w. Jones, the former representing
Democratic principles, the latter Re-
publican, met in joint discussion at the
courthouse last Saturday night. They
are both gentlemen of high character,
wellknown attorneys, and their stand
ing drew a large crowd to the court
building, and the closest attention were
paid the speakers throughout. There
was no dirt throwing, clean discussion
OF the issues by honorable men. Mr..
Montgomery spoke first, defending the
principles laid down in the Democratic
National platform, makingTa speech
that delighted all the Democrats, who
loudly cheered him at intervals during
the time he was on the floor. He spoke
little over an hour.
Judge Jones followed and in his
characteristic way told how he could
see nothing but good in the Republican
party and In its platform adopted at
Chicago. The Republicans present
manifested their endorsement of Judge
Jones utterances by frequent cheering.
To sum the whole discussion up in
nutshell, the Democrats were exceed
ingly well pleased with Mr.. Montgom-
ery's effort. and the Republicans were
delighted with the ideas advanced by
Judge Jones.

Presbytery Takes Action.

At the recent meeting of Transyl.
vania Presbytery the trustees of the
Columbia N. & F. High School were
authorized to make standing lease to
a graded School District in Columbia,
of the School building and grounds ex-
GLIDING the two frame buildings and
lots for same upon consideration that
the district will repay presbytery $500;
assume an indebtedness of about four
or five hundred dollars against the in
stitution, and agree to conduct a graded
school in the building.
This proposition, if accepted will en-
able the district to secure a perpetual
lease on this valuable property for
about nine hundred dollars. The sale
of the two school lots and buildings
ought to realize enough to pay for the
college property and put in good re-
pair without any taxation whatever.
If the district should desire the other
buildings, or.either of them, the trus-
tees are authorized to dispose of same
on reasonable terms. The recent amend.
ment to the school law provides that
the town and county can cooperate in
the establishment of high school and,
if the graded school is established, il
would seem wise to make of this schoo
the county high school. The dormitory
could be secured for the benefit Of
county patrons of the school outside Of
the district.

Saturday night was Halloween, but
the boys were not as industrious as they
were one year ago when they tore up
the town. A number of signs were
tackled up at business houses Saturday
night and a few gates removed, was

person who was put to inconvenience
Mr.. Rollin Hurt. His front gate was
so far removed from his premises that
it could not be found up to Sunday
afternoon. The removal of the gate
left his yard open to any stock that
