CIRCUIT COURT.

In the case of Magill VS.. the South
ern railway, which. was being tried
when the last issue Of The Enquirer
went to press, the jury found for the
plaintiff In the sum of $4,000.
When court convened yesterday
morning the first case called was that
Of Laura E. Parish against the Town
Of Yorkville. The plaintiff contended
that the town had emptied it's sewer
age In branch or stream belonging to
G. e. Spencer short distance from the
point where this stream passes into
plaintiffs land; and that by reason of
such sewerage being emptied into the
stream, its waters were polluted and
made unfit for use, and asked damages
In the sum Of twenty five hundred dol
lars, or else that she have damages in
the sum of one thousand dollars and
that the town be enjoined from empty
Ing Its sewerage into the branch.
The town demurred to the complaint
on the ground that the plaintiff had
not properly brought her action, con-
tending that municipality could not
be sued for tort unless expressly au-
thorized to do so by statute; that the
statute did not authorize suit as here
brought but on the contrary plaintiff
should have mandamuscd the town
council and required them to condemn
the property in the event that the town
refused to do It WITHOUT such proceed
ings. The court upheld the demurrer,
stating that condemnation was the
proper method of ascertaining the
damages, II any, and that II the town
refused to condemn, then plaintiff
should mandamus 1t, and require con-
domination.
There were no other cases ready for
trial, the jurors were discharged, sew
eral motions for new trials were over
ruled. and the court adjourned, with
the understanding that Judge Seasc
will hear certain other motions at his
home In Spartanburg.

sued pardons yesterday to 316 state
and "A county convicts as a protest
against the convict lease system In

convict camps will be abolished, Sew
eral camps where convicts are en-
gagged in the building of good roads,

tion. The convicts pardoned, were

teen years.

planning his action in issuing the par
dons, scored the convict lease system

sentences for trivial offenseS
The governor in his statement de-
clares reports made to him by special

case"
The statement does not give the in
formation secured in detail.
In answer to his critics. whom the
governor quotes as having said that a
state pententiary could not be de-
signed as a Sunday school," he says:

The troubles of General Daniel
Sickles of New York, continue. The
general is chairman of the New York
Monuments commission which has had
the disbursement Of large sums and is
said to be short s2S. in his ac-
counts. which sum 1t is alleged has
been lost in stock speculation and the
attorney general of the state is after
General Sickles to make good. Other
members of the commission, who have
been serving with General Sickles, are
trying to get their designations accept
ed In a general way, 1t appears that
at the bottom of the trouble is the
common disposition Of the public to
honor men because of prominence at
tanned in various ways. For instance
General Sickles owes his prominence
mainly to the fortunes and accidents
of war; but since the war the record
he has developed has been somewhat
lively. He shot a man about his first
wife married again, became estranged
from his second wife beca Use of undue
fondness for young girl in Paris, now
prominent in New York society, and
has been going at a pretty fast pace
generally. The New York public ap-
pears to have been willing to stand for
all these things, and others not men
toned; but that s2S,746.44 shortage
it appears, is something that the New
York public will not stand for.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1912-12-17

bytery 1t Is stated that new light had
been received on the proposition,
causing the body to rescind its former
action, opposing the removal Of the in
stitution.
Moderator F. w. Gregg when asked
If the Presbytery would make public its
reasons for endorsing the removal of
the college stated, that there were a
number and he felt that If an explana-
ton were made 1t should be very full
one and consequently he would rather
refrain from making a cursory expla-
nation at this time.
However, from conversations with a
number of the members here attending
the session, 1t was believed that the de-
nomination does not believe that Green
vile will stand by the institution. Re-
Gently canvass was started to secure
100000 for the institution but less than
$1,000 was subscribed. The Greenville
members Of the denomination want the
matter held open until March but by
that time the Laurens proposition will
be out of date and that city may not
renew her request. Accordingly the To-
cal Presbytery believes that action
should be taken at once. While the
foregoing Is not official 1t is thought
that the chief reason for the adoption
Of the resolution is embodied in sub
stance therein.
The resolution in full follows:
Whereas, the board of trustees of
Chicora college has not met since the
fall meeting Of Bethel Presbytery, thus
leaving the way open for a reconsider
alton of Presbytery's action at that
meeting, touching a proposition from
the city of Laurens for the removal of
the institution from Greenville to that
city, and
Whereas, since it's fall meeting the
Presbytery has obtained new light upon
the matter of removal, leading it to
rescind its action, declining to concur
in the recommendation Of said board:
Resolved, the Presbytery do not
concur in the recommendation Of the
board of trustees of Chicora college
that the proposition of the city Of Lau-
rens be accepted and the institution be
removed to Laurens."
There was a large attendance upon
the meeting. Other business was the
dissolving Of the pastoral relations Of
Rev. It. B. Craig with Hopewell
church, Rev. Mr.. Craig having resigned
that charge. Rev. T. w. DeVane. the
new pastor Of Liberty Hill and Heath
Springs churches, was received into the
Presbytery from the Florida Presby-
terry,
