night was the most inhcrmonious Of
any yet held. The factions which have
been contesting the selection Of site
for a new school building apparently
are drifting further than ever from an
agreement and even seem to be split
ting up among themselves. There are
seven trustees, and according to one
Of them, such animosity developed al
the meeting Friday that when 1t ad-
journed no two trustees would walk
| together but each went to his home
by a separate route. The special meet
ing was called for tho purpose of
paying the attorneys who have been
representing the trustees in the recent
litigation, but when the matter was
put to a vote tie resulted, one trus-
tee not voting. and no action was TAX
en-. The total amount Of the attorneys g
bills is $400. This sum Is asked to
continue the case, which Is now in the
supreme court until 1t Is finally set
tied. BY vote Of four to three the
trustees decided to employ Hon. H. K
Osborne Of Spartanburg, to assist the
attorneys who. have heretofore prose
tcuted the case. A proposition to com
promise the case, submitted by R. A
Jones and seconded by L. T. Vinesett
was tabled after but little discussion
Mr.. Jones proposed that West End
be given not less than $4,000 nor
more than $4,000 for the purpose OF
buying a lot and erecting and equip
ping a new school building. but neith-
er side would give it consideration.
