The services were conducted by the

in the meetings and all the services
were well attended.

of residents of East Booth street,

! fused to go to work Monday.

? Rev. S. J. Bethea has been confined
to his home for several days by illness.
?There have been no developments in
the matter of the selection of a site for
the new school since the last issue of
The Times. The committee appointed
to get prices on the several available
sites has not yet reported to the
board what progress has been made,
and, until this is done, nothing can be
; 3aid as to where the building will
| likely be located. In the meantime, our
I people are anxiously awaiting the report
of the committee and the selection
of the site which will follow.
Mr. J. H. Sutton Wins Suit.
The supreme court ha3 recently handed
down a decision in the case of Mr. J.
H. Sutton against the Southern Railway
, ^nmrvonu on/4 f ^ Xiri-! ? *
VW...J/U.IJ uuu i. vi. >r iiiiiuck, u iormer
agent of the railway company in this
city. The plaintiff, a farmer of Fort
Mill, was injured in u freight wreck
two years ago. He sued for damages
and the jury awarded him reparation, ;
both against the company and Whitlock. ;
The supreme court held that the jury
should have been directed to bring in a
verdict for the defendant Whitlock, inasmuch
as it was not proved that Whitlock
stood in any other relation than
agent of the company, and that he
owed any duty to the plaintiff.
The company is held to have been
negligent and the verdict against the
company for $1,300 is sustained, while j
that against Whitlock is reversed.
Senator Stewart Displeased.
The appointment of Mr. Harry E.
, Neil as treasurer of York county is
likely to result in considerable correspondence
between Gov. Ansel, who
named the man, and Senator Stewart, ,
who protests against the selection, on !
the ground that politics had been
brought to bear in influencing the np- >
pointment, says The State of yesterday.
? Mr. Neil succeeds Mr. H. A. 1).
Neely, deceased, and Gov. Ansel made
the appointment on the recommendai
tion of two members of the York dele
gation, Messrs. Sanders and Hollis.
i An interview in a Rock Hill paper
stated that Senator Stewart takes the
t position that the delegation was ignor,
| ant entirely and that as soon as he
, could call a meeting of the delegation
I he would do so and recommend some
l one for the place.
