LANFORD SCHOOL
CASE DISMISSED.
The Supreme Court Refu-
sed the Mandamlis.
THE POINT AT ISSUE
The Contention Arose Over the Amount
of Certain Bonds Voted for
School Purposes.

The Lanford school case has been dis
posed of by the Supreme Court of South
Carolina, the court refusing to grant
the petition of Mr.. John w. Lanford in
which he prays that the other members
of the school board be required to sign
the bonds for the $500. After the
election on the question of issuing the
bonds two of the trustees thought
$4,000 sufficient amount, Mr.. Lanford
holding to the original amount, $500.
His petition was to have the courts
compel the other two members sign the
$780, which the court refused to do,
holding that the amount was left to the
discretion of the board. Mr.. Lanford
was represented by Cannon and Black
well and f. P. MCGOWAN, while Simp-
son, Cooper and Babb represented the
other members of the board.
The Columbia correspondent to the
Greenville News has the following on
the matter:
"The Supreme Court has dismissed
the petition in the Lanford school dis
rct bond case, which came from Lau-
rens county and refuses the mandamus
prayed for by one member of the board
of school trustees. There were two opin-
ions rendered in the case, the controll-
ing opinion by Chief Justice Pope and
the other by Justice Gary, but both
agree on the conclusion and only JUS
tice Jones dissents, holding that the
'mandamus should issue, as the act
sought to be compelled is purely min
isterial"
can election was held in Lanford
school district, No. 10, on the issuing
of bonds to erect new school house, as
provided by law. The bond issue re-
ceived majority of the votes cast and
the trustees differed as to the amount
of the issue. j. w. Lanford, one of
the trustees, held that the issue should
be $3, 500, but the other trustees, w. H.
Drummond and w. G.. Patterson, would
not consent to this amount and held
that So, 900 was sufficient, the amount
was not stated in the election but it is
left by law to the discretion of the
trustees, and petition was presented
to the Supreme Court by Trustee Lam
ford and certain taxpayers of iaurens
asking for an order compelling the
other trustees to sign the $500 bond
issue, which they refused to do. The
court holds that it is in the discretion
of the board what amount of bonds
shall be issued and refuses the peti-
ton. ;"

CAPT. ALEX A. KING
GOES TO HIS REWARD
Gallant Ex.COnfederate Soldier and an
Excellent Christian Gentleman Called
Hence at an Advanced Age.

Capt. Alexander Adams King died
last Thursday morning, August 9th, at
the home of his daughter, Mrs. F. A.
Franks, near Narnie, few miles west
of Laurens. Captain and Mrs. King
have been residing with Mr.. and Mrs.
Franks for several months, having
moved over from their old home near
Mt. Gallagher where they had lived
almost half century. Though quite
feeble, the immediate cause of his death
was paralysis with which he was
stricken Wednesday morning only "a
hours before the final summons. The
burial service was held Friday morning
from Kings chapel church, located near
his late home, the interment following
in the church cemetery.
He is survived by his wife WHO was
before marriage, Miss Mary Clardv, an
aunt of Judge John M. Clardy and Mr..
j. A. Clardy, of this city, and three
children, Mrs. Fred A. Franks, of
Marine, Mrs. John w. Fowler, of Cold
Point, and B. F. King, of Coronaca.
Capt. King was native of Abbeville
county and was sc years old last Octo-
ber. He volunteered for service in the
Confederate army from that county,
going out with Company A, 3rd South
Carolina battalion of infantry com
manded by Col. James, (who was killed
at South Mountain, Maryland, Sept Id,
1862 Kershaw's Brigade, Longstreets
corps. Upon the death of Capt. Town
send, Lieut.. King succeeded to the COM
mand of Company A. AT the battle of
Gettysburg July 2, 1863, Capt. King was
wounded in the arm which was ampu-
tated two days later, or 45 years ago
4th af July last. AS to his capture and
Imprisonment, one of his comrades tells
of this experience in the annexed letter.
Captain King spent most exemplary
Christian life, living close to nature
out on his farm, and no man in all that
region was more highly esteemed by
friends and neighbors.
A COMRADES TRIBUTE.
ITO the Family and Immediate Friends
of Alex King:
"Allow me to mingle my tears and
sympathy with yours in the death that
sadly bereaves you all. He was my
comrade and friend, true soldier and
a Christian gentleman. We shared
alike the comforts and discomforts of
prison life on Johnson Island in Lake
Erie. He quietly submitted to the pris-
on restrictions which were sometimes
very close, sometimes saying: The
Lord tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb. We did not have much to eat
and not much appetite for what we did
have.
I assisted him in writing his name
the first time after he was wounded
and | have that signature now. He was
promoted on the army roll from lieu
tenant to captain. Was wounded at
Gettysburg and his arm amputed in
field hospital. Was captured and made
prisoner by Gen. Stoneman's cavalry.
II am proud to have the privilege of
saying a kind word in memory of Capt.
A. A. King. j. p. SLOAN.
