FIGHT ON SCHOOL LOCATION. Interesting Controversy in Smoaks School District Over New Building. A heated and bitter fight has been injected into the location of the new $25,000 school building which is being now erected at Smoaks. On one side are the trustees and a number of partons of the school, and on the other are a number of patrons and residents of the school district. The fight was precipitated when it was announced that the trustees had secured a site on the Smoaks-Branchville road from Hon. C. W. Garris. Negotiations had been on for several months for a school site and offers * - * TTT had been made tne trustees Dy w. H. Varn and D. E. Sauls. Mr. Varn offered the trustees two sites, neith* er of which was satisfactory, and at a price in excess of that which the site from Mr. Garris could be secured. It is alleged by the trustees that they had asked Mr. Varn to sell them a site where the former home of the late Wylie Smoak was located, and that he had declined to consider this. They also allege that they then closed with Mr. Garris and that subsequent to their having agreed to purchase the Garris site for $1,200, Mr. Varn had offered them the Wylie Smoak site for nothing. Having closed the deal with Mr. Garris, the trustees could not consider the offer of the gift from Mr. Varn. Mr. Varn then called a meeting of the patrons for last Thursday night and it wras decided to circulate a petition asking the / county board to remove two members of the board of trustees, John v. r*?-xl- <x T A Cm,ln i3. tdlLilLii, UUttlilXiau, Ctuu x. rx. uauio* leaving Dr. H. M. Carter on the "board, and to appoint two new members, L. F. Berry and J. M. Hiers. This petition was signed by 56 of the residents of the district, many of whom are not legally patrons of the school, and presented to the county board of education on Saturday. Finding that there was not much chance to secure the removal of the board as they had done nothing to constitute cause for removal, it was decided to circulate another peititon to ask that the county board of education come to Smoaks and "review" the location of the site, and that S. P. J. Garris, Jr., who is a member of the board be left off in the consideration of the matter, as he had expressed a prejudiced opinion, and a disinterested person be named in his stead. It' is understood that . - ? m * this petition was presented luesuaj to County Superintendent of Education Strickland. It is not known at this time what action the hoard will take. Meanwhile the Grandy Construction company, of Greenville, who was awarded the contract for the building, is going ahead with the work on the Garris site. The trustees are J. B. Smith, chairman, I. A. Sauls and Dr. H. M. Carter. A building committee has been appointed by the trustees consisting of P. M. Berry, I. M. Maxey, D. E. Sauls; S. J. Westbprry and A. E. Varn. The trustees announce that they intend to go ahead with the work unless stopped by law, and that they feel that they have acted wisely in choosing the site, which is ideal for the purpose of a modern school building site. They have six acres of high and dry land, and propose to erect a modern building thereon.?Walterboro Press and Standard. m if m Hints to Young Authors. John Augustus Scribble wearily opened the envelope that brought back from its twentieth century journey his "Ode on a Crushed Caterpillar." There dropped upon the floor this letter from the regretful editor: "Hint 1?Borrow naif a aonar s worth of stamps. "Hint 2?Don't begin to write till you feel you must. Such an attack is heralded by dizziness, listlessness, and pains in the back. "Hint 3?Then write down just enough words to relieve your pent-up emotions. "Hint 4?Erase every second word. "Hint 5?Carefully erase all the remaining words. "Hint 6?Sell the stamps."?Pittsburg Sun. Just received, shipment of American Wire Fence. See me at once if you need fencing. G. 0. SIMMONS.

INJURED BY JERSEY BULL. Laurens Dairyman Seriously Hui't by Animal. Laurens, Sept. 18.?H. Creswell Fleming, owner and manager of a dairying business here, was seriously injured Thursday by a Jersey bull which attacked him in the barnyard. The principal wound made by the infuriated beast is an ugly laceration _ x l? _ r j.1, ^ m tne mign in uie region ui iue groin. Mr. Fleming had a very good, night but is very weak from shock and loss of blood. He is at his home in the suburbs of the city. It is said that Mr. Fleming probably would have fared much worse than he did, but for the assistance of a helper at the dairy who beat the bull off with a pitchfork. ? ig> m* Obregon Fosters Prohibition. Monterey, Mexico, Sept. 11.?National prohibition is to be put into force in Mexico, and women are to be given the right of suffrage.
