Scraps and ^acte. ? President Wilson and house leaders have agreed substantially on a bill granting a larger measure of self-government to the Filipinos. The president told callers yesterday that he approved the bill introduced by Representative Jones of Virginia, and modified by the house insular affairs committee but made it clear that he did not expect the bill to be passed by both houses during the present session. The president and Representative Jones conferred on the bill yesterday and afterward Mr. Jones said he planned to introduce the measure this week. As described by Mr. Jones, the bill will abolish the Philippine commission and create an elective senate. No time will be set for independence. The bill will make certain classes of resident citizens of the Philippines. The voting privilege will be based on certain property qualifications. The right of managing the foreign affairs of the islands will be reserved to the United States. ? Pittsburg, Pa,, July 5: The Carnegie Steel company has opened the steel cotton tie market for the season of 1?14 and announced its price. This price is 65 cents per bundle, July basis. This forestalls competition from English and Belgian manufacturers. Last year the proce was 80c per bundle. The * " * * * ? ~ -J ~ -vr? /*/? /\n t toC nignesi. quotation Iiiduc vii wuv.. ? in the past dozen years was in 1907, being 95 cents per bundle. Since each bundle contains 45 pounds of steel ties, the 1914 base price of 65 cents is at the rate of 1.44 per pound. The tonnage of steel involved in the season's output of cotton ties depends, of course, upon the size of the crop. Last year's crop estimate in the early spring was fifteen mi'lion bales, which would require about 75,000 tons of ties, of which it was estimated about 50,000 tons would be rolled in this territory. An estimate has not been made as yet as to the probable tonnage of ties required this year, but the suggestion is made it may come up to the average. ? Washington. July 6: Senator Borah will begin a fight today to force consideration of the Colombian and Nicaraguan treaties in open session. He presented a resolution also calling for the publication of all investigations by the foreign relations committee. It was put over until tomorrow, under rules. "If I can not get the consent of the senate to have this Nicaraguan treaty considered in the open." said Sentor Borah, "I will be forced to disregard the rules of the senate. I have not attended a single session of the commit tee since the present hearings began, because I did not propose to submit the report of my investigation to the clamp of secrecy in executive session. "If the Nicaraguan treaty is brought out into the open it will die. as it ought to die. I believe it is the outgrowth of deception, misrepresentation, fraud, tyranny and corruption, and I'm prepared to show it." Senator Borah declared that the treaty was not being negotiated with the "people of Nicaragua or the officers they have set up and elected." but with "puppets we ourselves have set up in their government." A resolution to investigate how secret doings of the committee got into the newspapers was adopted. ? St. Paul, Minn., July 4: The campaign to elect Dr. D. B. Johnson of Rock Hill, S. C., president of Winthrop Normal and Industrial college, to the presidency of the National Education association, became more conspicuous tonight. Members of the South Carolina delegation claimed they have a sufficient number of votes pledged to secure his election. O. M. Plummer of Portland, Ore., called the "father" of the eugenics movement, arrived today and will address the meeting Tuesday. An investigation of the question of school superintendency will be made by a committee of representative educators to be chosen by President J. Alley of the National rv?nnrii of Education, an auxiliary of the National Education association, which today considered superintendent problems and conditions in rural schools. The committee will report in 1916. Margaret E. Schallenberger of Sacramento, Cal., commissioner of ele^ mentary schools of the California department of public instruction, painted a glowing picture of future rural schools. She advocated rural school libraries, music and motion picture film distribution for education and entertainment. ? The dispatches from Mexico indicate that a final collapse of the existing order of things is very near at hand, and that from two to three weeks, at most, will settle the matter. A statement was published on Saturday morning to the effect that in the general election to be held Sunday, Lascurain. who was a secretary in the cabinet of Madero. was to be elected president. and he was to appoint Huerta to a foreign ministry to get him out of the country. The story was that Huerta had agreed to the arrangement and that I-ascurain was to give up his office to whoever might subsequently be i t uti nri'i lict c VotV'C niuarii ?\> iitc vviioiuuuviiuuoku. *-v of yesterday was to the effect that the voting was light and practically all of the votes cast were for Huerta. There was a story that Huerta had formed an alliance with Zapata, who has charge of the south of Mexico. There was another story that while by no possibility could Zapata take the city of Mexico, still he had the water main at his mercy and was in a position to cut off the city's water and electric light supply. There are fears that if the city should be thrown in darkness, mobs would form and take charge of things, bringing about a reign of terror. It is generally believed that Villa can hardly take the city of Mexico under two weeks. ? Plans for the issuance of the new Federal reserve bank notes to the 12 reserve banks after their establishment will be completed within 36 days. This was announced in Washington last Friday, by John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, after several conferences with Secretary McAdoo and Director Ralph, of the bureau of printing and engraving. It practically has been decided that notes of all denominations will have a green back of the same design. This would make it necessary for notes to be stacked right side up before they can be counted and would simplify the work of tellers. The notes will be in denominations of five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred dollars. Portraits of Lincoln, Cleveland, Jackson, Grant and Franklin have been considered for use <>n the various notes, but a definite decision has not been reach ed. Lists of nominees for directorships in the new Federal reserve 1 Kinks were mailed to electors of the various 'banks on Thursday. The organization committee has had the names checked many times to avoid errors. Men with similar names have been nominated in several districts and frequently the same men have been named for director in two classes. The A and B classes of directors are such that many men would be eligible to election in each class and frequently men have been named to both classes, but should one candidate be elected in both classes and be eligible in either, he willl be regarded as elected in the class where his vote is heavier. After the electors of the various banks receive the list of nominees they may wait tifteen days before casting their ballots. ? Washington, July 6: President Wilson and members of his cabinet were encouraged today by indications of an early adjustment of differences between the Constitutionalist leaders. Secretaries of the parley between representatives of Carranza and Villa declared they expected the me> ting would end today with satisfactory results. With the promised removal of such a stumbling block, administration otlicials and some of the revolutionary agents in Washington saw added cause for hope that Carranza would send agents to confer with llucrta's delegates over establishment of a provisional government, developments in the election about Mexico City yesterday in which Huerta apparently was named for president and fJen. Blanouet now sfcri-tury of war, was elected vice president. anxiously were awaited here. S me reports remained in circulation to li-v i-ii: it that after Muerta had obtained an almost unanimous "vote of confidence." such as lie was said to have received, he would retire in favor of i'edro l.aseurain. who in turn would surrender the government to a Constitutionalist. However, doubt th.at the federal dictator would adopt such a course was expressed in many circles. Details of the election were not readily forthcoming today beyond reports that re-election of members of senate and chamber of deputies was indicated anil that the vote in the capital and nearby towns was the lightest of all recent balloting. When President Wilson was asked to comment on yesterday's election in Mexico he laughed and said: "I hardlv think any comment from me is necessary." When asked if he knew anything of General Huerta's plans for leaving Mexico he smiled again and said: "I am afraid I am not in his confidence." The president refused to discuss mediation, saying the mediators were in recess at present in the hope that the warring factions will get together. (Thr \lorhrilk (gnquiwr. Entered at the PostofRce in Yorkvllle as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORKVILLE. S. C.: TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1914 Chas. Carroll Simms says that he and Browning are the only two human beings in the race for governor. He says the others are saints and ought to be in heaven. Spartanburg heckled Smith and Columbia heckled Richards. There is no good to come of the howling down of public speakers; but it is worth while to remember that one side is to be blamed no less than the other. North Carolina has an income taxlaw that has teeth in it. Where an estate fails to make proper return and pay the tax, the solicitor of the district is required to make known the fact, take such steps as are necessary to see that the state gets Its money, and he Is to have 5 per cent of the total value of the estate for a very little trouble. Mr. Irby wants to fix it so each and every share of the capital stock of any corporation shall be as valuable as any other share of the capital stock of that same corporation. Mr. Irby is entirely right on this proposition. More ill potten wealth has been piled up through the manipulation of the shares of corporations than in any other way Known, iiut as to now Mr. irby is going about securing a correction of the evil, we do not yet understand. Discussing the South Carolina senatorial compaign now in progress, the Charlotte Observer remarks: "As regards the present senatorial race, our best observation at this time is that Messrs. Pollock and Jennings, the two amateurs in a sort of political contest where amateurs stand no chance, will draw more votes from Smith than from Blease. We do not think there is any doubt that Elease and Smith will be the two candidates in the second primary. It is believed by Blease's enemies that they will then have a fine chance to get his scalp. But they have failed with seemingly finer opportunities before." The Florence correspondent of the Columbia State says that the politicians of that county are a little shy, and are a little slow about offering for election. The trouble is, the folks who want office over that way are just a little doubtful as to whether the county has a Blease or anti-Blease majori ty. If they were sure the majority was for Blease, then they would know how to manage, and if they were sure it was against Blease, then likewise. And Florence county is not altogether by itself in this regard. The Plan of Battle. Some of the readers of this are for Smith for the senate, some for Blease, some for Jennings and some for Pollock, and there are some who are not going to like what we are going to say about the matter; but all the same we are going to say at least a part of what we think. We would say it all; but that would require too much space. This light for the United States senate comprehends an interesting political game. Some of the features of this game are plain enough for anybody to see, and others are involved in more or less mvsterv and doubt. The real race is between Smith and BI ease?one standing for conservatism and the other for reform, with Jennings and Pollock, helping Smith in accordance with a plan carefully prearranged. Nobody expects Jennings or Pollock to get any considerable number of votes. They are not expecting anything of the kind themselves. If either of them should get into the second race with either Smith or Blease, the only man who would be more surprised than himself would be the other one. But Jennings and Pollock are not in this thing without motive. There is no need for anybody to deceive themselves on that score. As to just what the selfish interest behind the motive of these two politicians is, we do not know. Possibly it is money?expenses paid from some source, and a good bonus in addition. Hut we have no idea that that is the whole motive. In case of success in defeating Blease, whether they themselves get any large vote or not; both of these men will claim further reward from the faction for which they are working. Kverybody who has heard the senatorial campaigners and even thousands who have read the reports that have been published in the papers, have noticed several things that seem quite peculiar. Among these things are: 1. While at every meeting both Jennings and Pollock rap Smith very lightly, both score Governor Please as severely as the audience will permit. 2. While till the really hard knocks that Smith is getting tire coming from Please, Smith occasionally comes back it Tim ni ngt: nnfl T>. ?ll<ifk* in n milfl ill offensive kind of way: l?tit never has a word t<> say about or against lib ase. The whole thing looks like not only a thorough understanding. but a very comprehensive understanding. Judge Jones, really an able and astute campaigner, who twenty years ago had the reputation of being a star of tin- hustings almost in the class of lien Tillman, tried to assume the aggtvssive two years ago and put Governor lllease on the defensive. In the s< eond meeting of the campaign. Governor Mease became the aggressor, and he kept Judge Jones on the defensive on until the end of the campaign. With the circumstance related in mind and also recognizing Governor I'lease's iimpiest ioned ability asa campaigner, the opposition leaders this year framed up the present plan of campaign. This plan is to have Jennings and Pollock do all the aggressive work, and have Smith assume .he attitude of being a Bleaseite as far as possible, with Smith only fighting back enough to keep down suspicion of collusion. It is a noticeable fact that the personal vilification policy of two years ago has been abandoned. The sole object of that policy was to obscure the old factional lines; but the policy having defeated itself through its own vieiousness, has been abandoned. The principal reliance of Governor Blease to cripple the opposition is on the carefully prepared speech he delivered at St. Matthews and copies of which he is broadcasting over the state. In this speech he reviews the political record of Senator Smith from the beginning, and absolutely proves the active connection of that gentleman with the Independent movement led by Col. A. C. Haskell, in 1890, and makes clear a number of other points on which he would vest his cause. As to how the game is going to work out is still a matter for future deter? > its nloar thnf thp Illllltllll'U , L/UC UIIUI Ik *0 VIVMI w..?v crisis has been reached and passed, interest in the tide of the battle will steadily increase. SENATORIAL CAMPAIGNERS Lively Times at Gaffney and Spartanburg. After leaving Yorkville, the senatorial campaigners went to Gaffney and Spartanburg, and there were unusually lively meetings at both places. After Spartanburg, the campaigners took a rest for two days and the next meeting is to be held at Union tomorrow. The Gaffney meeting was overwhelmingly In favor c." Governor Blease. and showed but little disposition to submit to the abuse of Messrs. Jennings and Pollock; but gave Senator Smith a very respectable hearing. Pollock was heckled unmercifully. Governor Blease left the stand according to his custom after he had finished his speech, and a large part of the crowd went wltn mm. very iew ui the governor's friends remained to hear what Mr. Jennings had to say. When Mr. Pollock took up the asylum investigation. Mr. N. W. Hardin, a Blease member of the general assembly, who was on the committee that unanimously exhonerated Dr. Saunders, asked Mr. Pollock: "Do you not know as a matter of fact, that Governor Blease asserted the innocence of Dr. Saunders all along?" Mr. Pollock replied that while that was true, the governor had nevertheless cast reflection on Dr. Saunders by insinuation and inuendo. Senator Smith made his usual speech along the line of his efforts in behalf of the farmer, and said that the farmers would again send him to the senate. Governor Blease made about the same speeth as heretofore, but was frequently interrupted by the antiBlease people. He talked back at the hecklers pretty vigorously, calling one of them a liar. The crowd at Spartanburg was almost as large as that of two years ago, and just as much of a Blease crowd. The Bleasites wore red badges, the first to appear in the present campaign. The meeting was held in the opera house and only a part of the tremendous crowd was able to get in. Senator Smith was the first speaker. He was very hoarse. His voice was almost gone when he was at Yorkville. He was still hoarse at Gaffney and at Spartanburg he could hardly make himself heard. As soon as he began to speak, the crowd began to guy him. Governor Blease begged for a hearing for the senator, but the crowd would not listen. Sena J V. woo onri r onfrrv O nrl Clhfllfin? 1U1 OlilUIl n<w? ?r? ,? ?..v. with wrath, he asked, "Is this an exhibition of the proud spirit of South Carolina?" There was a chorus of "Noes." Senator Smith was permitted to say a part of what he had to say, but between the interruptions and his broken voice, he soon gave it up. His closing declaration was: "The farmers will send Ed Smith back to the United States senate even if you do not allow him to make a single speech." Governor Blease was the next speaker. The crowd became quiet on his appearance, and listened to him with close attention while he made about the same speech he has been making elsewhere. After he left the stand, a large part of the crowd left also, and Messrs. Pollock and Jennings were free to say all they wanted to say.

Those who fail to put their full names on the club rolls on or before the last Tuesday in July, will not be allowed to vote in the primary. Why, if any secretary or member of enrollment committee, allows anybody to enroll except by signing his full name, the secretary or member of the enrollment committee so offending, should be held responsible. That is all. Demonstration Agent John R. Blair says that taking York county over, the stand of cotton is the poorest in twenty-seven years. A gentleman who was in Yorkville yesterday, says that he had passed over about four miles of the lower Hickory Grove and Sharon road during the morning, and estimates that he saw 250 acres of cotton land that did not have stand enough to give promise of fifty bales. "It may make more than' that," he said, "but it certainly don't look like It now." PROGRESS OF ENROLLMENT With a view to getting information as to the progress of enrollment throughout the county, The Enquirer on yesterday sent out letters to various club officials asking for the figures up to July 4 or 8.

RED MEN'S PICNIC Because of overhanpinp clouds which threatened rain in the early morninp, and which continued a menace during the day, the picnic given by Big Chief Tribe No. 61, Improved Order Red Men, in the Ancona mill pasture. Yorkville, last Saturday, was not so large as it would have been otherwise; but nevertheless, the occasion was pleasant and enjoyable. The crowd was made up largely f the people from the mills, farmers from the surrounding country, a number of Yorkville people, the local Red Men and visiting Red Men from Rock Hill, Clover, Lockhart, Chester, Shelby, c.astonia and other surrounding points. By eleven o'clock, the crowd numbered from live to six hundred, and in the afternoon it was swelled to eight hundred or a thousand. Because of unforseen demands on his time in Spartanburg. Solicitor Hill, the Great Sachem of the state, was forced to cancel his engagement to sneak, and Mr. Max G. Rrvant of Rock Hill, Great Junior Sagamore, was too unwell to be present. The only speaker left on the programme was Mayor J. C. Wilborn of Yorkville. who not expecting to make a regular address, made a few remarks on Redmanship. The sporting features of the day included foot races and baseball. The ladies' race, in which there were half a dozen entries, and much interest, was won by Miss Linnie Bennett of the Xeel.v mill. The prize was a gold ring. The winner of the men's foot race was William Hunt, and in the boy's foot race Hope Cook and George Ferguson tied for first place and divided the prize. There were two games of baseball between the Ancona and Xeely mill teams, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Both were won by the Xeelv mill, the first by a score >f 4 to 2, and the second by a score ?f fi to 2. The big crowd put in the day en Joying: the sports and in pleasant social intercourse. There were no sigrns of liquor on the grrounds and no disorder of any kind. I-ate in the evening, the Red Men repaired to their hall in the Stroup building, and with the assistance of the very efficient degree team from Rock Hill, took the scalps off of a dozen palefaces, who had been on the waiting list for several weeks. The gross proceeds from the sale of refreshments on the grounds during the day was something over $100. and practically all of this amount will he required to pay the expenses. The Tirzah band furnished excellent music during the day. WITHIN THE TOWN ? There are too many dogs, and they have become a nuisance. ? The candidates for state offices will speak in Yorkville on Thursday, August 6. ? Most of the business people, with the exception of the express and postoffices and the banks, did business as usual on the Fourth. ? The Chester baseball team, which was defeated by the Yorkville team on Thursday, turned the tables on the Yorkville team, Friday, and won by a score of 9 to 0. ? Mr. W. E. Ferguson has rented the room now being used by the First National bank, and will move his store into it as soon as practicable after the bank gets into its new building. ? Yorkville was in darkness for severa' hours last night because of the terrific storm between the town and the dam. Rock Hill and Clover were also in the dark. ? There was a severe electrical storm over Yorkville, last night. A limb was torn from a large elm opposite the express office on South Congress street, and the lightning struck at other points in town. ?Chief Love, on last Sunday, arrested the negro porter on the C. & N.-W. for selling newspapers, and the negro was required to put up a bond of J5 for his appearance. Agent Summitt went before the mayor yesterday and it is the understanding that if the mayor does not see fit to refund the bond, the railroad people will demand a trial of the case before a jury. ? Yorkville Lodge, No. 146, IndencnHont Orrlor t\f Orlfl UVllnWA hplfl its semi-annual election, last Friday ni.ght, and chose officers for the next six months as follows: R. P. Jackson, noble grand: G. P. Clark, vice grand; D. W. Thomasson, secretary; M. W. Beach, treasurer; Rev. Henry Stokes, chaplin; Ross Boyd, warden; H. H. Brown, inside guardian; Walter Hudson, outside guardian; C. M. Wood, R. S. N. G.: Leonard Boyd, L. S. X. G.; J. M. Hunter, R. S. V. G.; Wm. Ashe, L. S. N. G. ? The dog question has gotten serious in Yorkville again. This is a question that is always more or less disturbing to a large number of people. There are people who are against the dogs and people who are for the dogs. From time to time the people who are opposed to too many dogs unite and demand that something be done to relieve the situation. The town council sometimes acts one way and sometimes acts another. The method for years past has been to impose a capitation tax, giving out collars as evidence of payment thereof. All other dogs have a price set on their head. This meets with the approval of most people who are opposed to dogs, and riles a good many dog owners. Most owners of dogs feel that dogs?especially their dogs?should be free. Some are willing to pay the tax on their dogs to secure protection against other dogs, and other people think their dogs should be allowed to run free, while other people's dogs should be taxed. The dog tax has been enforced with reasonable effectiveness for several yean; but of late the dog ordinance has been allowed to become quiescent. As the result, the town is being overrun by dogs. During the winter most owners of dogs keep their pets around them. There is more or less hunting, and the dogs are useful for that purpose. During the summer there is no hunting, and neglected by their owners, many of the dogs from the surrounding country come to town and make their living. They lay around the back yards, kitchens, slop tubs, henneries and othAf r?lonau Ufhoru thov Pfi n finH TTlOrP OT less to eat, giving untold annoyance to the good housewives and other people who find it inconvenient to leave her nests, slops and other things unexposed. In this season of open doors, too, the dogs frequently get into cook rooms and kitchens. There are few families in town that are not more or less annoyed by dogs?other people's dogs, and there are a large number of people who think there should be some relief. Also, there is more or less concern about hydrophobia, with so many stray dogs about?so many dogs that claim no masters and cannot be identified?it is easy to see how, if a rabid dog runs amuck in the town, it may be a matter of considerable trouble to clean up after them. Then, again, quite a number of people may find themselves taking treatment as a preventative against hydrophobia. The situation is indeed one of concern; but as to where the remedy is, if there is a remedy, probably remains for development.

Mr. Morgan Leech, formerly of i Hickory Grove, but for the past three i years a resident of Arizona, returned home yesterday morning on account of the serious illness of his father, Mr. G. C.

If there are any good crops along the 1 route, he says, he did not see them. 1 His stay at home will be governed by ' circumstances, lie is accompanied by his little boy. DESTRUCTION BY HAIL Thousands of acres of crops in the eastern part of the county were devastated by a terrific hail storm that burst over that section last night between 8 and 9 o'clock. Because of the interruption of telephone connections, it has been impracticable to get definite information as to the full extent of the storm; but a reasonably accurate statement is to the effect that the starting point was beyond Dallas, in Gaston county, N. C. The path of the storm was from three to live miles in width, and it extended l down to a point between Tirzah and Newport and from there on to Rock Hill. Messrs. R. B., T. H., Joseph and R. S. Riddle, and people for nearly two miles west of them are in the path of the storm, and also Mr. R, J. Davis and others over toward Catawba river and from there on down southward through the county between Tirzah church and Rock Hill. A repreaeuiiin ve ui j. utr U114UHC1 who was in Rock Hall last night when the storm came up says that a heavy black cloud that seemed to envelop the entire territory, was preceded by crashing thunder and sharp flashes of lightning, along with wind that amounted to something like a hurricane. Then came a downpour of rain, and the rattling of hail. This was a little before 9 o'clock. He went into the train, and every other sound was drowned by the rattling of the hailstones on the roof of the car. The train left Rock Hill during the height of the storm. Outside was complete darkness, broken only by flashes of lightning which came in quick succession, and which lit up the outside sufficiently to disclose the downpour. At Ebenezer the lightning flashes disclosed a landscape that looked like a sea of ice, and the engine literally plowed its way through the hailstones, which are still in evidence today. Reports have come to The Enquirer that the farms of Messrs. M. A. McFarland. S. T. and Wm. Ferguson, to the south-west of Yorkviile have suffered serimislv Thev were in the Dath of what appears to have been a separate cloud, the damage from which extended over a strip a half mile wide and about three miles long. There was a good rain about Sharon; but inquiry over the telephone this morning was that there had been no reports there from damage by hail anywhere in the vicinity. After the above was put In type, Mr. Albert Riddle of Zeno, came into The Enquirer office from his home and in addition to those already mentioned, gave us the following off-hand list of people whom he understood to have sustained heavy damage: T. E. Brandon, Dr. T. N. Dulin, Will Jenkins, Eugene Sifford, W. R. J. Stanton, Dr. L. L. Campbell, Brainerd Currence, R. E. L. Ferguson, J. D. Brandon. Wade Pursley, Reece Patrick, Joseph Brandon. N. D. Glenn, W. H. Glenn. Frank Harrison. While Mr. Riddle is reasonably certain that all the territory in a strip on down and beyond Newport, must have suffered, he has no definite Information beyond that stated. He says he saw many hailstones that were fully an inch in diameter, and in numerous places the hail was drifted into piles from which it could be gathered by the bucket full. Cotton is beaten down until there is little or no sign of the stalks beyond stripped stems, and corn is cut down and beaten into the ground in a way that gives no hope of recovery. Hon. L. R. Williams, probate judge, was among those who went down from Yorkville to Ebenezer this morning to look over the situation. He says the devastation is simply appaling. The damage extends from Tirzah church on a short distance east of Rock Hill, the weight of the storm being about from W. J. Miller's to Ebenezer church, something over a mile. His understanding was that the crops were ruined throughout the wide belt extending beyond the North Carolina line; as far as Gastonia; but how far to the south he was unable to learn. He saw drifts of hail that were easily knee deep, and people said that many of the drifts were from three to four feet deep. One negro said that he had seen drifts as deep as a horse. Among the people who are damaged are T. B. Glenn, W. J. Miller, Eugene Garrison, Messrs. J. W. Simril, John F. WilHams, Ed Steele and all the people living in Ebenezer. LOCAL LACONICS Supervisors of Registration. The county board of registration met in Yorkville yesterday and had the busiest day of the year.

Housemover Stearnes, of Charlotte, came over from Charlotte today to begin work moving the county home building, so as to make way for the erection of the new structure, the erection of which is to be commenced at once. Fire at Guthriesville. Mr. W. R. Bell's barn at Guthriesville, was set on fire by lighning between 9 and 10 o'clock last night. The loss included the building, several hundred bushels of oats, some cotton seed and other feed stuffs. The loss is close to $500, with some insurance, but not nearly enough to cover the damages. Heavy Washing Rains. There was an unusually heavy rain over the territory between McConrtfOluvillo nnH Tir^ah last Satl!~daV night. That section had been very dry until a week previous; but had had several showers before Saturday. The rain of Saturday night did more or less damage to all the cultivated lands, breaking up terraces, carrying away bridges and overflowing the bottoms. The Motor Cycle Races. Mr. John J. McCarter of Filbert, who has charge of the motor cycle races to be held on the "Filbert spur" on the occasion of the Filbert picnic, says he is trying to make it a state-wide affair. It is understood that the event is to be open to all comers, the only restriction being that entries are to be confined to stock machines. No regular racing machines will be allowed. Poor Prospect for a Crop. A gentleman from Guthriesville told The Enquirer yesterday that there is a ten acre patch near there which last year made a bale of cotton to the acre, and which this year, has absolutely nothing. It is red land and was planted as usual; but there was no season and the seed failed to come up. The balance of the field, some fifteen acres ni sanuy tanu, is snowing up very nicely. There are other patches of very poor stands in the vicinity of Guthriesville, and old corn is generally poor. Death of Mrs. J. A. N. Glenn. Mrs. Fannie Glenn, wife of Mr. J. A. N. Glenn, died quite suddenly at her home near Bethel church last Friday morning at 5 o'clock. She had been complaining slightly for a day or two, but there was no alarm on the part of the family as to her condition until a short time before the end came. The cause of death is thought to have been heart trouble. The deceased was a daughter of the late D. J. Glenn, Sr.. and was not quite fifty years of age. She is survived by her husband and six children, as follows. Messrs. C. H., 1 and David Glenn; Misses Blanche, Margaret, Louise and Sarah Glenn.

McMurray, and attended by many relatives and friends of the family and people of the neighborhood generally. Had Mr. Pollock Stumped. Mr. J. B. Wood of Clover, gave Mr. W. P. Pollock quite an uneasy time last Thursday for a little while. In a quiet, respectful manner, Mr. Wood began asking the speaker certain questions about the rules, especially the why of special provisions at Charleston. Mr. Pollock assumed at the beginning that the questioner was hostile and sought to evade and put him off after the usual style; but Mr. Wood held to the point, with the rules in his hand, and Mr. Pollock finally got out of the scrape by confessing that he was not familiar with the rules. There was no heckling about the matter; but just a straight forward exposure of the speaker's ignorance of what he was trying to talk about. Negro Row at Filbert. The negroes had a Fourth of July picnic at Filbert last Saturday, and it broke up In a row during which Mervin Miller cut Gary Good's throat. It appears that there was a considerable quantity of liquor in the crowd and this was the cause of the trouble. Coca-cola bottles, stones and sticks flew around promiscuously for a while, and several negroes were hurt. Miller was arrested, nnea ten aouars, ana sei at liberty. As soon as Sheriff Brown heard of the affair, he telephoned to have Miller re-arrested; but some of the negroes hearing the message, gave Miller a tip and he ran away. Gary Good was cut quite seriously, but his wound is not expected to prove fatal. The sheriff will investigate the matter thoroughly. Governor Biease at Clover. Dr. I. J. Campbell of Clover, was in Yorkville last Saturday. He said that there was a tremendous crowd out Thursday evening to hear Governor Biease. The opera house, which is said to hold five hundred people, was packed full and many were unable to get in. There were quite a number of ladies out also. The governor spoke for something over half an hour, during which he discussed the recent state convention, made up of delegates from packed county conventions, and he also scored the regulations for voting, which he said, were framed up in the hope of keeping his friends from voting for him. The governor was in the house of his friends and the applause was continuous. After the meeting he was taken across to Gaffney in an automobile. Boy Scout Relay Race.

He said he had tried to perform his duty fearlessly and fairly. He said he had made an honest effort to collect the old property belonging to the government, and ^ he had turned It in. Hie said he did not know there was any more here until he got to Darlington, and he had been after .that company commander to turn It in. and If he hadn't done so it was the company commander's fault, and not his.

Mr. Smith denied that charge.
