CHAPTER VIII.

SAAA4 4 kIAs A4As
When I again passed the depot at
Sidington on my way home, there was
lady on horseback talking to the
agent.
1t needed no second glance to tell me
1t was Florence Morley. Her face was
turned toward the fellow, and 30 she
did not see me. ! drove along slowly,
keeping my eyes upon her, and debat-
ing in my mind whether should stop
and address her or not.
1t was a strong temptation. and only
fear held me back, a cowardly fear too.
1 doubted how my overtures might be
received. had chosen my course OF
my own accord and would follow it.
II it was contrary to her wish she
would find way to tell me.
After passing the station I allowed
my horse to continue at q walk. SO that
Florence must catch up with me If she
intended to ride to her home from Sid
ington.
The resolve TO stick TO my promise
was growing weaker since Sarah's COM
ment upon it. A word from Florence, I
knew. would cause me to break it, and
1 really was impatient for that word.
Soon the sound of approaching hoofs
beating the hard road reached me.
Nearer it came and nearer. until finally
I caught q glimpse, out of the corner
of my eye. Of q swaying petticoat.
She pulled in her horse to q walk,
and then turned my head and glanced
at her. My heart was in my throat
when looked. but the smile that greet

fore the morning sun.
But the smile was not all that told
me of her emotion at again meeting me.
The deep brown eyes were suffused
with tears. With my own heart leaping
for joy, I refined my horse to a stand
still. In an instant was at her side.
She extended her hand, and with my
assistance sprang lightly to the ground.

and. with the disengaged hand, helped
her climb into the buggy.

II was she who began.
"Are you not pleaaed to see n'e once
more. Mr.. Conway? Recause II you are
not. certainly will not tell you how
happy I am in again meeting an old
friend"

as she had been throughout, notwith-
standing my doubt and fear.

"And who is to blame for that, won

The old fellow saw the blush which
spread over my face, however, and he
smiled as he replied: II do not court
your confidence, but 1t is plain there is
some power behind Mr.. Morley which
led that gentleman to defend you. Now,
believe me, Mr.. Conway. do not ask
for curiosity; there is a grave purpose

"You have stuck to your promise,

"Why, certainly" I answered, with
some indignation at the implied doubt
of me.
"Now about the investigation you de-
sire to engage in," Sonntsg said,
changing the subject rather abruptly.
what do you propose to do? How go
about it?"
"Oh, hire some smart detective" I
replied. II suppose that will be the
only way. What else can do?"
do you think the bank officials have
done nothing? Do you think you could
find any shrewder detectives than have
undoubtedly been working on the case?
II the bank with all it's tremendous re-
sources has not succeeded in running
the robbers down, how can you expect
TO succeed when your limited means
would make your search merely
superficial one?"

Resolutions of Thanks.
To the Editor of the Dispatch.

The closing days of Lexington's
Summer School are upon US, and for
four weeks our minds have grappled
with problems intricate and bene-
fetal. We feel that whstever Of
good has been accomplished by US
we owe in great measure to our
teachers, Prof. Derrick and Miss
Vireiria Brodie. whose encourage
mept and ever ready assistance have
always been ours. It is our wish
that worthy thanks be extended them,
therefore, be it
Resolved, 1st. That We feelingly
extend to each our appreciation for
their unfailing and efficient work in
our behalf, who are the character
builders for the church, county and
State.
2od. That We hope to have many
more similar occasions of pleasant
associations and noble instructions.
3rd. That we wish these esteemed
teachers much success on life's voy-
age and many happy returns for their
patient efforts.
4th. Also that we are mindful of
ard thankful for the open hospitality
(very characteristic of Lexington's
people) which has been shown US
during our stay among them.
5'b. That a copy of these resolu-
tions be rendered each of our teach
ers, and that copy be sent to the
Lexington Dispatch for publication.

And Thus Saved the Poor Widows and
Orphans Of His County and State
Many Dollars.
To the Editor of the Dispatch.
At the Last session of the legisla-
ture the following was introduced by
Senator Brantley, now candidate for
Congressman and was enacted into
law:
Gan Act fixing cost and expenses
for the settlement of estates OF less
than one hundred dollars.
Section l. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
South Caroline: That all the items
Of costs and expenses allowed by law
in tie administration and settlement
tf estates where the amount Of such
estate is less than one hundred dol
lars, shall be one-half the amount as
now provided bv law.
Section 2 That all Acts and
parts of Acts inconsistent with this
Act are berebv repealed" (See Acts
of 1901, page 62O)
When has any member OF our
legislature, in recent years at least.
rendered more valuable service to the
poor widows and orphans OF bis
county and State than did Senator
Brantley in securing the passage OF
this Act?
1t is a fact, we'll known to every
body, that in the settlement OF small
estate, the expenses generally eat up
said estates By the petriotic efforts
of Senator Brantley, half the expen-
ses are now given to those poor un-
fortunate ones who are left without
the head of the family to look to Tor
protection and support, and who, in
their ahject poverty are often thrown
upon the cold charities CT a merciless
world.
Ye fathers of Lexington county,
especially you of limited means, who
have to toll through winters chilling
breeze and summers scorching sun
to keep the wolf from the door, and
then have but little to leave for the
support of your dear ones after you
are gone for the sake Ct your wives
and children, go slow and think we'll
before YOU plunge the political dagger
into the heart of your own true and
tried friend.
Col. Brantley has rendered other
valuable service to the whole people
of his State in protecting them
against the encroscbments of their
personal and civil rights, by soulless
corporations in their growing rover
and maddenipg forts to run rough
shod over the rights of our private
citizens. He introduced and secured
the passage, at the last session OF
the legislature, CT bill amending a
part of the Lord Campbell Act, "by
including exemplary damages in
cases o. accidents resulting from
recklessness, willfulness or malice,"
the par iculars of which I have not

purchase that there was DO fund ap

Chase they attempt to avoid their
dilemma by expressing, in the war
rant that the same is to be paid out
of fund to be accumulated or raised
in the future, and, therefore. mske
the same payable on the first day Of
January, 1900, a year later. II then
there was no fond on hand with
which to pay this Indebtedness the
conclusion is irresistible that such
contract was void under said proviso.
as being in excess of the funds ap-
portioned to said school district, and,
therefore unauthorized and made
void by the statute. The petitioner
in this case must have known from
the very terms OF. the warrant that
his contract was one prohibited by
.aw. He cannot, therefore, plead
that he was the purchaser CT a ne.
cotiable Indebtedness without notice ;
the warrant that he purchased ap-
prised him of the fact that it was
issued without authority OF law. Be
sides the instrument itselfis not such
a negotiable paper as would protect
the purchaser. He took it subject
to all equities and legal defences that
could be pleaded between the origin
al parties. ,
''My conclusion is that the board
of trustees made contract for the
purchase of charts for the use Of their
several schools at time when there
was no fund available for such pur-
chase, and the mere fact that said
claims were made payable at later
or future time out of funds not then
apportioaed to their said schools was
simply an effort to avoid the fore
going provision of law, and that said
contract of purchase is null and void.
'It is, therefore, ordered that the
writ of mandamus be tfused,
