University of South Carolina Libraries
The lighting of' 1e1 ry has been "vastly improved by the substitution of, M4ai for the old carbon lamps both on main floor and in gallerp, as well as by raisj ing the lights in the tlcdves so that the upper shelves are bright* er. Mr. Kennedy ,asks us to say that he recognizes the justice of the critical remarks on this sub ject in a recent issue of Tho Gamecock, and that he has' been working to improve conditions since the opening of the session. He hopes to have the basement rooms properly lighted before very long, and, sooner or later, to be able to place reading,lamps on the newspaper and periodical tables. New lamps for the chan deliers have been ordered. All patrons of the library will hear with regret that "Literary Bob" is too unwell to attend to his duties as janitor, which means that he - is quite seriously sick, and will unite in the hope that his days of usefulness *at the university are not yet over; he has been in service. there longer perhaps than anyone else on the campus. The library has recently pur chased a very fine set of mezzo gravure reproductions' of the World's great art, with accom panying printed cards explana tory of each picture. Tnlce:a look at the Van Eyck in the lobbyr and read the earn; they are worth your study. New pictures and cards will be inserted in the frames from time to tine. .The librarian asks that any one who can supply either of the following missing numbers ef the Gamecock will please com municate at once with: Vol. IV no. 1(1910-'11), Vol. no. 14(1911 -'12). These numbers are need ed to complete the files for the past three years, otherwise now ready for binding. Of course it is of highest importance that the bound files in the library be without a break, and it is hoped that all students will assist in supplying the deficiencies. Lyceum Course. Several students have availed themselves of the opportunity of attending the lyceum course to be given by the city Y. M. C. A., consisting of two lectures and three musical attractions. The speakers are Senator LaFollette and Detective Burns. The pro gram as arranged will last five nights and will be well worth the price of admission. In spite of all the excitement of fair week, a 'large number 'of tickets have been sold on the campus. Mr. Guerrant has tickets on sale for students at the special rate of $1.00 for all fiy'e attractions. (CQntine 1~~ot #*t 4l Y North-Street and Asouth by Soi street.

Henry Greve was. Darnel's' agent for the sale of the five ' Vi cant lots. On October 1, 1911 William Weed saw Greve with a view to purchasing lot 6 on South Street. Greve"asked Jiow Weed intended using the property, say ing that nothing would be per mitted which might injuriously affect the other Darnell lots. Weed said that his son' was -en gaged to be married, and that he (the father) intended to erect on the lot a residence to cost not less than .$8,000 for his son. The statement was true. Greve re ported the conversation to Dar nell. But on' Otober 5 young Weed's engagement was definite ly broken off. Weed, the father, knew of it at the time. On Oct" ober 10 Walter Cone, an inti mate friend of Weed, said to him: "I suppose you have given up all hope of buying that lot on Main Street?" Weed answered: "No. I think that I can well use it for a public garage." Between October 5,and November 1 Weed saw Greve in his office. at least three times every week. The price was always discussed. Weesd said nothing further to Greve as to 'the use he intended to make of the property. Neither Darnell nor Greve ever heard that young Weed's engagement was at an end. On November 1 Darnell deeded to Weed lot 6 for $4,875, which Weed paid in cash. The deed was a warranty con taining no other covenants than those of title, and no restrictions as to the use of the property. Weed has had plans made for a public garage, for which he paid an architect $75.00, and is negotiating with a builder for its erection on lot 6. Darnell has protested to Weed, but the latter insists that he will go ahead with the building. Evidence will establish that the erection of a garage would depreciate the market value of the vacant lots from $90.00 a. foot to $70.00 a foot; and that the Darnell home would shrink from its present value of $12,000.00 to $6,000.00. Counsel for Darnell will sue in equity for reconveyance of lot 6, alleging such prior tender as they deem necessary, the same to be taken as true. Craig & Christopher, For Plaintiff.
