls act, appropriating $4,000
to lengthen The term Of the public
schools. During 1910, 234 school dis
lricts voted a local tax in order to
qualify for state aid, while during
1911, 223 districts voted local school
tax for the same purpose. The result
was a noticeable increase in school
revenues, although the state appro-
priation was exhausted in neither
year.
The figures of 1912 have not been
fully compiled; but the number OF
special tax districts entitled to state
aid has been so largely increased that
the appropriation for this year will not
meet the needs of the schools. Scores
of districts now levy the maximum OF
mills special TAX for school pur-
poses. In some instances this is fur
ther supplemented by a tax for high
schools, or for bonds.
On November 26, "a counties re-
ceiyed aid as follows:

PLENTY OF BIRDS

Il don't care to have you print my
name, but / want to say that / think
the statement in The Enquirer the
other day to the effect that birds are
scarcer this year than usual is mis-
take, for my observation is that birds
are rather more plentiful than usual"
The speaker was young farmer
who lives about five miles from York
vile and who likes to do some shoot
ing occasionally. He explained that
the reason he did not care to have his
name printed was that 1t might serve
as general notice to the public that
game was plentiful in his particular
neighborhood, and that there was al
ready as much hunting out his way as
he thought was good for the supply OF
birds.
YES" he went on to say, II find
that we have fully as many birds as
usual. There is a covey this year about
everywhere there was one last year
except in the storm swept district
around Glover. They tell me that the
birds have been swept out Of that
whole territory

preliminary to the Inauguration Of n
campaign against the hookworm dis
ease.
The county board of commissioners
has assured the doctor that 1t will
stand for $50 for the purchase of
medicines, and the remaining expenses
will be borne with funds furnished
through the state board of health.
The hookworm campaign has been
going on in this state for some time
past; but most Of the work has been
done in the lower counties, and only
just now are the upper counties being
reached.
DR.. Riser's plan contemplates the
establishment of five dispensaries in
the county. One will be located at
Yorkville, one at Rock Hill, one at
Fort Mill, one at Clover, and the other
at Hickory Grove or Sharon.
A physician of the state board will
visit each of these places one day of
each week, make free examinations
and give medicines without cost.
The work will be commenced in this
county about January l, and DR.. Riser
Is anxious for the people to be we'll
prepared for it beforehand so they can
give the physicians full cooperation in
the location and treatment Of the
disease.

the Irishman. Why" said the Eng
lishman boastingly, IF you had him in
London you could sell him for ten
pounds And faith" replied the
Irishman, IF I had Lake Castle
bar in Hades, I could sell it at ten
shillings a DROP" 1t does seem to us,
however, If the people Of Buncombe,
Hayward, Watauga and other North
Carolina apple counties had the old
time patience and thrift, they might
get something out Of this wasting fruit
by bringing it down this way in wag-
ons; or better still if they would look
into the development of better COM
mercial relations, possibly they would
find a market for more Of their pro-
duce in this section. But maybe after
all, our North Carolina friends are
coming to despise the humber things
that they used to consider so impor-
tant, and like so many other folks are
directing their activities to the raking
in of bills of the larger denomination,
where formerly they were content
with dollars and dimes.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-12-03

The Nicholson act TO encourage
consolidated and graded schools in
country districts passed in 1912. prov
ed a special stimulus to better schools.
In Greenville county alone 25 districts
voted special taxes in order to take
advantage of the measure. In conse-
quence of the late date Of opening in
some of these schools, their applica-
tions must lie over to the spring OF
1913.
There are still on file in the office
of the state superintendent Of educa-
ton a large number of building ap-
plications. extension applications and
rural graded school applications. 1t
Us certain that the number and
amount of these claims will be larg-
ly increased during December, because
applications from belated schools and
overworked superintendents are COM
ing in daily.
Superintendent Swearingen states
that in his opinion the policy of direct
state appropriations to the free pub
'ic schools, and the resulting stimulus
to local school taxation in every sec
ton of the state, constitute significant
ea-ures in our recent educational de-
velopment.-Columb State.
