DISTRICT SUMMER SCHOOL PLANNED. A Conference of County Superintendents Was Held in Greenwood id Which the Matter Was Discussed. A conference of County Superin tendents of Education was held at Greenwood last Wednesday for the pur pose of deciding whether it was desira ble that a District Summer School for teachers should be held in the counties, instead of the usual County Schools. - The counties of Abbeville, Edgeneld, Greenwood, Saluda, Newberry and Laurens are embraced in the proposed district and most of these counties were represented at the conference. In ad dition there were present State Super intendent of Education O. B. Martin, Dr. John O. Willson, president of Lan der College and Prof. E. C. Coker, su perintendent of tho Greenwood City Schools. Superintendent Martin is a strong ad vocate of the district school plan as he believes it is the best possible method of conducting a school for teachers. The central school offers the teachers of the several counties many advan tages not to be found in the small county schools. After a discussion of the proposition the Greenwood Conference adopted a resolution to the effect that a district school was desirable and if the sev eral counties decided to adopt the plan, the first school should be held at Green wood. In the following years it is pro posed to rotate the places for holding the school among the counties included in the district. Dr. Willson offers the use of the lec ture room, dormitories, library and other conveniences of Lander College without charge and agrees to furnish board to the teachers at $14 for the session of four weeks. The matter will be presented to the several County Boards of Education at once, and if the plan is adopted, an other Conference will be held in Green wood, Friday, March 16. At this Con ference it is proposed to organize the county superintendents into a board of trustees of the school and select a suita ble man for the head of the school. Prof. E. C. Coker is the secretary of the conference. READ ALL THIS. You Never Know When This Information May Prove of Infinite Value. M. P. Leopard, employed at the New berry Cotton Mills, Newberry, S. C, says: "I have used Doan's Ointment and cannot say too much in its favor. I had itching hemorrhoids for years and also a breaking out on my legs, and it almost set my crazy. I could not find anything to help it. I have seen the time when I have gotten out of bed and scratched until my legs were one mass of blood and I felt as though I could have taken a knife and scraped the skin off, but it only made it worse. The doctor gave me some salve and bought two or three different ointments and put them on, but nothing did any good. Finally I procured a box of Doan's Ointment. I do not think I had it on ten minutes before I felt relief. A con tinuation of the applications as directed entirely stopped all my misery and no one knows what a relief it has been. I can take off my clothes now and sleep in peace. You can bet your last dollar on one thing: I can recommend Doan's Ointment first, last and all the time."

M. & E. H. Wilkes 6 Co. KLUGH REFUSED TO DISSOLVE TUE ORDER. Mlltiken Interests Permanently Restrained From Holding a Meeting of Stock* holders of Laurens Cotton Mill. In the case of O. B. Simmons et al against N. B. Dial, S. M. Milliken et al., Circuit Judge J. 0. Klugh has re fused to dissolve the temporary in junction restraining the defendants from holding a meeting of stockholders of Laurens Cotton Mills. An order has already been made providing a refer ence as to the motion to dissolve and Judge Klugh orders that his opinion be filed as a part of that order and that the injunction be continued until the heating of the case on its merits. The effect of this is that the defendants, who are the Milliken party in the Lau rens Covton Mill litigation, are pre vented from holding a meeting of stockholders with the end to gain pos session of the mill. Judge Klugh's opinion is especially interesting in that nart referring to the question of jurisdiction as between State and Federal Courts. Judge Klugh declines to yield jurisdiction in the case and holds that the acceptance of juris diction by the Federal Courts does not relieve the State Courts of the affirma tive duty of determining for themselves whether or not they have jurisdiction. THE LITIGATION SKETCHED. To refresh the readers' minds it may be worth while to recapitulate the liti gation. At the suit of W. E. Lucas, who was at the time and still is, presi dent and treasurer of the Laurens Mills, Judge Klugh last May granted an injunction restraining Seth M. Milli ken and his associates, who are named, from voting some twelve hundred shares in the Laurens Mills. Subsequently the Millikens moved to transfer the case to the Federal Court and Judge Etawley granted their motion to dissolve Judge Klugh's injunction. Meanwhile the Millikens did not move in the State Courts to dissolve the injunction, and so far as those Courts arc concerned it is still of full force and effect. The State Court declined to recognize the removal and still retains its jurisdic tion. During the summer of 1905 the Milli kens brought an action before Circuit Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, praying that Mr. Lucas and bis associates in the liti gation be restrained from further in terfering with a meeting of the stock holders which it was asked that the Milliken interests be permitted to call, and further praying that the board of directors displaced at the annual meet ing, May 19, 1905. be restored to the control of the mill, ousting the new or Lucas board, then elected. Judge Pritch ard granted the prayer to enjoin fur ther proceedings in the State Court by Lucas in the pending litigation. He re fused to grant the other relief asked for by the Millikens. It will be noted that his restraining the further pro ceeding in the State Courts did not af fect the proceeding already taken, namely, the orignal injunction granted by Judge Klugh, which has never been attacked in the State Courts. The Milliken interests then called a meeting of stockholders, but a new set of plaintiffs, stockholders, namely, Sim mons, Bell and Madden, obtained a temporary injunction from Judge Klugh, prohibiting the holding of this stock holders' meeting. Thereupon the Mil liken interests moved before Judge R. W. Memminger at Saluda, to dissolve this injunction, but Judge Memminger refused the motion on the ground that he had no jurisdiction, that the motion should be made before Judge Klugh. Then such a motion was made by the Millikens before Judge Klugh to dis solve the injunction granted Simmons, et al., which he now refuses In the or der just filed. The stock of the mill is now quoted by holders at $160.?News and Courier. Starving to Death. Because her stomach was so weak ened by useless drugging that she could not eat, Mrs. Mary H. Walters, of St. Clair St., Columbus, O., was literally starving to death. She writes: "My stomach was so weak from use less drugs that I could not eat, and my nerves so wrecked that I could not sleep; and not before I was given up to die was I induced to try Electric Bit ters; with the wonder ful i ?esults that improvements began at once, anil a complete cure followed."
