cowardly scoundrel has been posting

rejecting upon the morality of one cit
izen and the honesty of another. The
party posting these notices is, Of course
a moral degenerate, and what the in
dignant men of Rock Hill will do for
him when caught (and he will be

No Reversion Clause. ,.... ut.
There is q rumor on the streets to
the effect that the deed under which
the lot on which the York county court
house stands contains a clause under
which the said lot will revert to the
heirs Of the party who decided 1t, in case
the property is used for other than
court house purposes. The Enquirer
has been unable to locate the origin Of
the rumor; but from the best informa-
ton obtainable, there is no authority
for 1t. John r. Hart, Esq, Of Yorkville,
made an exhaustive investigation Of
the original titles to this property some
years ago, and found nothing of the
kind. There Is no such deed on record,
according to Mr.. Hart, and he has not
the slightest reason to believe that
there has ever been such a deed in ex-
istence. -r..
Bethesda School Opens.
A number Of friends and patrons
gathered at Bethesda school house Yes
terday morning to witness the opening
exercises of that institution. Short ad-
dresses by Superintendent Of Education
John e. Carroll, Miss Leila Russell Of
Winthrop college, and Rev. John A.
McMurray Of Guthriesville, were the
features Of the opening. All the speak
ers addressed the audience along lines
intended to still further improve the
Bethesda school, Misses Ruby Strother
and Juanita Strickling are In charge
this session. Forty-five pupils were
enrolled yesterday, and the number
will probably be increased during the
next few days. The school building.
two room structure, has been remodel
ed during the summer. and Is now IN
first class condition. The school Is to
run eight months.
Late Flowing for Cotton. .
In the course Of a conversation with
the writer a few days ago, Mr.. Joseph
w, Smih, of the Cotton Belt neighbor-
hood, took occasion to remark the ben
eficial results Of late plowing Of cot
ton, He said that formerly he follow
ed the old plan of laying-by as close to
the first of July as possible but dur
ing several years past he has been ex-
perimenting with final plowings during
the early part Of August. He got the
idea, he says, from reading the farm
journals, and he has had enough ex-
perience to be convinced Of Its benefit.
The idea is to use an eighteen inch
heel scrape with long bull tongue, and
drive furrow between the rows. The
effect Is to keep the cotton growing
longer than 1t would have grown 9TH
erwise, and Mr.. Smith feels reasonably
certain that this year he will get at
least three or four more bales Of cotton
than he would have gotten otherwise.
There Ia no extra cost, he says other
than the labor.
