Encouragement For Students.
Rock Hill special Of June 3, to the
News and Courier: In the account OF
the recent closing of the city schools
a very interesting incident was unin-
tentionally omitted. Capt. w. L. Rod
dey, one Of the city's leading citizens
and the oldest member OF the school
board, on account Of serious sickness
was unable to be present, but was rep
resented by his son, the Hon. w. J,
Roddey, who, In behalf OF Capt. Rod
dey, announced the donation OF one
hundred dollars each year, to be award
ed as follows: The student Of the
ninth grade, the graduating class,
making the highest average In schol-
arship to receive $50, the second high
est $50 and the third $40. This will,
no doubt, prove a great stimulus and
blessing to the young students, and
the gift is highly appreciated by the
trustees and the patrons. Superinten-
dent Cork accepted the donation in be-
half of the trustees.
