side of the building furnishing all the
light, with the exception of the door In
the front, which must be kept open lest
the children suffer from excessive heat.
The building just recently erected has
not been painted. 1t was built largely
as an experiment to see whether or not
the firebug who has burned three
buildings in the district used for school
purposes, will try to burn the latest
building. While it is serving for school
purposes all right and shows plucky
grit and determination on the part Of
the patrons of the district to have a
school, 1t is in odd contrast to the
buildings that formerly housed the
school.

Lid On in Rock Hill.
For over year the Federation OF
Bible Glasses Of the city has been try
ing to get the city council to pass a
rigid ordinance in regard to the Sun
dry closing. At the regular meeting
Of the council held Monday night a
committee composed of Mrs. ]. K.

advisability and need for more strict
observance. The ordinance passed the
third reading and as 1t now stands
provides for the selling of gasoline
during only certain hours on Sunday,
the druggist can only sell drugs. The
question of what is work of necessity
was discussed at length, some holding
! that 1t was unlawful to let the boys
sell papers on Sunday and to let the
} shoe shine stands do business. Chief
Yourgblood stated that he would like
} for council to rule on these two points.
There seems to be unanimity of
opinion that shoe shine stands are un-
necessary. There was division of
opinion as to the sale of newspapers
1t was decided to start off with an iron
clad ordinance. 1t was admitted that
the measure literally construed was
far-reaching and in its scope. Mem
bers Of the council pointed out to the
different organizations that the success
Of the law depended largely on the sup
port Of the general, public and that
those backing the ordinance would be
expected to lend every effort in detect
ing and prosecuting the offenders. A
law providing a penalty Of not less
than $40 and not more than 500 for
a person to drive a motor vehicle while
under the influence Of narcotics or in
toxicating liquors was passed.
