If you were thoroughly familiar with the situation, you would not Credit the rumor for a moment." I And there are some who say that there Is no "ring" In Charlotte. College May Change Holiday. There Is a good deal of taTk among the students of tha Presbyterian Col lege of petitioning the faculty to change the holiday from Saturday to Monday In each week. With few ex ceptions, all the colleges In the South give Monday for a holiday, continu ing the recitations through Saturday. This plan has been found to work better than the old and almost atl of the new colleges are adopting It. Ever since its institution, the Presbyterian College has been giving Saturday for a holiday.

Could Just Find -Out Where Tho Observer Men are Finding Out so Much the Jury ' Would Get a Hump- on luelt soul ; Find a Verdict. ' 1 ' Coroner Gresham was a nonplus ed citizen yesterday. The inquest over the remains of the victim of Sunday night's tragedy was forced to go out of business for the time Monday af ternoon, for lack of witnesses and yet The Observer' came out ;; the next morning with a full story of' the oc currence.. . ., ' ;;:.;' vvVS'.'i:. v "Well,: what are the developments In the murder case?" asked a news paper man. i r-, ' "You fellows seem to know more about than than anybody else," said Mr. Gresham. "You so ahead and tell how the whole thing happened as smooth as can be, while so far as the coroner's jury is concerned we haven't got enough evidence to ahow that there was any connection at all between the man Kimball and the killing of Stephenson. If I could only get my hands on some of the folks who are giving you newspaper men your pointers we could arrive at a verdict in short order. Where did you find out all those things anyway? We can't make the prisoner testify and we can't make his wife testify, so what are we to do?" This seems to have summed up the situation, so far as the coroner's In quest Is concerned. It has adjourned sine die. KiinbaU's Record at Rock Hill. Special to The Observer. . Rock Hill. S. C March 19. The report of the homicide at Grlffths Sunday night, which appeared in Monday's Observer, was read with In terest here, Kimball having made this his home until last fait For awhile he .was the bicycle repairer for W. G Reid & Son, and It was while work ing in that capacity that he got into some kind of trouble with Mr. Will Bailey, who was also running a bl cycle shop. The two came, to blows, ,but Kimball finding Bailey a much better man than himself, he resorted to his trusty barlow knife, Inflicting wounds that put Bailey in the hos pital for Tepairs. At one time it was thought the cuts .would prove fatal, but he got well. Kimball was tried and a heavy fine placed upon him. After this trouble he went into the bicycle repair business on his own hook, at a stand on Depot street. His place was raided by the constables several times, as he was supposed to be running a "blind tiger" as a side line. Things got too warm for him and he sought greener fields. He seemed a peaceful enough fellow the only trouble he had here was with Bailey, and that probably was forced on him. StiitHon Known at Fort MUI. Special to The Observer. Fort Mill. S. S.. March 19.
