There are more than dozen Yorl
county boys and girls attending Boil
ing Springs High School near Shelby
N. c., this year, the largest number
perhaps ever attending the schoo
from this county. The school which Il
a educational institution is unde,
the direction Of Prof. J. D. Higgins
who was for number Of years prin-
cipal of the Bethany High school wher
that institute was a boarding school
Several of the York county students
spent last Sunday and Monday al
their respective homes.
I OF interest to people throughout the
county generally is the announcement
that the current term OF winthrop
College opens on September II. In
formation is that there will be O.
unusually large number Of York
countyiyoung ladies in attendance up
on Winthrop this year. Several York
county families for years resident OF
other sections Of the country have
moved to Rock Hill and vicinity with
In the past few weeks in order, that
their daughters might attend Winthrop
and at the same time live at home.
There are twenty-three inmates OF
the county home at the present time
according to Superintendent !. P. BOYD
who was asked about the matter We'd
nesday. OF these twelve are white and
eleven are colored. Everything is run
ming along smoothly, according to Mr..
Boyd. Several Of the children at the
home will enter the schools Of the
county this fall. Crops on the county
home farm are looking pretty good
and a big production Is expected.
Among the truck crops being grown
this year is about two acres Of sweet
potatoes, the largest acreage ever de-
voted to that crop at the home.
Chief of Police Steel of Yorkville,
proposes to take hand in curbing
the gait of automobile speeders through
tho streets of the town. The chief
has been on his job here only one
week. but that has been plenty, long
enough for him to get a limo on con
ditions generally pretty well and his
attention has been drawn considerably
to the speed fiends. II don't want TO
do anybody-citizen Of the town or
any one else; but folks driving cars
around here. will have to keep within
tho pace set by the ordinances cover
ing the subject and IL they don't
well, the mayor assures me that he
will handle his end Of it all right"
There has been no time sot for the
meeting of the York county commits
sioners with the Cherokee county au-
thorities at which time 1t Is proposed
to fix the connecting place for tfe York
and Cherokee county roads. ) Super
visor Boyd said Wednesday that there
was some misunderstanding over the
question with whom the York; county
board is to deal-whether 1t shall be
the Cherokee county board of commits
sioners or the Cherokee County High
way commission. There are some who
think that the matter Is one which the
county highway commissioners have In
charge: but the York county commits
sionefs are of the opinion that they
should deal with the county commits
sioners of Cherokee county. Anyway
there is some difference of opinion and
the York county commissioners are 60
ing to know positively with what au-
thorities they must deal before they
do any dealing.
or considerable interest to people
generally throughout the Piedmont
section is the trial of Hugh T. Bran
lett, q we'll known contractor Of Green
vile who is now on trial for his life
in that city charged with shooting and
killing his mother law, Mrs. L. c
McHugh and wounding his sister-in-
law, Miss Peoria McHugh. The tria
was concluded this week. Mr.. j. Lyle
Love, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. r. r. Love
of York No. 3, Is one of the attorneys
for the defense in the case, he having
been engaged in the practice of law
in Greenville for several years past
The killing occurred last June and
aroused considerable feeling through
out Greenville county on account oi
the prominence Of all the persons con-
cerned, It being deemed best to carry
Bramlett to the state penitentiary fol
safe keeping after the tragedy. The
defense's plea is insanity. There Is an
imposing array of legal counsel on
both sides and the outcome of the
case will be awaited with considerable
interest.
