H. Counts was charged )vith failure to pay municipal licenso And was convicted in the intendmit's-eourt t at Pomaria. His attorney, Mr. Fred. H1. Dominiek, appealed to the circuit court, one of his exceptions being that three of the names placed,olon the jury list of eighteen were names of, ionl-resideints of Pomliaria. When the appeal came up before .Judge Purdy it was conceded by So- I licitor Cooper and Dr. Geo. B. Crom er, representing the town, that. Counts was entitled to a new trial on other groun1ds, but it was desired to have the question as to the right,of the town to go outside the corporate li mits to secure jurors., te.ted. The ease was argued before Judge Purdy, and he has filed the following order: Judge Purdy's Order. - It' was coneedel at the hearing 0 of' tihe appeal in this case t0hi,t a new trial Aould be -raited but both par-1. lies were anxious for the <ptestion as to the manner of drawiug the jury to he pa-sed upon. in addition to the grund111)1 upon which the motion for a new !rial would necessarily he grant Sectic.-n PS7 of the Code of Pro cedure. Volume 1. provitles that a jiurY shuall he (Irawn in mag-istrates ourts by takimu- the names of res Petable voter, from the vicinity. Section 1971 if the same volume proviles that a jury shall be drawn from tlie cit y in certainl Cases. "Sect ion 2003. whieli applies to t lie case niow uid,er consideration, pro vides that the jjury :hall be drawn in,I tle same manner as in nmaistrates' courts. "The contention on the part of the appellait is that lie is eatitled to a i Irial by jurv drawn from the town I against which tlie offenee is alleged to have beenl comiiitteul, and a strongi argument has been made in favor of that con-tention. 'Tle settlement of the question turns upon the meaning to be, given lite word vicinity. The Century Die tionary defines it to be ''neighbor hood : surrounding or adjoining space, di.trict or country,'' and uses this quotation in this connection: ''Cumi paw is one of the numerous little vil lages in the vicinity of this most beautiful of cities'' (New York). 'Following this lefinitio.-t and il lustration, the term vicinity here would have reference to the coutriy -iurroundinig or adjoining the mnunici pality in question. ''It is, therefore, found alnd aidjudg ed that the drawing of a jury is not imitedi to t.he corporate limits, but imay extend to the neighborhood or counfry surroininug, extendling, o4 course, to no other county. ''Tfhe power' to draw the jury would carry with it the power to ''The appeial is su1dtained and a new t rial is granited, lint not upon th~e '.round that the jury or any part of it was drawn from beyond the incor porai~te limits.

The people on,the main line from ,olumbia to Greenville are delighted vith the present schedule aid if they tre given! a chance to say anything hey will present a huge petition to et the presbnt schedule alone. The )Illy fault with the schedule com es rrom' Anderson and that scarcely -oices the wishes of all the-people of nderson. The following from the Greenville 'ews exprevses the situation very! learly and it is gi'atifying that the Alicials of-this division know nothing f the chdnge: The News has been unable to find ny one who can verify the rumiors hat have been floating about of late ith reference to the change of cheedule of pasenger trains on the & G. Even the officials who ex reise their authority of this division now nothing of such a change. The ruti is, the Southern is not thinking f changing sehedules back to the old igures which were in effect up to annary 6th. And why should the schedule be haiinged back? All the towns along lie line, nom Greenville to Colum ia, are entirely satisfied with the ireseit Schediule. A few individuals tiay he displeased for selfish rea ons, but the public as a whole could at wish for anything better thaln the Iresent arrangement. It suits Green ille and it suits Columbia. the two erimina1- of tle road. Newberryl, h'eenwovd, Hontea Path. Belton, Wit inimston, - Pelzer and Piedilont, the ilportant towns algng the line, are -ontented, and in fact all the towns, is f"Ir as this paper has been able to earn, are pleased with the schedule f the trains. N(w. we will admit that when the iange went into effect Anderson li(i other towns on the Blue Ridge lailroad did not fare so well as unl Ier the former Arrangement, but 14ome minor changes were made in or ler to satisfy the best interests of the najority of the communities served 3y the road, and the situation ovel there seems to have brightened ui onsiderably. The officials of the Blue Ridge may he able in time tc make other changes in the schedule of passenger trains that will give reater satisfaction to the public, and we hope that the matter will finally be adjusted to the entire satisfaction )f all. But, we again submit that it wac the first duty of the C. & G. to giv sat.is factory service possib)le to th< poinits along its own line and not tc give the towns along the Blue Ridg4 first consideration. Tfhe p)resenit schedule of. the Co lumbia & Greenville road is entirel: satisfactory to all the towns situate< thereon anid they would make a might; protest against any movement looking to the restoration of the old schedule Obituary.

Earth has lost its look of gladnie.s, IHeaven seems to us more bright, Since the spirit of our dea,r one, Took its happy homeward flight; knd we long to -eross that river, Long to' rest upon that shore, There to see and know and love hel With the Savior evermore.
