The Sue pens'on of Pupils.
While engaged in conversatior
a few days ago with a patron oi
the Fort Mill Graded School, the
publisher of this paper was asked
the question whether or not th?
board of trustees can lawfully
ononanrl o rvnntl fVta iwofi
vjuo^/viiu a i i win i/iiv; aiioti'
tion for the non-payment of due*
for the entire session on or be
fore a specified date during th<
term. This question came up ir
in a discussion of the scnoo
board's recent ruling to the ef
feet that pupils who had not paic
within four weeks following th<
opening of the school on Januarj
6th, would be suspended unti
the tuition in full was paid foi
the five months' term followinj
the holidays. There appears t<
he some dissatisfaction at th<
adoption of this rule by the loca
sc 100I board and we fear that i
will not work well for the school
We will take, for instance, thre<
children of one family who an
classed in the 5th, 6th and 7tl
grades. The tuition for the 5tl
and 6th grades is $2.10 for eacl
scholar, while those in the 7tl
grade are required to pay $3.11
for the five months term. Hen
we find that the parent of th<
three children is called upon t<
surrender $7.40. To many o
the patrons of the school th<
payment of the tuition in bull
will mean little, but to a grea
many more it will prove a de
cided hardship, especially at thi
season of the year, and we be
lieve that the former method o
paying tuition monthlv wouli
prove more satisfactory to thoS'
who patronize the schooi.
But to the question of the sus
pension of a child for the non
payment of tuition. We mus
confess that we are not wel
versed in the law upon this par
ticular subject and cannot giv
a po; idve answer. We are told
however, that no child can b
lawfully suspended from a publi
school for non-payment so lonj
as the school receives State aid
If our memory serves us correct
jy, this question came up for dc
pision before the board of ;
praded school in a nearby town
lew years ago and it was finall.
decided negatively. To quiet th
upheaval of public disapprove
and complaint caused by the dis
missal of a number of student
from the primary grades, th
hoard quietly re-instated the pu
pils and they were thereafte
charged no tuition whatever.
Wnether or not it is lawful fo
the board to take such action
we will leave to others to dc
termine, but we again say tha
the former method of collecting
tui ion by the month would b
a great deal easier on the poo
people and, we believe, woul
pe more acceptable to all.
Questions and Suggestions For Counci
We reckon the town authoritie
know their own business vvithou
any suggestions from us, but
all the same, we have a duty t
perform as well as they.
For several years there ha
been an ordinance on the town'
statute book prohibiting mei
chants' or public drays standin
in Main street, except when er
gaged in loading or unloadin
the wagons. Why the failur
of the enforcement of this ord
nance?
Another ordinance prohibit
the throwing of waste paper an
rubbish in the streets, yet it i
possible most any day to rak
up a wagon load or two of tras
from Main and adjacent streets
Why not enforce this law?
Flow about conditions at th
Southern passenger station? I
there an ordinance to prohibit
crowd of "hogs" standin.
around the stove in the waitin
room and spitting great puddle
of tobacco spit over the stov
and floor, making the roor
jndecent to enter? Such an or
di nance, properly enforced
would be welcomed by our pec
pie.
Has a man a right to occup;
the entire sidewalk in the dis
play of his goods or wares?
Has a telephone company th
right to place its poles in th
drains along the streets causinj
the water to overflow and gather
jng vegetable and other matte
which breeds malaria?
What about the speed ordi
nance requiring trains to mak
only a certain number of mile
per hour while passing througl
town, and the ordinance agains
blocking the crossing at the de
pot? Has the town ever rc
ceived one cent from fines im
posed for the numerous viola
tions of these ordinances?
Is there a law prohibiting th
hitching of horses to posts alonj
Main street, and the animal
pawing great holes ir. the stree
which become tilled with wale
and stagnant? If not, pass one
Regulate the burning of- th
9 Street lights, so that they wil
not be in use during the ligh

Car Quit Train at Full Speed.
A most unusual accident oc
curred a few days ago on the
> Southern railway between Co.
lumbia and Charlotte?a box car
in the centre of a freight train
' was lost out on the road, between
stations, while the train was
" running at regular speed, without
the engineer, conductor or
? other attaches of the train being
aware of the fact until the train
was within 10 miles of its destii
nation. It sounds unreasonable?
| even "fishy," but it is the plain,
J unvarnished truth. It was the
I kind of accident which may not
5 hannen airain in t? nonfuw nnrl
7 years from now engineers and
- conductors will sit around block
5 offices and railroad shops and
- tell of the occurrence.
* Freight train No. 74, in charge
1 of Conductor Brock and Engineer
1 j Stannard, left Columbia at an
-; early hour in the morning for
1 Charlotte. When the train
3 reached Pineville, N. C., 10
f miles from Charlotte, at about
1 sunrise, the fact was noted that
r a car which was attached to the
? train when it left Columbia was
* missing. It was missing from
3 the middle of the train, too. It
1 was a puzzle to the trainmen and
t no explanation could be made of
* | the peculiar disappearance of the
b car.
s Shortlv after this discovery
i was made it was reported that a
* Lehigh Valley car had been
i found near Lewis' Turnout,
} about 70 miles from Columbia,
^ between stations, lying upside
b down by the side of the track
s and down an embankment. The
b section master who discovered
f the car was as badly puzzled as
b were the men in charge of train
< No. 74. No derailment had
t been reported by any of the
- train crews which passed over
s tne track that morning and no
- explanation of how the car got
f there suggested itself to the
i finders.
e But when this report reached
Conductor Brock he remembered
, that near Lewis' Turnout the
- train pulled in two and the ext
planation of the double mystery
ij was soon forthcoming. One
wheel of this car had jumped
e the track and traveled along or
, the ties for a couple of miles
e without being detected by any
e one. Another wheel of the cai
g got off and of a sudden the cai
. broke loose from the couplings
- and rolled down the embankment.
>-! This caused the airbrakes tc
a j work and the train came to a
a j standstill, but not until the real
y 1 part of the train had passed tht
e ! point where the car was lying
il i down the side of the embank
1 ment.
s | The conductor got out wit!
e j his lantern to investigate the
i-1 cause of the train's sudden stop,
r : He found the train divided intc
! two sections, the rear end of tht
r , first and front end of the seconc
i, section beign within a few feel
s- of each other. He examined th<
t couplings and saw that thej
g were all right and he naturalh
e thought that the train had mereh
r pulled apart?nothing more. H<
d signed the engineer back, couplec
the two sections up and th<
train moved on, a delay of no
j more than five minutes beinj
" i occasioned by the accident.
,s I It never occurred to him thai
\ a car might have jumped the
track and turned over down th?
q embankment without injuring
the couplings, and it was no
? until he started to check up his
s train at Pineville that he dis
._ covered that one car was mis
' sing, and it proved to be this
^ same car which was found b>
" the section master near Lewis
^ Turnout.
j_ The car, in some inexplicabh
manner, jumped the track with
s 1 out in the least wrenching 01
(j j shattering the coupling an<
s ! when the train came to a stande
I still the two sections drew up ti
h each other and left a spact
which indicated nothing mor<
than that the train had pullcc
e apart. Every engineer anc

Anoikrr Cotton Picker Oat of Season
Mr. C. R. Ilarvin, of Manning
S. C., has invented and patentee
a cotton picking machine whicl
gives encouraging promise o
doing'the work for which it i
designed. The. whole apparati
is to be carried on a special!;
designed four-wheel truck an1
drawn by horse power along th
cotton rows. The principle oi
which the machine works i
something like that of the fa
miliar suction flue at the moderi
ginneries.
A gasoline engine on the for
I ward of the truck furnishes th
' power to run a pair of twin fan
, that do the suction work, whil
connected with the fans ar
four or more flexible tubes, o
hose, that may be guided alonj
the rows of open cotton by un
skilled labor. The force of th
suction will draw up the flues al
well opened cotton, while
' special device will pick out tha
t that does not come freely fron
j the boll.
Mr. Harvin has not made
complete machine, according t
his design, but he has rigged u
i on an ordinary farm wagon a
I outfit that demonstrates his ide
I to be practicable. Being neces
sarily engaged in other bushiest
| Mr. Harvin has had little tim
{to devote to his important in
; vention, but he hopes soon t
organize a stock company wit
; sufficient capital to push the mu1
| ter in a manner that its impoi
i tunce deserves.

us no more in the flesh, yet the memory '
of his.good deeds will remain and be an <
incentive to us to practice those prin- 1
ciples of Friendship, Charity, and
Brothorly Love which were so eminently
a part of his lifd. Therefore, be it

to the willjof Him who rales the
Heavens and the Faith, knowing that
Ho doeth airthings well, while we feel

I at so many times and in *0 many ways,
| proved himself a veritable help in time
; of trouble. Resolved,
Third, that we extend to his family
our heartfelt sympathy and condolence |
in their sore grief, while we are glad to ;
