Judge Ernest moore has handed down
his decision in the case Of j. BOYD
Creighton, OF this city, who is and mas
been for several years, most useful
member of the board of trustees OF the
Rock Hill school district. and of the

Mat Mr. Creighton cannot hold Doth
offices and that in accepting election
II the city council he Abandoned the
office of school trustee. This action
was brought by the State of South
Carolina upon information of John l.
Roddey.
There has been considerable interest
and much speculation upon the prob
able outcome of this case. Whether
Mr. Creighton will appeal to higher

/ however, that should he accept TINS
Judgement or should an appeal fail,
Inc ousting of Mr. Creighton deprives
Rock Hill of MIR Creighton deyblM.

Mr.. Stevenson Will Get N the Ring
Again.

From the Evening Herald Rock Hid
August 26. 1914.
THE race in the fifth district be-
tween Congressman Finley and W. f.
Stevenson was much closer than
many expected, though Mr.. Finley
won by a majority of around 1000.
All the boxes had not been heard
from this morning, but it is conceded
that Mr.. Finley will have a good
lead over Mr.. Stevenson.
Discussing the matter with a Herald
man Wednesday morning. Mr.. Ste
venson stated that as ihs opponent
evidently had a majority he could on
ly say that he had run him a closer
race than any previous candidate and
that he would get in the ring again.
1t is generally admitted now that but
for the Blease vote thrown to Mr..
Finley, he would have hardly beaten
Mr.. Stevenson as the Blease faction
voted almost solidly against Steven
son.
In Yorke Mr.. Finley had majority
Of 1, 967 votes, getting abount three to
one The Strength Of Mr. stevenson
was somewhat Of a surprise to people
of Rock Hill generally.

HONEST CONFESSION.

doubt as to She wosdom of their

saw now that these doubts were soon
dissipated. In common with thous-
ands of South Carolinians 1T is firm
in the opinion that but for the able
and courageous work of these
men the story which afforded to so
many of us on Tuesday night the
profoundest satisfaction migrt we'll
have had a vastly different complex
ion.
This is but a just tribute to the
above named patriots.
Surprise has been expressed in some
quarters that Messrs. JENNINGS and
Pollock received so few votes in the
primary. This in itself a most signifi-
cant tribute to the two men, showing
as it does that dleir friends and
admirers so throughly understood the
spirit of their sacrficficial services
for South Carolina and their sacrflc-
fiial services for South Carolina and
their desire to defeat ."Bleaseism"
above any personal advantage that
they directly voted for Senator Smith,
deciding, as We have good reason to
believe, in thousands of cases and
at the last moment not to cast even
complimentary" votes for Jennings,
