SHITLE LOCATES PUBLIC SCHOOL SITE AND ACCEPTS BUILDING County Superintendent of Schools W. S. Shitle went to Fruitland today to locate the site for a new public school house to be erected at an early date. " " For twelve years the public school at Fruitland has been conducted in the building of Fruitland Institute. The county board of. education had a twen . ty year lease on the building, but ow ing to 'the constant growth of Fruit land Institute its -management has purchased the unexpired eight years oi the twenty years' lease for $200. The county has decided, to build ' a : school house costing $1,250 within the net six months as th,e school authori ties now have no place for holding the public school of the Fruitland sec tion. V, .'" Accepts New Building. On Monday Professor Shitle accept ed a new school building just com- pleted in - district No. 7, familiarly known as the Reese school. .

The lo- cation of a new building here will ne . cessitate the erection of another in the lino section. - -. : , , -. ' ; - Prevention is better than cure and far cheaper. E BETTER IUIUSIC The $2,000 pipe, organ purchased some weeks ago by the Henderson ville Methodist church has arrived and will be installed within the n t few days. It will be recalled that through the untiring efforts of Rev. A. L. Stan ford, pastor of this church, Andrew Carnegie was induced to donate $1000 towards the purchase of this instru ment on the condition that the church would supplement the fund with $1,000. The church busied, itself at once and little trouble was. experienced in raising the required $1,000. A representative of the M. .P. Mol ler -Organ company, from which the musical instrument was purchased, will;; be in the city within a day or so to install the organ. The installation of a pipe organ is an innovation for Hendersonville" churches and the improvement that will be noticed in the music of the Methodist church will doubtless be highly appreciated by those visiting this house of worship.

Toms and son, Charles French Toms, and Jonathan Case, has been furnished with modern machinery and is now in operation. - The prospects for a busy season for this factory are exceedingly bright and many thousand cans of fruit and veg etables will be put up within the next few weeks.

It is a known fact that 200 acres of Henderson county land have been planted with beans and tomatoes with which to furnish this factory. In ad dition to this thousands of bushels of Henderson produce will be utilized by this mill.

W. J. Thackston one of the most progressive citizens of Green ville, S. C, and for a long time an ad mirer of this city and vicinity, will be given the credit for the first $100.00 contribution to the proposed new Hampton-Vance highway,' by which name it will hereafter be designated The same is especially appropriate as it represents the best known''ormer stateman from , each state and whose names have gone down in history as great men. . .During the early part of the season the famous Flat Rock road received an application ofj sand-clay at a con siderable expense, from private and county funds. This movement, it will be remembered, was started in The Daily Herald last seasoji, . with a small subscription which grew to about $2,000. - Supervisor Justice has Jest no time in making the Henderson county end of the Greenville-Hender-sonville highway improvements as far as the insufficient funds of the county would , permit.

Looks like the amount will reach $100 within a few days. . The part of the highway which will be improved immediately in fact the county chain gang now has a squad of menon the ground in the stretch of road , between Green - River Manu facturing company andTuxedo station. It is said .of this part of the road that nearly every automobile that has been driven here from Greenville this sea son has had considerable trouble - in passing this place, some of the ma chines having to be towed by oxen in pulling out of the mud. This condi tion should not exist on one of the main thoroughfares in Henderson county and with the money thus far raised the road will be improved. The Greenville authorities have a movement well under way to macadam the road to the top of the Blue Ridge Mountain at the state line. Mr. Thackston and W. G.

Widow of Former Congressman Sues v Thomas Settle Attorney's Fees In volred. Waynesvllle, July Taking into con sideration the prominence of the par ties involved, a case of more than usual interest Is being heard in the Haywood . County Superior court. It is that in which Mrs. J. M. Moody, widow of the late Congressman James M. Moody of this place, is suing Thomas Settle, 'a prominent attorney of Asheville and one of the leading republican politicians in the state, for the recovery of $2000 on the allega tions that the Moody estate paid this amount to Mr. Settle for expenses in curred, or to be incurred, in the pros ecution of the contest for a seat In congress with Hon J. M. Gudger, Jr., in the year 1903, and that little if any of it was used by Mr. Settle for the purpose for which it was paid. The plaintiff rested Saturday afternoon, and when court recessed Mr. Settle had just gone on the stand. He has been testifying today, and it Is his contention that the money was paid to him for attorney's fees and for expenses connected with getting pas sed an act of congress through which Mrs. Moody was paid $5000. the equiv alent of a year's salary for Mr. Moody, after he had died. CoL Lnsk's Testimony Col. Lusk was associated with Mr. Settle in the prosecution of the con test, and he claims that he did not get any of the $2000. Col. Lusk was on the stand Saturday. In effect his testimony was that he and Mr. Settle had been employed by Mr. Moody to carry on the contest as legal advis ors; that Mr. Moody agreed to nay them J500 each, $2.50 at the time of the agreement and $2.r0 at tho con elusion of the suit. The colonel said that this $250 was all the money he had ever received in connection with the case. He went on to say that after the death of Mr. Moody and while he was at Tryon taking evidence, he received a communication from Mr. Settle in which he said he was trying to get more money with which to carry on the contest; that when he returned home Mr. Settle showed him an agreement by which they were to carry, on the contest to an end and release the Moody estate from any of the expenses forthe sum of $2000. If $2000 had been paid. Col. Lusk said, he had never received any of it. It is understood that there is now pending in ' the Buncombe coun court a suit against Mr. Settle in which CoL Lusk seeks to collect $250 the balance of $500 which he was to receive forprosecutlng the contest Gazette-tfe.
