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.

WEATHER RE- ?
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.

X' years in the penitentiary. Glenn has
never served a day in the State penn

He killed Clinton Rhoden. There
were several petitions filed. In on&:
30 of the petitions it was stated that
Rhoden was unarmed when shot by
Glenn. The governor several months

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.
