l. local SCHOOLS
LEAD THE STATE.
Mr.. sweafingen Says That Ander.
son Heads the Lat in Rural
Graded Schools

While in the city yesterday ]. e.
Swe ngen, state superintendent OF
education said: "Anderson County
leads the State of South Carolina in
ra.:ai sTadet schGals and the people
of yonr county have perfect right TO
BE- proud OF the magnificent work your
schools are doing" Naturally the
school officials of the county felt i'm
mensely proud over this compliment.
coming as it does. from a man who is
at tho head of the educational work
OF the State.
Mr.. Swearlngan also brought tSa the
welcome intelligence to Anderson
county that every cent of the S6.1G0
asked for the rural graded schools
OF thia county would be paid. He said
that ,ho could give his personal ass
snrance OF this. There are 26 of these
schools in Anderson county and the
declaration made by the superinten-
dent will be thankfully received in ey-
cry community where such schools
are located.
Another item of interesting news
given out by the state superintendent
was to the effect that the weak schools
of this county without the four r1ill
TAX will receive $1,000 from the State
aid fund for the purpose OF term ex-
tension. This will enable several OF
the schools in the county. to contin-
ua their scholastic year for at least
one month more than would have been
possible otherwise.
Mr., Swearirgen. while not here on
otlcial business. told tho county sn-
pefiEteadeHt CO edacat!as that from
what he could ascertain, all the
schools of Anderson county are ID
splendid shape and said that the local
authorities deserved the highest praise
for the work being accomplished.

an affair surprising anything ever

Snow began to fall in Anderson yes
terGuy YDfnin6 ABOUT 7:3G and .hc
fakes fell merrily and fastly for sew
eral minutes and then let uD until
about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when the snow again began to fall,
ana this time the sun was shining as
though 1t was the middle OF May in
stead OF in the dead of the winter.
Throughout the afternoon the fall con-
tinued at intervals, hut the fact that
tho SUN was shining prevented its
staying on the ground.

Resolutions
BE LAW SUIT

II Anderson people thought that tie
row over the matter OF thu franchise
granted the Southern Public Utilities
Company ended when the Council
took this action they wore mistaken
ITle school trustees OF this district
have decided that they will have an
inning and at n meeting Friday the
board absolutely refused to pay d wa
ter bill OF $4:2G and adopted resolu-
itiOns 10 the nffoct that they did not
consider the money due the water and
light company. The board takes the
position that the old franchise .und ,r
which the company was operating is
still in force and that Under its provis-
ions the schools were to be furnished
water free OF charge.
Tho following. is the statement Civ
IN out by membar of the board yes

tract between tho city OF Anderson
and the Anlersong Water Light and
Power company. and said contract and
franchise does not expire until about
the month OF September A. D. 1918.
That this franchise granted FREQ
water to the public schools of the
city
THAT the new franchise granted to
the Southern Pnhlie Utilities Co. by
the city council or the city of And?r-
son, was, and is, to the best of our
knowledge, information and belief, ir-
regularly and illegally passed, and
contains provisions contrary to the
constitution OF the State or South Car.
olina, and to the laws ot.tae State and
of the United States.
