WINTHROP COLLEGE WINS SUIT AGAINST ROCK HILL DISTRICT The State has won out in the \ now famous Rock Hill school j case, the effect of the decision being to permit Winthrop college ( to erect a modern practice school } on the Rock Hill high school J property that has been in dispute / for the last two years. / The case grew out of the act of a maiority of the trustees of the Rock Hill school district selling to the trustees of Winthrop college the old high school property which formerly belonged to Davidson college. Trustees Long, Wilson, Cherry and Jones got out an injunction to try to stop the sale and the matter was' passed on by J. Lyles Glenn, of Chester, in referee's court, and then before two circuit judges, Judge. Memminger, of Charleston, and Judge Ernest Moore, of Lancaster, all of whom decided in favor of Winthrop. Not satisfied with that the minority carried it to the supreme court, I which also decided in Winthrop's favor. As the case is one very much involved, the facts as given by Associate Justice Hydrick in rendering his opinion will be the best from which to draw conclusions as to the various matters that were at issue: "The trustees of Winthrop Normal and Industrial college desiring to build and eauip a model practice school building in connection with the college, applied to the Legislature for an appropriation pf $20,000, stating that such a building, properly equipped, would cost $45,000, but that they could raise $25,000 of the amount needed. By an act, approved February 13, 1907, the sum asked for was appropriated, on condition that the trustees I raise $25,000 additional for that ^ mi i i A. l purpose, ine aumuonai sum was m raised and deposited in a bank, whereupon, by the terms of the m act, the appropriation became B available. "Under the terms of the act r the sum of $45,000 was to be ex pended in erecting and equipping the building; therefore, no part of it could be used in purchasing a site. It appears, however, that a friend of the college offered to give $25,000 for this school on condition that the trustees raise $30,000 more, making in all $100,000. "It does not appear that any other condition was attached to this offer, such as that the money was to be used only in erecting and equipping the building, as was the condition with the appropriation. The trustees of the college reported this offer to the legislature in 1908, and stated that they expected to raise the urlrlifinnal curv* nf 'tQfl OfWl It UV4V<t tlV/UUI OU1II VI. f^vv, VVV. * V appeared, however, at the time of the trial before the referee that they had not succeeded in doing so. "As there was no suitable place on the college property for the location of the practice school, negotiations were commenced with the Rock Hill school district (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8.)

After a consultation with Dr. J. B. Elliott, member of the Fort Mill board of health, relative to the health situation of the town. Mayor L. A. Harris Thursday afternoon ordered the discontinuance of th? use of water from the public .well on Main street and the pump was at once dismantled. It will be recalled that a communication was received some days ago from Dr. F. A. Coward, State bacteriologist, after he had analyzed the water of the public well, in which he stated that the water was contaminated. Thereupon the board of health ordered the well cleaned out, thinking thereby to remove the contamination. But a second letter from Dr. Coward stated that the water was infected with animal and human feces and that he knew of no chemical treatment to which the well might be subjected which would purify the water, that it was necessary to remove the cause of infection. It is not known when, if ever, , the use of water from the public ; well will again be permitted. Meanwhile, there are not a few citizens of the town who would be pleased to see the well filled in. New Money Order Forms. Postmaster B. H. Massey, of Fort Mill, informs The Times i that within a few weeks the postoffice department will issue a new form of money order to take the place of the forms which have been in use for several years. The principal feature of the new form will be a detachable coupcn which will be presented with the money order by payee or endorsee at the paying office. It is stated that the names of the remitter and payee will not appear in the body of the order, but the sending of the coupon with the order will serve to acquaint or remind the payee of tne name ot tne person entitled to credit for the remittance. The order and coupon together are somewhat longer than the order now in use, but may be handled conveniently with commercial paper by banks and business houses. The width is the* same as that of the present order. An Editor's "Good-bye." An Illinois editor retired from journalism and his "good-bye" is chronicled in the following language: "The undersigned retires from the paper with the conviction that all is vanity. [ From the hour his paper was started to the present time he! has been solicited to lie on every given subject, and can't remember of having told a wholesome truth without diminishing his subscription list or making an enemy. Under these circum-! stances of trial, and having a1 thorough contempt for himself, i he retires in older to recruit his I moral constitution." ME OFFICERS IN DEMOCRATIC ~ j. II .

THINGS SEEN ON CANADIAN TRIP BY CITIZEN FROM THIS SECTION Mr. W. B. Ardrey was one of a party from this section which recently went on an excursion through the North and into Canada. Asked to relate some of his observations and experiences while on the trip for The Times, Mr. Ardrey said: "What struck me most? Well, the first that hit fair was the announcement of a round trip from Washington to Niagara Falls for $11, about one cent per mile. Promptly taking advantage and jumping to Phila delphia, we passed up the beautiful Lehigh valley along the < banks of the river with a range 1 of mountains on each side within rifle shot and when we lost sight of this river it was flowing apparently the same quantity of i water as when it was first seen 100 miles below. You know the Catawba gradually dwindles to a spring within 150 miles; the < reason of course is the limited area between the mountains from which the water supply is obtained. The river passes very little more water than Sugar creek at the shoals, yet it is nearly as large as the Catawba. "There are coal andiron mines continually within view and the disturbing question seems to be to get rid of the refused coal and iron dust. Great mountains of it have accumulated and, by the way, the coal dust would be very acceptable down here where we would find it profitable to pick out the lumps of coal.

M. Culp, who was struck in the head with a tin bucket in the hands of Gati Helms, also 14 years of age, as the two were returning to their respective homes from the Gold Hill school last Tuesday afternoon, died Thursday morning as a result of the blow while on the way to a Charlotte hospital, where an operation was to be performed upon the boy in the hope of saving his life. A coroner's jury, with J. H. McMurray as foreman, held an inquest over the body of Aubrey Culp Thursday night and returned a verdict holding Gati Helms responsible for his death. As soon as the news of the Culp boy's death reached Magistrate J. W. McElhaney, a warrant was issued for the arrest of Gati Helms. He was taken into custody at 1 > ' ' untc ituu cumiruLtea to me county jail Friday morning. Both boys lived in Fort Mill township with their parents and attended Gold Hill school. Tuesday afternoon they were returning home together and got into a dispute, which ended in the Helms boy striking young Culp with his bucket. The Gulp boy reached home apparently little the worse for the blow, but that night became delirious and a doctor was called in. After examining the wounded boy the doctor stated that he was suffering from concussion of the brain and that there was little hope for his recovery. Arrangements were then made to take the boy to a Charlotte hospital for an operation, but he died Thursday morning in the ambulance between the Charlotte depot and the hospital. The funeral of Aubrey Culp was held Friday morning and the burial was in the Fort Mill cemetery. Finley & Miller, of Yorkville, have been engaged to defend Gati Helms. Bond has been granted the boy in the sum of $1,000, with a number of Fort Itf.'ll * mm men as sureties, and he will be released from jail this (Wednesday) morning. FLECTION RESULTS. Messrs. McDow, Sanders, Saye and Beamguard are elected to the house of representatives. Thos. W. Boyd and Clem F. Gordon will go in the second primary for supervisor. John W. Quinn has defeated Minor R.

Six weeks ago ground was broken for the new Fort Mill graded school building. It has now reached a stage where the outer walls are complete and the workmen are beginning to put on the roof, after which will follow . the interior work. This will be rushed with all possible speed and will not be dependent upon weather conditions. The building will be completed by the 15th of October, perhaps before that date, and will at once be occupied by the school. The building will not be as attractive in appearance as many more costly buildings, but it will be avast improvement over the old building which is now in use and is expected to meet the needs of the school for several years. The board of trustees are making every dollar put in the building count. || NEW CL i| FORFA= We have just received I Clothing that has nevei Mill, so far as style, fal cerned.

Closing on Saturday at 16.82, the first sale of August Monday morning was at 16.95 and inside of half an hour the shorts were trying to buy at 19 cents a pound or 216 points (10.90 per bale) over Saturday's close and at the highest figure reached since the Civil war. About 1,000 bales were sold on the New York market at 20 cents and probably less than as many more changed hands on the drop from 20 cents to 181-2 cents.
