HoIIyhocks Bloom Early.
Mr.. j. r. Mcknight, who lives on
the Hudson old place, nine miles west
Of YorkVille, brought to this office last
Saturday some white and red holly
hook blooms, with the explanation that
they are unusually early. He says that
the hOllyhOck does not ordinarily bloom
until the latter part Of July, and this
is the first time he has ever seen the
blooms so early in June. The Enqui-
rer has not taken the pains to find out
about the habits of the hollyhock; but
merely gives this statement to go
along with the facts Of the alleged pre-
mature development Of cookies and
jimsOn weeds.
Both Legs Broken.
Mr.. Lowry B. McGill, a we'll known
and highly esteemed young man Of the
Bethany neighborhood, had the mis-
fortune last Saturday morning to have
both legs broken as the result OF
runaway accident. He and young
Mr.. Whitesides had started to Kings
Mountain in a buggy. The mule he
was driving SHE'D at calf tied on the
side of the road, ran, struck the buggy
against a pine sapling and threw both
out with the result stated. Young Mr..
WhiteSides was not seriously hurt. 1t
was several hours before Mr.. Mctilll
could get medical attention and he has
been suffering terribly. His many
friends are hoping for the best; but
they recognize that he will have long
and painful wait of IL before the bro
ken bones are again knitted together.
The injured young man is a son OF
Mr. l.. r. McGill.
Winthrop Investigation Case.
Columbia special to The Charlotte
Observer: The injunction case against
the majority of the members OF the
board of trustees OF Rock Hill district
to upset the action Of the majority OF
the board In selling the Rock Hill
school property to Winthrop college
for $4,000 to be used as a model
school by Winthrop, and which has
been the subject of such an acrimo-
NOUS controversy among the cltiZens
of Rock Hill, will be heard in the
Yorkville circuit court about the mid
die of next month, but 1T Is practical-
ly certain that an appeal will be TAX
en- to the supreme court, whatever
the decision. The majority members
of the district board and the winthrop
board will be represented at the
trial by Attorney General Lyon, who
will be assisted by several attorneys
from Rock Hill. Those opposing the
transfer to Winthrop say that If the
college ever gets the property 1t Will
be at a very dear price, but the attor-
neys for Winthrop and the majority
members of the local school board
say they are sure to win out, that a
suit was necessary anyway to clear
the title and make legal the transfer,
and that they have welcomed the in
junction proceedings brought by the
other side. The scorching letter
which Senator Tillman wrote to Mr..
w. ]. Roddey, of the Winthrop board,
vigorously scoring the clique in Rock
Hill which has for some time been
seeking to block President Johnson,
of the college, at every turn and
threatening to get his friends together
if this does not cease and remove the
college and turn the plant" at Rock
Hill into an asylum for negroes, has
not yet been given out for publica-
ton. and probably never will be pub
lished, although there are many peo-
pie over the state who have been hop
ing to read it with absorbing interest.
State Superintendent Of Education
Martin, who has read it, says it is the
most powerful letter Senator Tillman
ever wrote.
