st. Matthews, November 10: A
decision that will be of great interest
to those counties in the state which
are interested in the new drainage
laws was made by Judge Prince yes
terday. Judge Prince held that the law
for it's validity. The question present.
ed was that under the scope Of the law
as now given, it was equivalent TO es-
tablishing and increasing the bonded
debt Of the communities in which 1t
might operate in a manner which was
contrary to the constitution. The new
drainage law is invoked in a way SIM
liar to the law which allows the levy
Of taxes upon abutting owners on
streets in towns and cities, where the
required number Of holders has sub
scribed to the petition. Judge Prince
held that the levy authorized was not
a tax but an assessment. His decree
setting forth his reasons in detail will
be filed within a few days. The suit
is entirely friendly and Is for the pur-
pose of clearing the way to sell the
securities. The matter will not be
appealed to the supreme court for a
final judgment.
- Bennettsville, November 21: West
Coon, a negro, shot and killed two
white men, Ben Parker and Ben
Johnson. The double homicide was
at McLeod's mill, in the upper part
of Marlboro county, near Kollock.
The shooting occurred this morning
about o'clock and Coon was captur-
ed twelve hours later. He is now in
Jail at Bennettsville. Johnson was
about 35 years Of age. He is survived
by his wife and four children. Park
er was about 32 years af age and Is
survived by his wife and one child.
An inquest was held over both bodies
today, the verdict being that they
came to their death from gunshot
wounds at the hands Of West Coon.
The negro is originally from Cayce,
in Lexington county. The negro Is
said to have gone to Johnson's house,
last night when a difficulty arose. Mrs.
Johnson ordered the negro away
when he is said to have drawn re-
volver and threatened her with the
weapon. Ben Parker took the re-
volver from the negro and it was In
turn taken from Parker by Johnson.
who used it to beat the negro over
the head. The negro is said to have
left, to return later with a gun, which
he snapped at Johnson several times
without succeeding in firing it. He is
said then to have gone to the home
of Lovett Davis from whom he Sc
cured another gun. This morning
about Z o'clock, Parker and Johnson
were walking near Johnson's home,
when the negro is said to have killed
them both with shots from the single
barreled gun secured from Lovett Da-
Wis. The shells were loaded with BIB
shot. The negro escaped for the mo-
oh Of
o'clock, by Sheriff R. ]. Patterson,
who found him hiding in the loft Of
his father-in laws barn on the plan
tation of o. M. Pegues. With Lovett
Davis, Coon was brought to BENEFITS
vile and placed in the Marlboro jail

WHO MUST PAY?

Supervisor Boyd has been very much
concerned for some time past as to
who shall pay the cost Of the homi-
eide cases that have been transferred
from Fairfield to York-the cases
against Ernest Isenhower Jim Rawls
and Jesse Morrison.
The supervisor Is very we'll aware
that according to the statutes bearing
upon such matters, the county In
which the transferred case originates
must pay all expenses; but that fact
alone does not relieve his perplexity.
The people who have to perform
the service in this case are York coun-
ty people, summoned by York county
officers, and who look for their pay to
the treasury of York county. The su-
pervisor understands that these people
must be paid, and he will see to 1t
that they are paid; but the matter
that has been giving him concern Is
how, if he makes payment out of the
county treasury, will he secure re-im-
bursement from Fairfield county.
Under the law as stated by Mr.. ].
S. Brice, county attorney, the York
county clerk Of the court will certify
the amount due each witness and 1u-
ror engaged in the trial Of the case,
and these certification tickets. after
being signed by the presiding judge,
will be valid orders on the treasurer
of Fairfield county. Then in addition
to the jury and witness tickets, there
will be made up an accounting show
ing the pro rata expenses Of all York
county officials engaged, along with
other proper expenses, and this ac-
counting. duly certified and signed by
the presiding judge, will become a
valid order on the treasurer of Fair
field.
But Supervisor Boyd is desirous of
having this whole matter arranged and
understood in advance. There was
something Of a jangle between Fair
field and Lancaster some years ago on
account of a Lancaster case trans
ferred to Fairfield, and York had big
bill to pay once on account of having
one Of her cases transferred to Lam
caster.
It is very we'll understood by the su-
pervisor that unless a matter Of this
kind is looked after properly from the
beginning, the county Is liable to be
held up for a whole lot Of expense for
which 1t may never be reimbursed.

THE EISENHOWER CASE

when is the Isenhower case COM
ing up? Will it come this term ?"
were questions around which most of
the conversation among people at.
tending court yesterday, centered. No
body could answer the questions for
the simple reason that nobody knows.
A lawyer who is connected with the
case, told the reporter yesterday that
it was practically certain that at least
one of the three defendants, Ernest
Isenhower, Jesse Morrison and Jim
Rawls, would be tried at this term.
lie did not think the case would be
reached before the third week, al
though he gave the reporter to under
stand that he knew little about it.
Ernest Isenhower, one Of the three
defendants, and his brother, Rev.
John Isenhower, spent yesterday in
Yorkville, a fact which was known to
only a few people. No reference was
made to the case in court yesterday
and numerous people who are inter-
ested merely out of idle curiosity, are
still curious. Only one thing Is GER
tain about the case. it won't be tried
this week.
Solicitor Henry said last night that
the case would very likely be tried
this court. He also said that Solicitor
Albert f. Hill of Spartanburg, had
been ordered to assist him in the pros
ecution by Governor Manning. and

FORMS OF LAW.

It would not be correct to say thai
the forms of procedure in connection
with the arraignment of defendant
and the empaneling Of jury are very
complex. At the time these forms
were instituted, no doubt the effort
was to make them as simple as posi-.
BILE. But Notwithstanding the centu'
ries during which they have been ir
use, they are still Greek to many OF
the ignorant free American citizens tc
whom they are applied.
Upon the arraignment Of negro de-
fendant in the court Of general ses'
sions yesterday, the clerk Of the cour
explained the procedure In connec.
ton with the drawing Of the jury
telling the defendant that upon the
presentation of each juror he woult
say, "Object," or swear him."
The first juror was presented ant
the clerk proceeded with the usua
formula:
Juror, look upon the prisoner
Prisoner look upon the juror. Wha
sayest thou?"
The prisoner stood in a state o.
daZed stupidity, apparently unable u
realize what was expected Of him, 'ant
after a brief interval the solicitor ask
ed:
Have you any objection to that ju
ror?"

Say, Swear him. then," instruct

that there was any oversight ABOUT
the ordinance which seeks to set ASIDE
an act of the general assembly, they
are welcome; but as for ourselves we
see nothing in it all but the protection
OF that old small, narrow, selfish, au-
,ocrauc spirit that settled down on
The community to it's everlasting hurt
back in 1856.
ii is a long, hard fight that The En-
quirer has had on this question OF
the freedom of the local cotton market,
and we have no guarantee even now
That we are near the end of 1t. We
nave the law to be sure; but we have
had the law all along and since it has
been circumvented time and again
before, what right have we to hope
that it will not be circumvented again
But anyhow, we want to call attention
to the fact that the prediction Whlcn
The Enquirer made in 1856 has been
fully verified in all the years that
have elapsed since, and further, we
want to say that the people who have
all along been standing in the way OF
this reform and who are still standing
in it's way may shout "get-together,
progress" quit your knocking" and
all that until they are hoarse; but they
will not deceive anybody, and further.
more, the community ought not, will
not, cannot, begin to come to its own
until it's cotton and other domestic
markets are set free.
Not only is it necessary to over
throw that protectionist license tax that
was levied in direct disregard OF the
act of the general assembly; but II
is necessary to establish public
platform to be presided over by an
official weigher to be elected by the
cotton producers. With the accom-
plishment Of these things, the towr
will begin to take on new life.

LAW MUST NOT BE EvADED

Attorney General Thomas H. Pee
pies has just rendered an important
opinion on the enforcement Of the 60
hour law. He holds that it comes
within the duties Of the commissioner
of agriculture and the factory inspec-
tors under him to enforce the law
strictly, and according to his view 1t
is virtually unlawful for a cotton mill
to run its machinery more than 60
hours a week. The ruling is as fol-
lows:
"I am in receipt Of yours of the
18th instant, in reference to con-
struction of section 421 of the crimi-
nal code of 1912, and also your fur
ther letter of the 18th instant, in
which you ask whether or not 1t Is
the duty of yourself and your factory

A NEAR TRAGEDY

What came near being a tragedy oc-
Cured yesterday morning shortly af-
ter the Carolina & Northwestern
passenger train left the depot al
Yorkville, when an auto truck, driven
by Mr.. D. B. Parish Of Glover, was
struck by the passenger train, the
large truck being torn up pretty bad
ly, while Mr. Parish, with John Tins,
q negro laborer, who was with him.
received more or less serious injuries.
The accident occurred at the rail-
way crossing on Charlotte street near
the store Of Mr. B. M. Nivens. Mr..
Parish and the negro Tins, who was
driving the truck Of Mr.. ]. Howard
Jackson Of Glover, were proceeding to
the side-track at the Nicely mill just a
few feet from where the accident oc-
CURED, to unload a car Of lumber.
Mr.. Parish, evidently not noticing
the approach Of the passenger, struck
the train between the engine and ten
der the force Of the impact hurting
the truck some distance from the
track, breaking several connections In
the engine and otherwise damaging the
machine.
Mr.. Parish and the negro were
hurled some distance from the over
turned truck. Engineer Scott Brawley
in charge Of the train, brought his
engine to stop within short dis
tance Of the scene Of the accident,
employees Of the railway being among
the first to get to the injured men.
Medical assistance was hastily sum-
moned and the wounds Of the two men
were attended to at once. Physicians
| in attendance said they did not think
either Mr.. Parish or Tins was seri-
ously hurt. although both were suffer-
ing greatly from bruises and cuts
about their faces and heads.
Mr.. Parish said that he was ap-
preaching his destination at slow
rate Of speed, that he did not see the
train approaching and had no idea
| that the train was anywhere near the
crossing.
Mr.. ]. Howard Jackson, who was on
the scene soon after the accident,
said he did not know how much injury
was doLc the truck, but that Mr.. S. L.
Courtney, the we'll known automobile
expert, told him that he did not think
it hardly worth repairing. The c. &
NV. train proceeded on its run af-
ter spending about ten minutes at the
scene Of the accident.
DR.. I. ]. Campbell of Glover, who
was called to attend Mr.. Parish short
ly after the accident, said that one Of
Mr.. Parish's legs was badly injured,
and bone in his hand was broken.
and that he will be incapacitated from
work for some time. The negro Tins,
was able to be up and about yesterday
afternoon but he had to take his bed
today.

- From dispatches of the past few
days il is evident the long drawn out
and bloody effort to take the Darda-
nelles from the land side has about
been abandoned. The Allied troops
are evacuating the Gallipoli peninsula
as rapidly as they can; but the Ger
mans and AuStrians are giving lots
of trouble to the transports on which
the troops are being carried away.
Several of these transports have been
sunk by submarines, but how many
there is no way of knowing. One of
the things contributing most to the
decision of the Allies to evacuate Gal
lipoli was the bringing by Germany
of numerous large calibred, long
range cannon to bear upon the situa-
ton. This has been made possible by
reason of the conquest of Serbia.
