BONDS FOR COURT HOUSE
WILL HAVE To Be RESOLD

Anent the county court house
bond sale, the following from
the Yorkville Enquire, is of
interest:
There has been fall down
on the sale of the court house
bonds. We'll, Roth md COMPANY
of Cincinnati, tho purchasers of
the entire issue It what appeared
to be the best Did, have declined
to stand ~ to their contract on
the and that the sale was il
--eai in that the act under which
the same was made prescribes
that they must not be disposed
OF at less than par. That there
is good ground for the contention
is admitted by lawyers; but at
the same time is is held by some
the ground is only technical
At the time of the sale, one of
the bidders told the members of
the board that We'll, Roth and Co.
were only bond brokers, who
speculated on options, and that
they would not take the bonds
unless they could previously place
them with a bona fide buyer at a
fair profit.
The usual manner of getting
around a statutory provision re-
curing that bonds be not sold at
less than par is to have the bid
der offer par, less so much for
for expenses.
The court house commission
will now endeavor to make a new
sale, and as the money market is
easier than when the first at
tempted sale was made, it is
possible that a better bid may be
secured"

Joe Jackson and Ty Cobb have
just settled down to real war
fare for the batting honors of
organized baseball. Right now
Jackson is in the lead, with an
average of .407. with Cobb next
in line with 1889, but there is yet
a long way to go, and there
will be a bit of see-sawing be-
fore it is all over.
Not only is jackson leading at
the batting game, but he holds
first place in most every other
department of the play. In
other words, the Greenville boy
is playing the game of his life,
and every one has got to hustle
to keep all the honors from him.
He is playing the same style
game Cobb has played for three
years past, and that is fast
enough to get you all the honors
you could ask.

Sport for the Soldiers.

Speaking Of the approaching
encampment of the First regi-
ment at Anderson. the Daily
Mail has this to say:
The entertainment committee
of the Chamber of Commerce is
working up sports and other
entertainments to be- given dur
ing the ten days that the soldiers
are here. Spartanburg has a
crack ball club, the Spartan mill
boys, and they may be chal-
lenged to meet Brogon. Screen
vile has a crack club at Brandon,
home of Joe Jackson, and they
may also be challenged to meet
the Orrville club. An amateur
club in the city is being formed
to challenge a team from the
regiment for a series of games
and it is believed that this will be
q fast series, for there are
several crack college men in the
First regiment.

Beard Working for Blease.

A Bennettsville special to the
Columbia Record, says that the
Bull Moose" secretary, w. P.
Beard, spent two or three DAYS
in that city, this week. He was
out automobile riding with Sena-
tor McLaurin. He said that he
was working in the interest of
Governor Blease for United
States senator and that no man
in the State could defeat Blease.
MIR. Beard is urging Senator
McLaurin to make the race for
governor. He says that Nc
Laurin is the strongest man to
put against the several strong
anti -Blease candidates for gov
ernor. He was asked what
about Rembert, and replied that
Rembert could not deliver the
goods" Beard said that Rem
bert was not Blease's candidate,
and that he believed at the
show down" that McLaurin
and Manning would be the only
two candidates in the race, that
all the others would withdraw.
1t is believed over here that
should McLaurin enter the race
that MIR. Rembert will be a
candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor.

new PASSENGER TRAINS
TO Be PUT ON JULY 6

The public generally will be
interested in the announcement
that the Southern Railway will
inaugurate two. new daily passen-
ger trains on that section of it's
line between Charlotte and Rock
Hill, beginning Sunday, July 6.
The Inauguration Of the new
trains is the result of efforts be-
gun several months ago by the
people of Fort Mill, Rock Hill
and Lancaster, at which places
petitions asking for better train
service were circulated and for
warded to the headquarters of
the Southern in Washington.
The State Railroad commission
was appealed to by the people
and it also has been at work for
improved passenger service on
the Charlotte Rock Hill line.
John G.. Richards, Jr., charm
man of the State Railroad COM
mission a few days ago received
from the passenger traffic man.
ager of the Southern a letter
upon the subject, and Mr.. Rich
ards has sent a copy of the let
ter to parties interested in this
city.
In his letter the traffic man.
ager says, Il now have the pleas
ure in advising that, effective
Sunday, July 9Th, our trains
Nos. 113 and la. now running
between Columbia and Rock Hill
via Kingville, will be extended
and operated between Columbia
and Charlotte. via Kingville and
Rock Hill. No. ia on the new
schedule will arrive Rock Hill at
It's present time, lilo a. m. :;
leave Rock Hill at 11:3O a. m.
and arrive Charlotte at 1890 d.
m. No. 113 will leave Charlotte
at II 30 a. M, arrive Rock Hill
at 1925 p. M, leave Rock Hill
at l2:45 p. M, arrive Camden at
3:l5 p. M, and reach Columbia
at 6 p. m., same as now."
The official schedules of the
new trains have not been re-
ceived here, but according to
the above information the train
going north should pass Fort
Mill at about 11:45 a. M, while
going south the train should ar
rlvn here at about 1900 p. m.
The new trains doubtless will
prove a great convenience to
the public.
