It seems to us, and we think to
al! people of good sentiment, a deplorable
shame that neighbors ( 'r)
living in sight of each ut In r should
be strangers. If we are to be
eternally known as the 4,cutoll'."
such conditions might be lilting,
but if we are to be a part of the
social and political body of York
County, we ought to have easy
access to the body of the county.
We are strangers in our own fainil

strangers to us. and so it will he
until (labriel blows his trumpet
unless we unite in a demand for
better social conditions. Then
let us have that bridge across Catawba
lviver as soon as possible;
let us no longer ho strangers in
one house, and let us bo united by
eoinincn lies, social and political.
If the bridge is built we will have
free and agreeable intercourse
among ourselves, besides all tlint
desirable, transient trade now
going down the east side of the
river will at least, he divided if
not diverted, (live us the bridge
immediately.

The supremo court of the Stale
lias rendered itsdecision in t lie suit
r.f John II a~s, (Jiles A* Nornian.and
Miller & Dunnovant against B. I).
Springs, who was a member of
the firm of Jones. Blanton & (,'o?
railroad contractors, who were
building tho Augusta division of
(he Three C\s Railroad when the
latter company failed. The suit
was for more than $100,000 and
was several times before the York
court. The case in the circuit
court was decided in favor of Mr.
Springs and now the supreme
court alarms that decision. It
will b remembered that when the
Throe C's failed, the evading contractors
were n<>t pa d for tin work
they had completed. The tirni of
which Mr. Springs wns a member
had a written contract with the.
~T
subcontractors that the latter
would not lie paid unless the linn
tirst received payment for the
work done, and it was on the
strength of this contract that Mr.
Springs won the suit. The other
members of Mr. Springs' linn
were not sued because they lived
in North Carolina. Rock llill

Praise for Captain White.
The erection of :i monument to
those Indians of the Catawba tribe
who fought f>>r the v onfederacy is
a project which is in every way
worthy of the irreut In art ??!' ('apt.
S. K, \Y hit*-. The Catawbas who
went into the Southern Army are
said to have d me s^ood and faithful
service. Their action was voluntary,
and therefore was the
purest patriotism. It is eminently
fitting that their faithfulness
should be testith (I to bv a
monument near their reservation
ami when this shaft is erected
foil Mill will have the distinction
of poses-in >4 two monuments which
are entirely unique?that to the
faithful slaves and that to the
Catawba Indians. For both of
these Captain White is responsible,
and they both attest his own
appreciative patriotism.? The
State, editorial.
Nowhere in the State of South
Carolina is there to be found a
more devoted ex-Confederate or !i
truer-hearled man than ('apt. S. K.
White, of Fort Mill. lJo loves
everything that bears on the glo
rions history of the South iit the
Civil War, and he has nothesitated
to spend his money in order that
featur> s df that struggle neglected
by all others might be suitably
commemorated.
li whs not so long ago that Captain
White erected a beautiful monument
to the memory of lliose faithful
negroes slaveH who stood by
their masters 111 the great contest.
This monument is the only one
of its kind, and much has been
written and said of it all over the
country.
