TEN GREENVILLE DAILY PIEDMONT, TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1914.

ASK INJUNCTION
TO PREVENT SALE
OF COURT HOUSE
-----------o----------
MR. W. D. NEVES IS PETITIONER
AGAINST COURT HOUSE
COMMISIONERS.
-----------o----------
BE HEARD BEFORE THE
SUPREME COURT MONDAY
-----------o----------
Friendly Proceedings be Brought in
Original Jurisdiction of Supreme
Court Next Monday in Columbia,
to Determine Whether or not
County Has Right to Sell Court
House Property, in Order to
Buy New Site - Petition for Injunction
Recites Some Interesting History,
Relative to Old Deeds.
-----------o----------
The Supreme Court of South Caro-
lina, in session in Columbia, will, on
next Monday morning, according to
present plans of attorneys, hear a pe-
tition from Mr. W. D. Neves,
through his attorney, Mr. James H.
Price, for making any efforts or negotia-
tions toward the sle of the present
county court house property, includ-
ing the court house and Record build-
ings.

Messrs. Carpenter, Harris and
Neves, who are the respondents in
the proceedings, are the court house
comissioners, and under the ac
passed at the last session of the leg-
islature. They will be represented,
in resisting the petition for injunc-
tion, by J. J. McSwain, who has
been counsel for the commissioners
throughout, and who assisted in
drawing up the bill that was passed
at the final session of the legislature,
looking to securing of a decision
by the voters of Greenville county on
the matter of a new court house for
Greenville county.

Friendly Suit.

It is, of course, an open secret
that Mr. Neves is not so anxious to
get an injunction as would appear
from the papers in the case. Much
doubt has been expressed during the
past six months as to whether or
not the county has the right to dis-
pose of the present court house
site and purchase a new site, should
the voters desire to do this, and in
order to test the matter, the pro-
ceedings have been brought, and
therefore, this is simply a friendly
suit. Mr. Neves has kindly allowed
the use of his name as petitioner
for an injunction it being decided
that this was the most efficious way
to bring the proceeding. Should
the court grant the peitition for in-
junction, this will mean that the
county cannot sell the property.
Should the court refuse the in-
junction, the county would be free to
sell the property, should it be found
desirable to do so, and in this case
a new court house, if built, might
be placed at a new location.

Expect Decision Soon.

The matter comes up Monday in
the original jurisdiction of the court,
and it is expected that a decision
will be handded down in the next few
days. Upon the result of this deci-
sion, matters relative to the court
house question will be brought before
the county delegation, and probably
some action will be asked giving the
county another opportunity to get a
new court house.

Historical Facts.

The petition for the injunction set
forth the various occurrences of the
last year, in connection with the new
court house proposition. These are
well known to the citizens. The pe-
tition then alleges that neither
Greenville county, nor any commis-
sion, appointed by the general as-
sembly, nor the state of South Car-
olina itself can sell this property.
Some interesting history is given.
When Main street and Court street
were laid out, the title to all of the
present court house property was in
one Lemuel J. Alston, he having pur-
chased the said property from one
Thomas Brandor, who in turn had
purchased the same by deed from
Richard [Parris?], to whom the proper-
ty had been originally granted by
the State of South Carolina at a
time when all the surrounding lands
were occupied by Indians. The said
Lemuel J. Alston, about the year
1795 or 1796, laid out the streets as
represented in books of record, at a
time previous to the incorporation of
the town or village of Greenville.
The first court house for Greenville
county was built in the center of
Main street at the intersection of
Court street, and after the building
of the court house now known as the
Record buildiing, about the year 1823,
the first court house in the center
of Main street, having been built of
[loam?] was then torn down, thus hav-
ing Main street unobstructed. There-
after, about, the year 1856, the
present court house was built,
fronting on the west side of Main
street. "Further," says the peti-
tion,"there does not appear to have
been any conveyance by deed or oth-
erwise from the said Lemuel J. Al-
ston to the state of South Carolina,
or to the county of Greenville, or to
the ground whereon the first court
house or the subsequent court house
was built."

[article continues on column 2, beneath Croup remedy]

petition advances the argument that
should the county discontinue the
use of the present sites for the county
purposes, the present heirs of Le-
muel J. Alston would have the right
of re-entry and possesion of the
lots of land, and if not, then the
city of Greenville might demand that
the said Court street in the east and
west side of Main street to be left open
and unobstructed, and that no part
thereof be used, for private pur-
poses; and that thereby the county
would use this property, which is
estimated to be worth about $100,-
000.

The petition advances these and
other arguments in great detail, so
far as could be learned by the at-
torneys, they are the only ones which
can be brought to bear in opposition
to the sale of the court house prop-
erty. Mr. McSwain will give the
argument for the other side, in his
response, which will be completed
within the next day or two, and the
court will decide whether or not the
property can legally be sold.

If the property cannot be sold,
of course, all further court houses to
be built in the future, will have to
be built on this site, unless the vot-
ers of the county are willing to re-
linquish this property, and stand the
expense of purchassing an entirely
new site.

GOLDSMITH-RECTOR MATTER COME
BEFORE SUPREME COURT NEXT WEEK
---------------------o-----------------------
Appeals from cases tried in the
circuit court of Greenville county,
will be heard in Columbia next week
before the Supreme Court, when that
tribunal will take up cases origi-
nating in the Tenth judicial circuit.
It is understood that there are sev-
eral cases of importance on the
docket, and a number of local at-
torneys will doubtless be in Colum-
bia next week to argue their respec-
tive cases before the court.

One of the most interesting cases
to come up at that time will be the
appeal in the Rector-Goldsmith mat-
ter, which took place last summer,
when Sheriff Rector removed from
office, his deputy sheriff J. W. Gold-
smith, at Piedmont. This case will
be watched with interest, as it in-
volves the right of a sheriff to sum-
marily remove from office a deputy
employed in a mill village, and whose
appointment was made under a spec-
iial arrangement provided by law,
with the mill management. As will
be remembered, Sheriff Rector re-
moved Goldsmith from office last
summer, without consulting the mill
authorities at Piedmont. On Sep-
tember 8th, the Piedmont manufac-
turing company, secured from Judge
Hayne F. Rice, an order requiring

[article continued on column 4, top section]

the sheriff to show cause why an in-
junction against his action should
not be issued, and temporarily re-
straining him from interfering with
Goldsmith's duties as an officer of
the law. The case was argued and
Judge Rice, on October, filed a de-
cree, dissolving the injunction and
dismissing the complaint, thus de-
claring that the sheriff had the right
to dismiss the officer. From this de-
cree, the mill has taken an appeal to
the Supreme Court. The title of the
case is the state of South Carolina
ex rel. Piedmont Manufacturing
company, plaintiff-appellant, vs. J.
W. Goldsmith and Hendrix Rector
as sheriff of Greenville county, de-
fendants of whom J. W. Goldsmith
is appellant and Hendrix Rector is
[respandent]. Messers. Cothran, Dean
and Cothran represent the appelants,
while Mr. James H. Price represents
the respondent, in this action.

SHERIFFS DESIRE
FIXED PRICE FOR
DIETING INMATES
-----------o----------
The first meeting of the recently
organized South Carolina Association
of Sheriffs will be held in Columbia,
tomorrow, and Sheriff Hendrix Rec-
tor, who is secretary and treasurer

[article continued on column 4, middle section]

of the body, left this afternoon to
be in attendance. Prior to his de-
parture, Sheriff Rector stated that a
number of important matters are to
be considered, with a view of making
certain recommendations to the leg-
islature. The association of sheriff's
was organized in Colummbia on New
Year's day with 23 charter mem-
bers. Sheriff McCain, of Richland
county, is president of the organiza-
tion.

The sheriff's association con-
templates the presentment of a bill
at this session of the legislature to
amend the statue which prohibits
railroads issuing free transportation
to any public official. Believing
that the sheriff's of the state are
entitled to free transportation; when
tendered, the association desires the
legislature to make exception to the
sheriffs.

The association will also ask of
the legislature that fixed price for
the dieting of state prisoners be
made, and will recommend a fee of
40 cents per diem, for each prisoner.
At present the price in Greenville
county is 30 cents per diem, whle
in a majority of the counties of the
state it is 40 cents and over.

The meeing will be held in Rich-
land county court house and will be
in session only for a day.
