The Miller School Case.
It has been arranged that the county
board of education will meet on next
Monday for the settlement of the con-
tention between the patrons of the Mill
Ter school and the trustees or Scnool
District No. s. So far as the reporter
has been able to learn, there have been

The Lindsay.Jackson Killing.
Mr.. S. A. Glenn, of Glenn & Riddles
store, Bethel, writes that the state
ment published in THE ENQUIRER to
the effect that the Negroes were quar-
reling in the store previous to the kill
ing, is mistake. Jackson was in the
store about an hour before Lindsay
came up; but went to a Negro cabin
about $50 yards away. Lindsay came
to the store but did not come In. The
two men met between the store and
cabin. Four or five shots were fired,
after which Lindsay left by way of the
store; but without entering.

afternoon, through one Of the commit

Glover Mill Stock.
The stock of the Glover cotton mill Is
about as good as gold bars A good IL
lustration of this fact has just been
furnished. In the last issue of THE EN-
oUIRER, Mr.. H. w. Thomson, Of Spar
tanburg, offered 25 shares Of Clover
stock and 40 shares Of Gaffney stock.
In sending a check Wednesday, to pay
had received telegram from prom1-
nent citizen of Yorkville, Tuesday even

and he had reason to believe that he
would at once close deal for the en-
tire amount in hand.
Murder In Fort Mill.
Fort Mill Times, Thursday: The
brick plant on the river was the scene
f,,1 fpoe
which destroyed the solemnity OF a
bright summer day. Henry Anderson
was killed by another Negro named
Sol. Darcy. The two men had just
returned from the woods and are sup
posed to have been gambling. They
began disputing over small sum or
money in the yard in front Of the
boarding house kept by Julius White.
They were. ordered off the place by
White, and as Anderson walked away
Darcy picked up a piece Of timber and
going up behind dealt him a fearful
blow on the head. A physician was
summoned, and externally, the Negro
did not appear to be fatally hurt; but
in the afternoon he grew worse and
died at o'clock. AS soon as the deed
was committed a crowd Of the brick
yard hands surrounded the murderer
and he was detained until Superin-
tendent Mendenhall was summoned
and Darcy was brought to town and
safely lodged. An inquest was held by
Magistrate Mills on Monday morning,
and the verdict was in accordance
with the above facts. Darcy was TAX
en- to Yorkville Tuesday by Constable
r. P. Harris and committed to jail to
await trial.
