Mistrial in Case of Building Associa tion against Young -Larger Questions May Arise?Town of Whit mires. In the case of the Equitable Building and Loan Association, of Augusta, against O. F. Young, a mistrial re sulted in the Conrt of Common Pleas Monday. The question Involved part of the "Brick House" tract. Mr. Young conveyed to tho Association that part of the tract in Laurens. He claims that the house stands in Newberry. The county line is the old road fixed by law a hundred years ago and more from Island Ford, on Saluda, to Odell's Ferry, on Enoroe, but the road has been chanced. The question is whether It was changed at the point where the old brick Calmes house stands. Mr, Y'oung rotains possession of that and the Association is trying to recover It, claiming it in Laurens. Old residents of tho neighborhood testified that it had been regarded as it: Newberry, but there was some testimony tho other way. It wa6 testified that in the fifties Dr. Calmes ran for the senato in New berry, and it was also testified that ho ran for office In Lauren?. He owned the house in thoso days. It stands on the north side of the present road. Judge Caroy ruled that a change of the road would not change tho county line. If It is In Newberry it will be loDg to Mr. Young. In 1807 a commis sion was appointed to establish tho county line botween Newberry and Laurens, so it must have beon ihjdoubt even then. No report of the commis sion Is on record. A new survey of the whole line may be found necessary, and It is said that possibly the lively town of Whit.mires with its cotton mill and bank, may be found to be in LaurenB. Newberry claims it now.

No dam aged wheat used in making this flour. For sale by M. H. Fowler and T. N. Barksdale. ALLIANCE REORGANIZED. Members of LaosTllla arc!

HOW THE BATTLE WAS LOST. Or tho Story of a Town that Went Sulpo Huutiirg. Laurons longed for knowledge so sho tried to get a college. She appointed a committee who ransacked the city. They had a littlo list and for money they'd insist. Down would go your name for your last, lonely dollar and you'd boldly bite off more than you pos sibly could swallow. They had a little song and they sang It loud and long. Greenwood would be beat and victory would bo sweet. Tho college proud would sit and with pride we'd look at It adorning some big hill. Then we'd laugh lit to kill. (This was in our mind. Now let us bo resigned.) We offered several sites; each of numerous do lights. Then wo raised 'cm. As for Greenwood, that dazed 'em. Down went tho committee to Newberry ?well, bent to get tho dewberry. Poor old Aikon, how he sweated! While Na than Dial ogled and petted Methodist preachers till his featuros took on an air of early piety?ho kept such society. Brother William Gray was in the thick of tho fray and came back as gay as though ho had carried the day. Now Johnnie Bolt was quite at home, for though he doesn't like to roam, all the time ho was pretty nigh merry thinking ho had struck a primary. Another there was THE Advertiskr. (But as we grow oldor wo grow wiser.) All Lau rens arrived later?and then came homo somewhat sedator. A train load early Thursday eve from Laurens took Its happy leavo. Full twenty of our heaviest men wore in tho party. But at ten tho laboriug locomotive fails to further pull so many whales. For nine long hours then they wait with ample time to meditate upon the glory of the day when they would suro'y bring away Columbia's college of renown to our own incomparable town. Tho morn has come and Conference meets. Bold Greenwood scorns talk of dofcats. But Laurens makes another dash to Jive and forty thousand cash. Tho battlo ragos thick and fast, tho prize Is in our grip at last.Brave Feath erstono makes a powerful speech: the boys all say "Ain't he a peach?" Alas! The voting has begun. Alas! In sorrow ends the fun. The college stays where it is stuck and Laurens is left in the ruck. Moral?if you really want a college you first hud better gain the knowledge, before tho movo you do approve, that the college is going to movo. GRAY COURT NEWS.

It is well for US sometime to draw ourselves aloft from the busy scenes and undertakings of American iifo and with deep reflections meditate upon the things that were, are and are to b3. Now, while wo sit around the hearth stone, what could bo moro suggestive than to take Thanksgiving for a fow moments for our deliberations. Grati tude Is Indeed tho "milk of human kindness," It is verily the noblest emotion of tho heart. It is tho trtio and manly expression which tho re cjivor fretly gives to the giver. The little band of worshippers on the bleak shores of the new world, offering their thanks and gratitude, will ever bo honored for their true devotional grat itude. How many really appreciate tho In tent of this national holiday? Our President and Governor in their pro clamation would direct our mind* to a few among many reasons why wo as a nation should consecrate this day, but how few ever read this! Outside of this being a holiday, many never ox press any gratitude, though there are but few who could well say, surely the linos have fall JU to mo in pleasant places.
