I. 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

No Water From Public Well.
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."

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.
"A beautiful panoramic view of

bly 100,000, was obtained as the
train circled around it a number
of times in its descent to its
level. No cows were noticeable
in New York State with a capacity
for over 300 quarts per week,

AUBREY CULP DIES FROM BLOW
ON HEAD WITH TIN DINNER PAIL
Aubrey Culp, the 14-year-old
son of W. 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.

Work on New School Building.
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.

HIGHEST PRICE FOR COTTON
SINCE WAR BETWEEN STATES
Sensational as the fluctuations
in the cotton market have been ?
previously during the progress
of the bull campaign which started
last winter, they faded into insignificance
when compared with
the big jump in the price of August
contracts Monday morning.
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.
