The County Commissioners.
The county board of commissioners
held its regular monthly meeting In
Yorkville last Wednesday, and spent
the day principally auditing and pay
ing accounts.
Calendar One.
There are sixty-two cases on Calen-
dar /, Of the court Of common pleas;
but there has been no meeting OF the
bar yet to determine which will and
which will not be taken up. 1t Is prob
able that a special roster will be made
when Judge Klugh sounds the calen-
dar on April IA.
Third Week Jury.
AS to whether there will be drawn
venire Of petit jurors for the third
week Of the approaching term Of the
circuit court will depend upon the
pleasure Of Judge Klugh. There is
some doubt as to whether there will
be work for the third week and Judge
Klugh will settle the question next
week as to whether the jury will be
drawn.
Shot His Brother.
Andrew Meeks, a negro. was COM
mitted to Jail last Wednesday on the
charge of assault and battery with in
tent to kill, the charge growing out Of
an assault on his brother, near Sut-
tons Springs during the morning.
Andrew used shot gun, and the un-
derstanding is that the wounded man
Is in a dangerous condition; but his
wounds will not necessarily prove fa-
tai.
Rev. J. s. Grier Critically III.
A telephone message from Sharon
brings information that Rev. J. s.
Grier, pastor of the Associate Reform
ed church of that place. fell in his
yard this morning, broke his arm and
is in a critical condition, there being
but little hope for his life. Mr. Grier
had been Ill for about two weeks, 5uf-
fering with acute Indigestion, and his
fall seems to have been the result Of
weakness greater than he was able to
realized.
A Fish Story Proper.
Charlotte Observer: Mr.. Harry Wy
lie Of Rock Hill, was in the city yes
terday. Mr.. Wylie is connected with
the Southern Power company and told
some interesting stories Of the progress
of the work on the Catawba river. He
was asked II any shad were secured
from the Catawba. He said he did
not know much about the fish in the
Catawba river, but that he had an OK
perience out west once that was worth
telling. The Columbia river abounds
in salmon in the season and they come
up the river in great schools. At one
point, said Mr.. Wylie, the river gorges
and the narrowness crowd the fish
together as they go up. On one occa-
sion the multitude Of travelling salmon
was so great and so gorged together
as they went up the river, that he had
no difficulty whatever walking across
the river on the backs Of the fish.
Rock Hill High School Litigation.
Rock Hill Record: The hearing OF
the now celebrated High school con-
troversy was resumed here yesterday
in the Commercial club before Referee
]. L. Glenn Of Chester. The following
attorneys were present: For the de-
fendants-C. E. Spencer Of Yorkville;
]. E Mcdonald of Winnsboro; w. M.
Dunlap and C. w. F. Spencer Of this
city. For the plaintiffs-Stanyarne
Wilson of Spartanburg; w. B. Wilson,
Sr., and w. B. Wilson, Jr., Of this
city. This is the final hearing for the
taking of testimony. The only witt
nesses examined yesterday were w.
B. Wilson, Sr., W. B. Wilson, Jr, Pres
ident D. B. Johnson and Capt. A. E.
Smith. The taking of this testimony
did not occupy much time yesterday,
and after dinner arguments were be-
gun, which were continued through
this morning, at the close Of which the
meeting was adjourned sine die. Re-
feree Glenn will now make up his re-
port of the proceedings, probably in
the nature Of an opinion, which with
the large mass Of testimony taken at
this hearing and the previous sitting,
will be returned to the July term Of
the York county court for decision.
It is doubtless a fact that no matter
what the verdict will be in that court
the case will be appealed to the su-
preme court of South Carolina, but 1t
cannot be appealed to any higher
court will be final in the matter. In
the meantime the Rock HILL school
district Is losing 500 a month in in
terest and the finances of the district
are in a mess.
No Smallpox In Rock Hill.
Rock Hill Record: The Record man
had an interview with the board Of
health in regard to the rumors afloat
that there were some suspected cases
Of smallpox in the city and were in
formed by them that they were doing
everything in their power along that
line, that a most careful watch was
being kept over parties coming into
the city from the infected. district at
Yorkvllle-not any quarantine against
Yorkville at all, but against the in
fected district at the York cotton mills
and that all parties who have houses
to rent and all the mill authorities Of
the city are cooperating with them
and advising them Of any new comers
to the city, so that they can make a
thorough investigation of the same
and find out If they have In any way
been exposed to anyone from the in
fected district. 1t seems that reports
have gone out that there are some
cases in Rock Hill. This is absolute
ly false. There are no cases here, not
even a suspect, and have not been any.
