The gamecock. (Columbia, S.C.) 1908-2006, November 08, 1913, Page 6, Image 6
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.

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.
