Scraps and |arts. ? The annual ball game between Republican and Democratic teams was pulled off in Washington, Saturday, for the benefit of the Washington play grounds association. The Democrats won by a score of 29 to 4, only four innings being played. E. Yates Webb, of North Carolina, pitched for the Democrats. ? Los Angeles, Cal., July 11: The question, "Should religion be taught In the school?" was answered affirmatively today by the conference of ministers attending the 24th convention of Christian Endeavor societies. So also was that as to the teaching of I sex hygene, though the clergymen j registered It as their opinion that sex knowledge should net be taught school pupils by the regular teachers, but by physicians especially appointed for the purpose. To strengthen the influence of the Protestantism, it was recommended that the churches join a federation and work in unison. Dr. Chas. M. Sheldon, of Topeka, Kan., recommended the compilation of a Bible text book for use In the schools. He spoke against college and high school fraternities as a menace to democracy. ? A measure that may revolutionise the present shipping and export of cotton In bales, is being discussed by the Georgia Bankers' association, in a circular sent out to the farmers, ginners, cotton seed oil men, cotton exports and compressors of that state. It calls attention to the resolution recently passed at a meeting of the steamship companies and railroad lines. Under these resolutions of the railroads, agents are instructed to note on all bills of lading, the exact condition of the cotton in regard to damp ness, iacK ox pruper imsiius, nsswv, stain and similar conditions. "It is of grave import that you exert every effort within your power to see that all cotton within your territory conforms to these rules; to see that the hale when ginned is the proper and standard sixe; and that it is kept at all times under cover and not subject to rain and other weather haxards, and that sufficient bagging of good quality be used." ? During the delivery of a lecture at Hendersonville, N. C., Sunday, Secretary of State William J. Bryan paused In the course of his lecture to state that he is compelled to deliver chatauqua lectures in order to supplement his government salary, which he declared is not sufficient to meet his expenses. "As this is my first Chautauqua lecture since becoming a member of the cabinet," said Secretary Bryan, "it may not be out of place to say that I find It necessary to lecture in order to supplement the salary which I receive from the government. As I have lectured for 18 years, this method of adding to my Income is the most natural one to which to turn and I resmrri it sa extremely legitimate. I did not think it improper to go from the chautauqua platform into a presidential race, and if I had been elected, I would have thought it no stepping down to return to the lecture platform. These meetings enable m to keep in touch with the people." Thousands of people were present to hear the secretary of state. ? Secretary Garrison on last Friday ordered Col. Edwin P. Brewer of the Fourteenth cavalry at Fort Mcintosh, Texas, to demand the release of the Ave Americans together with 350 cattle and 30 horses held by the Mexican revolutionists at Hidalgo. Mexico. Secretary Bryan requested the action. Secretary Bryan, who made public the order to Col Brewer, declined to discuss the question of what would be done in the event the revolutionists declined to give up the Americans and their property. It was regarded as certain at the state department that Col. Brewer's demand would be complied with promptly. Hidalgo is on the Texas border, about 50 miles northwest of Fort Mcintosh, and it is expected that the colonel will execute his mission before many hours pass. The attention of the state department was called to the imprisonment of the Americans and the seizure of their property by Consul Garrett at Neuvo Laredo, Mexico. When Consul Garrett demanded the release of his countrymen the revolutionists told mm mey must awa.ii. urune > ?? Piedras Negras. ? Washington, July 14: Representatives of the 80,000 conductors and trainmen of eastern railways who have voted to strike for higher wages, and managing officers of the railroads agreed at the White House today to submit their differences to arbitration under the provisions of the NewlandsClayton act, which President Wilson and congressional leaders promised to make law by tomorrow night In the meantime no strike will be declared, officials of the employes' brotherhoods agreeing to an armistice until Wednesday night. This victory for arbitration over the strike was the result of a two-hour conference at the White House between president Wilson and congressional leaders, both Republicans and Democrats, the presidents and managers of the railroads and renresentatives of the Brotherhoods of Trainmen and Conductors. The agreement not only averted, temporarily at least, the strike which threatened to tie up railroad traffic generally in the east, but smoothed out differences of opinion that had arisen in both houses as to the composition of the board of mediation and provided a permanent commission to deal with railroad disputes. ? Washington, July 14: A proposal outlined by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in a statement several days ago amending the administration currency bill's provisions for refunding Federal two per cent circulation bonds by the issue of three per cent bonds, precipitated a heated discussion in the conference of members of the house banking and currency committee today. After three hours' fruitless argument the conference adjourned tonight with the members in a rather excited frame of mind and the McAdoo proposal still pending. Although the refunding section of the bill had not been reached in the consideration of the measure, Chairman Glass today offered the McAdoo proposal as an amendment. In a statement tonight Mr. Glass said the "plan was designed to clarify the meaning of the bill as to the disposition to be made of United States two nei1 nant hnnils and to erive assurance 1-*? - ~ - to the holders of such bonds, that the government has no purpose to abrogate the circulation privilege attached to them until the end of the 20-year period provided for In the refunding process." ? London, July 13: The Balkan states appear to be again in the melting pot. There is no sign of peace at present. Greece and Servia have declined to agree to an armistice. The Turkish army is advancing by forced marches from Tchatalja and Bulair apparently with the consent of Greece and Servia to attempt the recapture of Adrianople and Thrace. Rumania is said to be proceeding to occupy a much larger extent of Bulgarian territory than she previously claimed, and Greece is burning to avenge the Bulgarian massacres, concerning which horrifying details continually appear in official reports issued from Athens and Saloniki. According to these reports, ears and fingers of Greek women still bearing ear-rings and rings were found in the pockets of Bulgarian prisoners.There still is talk of Russia interfering and it is reported from St. Petersburg that the powers in concert have notified the Sublime Porte they will not permit military operations beyond the Gnos-Midia line fixed by the London conference. No fresh fighting is reported and it appears that rumors regarding a revolution in sona are without foundation. ? Washington, July 14: Martin E. Mulhall, professed field agent, strikebreaker, lobbyist and political worker for the National Association of Manu- i facturers. continued today his remark- i able story before the senate lobby investigating committee. Mulhall was i on the stand for six hours. In that i time nearly 6.000 letters, telegrams i and scraps of memoranda were identi- ) fled by him. He remembered appar- ( ently the first names of members of i congress, of lesser politicians, of labor < leaders and underlings, of secretaries i to congressmen and of all the men he < had worked with through a year of 1 most active campaigning in many t parts of the country. His perform- \ ance seemed so remarkable to lawyers \ present that they sat all through a long day Intently watching the witness and listening closely to the tales and every word that the witness uttered In the brief cross-examination that accompanied some of them. Mulhall's correspondence told of the efforts to re-elect former Congressman Littlefield of Maine and defeat the present representative from that district, Daniel J. McGillicuddy. Littlefleld was to to be supported by the National Association of Manufacturers because of his stand against labor legislation. Mulhall said on cross-examination that he had been told that $60,000 was spent in the campaign. Mulhall's letters went into detail concerning the campaign he made In Maryland to beat former Congressman Pearre of Cumberland. Pearre was the author of an "injunction bill" and Mulhall and other agents went out to get his political scalp. Sit; inquirer.

A Mississippi Judge holds that a razor carried in a negro's pocket is not a weapon, but a toilet article? useful for massaging the faces of other negroes at frolics, we suppose. If all the calamities that are promised, follow the enactment, of the new tariff and currency laws, Mr. Wilson will do well to have a receiver In hankruDtcv anDointed for the coun try. To judge from the frequency with which Lamar, the "Wall Street Wolf," made use of the telephone In his impersonations of prominent men, It would seem that he never called "central," when the "line's busy."

The city of Orangeburg on July 17 will vote on the question of changing Its form of government to the commission form. Much Interest is being taken in the coming election. ? The South Carolina Bankers' association) in its session at Lake Toxaway, N. C., last Friday and Saturday, went on record as favoring the establishment of some Bort of credit system for farmers. ? Orangeburg county is to vote on th? nupstion of dlsnensary or no dis pensary on August 19. The antlsaloon people of the county are making an organised fight against the establishment of the "moral institution" in Orangeburg. Abbeville county will also vote on the dispensary question on August 19, as will also Lexington county on the same date. ? William Hughes, a farmer, is in jail in Spartanburg, charged with the murder of Coker Cox, Wednesday night. A negro woman, Lula Huff, who has not yet been found, is charged with being an accessory to the alleged crime. Hughes and Cox met at the negro woman's house and there quarreled. Cox, who was unarmed, according to the coroner, was shot down by Hughes. ? Governor Cole L. Blease is at Glenn Springs for a brief rest. He went by way of HendersonviUe, where he was met by Senator John L McLaurin and' taken to the Wheeler house in the senator's automobile. As he got off the train, the governor shook hands with Secretary of State Bryan, who was getting on. Next morning when the governor read in the Asheville Citizen that Mr. Bryan had stated that he was lecturing to supplement his salary which he alleges is inadequate, Governor Blease said: " It seems to me that if Mr. Bryan's salPT is not satisfactory, he should resign. Senator Tillman ruined himself with the people of South Carolina by running about after gate money like that, instead of remaining in Washington attending to his business as he should have done. I have had no less than four offers that I reckon either Tillman or Bryan would consider liberal, to deliver chatauqua lectures; but I turned them all down as quickly as I could dictate the necessary letters. South Carolinians are the proudest people on the face of the earth, and they consider it beneath the dignity of their state to have their representatives running round after people's money for telling them what should be told them free of charge, and I see it the same way. ? Pee Dee Daily, July 11: George R. Rembert, a Columbia lawyer, opened his campaign for governor in a speech over an hour long to about 1,600 people, mostly from Chesterfield and Marlboro, at Cheraw today. Blease and Rembert arrived from Columbia on the 11 o'clock train. The speaking began about 12. Magistrate Belk of Cheraw, presided and introduced the speakers. Rembert devoted most of his speech to praising Blease and criticising the newspapers in general and the Columbia State in particular. He read and commented on the Interview with "Bullmoose Beard" on the gubernatorial race, published in the Pee Dee Dally. Referring to Beard's statement that Rembert was not gubernatorial timber, he said: "If you all knew Beard you would think he is about as well qualified to judge of the qualifications of a governor as a flea on a hound dog is to judge the qualifications of the Pope of Rome." Beard was present in the crowd. The editor of the Daily wa;: also present As to Beard's charge that he was imitating Blease, Rembert said he considered that a compliment, as the rest of them did not have sense enough to imitate him. He said he did not deem it necessary to read Governor Blease's reply to Beard's interview in the Daily, but Blease said Beard was not telling the truth, as far as he was concerned. Rembert said he heard that one candidate for governor has said he would get all the respectable Blease votes and Rembert would get the rest. Rembert said he would tell the candidate this to his face when he got into his county. Rembert discussed briefly his inheritance tax bill and his taxation bill. He told of Blease standing on the state house steps and telling the people of Richland county to vote for Rembert for the legislature, "and we licked 'em to a frazzle," he said. When Rembert declared himself against prohibition, he elicited the loudest ap- i plause that had been given him. He opposed any restrictions as to voting in the primary. He was applauded when he closed. Governor Blease began by paying a tribute to the late Chief Justice Mclver, and gave W. D. Evans the credit for effecting the com- , promise which secured Mclver's elec- i tion. He said Cheraw still had a su- | preme court justice who has more < good common horse sense than all the balance of the supreme court, Dick ( Watts. Blease said he had too much ( sense to dictate to the people whom to ] elect governor. He advised them to < vote for a man who stood for principle. He said he had heard Dick Watts I montinnnH onH it Wotto u'Atilrl run Ho would make George Rembert and the rest get out of the way. "I have also . heard Senator McLaurln's name mentioned. He is a good, true man who has not been treated right by the people of South Carolina." He referred to Rembert as standing with him like a stone wall. He refused to commit himself as to who should be the next governor, but said "for the past two and a half years, and for the next year and a half, South Carolina shore had one governor." He criticized the welfare conference and Prof. W. K. Tate, who, he said, favored white people teaching In negro schools. He said he had pardoned over 700, two-thirds of them negroes, and was not done yet. He said he would not muster out the eleven companies recommended by W. W. Moore, "if Woodrow Wilson and the whole Democratic adminls- e tration had been sunk to the bottom t of the Pacific ocean, with a guarantee r that they would stay there till I did." He and Rembert both received a good sprinkling of applause. c X.OCAX. AFFAIRS. * r NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Medical College of South Carolina?Information aa to opening of next session, October 1st.

People who have occasion to travel over the Marlon and Klngvllle branch of the Southern railway, between Blacksburg and Rock Hill, are remarking about the great improvement in the track during the past few weeks.

COMMUTATION TAX. There were 3,842 York county men, liable to road duty, who paid the $3 commutation tax to County Treasurer Neil up to and including July 1st. The total of payments this year was $11,626, a decrease from last year of 3339. The payments by townships this year as compared with 1912, are as follows: Townships. 1912 1911 Bethel $ 1,251 $ 1,266 Bethesda 1,118 1,050 Broad River 936 '' 927 Bullock's Creek .. .. 1,218 1,368 Catawba .. ..0 1,887 1,854 Ebenezer 1,509 1,338 Port Mill 891 684 King's Mountain .... 1,653 1,611 York 1,407 1,428 Totals $11,865 $11,526 Bethel, Bullock's Creek and York townships all show an increase in the amount of commutation taxes paid, while the other six townships show decreases as compared with a year ago. TAX REFUND. The total of taxes refunded to the taxpayers of King's Mountain and 1 Bethel townships, under authority of | the "storm act," passed at the last ses- i sion of the legislature for the relief of the storm sufferers of the two townships, amounted to $4,192.24, or In other words a refund of IS mills on $322,480. The tax refunds under the various divisions of the tax assessments, were 1 as follows: J Two mill road?Bethel, $114.10; ( King's Mountain, $530.86. Ordinary county?Both townships, J $1,289.92. , State tax levy?Both townships, i $1,854.26. 1 Bridge fund?Both townships, $403.- ! 10, making the total refund of $4,192.24. \ It will be remembered that Governor Blease in his campaign speech in Yorkville last summer, promised to recommend to the legislature an abatement of the taxes for the benefit of the storm sufferers, and this he did in his annual message to the legislature. The bill for the relief of the people Interested was introduced in the senate by Senator Beamguard. REPORT OF GRAND JURY The grand Jury was discharged yesterday afternoon, Just before adjournment, after it had presented the following report, signed by Jas. M. Starr, foreman, to the court: We the grand Jury, having passed on all bills handed us and returned same to the court with our findings. The chairmen of the different committees appointed by the grand Jury, report that they have nothing special at this te?m to report. It has come to the attention of the grand Jury that there is an obstruction across the public road leading from Rock Hill to Yorkville, in York townBhip, between the residence and barn, or outbuilding, of J. C. Wallace, and we order the York township supervisor to have same removed. It has also come to our attention that the trestles on the Charleston division of the Southern railway in York county, are in bad condition and we suggest that the proper authorities use monna at nncd to nilt Same in eOnd 8 condition. T Thanking your honor, the solicitor, and the members of the court for the ^ courtesies shown us, we ask to be re- ^ lleved from further duty at this term of the court. a a v CANNING DEMONSTRATION a The canning demonstration for the c benefit of the Girls' Tomato cluo, in the court ho.ise yard Friday afternoon S ft-as a thorough success, and perfectly 0 satisfactory to Prof. Carbery and Miss v Minnie Garrison, superintendent of the j fork county Tomato clubs, except in j >ne particular; that being that there v vere only about a dozen members of he Tomato clubs present. However. J he absence of the younger ladles was v nade up for, in a measure by the >resence of a hundred or more ladles p >f Yorkville and the country sur- ^ ounding, who came to see and learn ^ vhat they could of the better and ^ asier way of canning fruits and vege- d ables that Mr. Carbery and Miss Garison are endeavoring to teach. The demonstration took place in the n ourt house yard, but before it was S< over, a shower of rain forced those present into the court house auditorium, where Mr. Carbery made a talk on the subject of canning in general and of canning tomatoes particularly, that proved most interesting to his hearers. The speaker emphasized above all else the supreme Importance of cleanliness in canning. He stressed the point that all cans in which any fruit or vegetables are to be put, must be thoroughly sterilized in boiling water in order to destroy all possible germs that might be on or in the cans, that are the real cause of fermentation and the spoiling of canned goods. Mr. Carbery expressed the hope that the time was rapidly coming when the people of this county would be canning all the vegetables and fruits that they used at home and have a surplus that could and would be sold to people who didn't have the fruit and vegetables to can, or were not disposed to do the work. BASEBALL NOTE8 The Yorkvllle baseball team lost the entire series played with Winnsboro on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. The score was 9?3, 4?0 and 13?4 respectively. It cannot be said that the Winnsboro lads had the team from Yorkvllle outclassed, but numerous errors and laggard playing on the part of the locals was the cause of defeat Kennett and Gaulden, the YorKville pitchers, did good work, and had their teammates given them proper support, the results might possibly have been different. There is no reason why Yorkville should not have as good a baseball team as any other town in the state. There are numerous young fellows here who can play ball and if they would come out and give the members of the regular team a hard fight for their respective positions, the boys who now compose the team representing Yorkville, would play a better game. < Although somewhat discouraged, Manager Smith is not quite ready to give up and will endeavor to get a game with Hickory Grove in Yorkville this week. Hickory Grove, Clover, Sharon and Rock Hill all have good teams, and If the Yorkville boys would really try to play they coud give any of the above mentioned teams a hard fight The coming A. R. P. va the town games will possibly develop some new material and a general re-organization of the Yorkville team is quite likely. The ' Hickory Grove team went to Wlnnsboro yesterday evening for a series of three games. Hickory Grove will undoubtedly make things interesting for the fast-going Winnsboro baseball players. WITHIN THE TOWN ? Dr Hugh A. Romine, a graduate veterinary surgeon, has located in Yorkville for the practice of his profession. ? A called meeting of Bethel Presbytery will be held In the First Presbyterian church in Yorkville tomorrow, for the purpose of dissolving the pastorial relationship between Rev. H. J. Mills and the Clover and Bowling Green Presbyterian churches. ? The recretary of the Yorkville Board of Trade sent out notes to one hundred or more citizens of Yorkville, announcing the quarterly meeting of the board to be held last evening at 8.30. There were only a few members in attendance, however, at the appointed hour and since a quorum could not be obtained, there was no meetinar. ? Special attention is called to the advertisement In another column of the Merchant's Credit company. For ten days or more a representative of this concern has been in Yorkvllle, and has completed arrangements to Issue a "credit guldu" here. This company operates all over the country and its effects are growing In favor with merchants everywhere. The object of the credit guide is to protect business men who do a credit business from the man who does not pay his bills. Every man who owes a merchant, will be listed in the guide and a statement will be made as to whether the debtor Is good, prompt, slow, no good, won't pay, when and where unpaid accounts were contracted, etc. In other words, it will show whether or not an applicant for credit is worthy of credit or otherwise. The guide will be especially valuable to its subscribers In looking up the credit standing of people moving in from other towns. As the company's local guide will cover a radius of 100 miles and it will furnish special reports on request from distant points. It will also be of special value to the poor man, who Kin AKllooH/\na rvrnmrvllir no thla IIICCIO ma uuugaviuuo P* v/mj/v.j , uo too, la to be stated in the guide.

Brice, Esq., In behalf of Mr. Oates, said that while Mr. Oates was a minister of the Gospel and therefore exempt under the statutes, he was perfectly willing' to do his duty as a man and a citizen and would gladly serve if It was deemed necessary. The court promptly excused Mr. Oates. Solicitor Henry announced to the court that he would try only two case where the defendants were out on bond ?that of the State vs. W. L. Jackson, charged with incest, and Dennis Wilkes, charged with selling whisky. Owing to the fact that several jurors had' been excused, it was necessary to draw a venire from the five-mile box: The following were drawn to serve at this term: C. J. Youngblood, W. L. Baber, J. G. Dickson, R. E. Montgomery, C. H. Keller, W. 8. Dickson, P. C. Riddle, EX V. Templeton. EX F. Jacobs, white, charged with assault with Intent to ravish, was arraigned and plead not guilty.

Mary Franklin, charged with riot, entered a plea of guilty, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $35 or to serve thirty days on the county chalngang. She paid the fine. Mary's case was to have come up at the last term of general sessions court, she having been mixed up with Lonnle Hall and Lu E. Bolln in a general disturbance on the plantation of Mr. Jeff D.

Kelly had no attorney and conducted his own case. The Jury was out on the case after court adjourned yesterday evening and this morning returned a verdict of not guilty. The young Irishman thanked the court and jury, and made a hasty departure, much to the amusement of the audience, ence. Rastus Swanger, an alleged forger, was the next prisoner to be arraigned. Not guilty, was Swanger's plea, and he asked for a continuance on the ground that he had not had a chance to secure any witnesses or an attorney. He produced a newspaper article which purported to be a recommendation of himself, and he claimed that if he were given a continuance he would be able to produce witnesses who would testify in his behalf. Judge Holman asked Swanger several questions as to the testimony of his witnesses, and finally ordered Sheriff Brown to wire Montezuma, N. C., In order to try and secure them. In the meantime the alleged forger's case was continued. There being no further cases ready for trial, court adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. The case against Rastus Swanger charged with forgery, was the first called this morning, Judge Holman overruling: his motion for continuance.

The 1913 Filbert picnic has been ' announced for Friday, August 1st, and despite the fact that this is an offyear in politics, the Filbert camp of Woodmen of the World is making . plans to make this year's picnic one of the best yet held under the auspices of the camp. The Filbert picnic has become a fixed institution in York county and is looked forward to from the passing of one to the coming of the next, The irst picnic at this place was in 1901, 1 but this was really only a local affair and did not attract much atten- J tion outside of the immediate neighoorhood, A feature of the first FiJoere picnic was much drinking and , numerous scraps, J It was not until 1904 that the Fil- i bert picnic attracted much proml- { nonce, That year was an election year ] ind politics and politicians were fea- , :ured as the drawing card of the oc- \ melon, The plonlc was held on | Vugust 13, and was attended by be- , :ween 400 and 600 people. County , mndldates were there in force and . made good use of the, occasion in j nushing their claims for pfflce, The 1906 picnic was more of a so:ial occasion, was held on July 22, . md about 1,000 people were in atendance. The speakers on this occasion were the late Dr. J. H. Thorn- 1 veil, Congressman D. E. Finley and a Messrs. M. B. Jennings and Thos. F. i tfcDow. < The 1906 picnic was again of a po? s itical nature. It was just about this t lme that the beginning of the end had t come for Senator Tillman's pet? t he "great moral institution. xuv < enator was the biggest "political" t tar on the occasion, July 24. Till- t nan spoke for an hour and a half t ind "had the crowd." He warmly ? lefended the grog mill and paid his c 'respects" to Mr. Brlce and to The t Snqulrer. He wound up his speech i vlth a warm argument against com- ( ulsory education, using the "nigger" is a text. Mr. Finley, Dr. Strait, and ~ dr. F. H. Hyatt, the apostle of good t oads, were also on hand and adIressed the "dear peepll." The at- t endance was large. _ The 1907 picnic was held on July d 7, and was attended by 1,200 to 1,- f 00 people. The Hon. E. D. Smith, r rganizer of the South Carolina Cot- _ on Growers' association, was the eadllner on this occasion, and held lie close attention of his hearers. ,, [on. John Gary Evans had acceptd an invitation to be present to make n address, but failed to make his h ppearance. Hon. D. E. Finley foliwed Mr. Smith in a short talk. * Politics was ; e attraction on Satrday, July 24, 190$, and 1,500 to [ 2,000 people were on hand to hear and see. Speeches before dinner were made by Messrs. W. P. Pollock of Chesterfield, T.,B. Butler of Gaffney, and D. E. FInley of Yorkville, all candidates for congress. Rev. J. L. Harley, of the anti-saloon league, who was making a state-wide fight on the dispensary, was also on hand and made an address of about 46 minutes In the afternoon, being listened to by about 300 people. The invitations sent out to speakers for the 1909 picnic on July 24, included Hon. B. R. Tillman, Hon. B. D. Smith, E. J. Watson, commissioner of agriculture; Prof. Ira Williamson. of the farm demonstration work; and Messrs. M. L. Smith, of Camden; C. C. Featherstone, Cole JU Blease, T. B. Butler and P. E. Finley. The crowd was a large one. T. B. Butler, Esq., was the only invited speaker who was on hand. M. B. Jennings, Esq., acted as chairman on this occasion and made a few remarks. The attendance at the picnic on August 12, 1910, was small. Senator E. D. Smith was the specially invited guest for the occasion, but failed to materialise. Although another off-year politically, the 1911 picnic on July 28, was attended by between 3,000 and 4,00ff people from all parts of the county. Hnn Tnm P Humor of Bennettsville. head consul of South Carolina Woodmen, was on hand and made an address on "Woodcraft" Hon. John O. Richards of Liberty Hill, and a candidate for railroad commissioner, was also present and made a talk on the "Farmers' Union."

About 1,200 people attended the 1912 picnic on August 1st The speakers of the day Included Superintendent of Education Swearlngen, Judge Ira B. Jones, candidate for governor; W. P. Pollock, candidate for congress; F. H. Hyatt, the good roads advocate, and John G. Richards, candidate for railroad commissioner. Governor Blease and John Gary Evans, Esq., were also invited to be present but neither of them was present Everybody went to Filbert last year looking for and expecting excitement, especially as Judge Jones and Governor Blease were expected to be present. But the day passed off as quietly as an old maid's sewing circle meeting. Another off-year is 1913, but the Woodmen's committee of arrangements is going to try to make the picnic on Friday, August 1st one of the biggest ever held at Filbert Among ha anaabain who will ho Invited ATA | Governor Cole I*.

At the home there is a family by the name of McMackln, which Includes a number of children, several of which are imbeciles as well as others that have better mental faculties. The county supervisor and the superintendent of the county home, have desired for quite a while to place these more fortunate children in better surroundings, but the supervisor has not felt that, he had authority to make such a move; In order to give him such authority, the grand Jury yesterday afternoon adopted the following which fives Supervisor Boyd authority to act: "We, the grand Jury of York county now in session, realizing the condition , or certain McMackin children now in the Codhty Home, feel for the sake of humanity that, owing to environments, that said children should be removed from the county home and hereby Instruct and authorize the county supervisor, Thda W. Boyd, to place said children in some orphanage and pay for their maintenance out of county funds." AROUND ABOUT BLAIR8VILLE Rain Badly Needed?The Crops?No Fruit?Coming and Going CortuponiUa? Tb? YorkvlU* Kaqulrar , Blalrsvllle, July 12.?While this section is not actually suffering on account of the laok of rain, it would do a great deal of good and it is hoped that there will be a good down-pour In the next few daya The Bullock's Creek section, further down, is really suffering, that community not having had a good rain since the cold snap several weeks ago. The cotton and corn crop in this Immediate section looks quite encouraging. The farmers have gotten rid of the greater part of the grass and although a little late, cotton is growing nicely. Messrs. E. G. MitchaII and H Q. Carroll have some es pecialiy fine corn, and while there may be other farmers in this locality who have some Just as good or better, we have it from good' authority that the above named gentlemen have about the best A good rain would do much toward producing a good watermelon crop. This is a great section for the raising of melons; nearly every farmer In the country surrounding, having one or. more patches, and a few people planting nearly an acre In melons. But If the rain is not forthcoming pretty soon the melon crop will almost be a failure. It has not been decided yet as to whether the Blalrsvllle picnic will be held this year or not The Blalrsvllle picnics are always a source of much pleasure to people in the country surrounding, and are usually well attended. In our last letter your correspondent made some mention as to the outlook for a good fruit crop. Conditions have changed since then, however, and a few scattering peaches, plums, etc., are about all there is to the fruit crop and with the exception of blackberries, very little fruit will be available for canning. Having seen a great portion of the crops in various sections in the last few weeks, the writer is pure that those in this section will compare favorably with any locality of York county.
