The Kinard bill, allowing county boards -to ap point normal institute tonchors, was up for consideration. Several roll calls had been taken. Mr. Sinkler was standing- behind Mr. Ashley's desk and they were engaged in an animated conversation. It later de veloped that Mr. Ashley had accused some members of running out of the hall to avoid voting on the bill. It seems that he had accused Mr. Sink. ler of pushing some. of them out. This led to their angry colloquy. When the speaker called them to order, Mr. Ashley said: "If Mr. Sink. ter doesn't go a,%ay -from me, I'll throw him out of the hall," or words to that effect. Mr. Sinkler replied in substan - that he would like to soo any man try it, but further remarks were drowned by the speaker's gavel. The incident rested for the time, but on returniAg to his desk, Mr. Sinkler made a personal statement, denying that he bid pushed a member out of the door so as to prevent him from voting. He said, further, that no man could try with impunity to throw him out-. and that if a .man of Mr. Ashi y's physiqub should tackle him, he would bore bullet holes through him. Mr.. Ashley also made a statement, and said that he was at first joking with the "boys," but that if Mr. Silkler thonght lie could carry out his threat he would knock the life out of hi - , or words to that. effect. - Friends poured oil on the troubled waters at this point, and th incident closed there, though the angry collo loqny had areatod intense excitoment. In the senate today Mr. Butler's bill exempting all graded and special abhool dlistricts from the operation of the uniform text book law was killed by a vote of 28 to 4. All graded schools in operation previous to 1895, are exempt, and the bill intended to exempt all formed iineo that time. Quite a disputo was had as to whether Senator Sullivan's connect ing line (railroad) bill1 had passed a third reading The journual showed that it had, hut the disliinct. recollec tion of several senators was tihat it *had not been passed, and that the record was incorrect. The senate by a vote of 18 to 15 refused to recall the bill from the house, t hn as oflicial ly endorsing the correctness o,f the recordl.

[Danville Register ] * During the b,rief st ay of the (look county democratsa ini this city on Sun day several pract ical jokes wvere practiced on a few of the-visitors by members of their own party. One gentleman was charged with steal. ing a dog in Richmond and arrested for the alleged crime, but was later let into the joke, which lie enjoyed * to the fullest. Another was told that a warrant was out for him and so oc . This appears to have been a popular mode of having fun, but it appears to have been, carrh..d just a little too far. S.'veral hours after the traiin on which these Westerners travel d, had left Danville, one of the numnb.r was noticed sitting in the lobby of Hotel Burton, looking pale and weak as though in deep trouble. H.. was ap proaohed by a gentlhem an and aked if he had gotten left. The reply came that he (the st ranger) was un - for the oficors to come to get ' im. He was assured that there was no warrant out for him and that all the talk about arresting him was a jo,ce. When thus informed his counto nance brightened as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoildors. The stranger then asked to be assigned to a room, and when he wus taken from his seat the awful fact dawned upon those about him that there was something radically wrong. The seat occupied by the visitor, who gave his name as Henry Web her, of Chicago, was full of blood and his clothes, even to his overcoat and pants, were saturated with it. Mr. Webbor was removed to a room and a physician sent for. On examination it was found that Mr. Webber, while seated in the lobby of the hotel, bad deliberately taken his pooket knife and stabbed himself in the left side and was waiting for death to come. After being treated by the physi cian Mr. Webber revived somewhat and stated that he had recently lost his wife, a son had iraet with a serious accident, and tant the news that a warrant wias out for him had com pletely unnerved him and was the cause of his rash act. His friends in Chicago were noti fied by wire of the occurrence and have since been advised of his con dition. All yesterday Mr. Webber contin ued to improve and it is likely that he will be able to travel in a short time. Examination showed two deep cuts, each two inches in length with fully ten or twelvo stabs in the left breast, just over the heart. He had, unnoticed, slipped his hand up un der his vest and with his pocket knife made the desperate efforts to end his life. He had blod so freely and so long that he was unable to walk to his room unassisted and it is believed death would have surely followed had his condition re mained unnoticed a ahort while longer. In addition to his other ills, Mr. Webber showed that he had been drinking Rnd this, perhaps, contributed no little to his despond ent 6ondition. terI 8 Abont Aathore. The Bookman.

The ill feeling masy result either in the withdrawal of the invi tat ion or half a dozen members of the senior class of the college. A class u eeting was called today to discuss the niatter.

Points Decided by the Mupreivio Court, In tho Motoolhotipo Caso-rho Cikingo of Location Unlawful. [The Stato, 17th.] Jefferson A. Sligh ot al., respond out vs. Geo. W. Bowers et al , appol. lant,s.--Locating schoolhouse. Pow - ers of trusteos. Statutory provisions. Pleading. Practico. This is an action by the plantiffs as citizens and freeholders of Now berry county, residents and patrons of school district No 19 in said county, for an injunction to restrain the trustees of said district from erecting a certain school building contom plated. For about eight years prior to March 1901, the school house in question was on the site, and was in that mouth destroyed by fire. There after the majority of the trusteos proceeded to erect a new building on a new site. Thereupon this action was brought. to restrain such orection. The defendants first demurred to the complaint on the grounds (1) that the court was without jurisdic tion of the subject-matter of the ac tion, (2) that the plaintiffs have an adequate remedy provided by statute, and (3) that the plaintiffs have not exhausted their remedy under the statute by submitting the matters in controversy to the county board of education and thence by appeal to the state board. The circuit court (Judge Gage) overruled the demurrer, granted and referred the cause to the master to take testimony and report his find ings therein. The defendants ap pealed. So much of the school law as is in volved in the consideration of pres ent appeal is to be found in sections 26, 29, 32, 37 and 39 of the act of 1899 declaring the general school law of this State. The said school law provides that while the board of trustees have the management and control of the school district, they are "subject to the sup ervision and orders of the board of e5u,!ation;" that the county board of education is a "tribunal for deter mining any matter of local contro versy in reference to the construc tion or administration of the school laws, * * * and then they have made a decision thatshall be binding upon the parties to the controversy. The complaint alleges that the first site was located and established by the board of trustees in 1893, which was afterwards confirmed by three successive county boards of etlucation, aind that when pet.itions were presented to two of said board, asking for the change of said site, the granting of the same was refused. As the decision of the county board of education was binding until re versed by that board it was unlawful for the board of trustees to change the site. Tile complaint also alleges thlat tile board of trustees "are now build ing andi erecting, with the public funds set apart for said school dis trict, a school house for said district at another p)lace."- Such building is an unlawful use of the public funds, which the court ini the exercise of its equitable powver will enjoin. The right of resident taxpay ers to invoke the interposition of equity to prevent an illegal disposition of the moneys of the district cannot be questioned. (Qrompton vs. Zabriski, 101 U. S. 009; cases cited by Mr. Chief Justice Melver in Butler vs. Ellerbe, 44 8. (1. 28.) The circuit court had jurisdiction in the premises, and the complaint states facts sufficient to constitut a cause of action. Order b)elow affirmed. Opinion by Mr. Justice Gary. Filed Feb. 12.

Werts, a farmer who lives near Dyson in tis county, was whipped nearly to death last Thurs (day. The facts na well as they can be gathorod from people in that comn munity are about as follows: Honr) Williamson and J. 11. Worts live within a milo of each other and have boon unfriendly for some time. It sooms that sovoral things have occurred to stir up bad blood betwoon the two mn. The impounding of Williamson's pig by Worts and the interfereneo by Wil liamson with hands on Worts' placeo are two things mentioned. But the "horror of horrors" was at hand lavit Thursday when Henry Williamson took hin gun and a buggy trace and made throo nogroos go with him to the road whore Worts was known to ho passing, hauling hard wood to the depot at Dyson for shipment. It was cold and a fire was built to warn by whilo in waiting. Wert.- had a man by the name of Speake with him and when Worts approached with his wagon, Williamson ordered Speako to leave. Spoako hesitated and beggd Williamson to settle the trouble with Worts without violence. But Speako was again ordered away and lie left, but was not out of sight for some minutes, and while in sight he saw Williamson take Worts from his wagon an(d one negro sat on Worts' neck while Williamson lashed the back of poor Wer(R With his trace. This is Spoako's story of what he saw. After a while a mail ridor passed that way and Williamson was still letting blows tremendous fall upon Worts. Worts is reported to have fainted three times while the cruel beating was going on. Finally a man by the namte of Clary, who suporintends the Clark farm and who seems to have more pluck than Speake and the mail ridor, came on the scene. Clary saw Werts had little life loft and he pulled William son from his unfortunate victim and the whipping censod. Dr. Wi.son, of Ninety-Six, is wait ing on Werts, and from imformation that comes to this city from several sources Worts may dio. His body is described by those who have been to see him as a mass ot black and bruised flesh from the back of his neck down to his legs. It is said the physician's opinion is that there is internal injury of a berious nature. Williamson and two negroes, An thony Reidor and Charles Snow, were arrested and appeared before Magistrate Rogers at Ninety-Six, Monday. The prisoners waived a preliminary and were bound over. Williamson gave bond of $1,000 for his appearance at the March court and the negroes were brought here and put in jail. John W. William son, father of H anry Williamson, andl WV. N. Burkhalter are the bondsmen for Williamson. KOESiTEIt'8 NOMIN ATiON. Presoient standal by hn aind Hie WHil be Washington, Feb. 17.-Collootor George R1 Koestor was here todlay and had a brief interview with the presi dent. Koester's nommnation is still held up in the senate committee on finance, alt.hoaigh the sub committee to which it was referred reported it favorably to the wvhole committee. The president has no intention of withdrawing Mr. Koester's nomina tion, and his friends in the senate are confident of his ultimate confirma tion. It is undcrstood that some of the Re.publican leaders in South (Jaro lina, who are fighting Koostor's nominationi, are promising to give the South Carolina delegation to the next Republican national convention to any man who will defeat Koester's conlirmation. Senator Teller, who now acts with the Republicans, is one of the members of the finace committee who is opposing Koester's confirmation.-N'ws and Courier. Whine Man Turnued Yellow.

[A. 11. Prestnyteriai, 19th. I Mr. Calhoun F. Boyd died of ap. poplexy, at his home in Nowborry, .. (., Fob. f, 102, :I the 6st year of his age. Mr. Boyd was firsti marriod to Mis* E4"liza Wvilsonl, aid two children of that marriago aro still living, Irs. Mary Parr, and Mr. Hugh K. oyd. 11H second wife, Mrs. -Iia 1. Hol 1, nee Duncan, 1urvivos him with ono 8011, Calhoill D. Boyd. Mr. Boyd served tho couity a1s treasurer ten yotars, or fivo teris of two years. A fter his seond term he had given such IIIIIIsual satisfac tion that no other cit-iz,in vent-ured to opposo him a1s i candidate for that reliable position. He wits adjtitatit of the James D. Naice Camp of Hur vivori from the time of its orgatiza tion. He had boon secretary of thet county Interdenomiunationtil S. S. As sociation for at great iny years, and one of its mot, eiieiit embors. About thirty yars ago he wis living on c. farm a few miles from town, and was a m1m0111bor of a Luthorani church, and his wife a member of Cannon Creek. They compromised on Thompson Stroot. In a short time he anid Mr. J. N. Martin were eloeted ruling olders. That was at red letter day in the history of the congregation, which had been deci mnated by the civil war. That samo event was of the greatest benefit, to the ) oung and inoxperienced pastor. Mr. Boyd soon becamie loyal to all the tenets of the (enominatiol, and enlisted in ill of its miterprisos and institutions. lie removed to the neighborhood of Cannon Creek and served that church as aim older and superintenlent, of the Sabbath school. Working on the farm irritated at wound received on one of the battle fields of Virginia on which ho was left for (lead. For that reason, and in order that his children might at tend the academy, he removed to Prosperity. He ioon became a valn ablO citizen of the town IAd an fi cient oflicor of the church an( Sub bath school. After his election to the office of treasurer it was niocessary to resido at the county seat. Iere he resumed his offico in our church, and in a short timo took a placo in the front rank, not only in our own field, but inll i the Christian activi ties of the town. 110 had )1ow b) come one of the best known an( on of the most universally estooede citi zens of the county. In conisidorinig his character, and1 reviewing his life after its close, it is interesting andl important to find the secret of the universal esteem in wvhich this humble man11 was held b)y all classes of his aIssociaItes, the high aind the low, the rich and the poor. lie was naturally an affable man,1i and1( a genlial comlpanIion, easily in gratiatinlg himself with ot hers. ''he use of these and other valuable giftIs Was not sufficient though to secure anid retain such affectionate regard and unlwavering conifidenice as t hat given him, anid that for so many1i years. From long and1( close comn panliionshiip with him, and full obser vation of his conduct and1( habits, the writer is fully persuaded that it all came from the fac't that lie walked with (G0(. No (lay waIs allowed to pass without a season of communion with (God ini his Word, and in the closet, aInd at the family altar. lie still adhered to the order p)rescribed1 in our book for the filmily to join in singing as well as5 prayers and1( Scrip ture reading. Au the mid, --sk prayer meetimg he was regularly in attend ance, and in the absence of t.he pas1 tor conducted the service with edifi cation to all who were present. The Lord's day was a delight, and1( he loved t.he Lord's house. She ordi niance of giving was a1 source of 518 much p)leasuIre as any of tie othlers. Hoe gave generously to both of our orphanages, to both missionary funds, to all the other e[ntorprises. The deacons knew that iln case of deficit his response to their appeal would be both cordial and liberal.
