han took the matter In hand, and after invstlgation and consultation with the attorney general, tried to do what he could to rectify the mistake that had been made. There is a statute which provides that trustees cannot spend district funds in anticipation of their receipt. This had been done in nearly f every case, the pay warrants having been made to iall due in November | t and December of the following year. \ On the strength of this statute, the attorney general ordered the treasurers of several counties, York among them, not to pay the chart warrants upon presentation. In the meantime, however, before there had been any question in regard to the matter, the school chart agent had discounted all* of his York county notes at the National Union bank of Rock Hill, and when the paper became due that corporation brought suit against Treasurer Neely for its payment. The case was heard at the November term of the court of common pleas for this county, and Judge Klugh's order in the matter is as follows: Upon hearing the verified petition of tne National Union bank in above stated cause, and the return thereto by the defendant, H. A. D. Neely, county treasurer, and after hearing argument of the counsel, I find that the allegations contained in said petition are true, and that tne National Union bank is entitled to the relief therein prayed for, except as the same relates to the order or warrant claimed to have been made by O. J. Gwinn and J. T. Burris as a majority of the board of school trustees of school district No. 16, and as to this warrant, I find that the said National bank is also entitled to have the same paid, unless it can be shown that the same was illegally issued, (as hereinafter provided for). It is further ordered and adjudged ! that the said H. A. D. Neely, as coun ty treasurer, pay unto the National J Union bank, out of the funds in his hands, belonging to the said school dis- ' tricts respectively, all the several warrants mentioned in said petition, (except as to the said warrant purporting ' to have been issued by O. J. Gwinn and ] J. T. Burris, as trustees of school dis- " trict No. 16, above mentioned), together with interest thereon from the date of maturity of said warrants as fol- , lows; to wit: For school district No. 1, the sum of $37.50 and interest, from November 10, 1899. For school district No. 4, the sum of ' $37.50, with interest from November 10th, 1899. For school district No. 7 the sum of $75, with interest from July 10th, 1899. For school district No. 14, the sum of $187.50, with interest from 10th July, I 1899. For school district No. 15, the sum of $335, with interest from July 10th, 1899. For school district No. 21, the sum of $112.50, with interest from July 10th, 1899. For school district No. 23, the sum of ( f $75, with interest from July 10th, 1899. < For school district No. 26, the sum of | $150, with interest from December 1st, i 1899. j For school district No. 30, the sum of ] $37.50, with interest from July 10th, ] 1899. i For school district No. 33, the sum of I $37.50, with interest from December 1st, 1899. ] For school district No. 34, the sum of < $37.50, with interest from July 10th, 1899. 1 For school district No. 38, the sum of < $150, witn interest from July 10th, 1899. It is further ordered and adjudged, i that as to the warrant issued by school ] district No. 16, above mentioned, that < the said sJhool district be allowed 30 days from the date of this order to con- i test the same upon any grounds that it J may be advised, and that it be referred 1 to W. W. Lewis, Esq., to hear and determine any and all issues that may be i raised in regard thereto; and that said ] referee report his findings to this court. .Provided, that said contest shall be , without cost or expense to the said H. A. D. Neely, county treasurer. In case the s^id contest shall not be brought on for hearing within 30 days from the date of this order, then the said H. A. 1 D. Neely, county treasurer aforesaid, ' is hereby ordered and directed to pay j unto the National Union Bank of Rock Hill, S. C., the amount of said war- 1 ranis, 10 wu: The sum of $75, together with inte?st thereon from the 10th day of July, 1^19. , The exception in the case of the order : or warrant, alleged to have been made by Messrs. O. J. Gwinn and J. T. Burris, in school district No. 16, is because F of a claim of forgery. Mr. Gwinn admits that he signed the order or war- ; rant, as a trustee, while Mr. Burtls claims that he did not sign it, leaving the presumption that his signature was forged b^Ae school chart agent. ^ \ ' LOCAL LACONICS. vCWjr'filU 1'imt Office.

The time for the payment of taxes has been extended to February 1. The extension was made by the comptroller ' general and state treasurer, who have the power under the law, to take such action. Both officials were very much opposed to the idea of extending the time for the reason that they knew i..ere was no practical necessity for an extension. Upon the passage by the house of the Ashley resolution, extending the tax time to March 1, the comptroller and treasurer acted, fixing the date at February 1. They hoped that this compromise will be accepted antf that the Ashley resolution will not be pushed in the senate. The extension will be of but little accommodation to taxpayers; but it will give treasurers more or less annoyance in having to refund such penalties as they may have collected up to the time the extension was made. 9100,000 For the School*. At the session of the state board of dispensary directors last Friday afternoon, Chairman Williams stated that the financial condition of the institution now warranted the payment of $100,000 into the school fund, and a resolution to this effect was immediately offered by Director Dukes and unanimously adopted without discussion. Chairman Williams also stated that the dispensary would be able to pay into the school fund $50,000 within the next 30 days. MERE-MENTION.

Johnson, of the Fourth district, has been asked his opinion of the proposition to redistrict the state. Since the census figures have been given out and the attempt in "Washington to reduce the representation in congress of this state has failed, the general assembly is likely to take up the matter at this session, certainly at the next. Redistricting will make radical changes in the formation of all the districts and naturally interest is great. Realizing this an opinion has been sought from the new congressman. Mr. Johnson said: "I have no districts to propose. They are not now satisfactorily formed. The only suggestion I have to make is that the districts should be made up of counties thrown together by naturel and allied by commerce, education, association and convenience. They should contain as near 191,000 people each as possible, that being: the seventh part of the population of the state." . AT THR CHURCHES. TRINITY METHODIST EPISCOPAL. rev. a. n. brunson, pastor.

It lives up to Its agreements ip this respect as well as In ALL others, and this , is why it Is recognized by the Insuring public as the BEST life Insurance company In the world. Read what the Anderson Dally Mall, of January 11, says in regard to the payment of the claim of P. P. Tatum, of Marlboro county, S. C.: "On January 3, 1901, M. M. Mattlson, of this city, state agent of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company of Newark, N. J., sent to his company proofs of the death of Franklin P. Tatum, of Marlboro county, who was Insured in the Mutual Benefit for $15,000. On January 10 Mr. Mattlson received a check for the amount of Insurance, just one week after the papers were sent in. It was a prompt settlement of a large loss." If you are interested in life Insurance it is to your interest to consult me. SAM. M. GRIST, Special Agent. Still Talking Tomatoes.

C. M. KUYKENDAL. Dec. 12 w ly COMMERCIAL PRINTING. ^ LL business men should use printed stationery. They should not use any printed stationery that is not up to the highest grade of work obtainable. It }s just as essential t send out a neatly and well printed etterhead, Billhead, Statement or Envek ->e, as it is to keep the ledger or daybook correct. Good stationery, well printed, always serves as an index to the character of the business man using it Handsomely printed stationery gives to the user a character which cannot be obtained In any other way. It also gives the recipient a good impression of the sender. It shows that the sender Is not careless of the looks of the small things that he sends out, and forces upon the mind of the recipient the impression that the sender is not careless of the large things that he does. "Cheap," shoddy printing always and Invariably leaves a bad taste. Discriminating and careful business men, who have an eye for the appropriateness of things in general and their printed matter in particular, have their work done at THE ENQUIRER office, where they know by long experience that they will get work that will be up to the highest point of perfection in QUALITY, STYLE and GOOD TASTE, and they are also aware that nrlll era* PHK A "P work without liic/ mu gvh W ..?* .. getting "Cheap" Printing.
