Ir ;o UNTIE COURT OR NO COURT, MIX-UP AT SALUDA OVER HOLDING OF SUMMER TERM OF COURT Saluda, June 29.~-Whether ornol there will be a term of Sessions Court at Saluda commencing or Monday next is a question now puzzling local attorneys, court officials, as well as jurors drawn ten days ago. As understood at this end of the line, Solicitor Timmerman let it be known, in answer to an inquiry several days ago, that if the members of the Bar would address a lettei to him consenting for the term to go by it would not be held. Such a letter was sent to him, and the impression became general that there would be no summer term of the Sessions Court. Now the statement appears in the daily preBS that Judge Mimmingei has been assigned to hold the Saluda court. It is not known just what announcement to make in the country paper of this week, whether the Courtis on or off. An effort was made yesterday afternoon to communicate with Solicitor Timmerman, but the information was received that he was off to the mountains for his summer vacation. The supposition here is that Solicitor Timmerman, by oversight, neglected to have the matter brought to the attention of the Chief Justice, and that official, knowing that Judge Klugh was unable to preside, appointed Judge Memminger to hold the Court in his stead. There is absolutely no objection here to Judge Memminger, or to any other appointment the Chief Justice might make. The only thing is that, in view of of the understanding with Solicitoi Timmerman on the part of the members ot iiils Dai. the matter ts Daciiy mixed, and it is not definitely known even yet whether there will be any court or not.

PORT FREE BY p PHONE DAILY. ai Through an arrangement perfect- 11 ; ed between the United States Wea- b ther Bureau and the Southern Bell 11 Telephone Company, more than 25,- n 000 Southern Farmers will receive d the daily weather reports by tele. phone beginning July 1st. P > The daPy weather: reports will be ir i furnished the Telephone Company v by the Weather Bureau, and the re- c. port will be read to the Farmers by s< telephone operator. At a given n nour each, day a general alarm will b oe sounded, calling every fanner to f' the telephone. When they are all " assembled the report will be read. Any farmer who is not able to ansr wer the signal and hear the report has the privilege of calling the ope: ator and securing the information. v Almost every farmer's telephone \ line connected with the Bell System p 5 has six or more subscribers, and by i t reading the report to each line the ^ 5 work can be speedily accomplished. ' 1 This is the first comprehensive fc " and systematic effort to furnish this J information without cost to the farmers of the south. The spread * I of the telephone in the rural districts e " in the past few years has made it possible to reach such a large num.- ] ber of farmers through the Bell syst tern, and the dissemination of weath. er news by telephone is one of the s many practical uses for the telej phone on the farm. t The territory uf the Southern Bell ('ompany covers the states of North 3 and South Carolina, Georgia, Flori- ) da and Alabama, Virginia and the f southern half of West Virginia. , ( J W.B.GLENN PA J ROLED. d J a Columbia, S.

MEETZE OF GOLUMBIA BOTH HAVE TYPHOID. Lexington, June 26.?Mr. and Mrs ^onnie Meetzr t f Columbia are both lesperately ill with typhoid fever at he home of Mrs. Meetze's parents, ear Irmo. Mr. Meetze is a salesian for the Fitzmaurice stoie and ad gone home for a vacation only week ago. Both were stricken on afterwards, and today a traind nurse from Columbia was called d their bedside HE TEXT-BOOK CONTRACT. The Daily Journal of yesterday arried a dispatch from Columbia 1 which the state r ent was made nat the loss in the adoption of text ooks by the State board of educaon for the public schools would alount to nearly a half million dolirs. That if Winthrop college bould be wiped out by fire, the >ss would not be as great as the ontract for new text-books will a lount to. We .suppose that this eavy burden must be borne by the atrons of the schools. The company known as the :hool book trust got the contract ad there were strong intimations that was to the interest of certain pares to let this concern have ir. We opc that this will prove to be a listake, and that the contract was lade on its merit, and that it was le lowest a id best bid received. There should certeinly be strong otest against this constant change i text-books involving such a heav burden upon the parents of the hildren who attend the public chools. These changes seem to be ude solely for the benefit of the oak concerns and without regard o: the best interests of the schools. ?Greenwood Daily Journal. HER BASHFUL BEAU.
