YORK'S NEW COIKT HOUSE.
Plans Accepted for Xew Structure
which is to Occupy Site of Old
Building.
Monday's York News published at
Yorkville prints a cut of the pro
posed new court house for lorn
county which presents an exception
ally Lanus-omo appearance.
The News says of it:
"The design is by Mr. V. A. Ed
wards, an Atlanta architect of wide
reputation. Mr. Edward's plans Have
been accepted by the commission,
and it has been deided to build the
new court house on the site of the
present building. Work will Degin
In the very near future.
"York county's first court house
was built in the year 1786, shortly
after the organization of York as a
district, and was a modest frame
building, which occupied the present
site. The location of the first court
house was selected by five commis
sioner who were appointed by Gov
ernor Moultrie. During 1823-1824
this frame building was replaced Dy
a two-storv brick building wnicn a
few years later was destroyed by
fire, but the lower story was left
nractlcallv uninjured, and additions
were then made which made the
building what It la today.
"The new court house had Its tn
ceDtlon with the grand jury, anatne
Hon. Thomas F. McDow had a bill
passed through the Legislature In
1912 authorizing an election for a
bond Issue for the purpose of build
Ing a modern court house to meet
the growing needs of York county
This election was held during tne
general elections in November,
1912, and carried by a handsome
majority.
The Court House Commission is
composed of Messrs. J. S. Brice. W
8. Wilkerson and J. W. Anderson,
with Mr. J. T. Crawford and County
Supervisor Thomas Boyd acting In
advisory capacity."

have a good reasou
for crying. Mam

' dearest of all good, dear mammas, bad

was almost always at his office.
Jimmy beard Hannah, tbe nurse,
calling.
"Jimmy, oh. Jimmy! Just come and
see what pnpa has sent up from the
stores. It's Just line. I can tell you."
Jimmy jumped up and ran to tbe
kitchen. On the kitchen table lay a
huge turkey, "with loads o' flxiu's,"
cook said; a great pile of red cranber
ries, crisp, curly celery, raisins, nuts
and several big boxes
"Will papa be home for dinner? I
haven't seen him in ever so long, and I
dop't want dinner without papa." ask
ed Jimmy.
"I'll tell you. We'll phone to papa
and ask him specially to come to our
Christmas party tomorrow and to din
ner tomorrow night." nurse suggested.
"Can I really, truly phone, Ilnnnah?"
"Yes, indeed, nnd I'll show you how,"
and Hannah led the way to the room
where the telephone was.
Jimmy had to climb on a stool, he
was so little, but he didn't mind a bit.
Then nurse told him just what to say
to central, and he called papa up. Yes,
papa was coming home to dinner and
would he out all day tomorrow.
Jimmy was very happy and could
scarcely wait till dinner. But when
dinner time enme papa did not arrive.
Nurse came in and told Jimmy that
papa could uot come home that night.
Jimmy said nothing. He didn't cry
as nurse thought he would. He only
looked very sober and went to his room.
Then be wasbed his face and put on
his hat and coat He slipped down the
stairs and out the front door. He was
going to run away
When he got out in the lonely coun
try Jimmy began to be afraid. Night
came on, and it was bitter cold. He
felt tired and sleepy and crawled on
der a fence and lay down to sleep.
hen Jimmy woKe up nig bead was
resting In somebody's lap, and some
body had her arms around him.
"Poor little fellow! He's nearly fro

he heard a motherly voice say.
He looked up? Tbe lady who. was
holding him wasn't a bit like his pretty

brown dress and a rough gray shawl,
but bad a kind face. Jack, a great big
boy, carried him to the farmhouse.
Next morning Jimmy was awakened
by being vigorously shaken.
"Get up, get up! It's Christmas, and
we want to see everything." piped
Bill.
Tbey ran downstairs, and the little
girls seized the boys' hands and danc
ed around the old grandmother, who
was making cake. Then they all kiss
ed her and kissed mother and father.
Jimmy got an orange in his stocking,
too, like the others, end a nice new tie.
But dinner was tbe best of alL
They all crowded around tbe table.
Jack bad shot a wild turkey, and tbey

whole Tbey had Just begun to eat,
Jimmy declaring he "could eat a wools
boose of turkey," when there was s
knock at the door. Jimmy looked up.
and there stood papa, with Tim, tne
very oldest boy
"Papa, papal" cried Jimmy, running
to him. Papa looked tired and white.
He had been so frightened about Jim
my. Tim had found out that morn

and bad hastened to Jimmy's bouse. .
"And I'll never miss having Christ
