WINTHROP COLLEGE WINS SUIT
AGAINST ROCK HILL DISTRICT

The State has won out in the
now famous Rock Hill school
case, the effect of the decision
being to permit Winthrop college
to erect a modern practice school
on the Rock Hill high school
property that has been in dispute
for the last two years.
The case grew out of the act
of a majority of the trustees of
the Rock Hill school district SELL
ing to the trustees of Winthrop
college the old high school prop
erty which formerly belonged to
Davidson college. Trustees Long,
Wilson. Cherry and Jones got
out an injunction to try to stop
the sale and the matter was
passed on by j. Lyles Glenn, of
Chester, in referees court, and
then before two circuit judges,
Judge Memminger, of Charles
ton, and Judge Ernest Moore, of
Lancaster, ali of whom decided
in favor of Winthrop. Not salts
fled with that the minority car
ried it to the supreme court,
which also decided in Winthrop's
favor.
AS the case is one very much
involved, the facts as given by
Associate Justice Hydrick in rem
dering his opinion will be the
best from which to draw con-
clusions as to the various matters
that were at issue:
The trustees of Winthrop
Normal and Industrial college
desiring to build and equip a
model practice school building in
connection with the college, ap-
piled to the Legislature for an
appropriation of $780, 900, stating
that such a building, properly
equipped, would cost $45, 600, but
that they could raise $25, 900 Of
the amount needed. By an act,
approved February 13, 1907, the
sum asked for was appropriated,
on condition that the trustees
raise $25, 900 additional for that
purpose. The additional sum was
raised and deposited in a bank,
whereupon, by the terms of the
act, the appropriation became
available.
Under the terms of the act
the sum of $45, 600 was to be ex-
pended in erecting and equipping
the building; therefore, no part
of it could be used in purchasing
a site. 1t appears, however, that
a friend of the college offered to
give $25, ZOO for this school on
condition that the trustees raise
100000 more, making in all
$100. 900.
1T does not appear that any
other condition was attached to
this offer, such as that the money
was to be used only in erecting
and equipping the building, as
was the condition with the ap-
preparation. The trustees of the
college reported this offer to the
legislature in 1903, and stated
that they expected to raise the
additional sum of 100000. 1t
appeared, however, at the time
of the trial before the referee
that they had not succeeded in
doing so.
'As there was no suitable
place on the college property for
the location of the practice school,
negotiations were commenced
with the Rock Hill school district

WHERE HE SAW RESEMBLANCE
Apt Remark Of Small Boy Embar-
raised Topper and Filled Car
With Merriment.

Jimmie, who is very small boy
living in the East end, accompanied
bis mother downtown several days
ago. Nearly everything he saw was
quite new to him, so he was not spar
ing in his comments and opinions and
questions.
Seated opposite Jimmie and his
mother on the car homebound was an
individual who, judging by the "blos-
som" on his nose, had partaken freely
of joy water. None of Jimmie's neigh
bors possessed an appendange that
could compare with the one across the
aisle.
In silence Jimmie took in the stu
alton and the blossom" His thoughts
must have grown so curious that they
could not be withheld any longer and
he finally blurted out in loud voice;
Mamma, is that Santa Claus"
pointing to the man with the red nose.
Embarrassed, Jimmies mother tried
to silence her son, but it was no use.
In an audible whisper the connection
between the man and Santa Claus was
disclosed much to the discontinue of
the man.
"Why, mamma, didn't it say in that
story about Santa Claus that Santa
had a nose like a cherry" he asked,
and the car was in an uproar-Pitts-

Fritz the gardener was a stolid Ger
man who was rarely moved to ex-

provocative occasions only caused him
to remark mildly on his ill-luck. Not
long ago he came back from the city

roomy car.
Finally the train reached Bloom.

San Diego, Cal.-After killing three

cal fire department, ended a man hunt
that began at 1 o'clock this morning
by shooting himself through the head.
Durham, who had been hunted re-

Mrs. Durham and her child were
beaten to death while they lay asleep
in their room in a downtown lodging
house, the murderer usin ga steel bar.
The firemen were shot down as they
responded to false alarm turned in
by the murderer shortly after mid
night.
Durham's motive in killing the fire
men was revenge for his discharge
from company No. after repeated
quarrels with his captain. That was
some months ago. Why he killed his
wife and child is unknown, although
Mrs. Durham had feared for her life
for some time.

Judges Wigs.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them stern judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The Gus
tom was originated by French
Judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don a marquis
wig one day, he found it gave him
such a stern and dignified appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and wear it at all times in court.
This he did, and the result was so
satisfactory from legal point of
view, that not only judges, but bar
risters, also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.

Crippen was taken today before the

as he and his companion, under the
