Judge Townsend Rende s His Decis ion in the Matter anc Thus the Question is Ftrever Settled. The following is tb: fall text of Judge Townsend’s cl'cision in the court house and boui question: South Carolina, /Court ofCom- ChbrokeeCounty ^ mon Pleas. Town Council of Gaffney City by Nathan Littlejohn,I n- teudent, and L. Bacer, Robt. M. Wilkins, E. J. Barnette and K. R. Cash, Wardens, plaintiffs, 18. The County of Cherokee, defendant. This is a controversy without ac tion, and is subnitted upon an agreed case, and was heard before me at Yorkville on Jily 7th, 1898, by con sent of the psrtles. It appears by affidavit that the controversy is real and the proceeding are in good faith to determine the rights of the par ties, and the proceedings are regular- The agreal case sets forth fully the facts ar.d questions to be de termined. The Towt Council of Gaffney City, the plaintifs, on Sept., I5th, ISOffi before the formation and establish ment of the new county of Cherokee, with sixty-nine persons as secur ities, executed and delivered their bond in che sum of fifteen thous and dollars to N. W. Hardin, J. D. Jefferies J. T. Moorehead, W. C. S. Wood, J. E. Mosteiler, J. B. Brown, rnd R. P. Scruggs as trustees, with condition that said obligars should “obtain at their own cost and ex pense and convey to the said new county the necessary land, the quan tity and location of which is to be determined by the botird of county commissioners of said new county, upon which to erect a court house and jail at Gaffney City, and to erect a suitable court house and jail at Gaffney City, the size and form of which is to be determined by the board of county commissioners for the said new county, the lands, court house and jail to cost fifteen thous and dollars within twelve years from this date,” and upon failure to per form the condition within the time limited, then they bound themselves, their heirs, executors, administra tors and assigns to pay to said trus tees the sum of fifteen thousand dol lars for the benefit of the proposed new county, for the erection of said court house and jail and securing the land for same. Thereafter by Act of Assembly ap proved Februrary 25th, 1897, the new county of Cherokee was formed and established, XXII Stat. 590, and all the rights and powers of said trustees were transfered to and vested in the board of county commissioners. Negotiations were had between plaintiffs and the board of county commissioners in relation to the per formance of the bond, and on October Gth, 1897, it was agreed that the defendant would accept a conveyance of certain property in the town of Gaffney City, known as the city hall property, together with u lot containing one and twenty-seven one-hundredths acre, in rear of the Baptist church for a jail, in consider ation of the cancellation of the bond provided the titles to said lots should be made perfect, and a resolution to that effect was adapted by the board. The lot containing one and twenty- seven-one-hundredths acre was not then the property of the plaintiffs, but belonged to one A. N. Wood, and after said agreement and resolution and in consideration thereof, the plaintiffs purchased said lot and paid therefor the sum of twelve hundred and fifty dollars. Thereafter the question being rais ed whether a good title could be made to the city hall lot; an Act of the As sembly, approved February 15th, 1898, XXII Statute 900 was passed, enabling plaintiffs to convey same. Pursuant to the contract made with the defendant, the plaintiffs, before the action, executed and ten dered to the defendants a good and sufficient conveyance of the said city hall lot, and also caused to be exe cuted and tendered to defendant a good and sufficient conveyance to the said lot of one and twenty-seven-one- hundredths acre for the jail, the titles to both lots being perfect. But the defendant being advised that there was doubt whether the board of coun ty commissioners had power and au thority to accept the property in discharge of the bond declinedto ac cept same, and have even since fail ed and refused to accept the property as agreed, and discharge and surren der the bond. The city hall property is suitable for court house and jail purposes and is of value equal to the bond given by the plaintiff. The questions to be determined are stated in the agreed case as follows : “The plaintiffs’ suit to compel a spe cific performance by the defendants of their contract, and to force the acceptance by the defendants of the deeds tendered as hereinbefore stated, and the discharge and cancel lation of the said bond. It is admit ted that the plaintiffs are entitled to the relief which they seek if the de fendants have the power to perform the act required of them by the plain tiffs. Upon these facts the judgment of the court is desired upon the ques tions w. ether the x defendants Rave power and authority under the law to comply with the terms of their agree ment made with the plaintiffs and to deliver up and cancel the plaintiffs bond; and whether the plaintiffs shall specifically perform their agreement. * A motion was made at the hearing upon a petition by R. E. Porter, 1). D. Gaston and others, citizens and tax payers, for leave to intervene in the action. The motion was denied at the hearing. It being considered that all the necessary parties were befoie the court. Both questions submitted must be decided in the affirmative. The con dition of the bond is to furnish the land and build thereon a court house and jail, and upon default to pay fif teen thousand dollars, the board of county commissioners having suc ceeded to all the rights and power of the trustees, have the right to accept a court house and jail already built, if suitable for the purpose and of value equal to the bond, instead of requiring the obligators to build a court house and jail. The bond is as well performed in the one case as the other. It may be that the board deemed it wise to accept now a per formance of the bond, rather than wait the chances which might follow the slow revolution of a decade. And in so thriving a town as Gaffney City, who can tell what enhancement of values may occur to vindicate in the future the wisdom of the board. And it was very propper of them to sub mit the matter as they x have done to the judgment of the court. The plaintiffs are entitled to have the agreement specifically performed. The agreement to accept the prop erty in satisfaction of the bond, was made and should be carried out. After the agreement and in pursu ance of it the plaintiffs by purchas ing and paying for the lot of A. X. Wood altered their situation to their disadvantage, and it does not appear that the situation can be restored. It would therefore be inequitable not not carry out agreement. And while it may not effect the case, it should not be forgotten that the bond bus been performed many years before performance could have been en forced in the court. It is adjudged and decreed that the defendant do accept the deeds of conveyance tendered by plaintiffs in satisfaction of the bond set forth in the agreed case, that the said bond is satisfied and discharged; and that the defendant deliver up the same to be cancelled.

Jones, of Henrietta, Loses His Life on the Southern. Tuesday night a young man by the name of O. W. Jones, of Henrietta, N. C., accompanied by a companion, went into the depot of the Southern railway and secured a bill of lading for a valise to Kings Mountain. He and his companion then left. Wed nesday morning about two o’clock two young white men went to the home of a white woman who lives n^ar Cherokee creek trestle and aroused her and told a story about how a young man had been killed at the trestle by a passing train. Ac cording to the story as related by these young men it seems that they were with young Jones and were bumming. They had some liquor and had drank freely. Becoming in toxicated all three had laid down on some lumber by the side of the rail road to sleep. Hearing a train ap proaching they aroused themselves and in his befuddled condition Jones attempted to cross the track in frant of the train. He was struck by the train and killed. These are the facts as near as could be gathered yesterday morning. The whole top of his head was knocked off and the brain scattered on the ground. The right arm and shoulder were mutilated and the left arm broken as wus also the left leg. Young Jones’ parents were notified and his father is expected to arrive this morning and accompany che re mains to Henrietta. Coroner McCraw yesterday sum moned a jury and held an inquest. The verdict was that the deceased came to his death by being struck by a train. The railroad was ex honerated from any blame in the matter. The Gaffney High School.
