KINGSTREE?THE GATEWAY TO OPPORTUNITY. THURSDAY. SEP. 26.1912. A Double Set/Back. The State supreme court lias recently given Governor Blease a <loul?le set-hack.

But Mr Ithame refused to ol**y the Governor's mandate and appealed to the courts with the result that the supreme court, faiif, decider 1 that the Governor acted without authority in removing Mr Hhame from the otlice of Bank Kxaminer. In the case of Magistrate Kerr of Greenwood, whom (Iovernor Blease refused to ommission after the former's apj>ointment had heen reconunemled I?y the Senate, the supreme court decided that Mr Kerr is a lawful magistrate of (ireenwood county, entitled to the honors and emoluments i>ertaining to that office, and that the Governor, in attempting to remove him was without authority of law. The Allen gang wiped out the court at Ifillsville, Virginia, some months ago and 'now the court is about to wipe out the Allen gang.

KINGSTHEEHIGH SCHOOL NOTES. i . ^ The Wee Nee Literary society i held its first regular meeting of the new school term Friday, September 5 20, with Mr Cuyler Harper as presir dent. The meeting was v&ll attendr ed. Twenty-three old members were present, and fifteen new members were taken into our society. While r we miss many of the faces of last year,we hope that our eighth grade friends will rapidly fill their places, 3 and that the society will be uplifted . by their presence, and that they will derive much benefit from the same. ; There being no regular proi gramme arranged for the afternoon, ^ I a part of the constitution was read * and discussed for the benefit of the ? new members. Another part of the afternoon 3 was utilized by Prof Swittenberg, 1 during which he gave us many - words of encouragement and advice " as well as an address of welcome to 3 our eighth grade members. Then the query, "Resolved, That ^ the steam locomotive is of more im" portance to man than the steam1 ship", was placed before the memJ bers for open discussion. After a 1 very interesting discussion the judges - retired and soon returned to an^ nounce that after careful consideraJ tion they had decided in favor of the negative debators. At the business session of our c I meeting we elected the following " I marshal's- Frnm the eighth crade.
