Peculiar Problem COnfrOnts
District 1877,
DEED TO LAND LOST
Owner of Adjoining Farm De-
MES Title of District,

After being in the possession OF an acr'
Of ground for nineteen years. and. aftel
maintaining a public school on that site
for that long period. the citizens of schoo
district No. 1877. in Delano township
eleven miles northwest of the city. have
the prospect before them of being com
PEELED to either make good their title tc
the property. TO pay $50 for the right tc
the land. or else to find another site fol
the sehoolhouse.
Nineteen years ago, so it is claimed by
the members Of the school board of that
/ district, Mr. Hit, who owned quartei
| section Of land in Delano township, deed
/ ed one acre on a corner of his farm %
/ the school district. The deed was duly
| acknowledged, the land accepted and the
/ schoolhouse built But the board of edu-
cation neglected to record the deed, and it

The other 15s acres have been sold sew

The new owner of the farm claims, so ii
was stated yesterday to a reporter for

board. that when he bought the farm h

one acre which for nineteen years has
been used by the school district for school
purposes. He has also asked $3.50 frOn.
the district for the site, threatening if the

election.
The question at issue is an intricsIt,.
one. If the deed cannot be found the
only way in which the board can estab
lish that the land was decided to it is by
witnesses, who must testify to something
that happened nineteen years ago. George
Sites stated yesterday that he was on
the school board when the land was deed
ed to it and that he remembers the cir
cumstance. He also stated that the treas
urer of the board had paid for the &C.
acknowledgements of the deed
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Sites consulted
]. R. Sites, an attorney. in regard 10 the
matter. and was told that the fact that
the school district had had possession for
nineteen years would give it a title J. r.
Sites said to reporter for the Eagle:
Everybody in the district knew that
the board was in possession of that acr.
OF ground, and Mr.. Toole should have in

chased the farm. The board has been IL

HAS NEW INVENTION
That Promises to RevOiutionize Auto
mobile Building.

At the FAIRIES machine shops on South
Washingto navenue. there is little gas
cline engine that promises 10 revolution
ize the automobile driving gear. And it
all comes about owing TO simple lit
tie connection of the piston rods with
the crank. This gasoline engine has an
indicated power of six horses, but it
weighs but $50 pounds and has two cylin-
ders. one at each side OF the crank and
the piston rods are so connected that
il looks as II there was but one cylinder
and this is the invention that makes the
engine all the moro wonderful
AL other engines that have two cylin-
ders arranged as this one. have two
crank hangers. placed opposite each
other. but this engine has out one. The
pistons are connected with thte crank by
a little I shaped strap. and from the
tests made it has proven successful.
The engine is a high-gear and by the
he management give it greater speed
and also more power. as there is no
opportunity for lost motion which means
4 loss OF power. IN ten seconds the
engine may he made 10 run 1880 revolt
TONS per minute and this speed may be
reduced to 200 revolutions in the same
time.
BY placing the two cylinders end on
ana making the two pistons as If one,
the space Is 1essened by half and also the
weight which means a great deal in
building autos and the amount OF power
saved by the rev engine makes the in
ventioa all the more important.
Mr. FAIRIES mas thoroughly tested the
machine and has made application for 4
patent as ne has been advised by auto
experts to whom the machine has been
submitted that this engine viii be gen

We see 4 statement that III the
State 'dispensaries' OF South Caro-
lima last year, the sales Of liquor
were more than 81, 800, 900. From
this it is argued that the State dispens-
aries prompted drunkenness.
There Is question here Of right and
wrong. II it be wrong for an indi-.
vidual man to retail liquor for use as
a beverage and for probable use in
many cases unto intoxication, how
can it be right for the State to do ito
But upon the question whether the
substitution of the dispensary for the
saloon has promoted drunkenness, we
think the conclusion is in the negative.
1t has abolished the social 'treating";
and it has diminished the amount OF
money spent for intoxicants from the
neighborhood of ten dollars to two
dollars per capita. It's practical result
is to lessen the evil resulting from the
traffic. louisville, (Ky.), Christian

Observer sees that the lesser of the

strongest points in favor of the sys-

mind but the dispensary plan is the
best and most successful way of hand

True as Gospel.

The Brandon News, in discussing
the qualifications of candidates for
Office, seems to have struck the key
note, Judging from the way the fol-
lowing is being reproduced by the
State press:
Nearly every day we hear talk of
probable candidates for the various
county offices, and before the first OF
next year the campaign will be under
good headway. The question of COM
potency land honesty should be the
sole standard of a mans fitness for
these positions and when our people
select their officers on the same
basis that sensible business men
select their employees, the day of the
smiling demagogue will pass away,
and the most competent and capable
man will secure the place. The idea
that a man is to be chosen for office
simply because he is a clever fellow
and needs the place should be relega-
ted to the rear, unless it further ap-
pears that he is the most capable man
to discharge the public's business.
