ATTORNEY HALL QUOTES THE LAW what the SUPREME COURT SAYS. I herewith 1 understand a bonded in- property em- u’hool district power of the QRINDALL GOSSIP. Personal A Citizen Wants to Know About the Voting 0 t Bonds, and is Inform ed by Mr. Hall. Attorney W. S. Hall, .Ir., submits following reply in answer to an inauirv of a citizen in regard to is- sndng bonds: lu response b> a request from you fo, an opinion in regard to the vot- inir of bonds for school purposes for school district No. 10 submit the following: The real question, as it, is, whether creating dHttednoss upon tin* braced in the ar ui of > Mo. 10 will affept the town of Gaffney to increase its txmd- ' indebtedness for the purpose r>f (•■stnicting a system of sewerage, or other municipal purposes. To be more dofinit >, let he question be stated °n facts. Is it lawful where a school district embraces also all -erritorv of a municipal corpora tion. for tiie school district to vot- • which will increase the bond 'll debt on the town pmnertv beyond t> eight p-r centum limit: and con- v®rstdv. if the b' ••ded imb re'ities en the property mbraced in both ih# municipal district ami the school tfciT ict. is as much as eight per cent | of the total taxable property in such T*va, may th“ town vote bonds in •uwess of such amount for municipal purposes. 1 think this covers all the points likelv to be involved. So much of Sec '» of \rt. X. of the Oastitution of 1895 as aft ct q»»estion, is Os follows: "The bonded debt of anv county, hrmnship, school district, municipal corporation, or political division or | «ut)division of thm State shall never j disced eight per centum of the as-1 mossed value of all the taxable prop- j ‘'fty therein. "And no county, township, muni cipal corporation or other political ■'Hvision of this State shal] hereafter b© authorized to increase its bonded indebtedness if at t.h« time of the proposed increase thereof the aggre gate amount of its already existing bonded debt amounts to eight per c, it of the value of all taxable prop- as valued for State taxation. A*ii whenever there shal! be several pnKlieal divisions of municipal cor porations covering or extending Ayer *h territory or portions there of possessing a power to levy a tax or contract a debt, then each of such political divisions or municipal cor porations shall so exercise its power i to increase its debt under the fore- I eming ' ight per cent limitation that Vie aggregate debt over and upon vr territory of this State shall n«.V T exceed fifteen per centum of theValue of all taxable property In snch\ territory as valued for taxation by tiV State.” Fw.h this it appears that a muni cipal 1 corpofe-atiions independ^rntty. has a r.Vht to increase its bonded in- dehtednets up to the eight per cent limit; that a school district has the Q ame right. But wheVe the school district cov ers the territory embracing a muni cipal corporation, then this right is restricted as to both. That. is. if the bonded debt of the municipal corpor ation is already eight per cent of the value of all the taxable property therein, then the school district em bracing the municipal corporation cannot increase the bonded debt be- vond fifteen nor cent of the value of at] the taxable property therein. Therefore, the school district would lie limited in the exercise of its pow T - er. and could create a bonded debt to the amount of seven per cent of an the taxable proeprty embraced within its limits. In the ev nt there is a bonded debt created by the county in which both th * school district and the munici pal corporation are situated, the situation is further complicated, for the aggregate bonded debt, .of the county, school district, and the muni cipal corporation shall not exceed fifteen per cent of the value of all the taxable property in the county as valued for taxation bv tin. State. •Suppose the bonded debt of a coun ty is five per cent: that of a munici pal corporation in the county is five percent: and that of a school district within the county and embracing the territory covered by the municipal corporation, is also fiv rt n A ” cent, then it is clear that each of the said poltical divisions has reached the limit fixed by law. and neither can increase its bonded debt, for the ag gregate is already fifteen oer cent of the value of all the taxable pro perty in such territory. This section of the constitution was constructed by the supreme otyurt of this State In the case of Todd vs. city of Laurens. 48 S. C., 895. and is in accord with the views above expressed Tlie Ohief iustlce. however, reserv ed his opinion as to whether the bonded debt of a county can properly be regarded as constituting any part of the bonded debt of the city, inas much as that point was not involved. The language of the constitution is clear, and not only authorizes the construction given herein, but makes It neoeesary. Paragraphs and News Notes. Grindal, March 11.—An egg hunt is booked to come °ff at the Holmes school house Saturday, March 23 at 3 p. m. in which both old and young will take part. The neighboring schools are cordially invited. We note with pleasure the resolu tions of Camp Jefferies l’. 0. V. and hope that the ladles requested to as sist in procuring lists of soldiers will hr, successful in obtainng the names of all in the neighborhood. Me will endeavor to get the names of all the dead and missing in our vicinity. This is a noble work and we believe everyon will respond liberally for the reason that most of us have some relative who fought, bled or died for a cause thev believed ins', and right and it behooves us, their j descendants, to erect, monuments to their memory, for soon, very soon, j ;lv> last of them will have crossed the river and only history and these momentums will be left to their memory. Then let us do all j wo can to show our appreciation of thei” noble sacrifice that the pangs of death may be lightened by a knowledge that they fought not in vain. Miss Annie Hames writes us that Mr. Wm. GomMoeb has sent her a list of those buried at Elbethel, Skull Shoals and the Goudelock raveyards. Mr. Phillips those of Co 'inth and Tate graveyards and that Mr. Webster will • nd those of Ills soct'-m. We mention this so those interested may turn their attention to other and mor private burying- grounds. She farther states that they have been working for five year - and have not asked for outside h In until now and tl^at any contri bution. however small, will he ap preciated. Mr W. McWhirrer is rapidly re building his tenant house that was hurned a short time ago. Miss Mae Hames spent a few days with her friend. Miss McWhiter, of Jonesville last week. We are ,r lfld to report Uncle Jes- si • Mabry, who was found uncon scious on the roadside a week ago, able to attend services Saturday. Mr. Ray Sparks is quite sick. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Jefferies have a new' arrival at t heir house also Mr. and Mrs. Munroe Horn. The most sensible paragraph we have seen lately, appeared in the last issue of The Lodger, and Is as follows: “There’s no harm in giving even bad advice because nobody will take any kind.” Mr. and Mrs. Mason Garner’s in fant is quite unwell. It has some kind of skin trouble. They are speaking of taking it to Dr. Hunter, a cancer doctor of Rock Hill. Dr. Hunter is treating Mrs. W. E. M. Kirby, who has suffered for years with something similar to cancer. Mrs. Leslie Fowler and children spent several 'lays in Jonesville last week, the guest of her brother-in-law, Mr. Whiteford Fowler. Mr. and Mrs. j. R. Kirby, of Jones ville have moved out on a farm near here. Mr. A. S. Mayfield, of Union, has moved on a farm near Mr. It. J. Har ris. Rev. W. E.

Kirbv - left* for Jon^kville today where they will spend a few days visiting friends and relatives. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Crocker spent several days at the home of Mr. J. A. Hames and ' + hers, last week. Wasn’t that an excelletn sermon of Dr. TaLnage’s in the last, issue of The Ledger? What a beautiful and broad mind he bas—a mind, capable of seeing the physical as well as the spiritual well fare of men. We notice several inquiring about “Flaw Picker.” We do not know where he is now, but about seven years ago he lived at West Union. He called at our house once and re- ' nested us to sen ’ our matiuseript to the Union Times for him. 1 re member asking him if he still wrote fo»- The Ledger (I did not take it at that, time) ami he said that he did not. I do not remember his real name as he wag a stranger to me. With best wishes. ’ I remain, Annie Laurie. k NEWSY LETtER FROM WimNSVUE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE.

Between fift- and seventy- five guests were entertained. In the front parlor Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Hames stood to receive their guests, the mantels were hanked with ferns and bowls of yellow jonquils. Yel low and white being the color scheme, quantities of them were used through out the house. In the dinitur room the round table had for its center- piece. a beautful arrangement of jonquills and narcissuc in a long fiat waiter. The handles were tied with big bows of white tulle, like htr'e butterflies perched on th" sides. A salad and ice course was served, the ices and bonbons carrying out the color scheme. Receiving with Mrs. Ross and Mrs. Hames was Mrs. Harry Shaw, of Charlotte. Those wko received in the hall were Mrs. Harry Byars. Mrs. Nathan Littlejohn and Mrs. W. C. Carpenter.
