TO a preliminary 'Delore MdSlStIdle
Beckhan1 at Rock Hill, under $500
bond on the charge Of knowingly dis
posing of stolen property. 1t seems
that a valuable horse was stolen from
Mr.. ]. H. Wilson in Columbia about
ten days ago, and in a few days Niyens
bought the horse from a strange white
man. 1t is alleged that Nivens. being
warned by friends that the horse had
been stolen and that officers were
searching for it. took the horse across
the Catawba at night and disposed OF
it. At any rate, when the officers
reached 'Nivens' store, in the upper
part Of the township, he refused to tell
where the horse was or to give any In
formation about it. although 1t Is said
the owner offered to give him back the
cost of the horse. The officers crossed
the river and succeeded in finding the
horse about ten miles from Nivens'
store They secured the horse and, re-
turning to town, had Nivens arrested
on the above charge.
Telephone Exchange For Glover.
By an arrangement recently perfected
with the Piedmont Telephone company,
the town of Glover Is to have tele-
phone exchange and connected with 1t
there will be some seventeen or more
residents Of the Bethel neighborhood.
The plan provides for the erection of
the necessary line from Glover into the
Bethel neighborhood by the Bethel peo-
pie and after that the different sub
scribers will each connect themselves
at their own expense. The telephone
company will, Of course, receive Its
regular monthly rental for keeping up
the line and giving connections. Some
twenty-five or more Clover people have
agreed to become subscribers and the
Bethel subscribers are to secure desir-
ed connections through the exchange at
Glover. The line from Glover Is already
under construction, the information Is,
that 1t Is to be first class in every par
ticular It will run out the Glover and
Bethel road a distance Of eight or nine
miles to the residence OF DR.. Lynn
Campbell, and will be tapped by sub
scribers all along. Quite a number OF
the Bethel people who have heretofore
been connected with Yorkville have
gone into the neighborhood arrange
ment with Glover.
Winthrop Wins Without Trouble.
Winthrop won easily before the house
Of representatives last Wednesday when
the bill to provide for a new dormitory
was brought up. There was little dis
cussion and no roll call, only few
votes being cast against the measures
passage. The bill, introduced by Mr..
Richards, was on the house calendar
as a special order and was called up by
Mr.. Richards. Mr.. Aull moved to strike
out the enacting words and Mr.. Rich
ards took the floor to explain the neces-
sity for the new dormitory and the
terms under which 1t was being asked.
He made q strong argument for the
measure, paying tribute to winthrop
and the women Of the state. Mr.. Aull
said that he did not have a word to
say against Winthrop and her work,
but he thought in view Of the already
large appropriations the legislature
should go slow about this matter. He
also made the point that last year the
general assembly had made an appro-
priation for a practice school at Win
throp which had not yet been begun
and he thought one building should be
completed before the college asks for
another. He said that the University
of South Carolina was asking for new
building, the first the institution had
had in nearly 100 years, except three
cottages for professors residences.
There was no other extended discussion
and the vote was taken without divis-
ion, the bill passing to third reading.
The measure provides for more dormi-
tory and boarding accommodations at
Winthrop, the sum Of $4S,000 is appro-
priated-$24,000 for the year 1908 and
$24,O0 for the year 1909, to be expend-
ed by the board Of trustees, together
with $4,000 already offered by the
Peabody board for the same purpose. q,
