RECEIVES COMMISSION, FILES HIS t BOND OF $10,000 AND TAKES c OATH?SOMETHLNG OF 1 THE MAN. z Sim J. Miller, who received his commission from Governor Blease last 1 cpftpk to succeed P. H. Corley as sher- ^ iff of Lexington county, ha9 filed his * eond of ten thousand dollars, and as- a mmed the duties of the office on Mon- r fey.' , * ? Mr Miller is 33 years old. He was ' born on the farm and has followed * farming as an occupation since early ^ ' t J1 Kfe;; $m| il||l| ^t pfflSlfBPffM *g i] mum : ' a c manhood. He is a son of the late Jesse * Miller, a brave Confederate soldier, c who died when Sim Miller was only r five years of age. Being thus deprived of the teachings of a father, Sim Miller -n I ll* l. !- L'. L.Ul.n .1. J _L~11 ! nau iu uegiu. nj? uaii>ie? aiuut, a.uu wen i indeed has he worked himself up to j the position he now occupies. Like hi9 father before him, Sim Miller is brave, generous and lhanly. He has a world of pluck and energy and has, by hard work, persistent effort and honest endeavor, won the high'esteem and confidence of the peo- 1 t?!a nf the entire country. r Daring his four years' work as deputy under Sheriff Corley, he has been thrown with the great masses of th?people, and has visited every section ef the county. True to his friends, in all that the term implies, yes he has never let friendship deter him from performing ' his duty. In the discharge of his duty in the past he has knbwn neither friend nor foe. That he will perform the duties of sheriff with credit to him J self and honor to the county, is a fore gone conclusion, and his appointment meets with universal approval. , . ] farmers union 10 nave j Warehouse. 1 % In accordance with a resolution i adopted by,the South Carolina State 1 Farmers' Union at the annual meeting held in Columbia July 26-27, 1911, J steps have been taken to organize the Farmers' Union Warehouse Company * South Carolina. 1 s H.

Although the rain in and around Coumbia Sunday afternoon broke the ecord for this section for precipitaion for a five-minute period, the Irouth in South Carolina stili prevails, he precipitation for the month having >een so far only about 50 per cent of lormal. The rain Sunday afternoon was nostly local. It was, however, 0De of k /-? 1m a m *? m i- "l-% m t- U /. 1% n 1 M O /\ tVl A nit* Heaviest tins eit^ nas uau m sumo ime, there being 92 inch of rainfall, iccording to records of the local bueau. Of this amount, 90 inchs fell in light minutes. During five minutes [ '3 inch of rain fell, breaking the previous record for precipitation for a L?e-minute period. The record up to his time for this section for five minites was 56 inch, which fell on August 9, 1904. The drouth still continues in South Carolina, however, and even in this icinity. The normal rainfall for Au- I :ast is 6.78 inches, bub so far this year I here has fallen only -3.06" inches. "" ?here is 90 telling, of coarse, what > ecipitation will fall 'dnrihg the re- ^ aaining days of the mon<h, but if the fiT aonth of August follows in the same ourse as the pieceding months of the rear, the rainfall will probably be little aore than 50 per cent of normal. For one minnte only, according to he recorfis of the United States feather bureau, some hail fell in the mmediate section of Columbia, but ih s not the opinion of Section Director xeren that this amount, of hail would ? 1 j - i- - - 1 . ?1 ,1 lave ueen uebriuieuLa-i ill any uiaiKeu ri legree to the growing crops. So far ^ 10 damage to crops has been reported. Weather indications are that there will probably be some-local showers Monday night or Tuesday, and it is jrobable that it will turn warmer. I. D.
