Courthouse Designed
By Famous Architect
~ "
Lancaster has perhaps the oldest
court house building in the state of
South Carolina with the puksible exception
of Kingstree. The date of
the erection of the local court house
building is not known definitely;
Some say that itwas built In 182fi or
two years after the local county jail
was erected while others ary of the
opinion that the local couAt house
was built before the county j^il as a
wooden jail was first erected in this
couq^y.
It it known'^iowever that the court
house was built In the Arst half of
the nineteenth century and that the
architect was Robert Mills of -Charleston
who later became one of the
country's most famous arclytects. He i
drew the plans for the court houses
at C/amdcn, Kingstree and Lancaster.
I*ancaster and Kingstree still use
their court houses while Cailtden has
a new one. Mills drew the plans for
the erefaion of Monticello, the home
of Thomas Jefferson; also the Bunker
Hill monument and he restored Independence
Hall in Philadelphia. He
was one of the architects who designed
the fumous Washington monument
in Washington and also designed the
patent office, treasury building and
the old post office in Washington.
He was a Charlestonian by birth as
he was born in the old cjty by the sea
in 1781.
With its rounded ceilings, its heavy
plaster and its fire places the local
court house will readily be recognized
as a very ancient building. It has
served this county for about 100
yea fa.
It is said that Judge Mackey, following
the civil war, refused to hold
court in this building, saying that
it was unsafe. Consequently steel
J reinforcements were made by running
| steel bars through "the building with
turnbuckles on the outside. This
strengthened the building and there
has been little danger since of it falling
down as Judge Mackey feared.
When first erected the building was
rather small and the rear part of the
buildlng^^'As'added to it some tint#
before t'he reconstruction period. The
rear part is seen to be different in
architecture from the front part of
the building.
In 1025 the county commissioners
erected the new office building in this
city. This building was erected for
offices only and the old building is
still used for court.
During the 100 .year history- of this
building thousands of cases have
been tried in it. Here men were
sentenced to jail for debt in the past
century and one man was sentenced
to be hanged on a charge of stealing
a slave. If the walls of the old
court house could talk and tell of the
things that have happened within the
old building it would be an interesting
tale.?Lancaster News.
Two men unnamed, are under arrest
at I^ake City, Minn., on suspicion
of connection with the mysterious
deaths last Tuesday night of two
young women- of Rochester, Whose
bodies were found on Wednesday following
their going to ride with two
men, neither of whom were known to
the girls.
A farmer organization of North
Dakota, -which state produces onesixth
of the nation's wheat, has as its
slogan "Hold the grain for one dollar
a l>wshel." The farmers in 400 townships
of the state arc said to have
pledged themselves to hold their
grnin effective August 1st, unless the
dollar line is reached.
Warrants for 13 police officers have
been issued at Mineola, N. Y., in connection
with the death of Hyman
Stark a prisoner. Four warrants
charge murder in the second degree.
The charges grew out of the death of
Stark who was being investigated regarding
an assault on a woman. The
13 police officers are held under bonds

With no appreciable change during
June, South Carolina has a large surplus
