WINTHROP COLLEGE WINS SUIT FROM ROCK HILL DISTRICT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) for the purchase of a lot of eight acres lying near the college, which had been conveyed to the school district by the Catawba Military academy. The negotiations resulted in an agreement a between the trustees of the school district for the sale of the property to the college for $20,000. The trustees of the school district were sharply divided (there were seven in number) as to the wisdom and expediency of selling the property, four being in favor of it and three oppbsed to it. To prevent the consummation of the agreement this action was brought by the minority of the trustees of the school district, as such in their own right as citizens and taxpayers, with whom Alex Long, as chairman of the board of trustees of the Catawba Military academy, and as citizen and taxpayer, was joined as plaintiff, against the majority of the trustees of the school district, the trustees of the college, the school district as a corporation, the Catawba Military academy as a corporation; Ira B. Dunlap, as secretary of the board of trustees of the Catawba Military institute, to reform the deed of Catawba Military academy to the trustees of the school district, and to enjoin the sale of the property to the college. "Reformation of the* deed was prayed for on the allegation that it should have contained a covenant running with the land that it should never be sold, but should be held by the grantees in perpetual succession for the purpose of conducting a high school thereon. "The cause of action for to. formation was abandoned on circuit and the facts are mentioned here merely to explain the presence of some of the parties to the action. "Injunction against the sale by the school district was prayed for on the allegation that the price agreed upon was grossly inadequate and that the sale of the property under the circumstances alleged was an abuse of the discretion so gross as to amount to a breach of trust; and against the college injunction was prayed for on the allegation that there was no necessity for the acquisition of the property by it, and that it was without power and authority under the statute to make the contract. The alleged want of power was predicated upon the ground that the college was prohibited by statutes from making the contract, and that, having no funds with which to pay for the property at the time of the making of the contract, it was void for want of consideration and mutuality." Setting out the powers conferred on the board of trustees of the college by the act of incorporation, and concluding that the board was competent to make the contract, Judge Hydrick says the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed, which means tnat w intnrop college will have the new school built on the land. Maine Democratic Bent. The rock-ribbed Republican State of Maine is trembling in the political balance. The State election is to held September 12, at which time a governor, four representatives and a State legislature, which is to choose a United Stages senator as successor to Senator Eugene Hale, are to be elected, and at no time in the history of the State since the days of the greenback party has the outlook for Republican success appeared more gloomy. For the first time in thirty years the Democratic party is hopeful I . ?nay, almost confident?of a sweeping victory. The Republicans have again Dlaced the m* name of Governor Bert M. Fernald before the voters for reelection. He was elected two years ago by the smallest majority any Republican had received in thirty years and is opposed by the Hale wing of the party. The Democrats have nominated for governor Col. Frederick W. Plaisted, of Augusta, who is the son of Maine's " last Democratic governor of thirty years ago, the late GenH. M. Plaisted, of Bangor. Ir , ^ every congressional district oi the State the Democrats have named strong tickets, have iX,. perfected a good organizatior and have been campaigning foi BpSflji- three weeks. LIS; * .

QBE THINGS SEEN ON CANADIAN TRIP BY CITIZEN OF THIS SCCTION (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.) but every farm had its little square shed made by sticking four posts in the ground and connectinc them with a rnr?f nt th^ top, under which bundles of grain were stacked, as we stack it upon a wagon?more accessible and considerably more economical than throwing it upon a barn loft to shatter out. Then there were miles of fencing with the palings nailed on slanting. Why? There are no country stores and few small towns. Farmers raise their own supplies and a train or trolley every few I minutes will carry them to a city for other requirements. "Niagara Falls is all it has been often pictured but a much more interesting sight to me was the mad scramble of this immense body of water to get away through a narrow gorge over which a stone could be cast at places, and at these certain points the rate of the current would be forced up stream at a I rapid rate on each side. It was said that the stream was as deep as the cliff on each side, apparently about 150 feet. Others named incredible depths at some points. "It is a pleasant trip across I Lake Ontario and one would i scarcely realize that he was out of Uncle Sam's domain in Toronto except that $15 suits of clothing can be bought for $10 and diamonds and some other things in the same proportion, where the tariff enters as an important factor. The Canadians make fun of our bulky nickels and we retaliated by 'throwing i off' on their big one-cent pieces. I And the cops wear white gloves! "In New York city old , horse cars run on some streets ! and electric trains pass every five minutes at pxnrpss 1- ? r- wr,vv/vft through the subway underneath 'skyscraper' buildings and rivers, and at one point at least 150 feet below the surface of the ground. I At Coney Island Sunday 300,000 people (so the papers stated) disj ported themselves while a preach' er stood just inside the gate and vainly though earnestly disported himself. One after another of thousands would be impelled to pause in his mad and frivolous haste, listen to a few words and then slowly fade away and try ; to silence his interrupted conscience. This place is in nature a big carnival covering in extent a city's area with expensive atj tractions. Ty Cobb, the Southern boy and a handsome one, demonstrated that he is in a class by himself as a ball player. For this he is cordislly hated by some evil minded, yet he is the only one to receive popular applause every move he makes. The Jefi: fries-Johnson fight pictures, of which so much has been written, were on display and showed in the first round the former's inferiority through movement and physical annearance. Thu necrrn was master of the situation throughout and happily cognizant of the fact. Was living expensive up there? Food was reasoni able enough, absolutely free in some places. Water? We didn't choose any." Prof. Thomson's Condition. The report is denied that Prof. J. W. Thomson, of Winthrop College, is in a hospital in New York suffering with that dread new disease pellagra.

W. BUI PINS Vila Ial 1 The Furrs May Be Reconciled. Charlotte Chronicle, Friday. Mrs. J. C. Furr and two children have gone to the home of her husband below Pineville, where they will remain until the habeas corpus proceedings instituted last week are heard before Judge B. F. Long at the September term of criminal court. The proceedings for the possession of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Furr were instituted by Furr, who wants the baby boy. The mother ran away with Jim Lemmons, and being found in Louisville, Ky., was returned to the city with her alleged abductor. There was much violent talk between the husband and wife before the preliminary hearing before Magistrate C. L. Hunter and Furr instituted suit for absolute divorce from his wife. From appearances it is believed that Furr and his wife will become reconciled, if this state of affairs has not already been brought about, and that so far as court proceedings are concerned nothing more will be heard of the couple. Jim Lemmons is being held under bond to stand trial next month, for abducting a married woman. F. C. Furr, the injured and badly put-upon husband, has the noble record of five wives. Three of the five have died, one has been divorced and the last wife is on the ragged edge of being kicked from his comfortable farm home near the South Carolina line. Mr. S. A. Fipps left Monday night on a business trip to New York city, expecting to be gone about ten days. Political Announcements. ELECTION. SEPTEMBER 13. For Congress- 5tk District.
