The telegram* staled that the

rne p mp moment 01 mo court
here came as a surprise as well as a
disappointment to many as it was
not generally known unt il Monday
morning ttiat .Incite Aldrich was
sick and could notcomo. This postmenl
inconvenienced many who left
their homes in obedience to the
summons of the court to serve t licit
country in one capacity or another,
besides there are a number of prisoners
in jail who, if innocent of the
crime chained against them, will
have to "languish in duress vile"
until sometime in March before they
can be tried by their Uod and their
country. Sympathy was expressed
for Judoe Aldrich in his a ill ction
and it is hoped that he will be restored
to his usual health.

property the town of Conway becamo
tho purchaser of the old court
house with the intention of using
the building as the town hall and
public offices for the town. The
purchase money of the property
amounted to something over $4000.00,
and as the town did not have
the money to put into it, they had
to buy it on credit and they are paying
interest on this amount of money.
This being tho case the town
authorities should see to it that thus
investment should not remain entirely
idle and fail to bring in a return
in a financial way on the amount
invested. With the expenditure
of a few hundreds of dollars tho
old court room c mid turned into
a very nice auditorium and used
an opera house, and for any sort of
public gathering that might take
place.in the town It could be rented
tfjfjnme one f >r this purpose who
would hold it and manage it from
year to year and probably pay a
large rental for the use of it The
opera companies which visit other
towns would visit Conway if the
? 1 ' ~

statu! when the; purchase was much;
by the town that the entire building
would be renovated and repaired
and that the town would rent the
ollices and old court room. We
have seen no move made toward this
end further than to repaid the ollices
down stairs. No alterations or improvements
have been made in the
f ut room It is hoped that the
Us* ^authorities still have this matterTn
mind and will put the build
mg in snapeto bring a return to the
town.

At the eleventh hour, the writer
wishes to call attention to the closing
exercises of the Homewood
school, which took place on Friday
February 5th. The morning was
devoted to an oral instead of the
usual written examination. This
gave an opportunity for testing the
knowledge the pupils had acquired
of the studies pursued by them during
the tei tn of four and a half
months. The class in arithmetic
was pronounced by Mr Brown, the
the county superintendent, especially
commendable.
Mr K (? Sessions, the teacher, doserves
great credit for the thoroughness
in which be has instructed the
pupils and the orderly and efficient
manner which ho has conducted the
school.
After a bountiful dinner prepared
for parents and friends in attendance,

afternoon was spent in recitations
by the pupils, and appropriate music

tcr Hears Counsel In Receivership
Matter at Greenville in liffort to
Remove (lie Receivers Appointed
hy the Court -$ftOO,UOU Involved
Greenville, Feb. 11 ? Judge Jos A.
McCullongh yesterday afternoon
heard the arguments of couusel in
the Kanawha Lumber Corporation
matter, but will not make known
his decision lor some days yet.
The aPlMlITlPlltS VPStonliiV nnm
pic ted all the preliminary steps nec
essary to a linal decision in ths ,
noted case, which began some
months ago in the United States
circuit court by a voluntary agreement
of all parties interested to
place the lumber concern in the
hands of three receivers, and which
has now assumed the shape of a
light on the receivers themselves.
Messrs J 0. Causey, Jr., Jno 11
Howuld and Frank B VVitherboel
were appointed receivers of this
estate, which is located near Conway,
some months ago. They were
agreed upon by the creditors and
stockholders and went into ollice
I with the support of all parties concerned.
At least six months ago a
petition was. presented to Judge
IVitcharu, asking that the receivers
be removed from otlico, the petition
alleging that the estate was deteriorating
in value by roason of the
management of the receivers Messrs
Causey, Uovvakl and Witherbee
resisted the petition, aud as a result
a number of references were hold by
Judge MoCullough, who was app
tinted special master by judge
Rritchard'to investigate and report
bis findings of law aud fact upon the
allegations of the petition.
Vv ilcox & Wilccx of Florence represented
the receivers, and .yesterday
contended that the evidence
had not developed facts sutliciont to
demand the removal of the receivers,
rhey also contended that the receivers
had a right as a matter of
law to continue the management of
the estate, in view of the fact that
no wrongful acts had been traced
to them.
Meares & Ruark of Wilmington,
George Rountree, Esq., of Wilmington
and lion R. B. Scarborough
argued on behalf of the petitioners
and contended that the receivers

wound up.
A number of very intricate and
technical quotations of law havo been
argued before Judge McCullough,
and the decision is awaited with
great interest. It is probable, hov.ev?
r, that Mr McCullough's repori
will not- be made public until it is
presented to Judge Pritchaid, who
will issue a linal uecree upon his report.
It is a foregone conclusion
that there will be an appeal to too
United States supreme court, no
matter which way the matter is decided.
The estate is valuod at about
$500,000.?State.
Magistrate's CourtOn
last Thursday town marsha'
J. M. Fortescue swore out a warrant
before Magistrate N Sweet, charging
W. M. Parker with violation ol
the whiskey law. The basis of the
. charge being the same as that on
j which he was recently tried in the
I town court, and lined in the sum of
$100 00. The defendant promptly
gave his bond lor trial in the eourt
of General Sessions, and stated that
that he would contest the case.
The case of B. T. Hyman vs Mrs
W, W, Crosby and Mr Crosby, concorning,
which something was said
in the papers recently, was tried before
Magistrate N. Sweet last Thursday.
A jury trial was waived, and
the case was tried by the magistrate
himself. Mrs Crosby did not appear
at the trial, and her attorney
submitted certain letteis from her
stating that she eould not attond
on account of the illness of a brother
at Dothan, Alabama. The plain till
was sworn, a? was also Mr Crosby,
who was present. After hearing
the te&timonv 1he magistrate rendered
iris deoi-i >n in favor of the
plaintiff, II. T. Hyman, and rendered
judgment against tire defendant.
