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.

January Kohch.
The Enquirer is the recipient of a
box of beautiful roses sent by Mrs. W.
B. Good, of Bullock's C*>ek, on Monday.
Mrs. Good explained that the
roses developed in her yard, out in the
weather and without the slightest effort
at protection from the winter. The box
contained about two dozen buds and
full grown blossoms, constituting al*
together a remarkable production for
- January.
Tax Time Fxtended.
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.

(Ttmt Joseph T. Johnson Thinks.
Spartanburg Journal: Congressmanelect
Jos. T. 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."

THE Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company of Newark, states In Its
policy contracts that losses will be paid
on acceptance of proof of death. 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."

it is to your interest to consult me.

WITH the finishing of stock taking,
we find on our shelves and counters
quite a quantity of winter goods
that we do not wish to carry over to
another season. And with this fact
well impressed on our minds we have
Inaugurated a SIXTY DAYS CLEARANCE
SALE, and we will try to make
as clean a sweep of all winter goods
during this time as does a farmer of
the timber when clearing up a new
ground. It is desirable to do this, because,
as stated above, we do not desire
to carry, goods over, and then, too,
we are going to need the room for the
proper storing and displaying of an immense
stock of spring goods which will
begin to arrive now in a few weeks.
We have reduced prices on almost everything
in stock, and as is well known
when Strauss used to say "Reduced
Prices," it meant just that, and it also
means just that with the new firm of
H. C. Strauss & Co. Just to give you
an idea we will mention a few items.
We will close out at the remarkably
low price of $1.98, one lot of Men's
Melton Overcoats, that are easily and
well worth $2.50 anywhere, and all other
coats at proportionate reductions.
We have these coats in sizes from 34 to

SECONDS
OF TIME
1
DO not amount to much ordinarily;
but if your watch is losing a few
seconds a day or gaining a few sec- 1
onds a day, it means a great deal of
annoyance. There is hardly any excuse
for a watch doing either of these
things, and if you will leave your watch
with me for a few days I will put it in
such good conditijn that you will have
no more trouble with your chronometer.
All of my watch repairing, cleaning,
etc., is guaranteed to give you
satisfaction, and as my reputation for
doing good work is at stake on every
Job I do, I think you can safely depend
on what I promise you. If your watch
loses or gains in time bring it to me
and have it put in condition. My
prices will be found to be entirely satisfactory.

I DESIRE to inform my friends and
former patrons that I have sold all
my right, title and interest in my INSURANCE
BUSINESS, (Fire, Accident,
Plate Glass, Bond and Surety), to
Dr. C. M. Kuykendal, together with
my good will, and in order that I may
fully carry out my contract of sale, I
would respectfully ask that they give
to Dr. Kuykendal, in the future, the
support so liberally accorded me in the
past. W. M. PROPST.
As will be seen from the above, I am in
The Insurance Business,
and am thoroughly acquainted with it
in all its details.
I would like to have it understood
also that the insurance business is no
SIDE ISSUE with me; but my principal
business, and assure my patrons
that when you intrust your business to
me, it will receive prompt and careful
attention.
I also write

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
