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.

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

York suffering with that dread
new disease pellagra. He is in a

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.
