Attorney Glenn of Chester
has called for a resumption of
the hearing before him as referee
in the case of the minority men,
bers of the Rock Hill sclool
board, who are holding up the
sale OF the high school property
there to Winthrop. and it is
now hoped that The contest will
reach a conclusion within a ew
months, when the referee makes
report to the circuit court at
Yorkville.
However, this minority, con-
Sisting of Messrs w. b. Wilson,

hard fighters, particularly MIR.
Wilson, who is leading the fight
to prevent Winthrop getting this
property, and it is expected il
they lose they will keep the
business tied up by appeal as
long as possible.
This is the fight which provok-
ed Senator Tillman to write to
Mr.. w. j. Roddey, one of the
Rock Hill members of the Win
throp boord's executive COM
mittee, threatening that unless
prominent Rock Hill people
stopped making malignant and
selfish" war on President John
son and Rock Hill, he would get
his friends in the legislature to-
gether and start movement TO
remove Winthrop college from
Rock Hill and use the plant
there for a colored State Asylum,
which letter Mr.. Roddey would
never make public.
The suit is said to be serious

plans for establishing 100000
