ON Dasca Hill had entered an injunc
ton in court restraining the city from
building the coiored school on the cor
ner of Lee and Beauregard Streets.
The case was argued Monday, Septem-
Der eth and Judge A N. Aiken render
ed his decision Thursday, September
18th in favor OF the city. 7 he Judge
in rendering his decision said he would
not grant any further injunction and
that the present one be dissolved 1t
now seems that an appeal will be taken
in event of such aO jut four or hve hum
