Gaffney Ledger, July 13: Feeling
that the county was getting the worst
end Of the bargain in the matter Of
exchanging prisoners with the town,
Supervisor ]. M. Jenkins last week
notified Mayor N. H. Littlejohn that
the town must send all convicts to the
county chaingang or else not send any.
The supervisor had the approval Of
the entire board Of county commission
ers in the course he took. After re-
ceiving the notice, Mayor Iittlejohn
ordered all the town prisoners, five In
number, returned to the custody Of the
CITY, According to the mayors under
standing in the matter, 1t has been
| customary for the town to send Its
convicts to the county gang unless
they were needed on the city street
force. The county authorities con-
cluded that the town Of Gaffney was
taking advantage OF this arrangement
by keeping the able-bodied, strong
men on the street force and sending
the weaker men and boys to the coun-
ty road gang. Acting upon this con-
clusion the mayor was notified that
all or none of the city prisoners must
be turned over to the county, and the
mayor decided that hereafter the town
will work its own convicts. .....T. H.

Gastonia Gazette, July IS: Cherry
Vile is still rent and torn over the
proposition of a site for the new
| school building. AS was noted two or
three weeks ago the matter was
brought before the county board Of
education but that body found that Il
had no Jurisdiction. The new admins
tration of Cherryville wanted to put
the new school building, for which
bonds in the sum Of $4,000 were
recently issued, on a site different
from the one occupied by the present
building. Recently the new board,
having procured a new site, began
work on the building. Immediately
the opposition took the matter before
Judge Webb and procured temporary
restraining order. The question as to
whether this restraining order shall
be made permanent, pending hear
ing Of the case at the September term
of court, will be argued before Judge
w. F. Harding in chambers on Thurs
day, July %. probably in Charlotte.
Both sides have retained able counsel
and the case promises to be a hard
fought one. e........A wedding which
