The rain began falling about 6:30 n the morning and it rained very ; lard and constantly until about ten: )'clock and continued raining during j learly the entire day. A good many years ago, before j the culvert under the railroad was j enlarged, we remember that the water got up into the garden at the ( jail and in the houses just below. | This time it was in the houses all; along Harrington street beyond the ; jail west and the inmates had to ! move out. We are told that there j was a man sick in bed in one of the j bouses and the water came near up j to the bed in which he was. It was all over the bridges on College and Vincent streets and over the corn, Dn the bottoms. We do not know j the rainfall, but is was certainly the j hardest rain we have had in New-' berry in many years. The south prong of Scott's creek j was also out of the banks and over i the bridge at the knitting mill prop-1 *rty and the bottoms all around. Mr. j C. R. Wise had just started the day j before to cut the hay in the bottoms j above the bridge, and it was all ruin- ! 2d or washed away. He says he lost j some $200 or $300 worth of hay. Mr. E. Lee Hays and Mr. John R. Perdue say that the rain was very leavy out toward the Saluda river. Mr. Hayes says the heaviest rain he las ever known since he has been ( ivinor nnt that side. And the rain extended all ilie way I :o Columbia, though we understand toward Greenville and on to Hendersonville the rain was not so heavy. Mr. G. W. Summers' car came through from Hendersonville that iay and the rain was light along the mountain side. Wednesday and Thursday th? sun nroes chininor llll V. though On " '""""f) J 7 O? Thursday there are some clouds iround. The temperature Tuesday night was rather low and heavier clothing was not uncomfortable. Tt may be ;hat we got a touch of the storm that svas said to be coming west from the seas. For Cheaper Bread. Leslie's. With estimates pointing to the bigjest wheat crop the country has ever lad, one-third practically of the vorld's croD. there should be no ques ion about cheaper wheat and bread lext year. We shall be able to feed >urselves and the world and still lave a surplus, but it is a question vhether the consumer will reap any )enefits from over-production. Farmsrs have had a taste of government >rice-fixing and they like it. There :an be no doubt they will ask the government to fix a high price for vheat, and if this is conceded, high >rices will be demanded for everyhing else produced on the farm rom corn to cotton. When an ablormal price is fixed for a basic comnodity, like wheat, it is an excuse for nflated prices on everything. Peo >le are getting tired of this sort of >aternalism. Let the government ake its hands off. Let the law of upply and demand be operative >nce more. Sooner or later this has rot to be. Somebody may lose money n the process of readjustment, but .s it is, everybody is groaning under , he excessive cost of practically verything that goes on the table. ,he public wants to know how soon t is going to be able to buy flour for srhat it is really worth and bread at , fcs price before the war. Believe It or Not. The following is from a recent is- < ae of the Winnsboro News and Herld. Those who believe it can do so; hose who do not believe it can also o so: Just seven years ago, the temporry-editor of this paper was camaigning for office and stopped at ?ob Lewis' house in Longtown. It eing hot, he took off his vest, in! rhich he had a fine watch, and laying t on a fence in the back yard, a calf hewed up a pocket of the garment ontaining the watch. Last week J )r. Pollock was called to see a sick ow down there. It turned out to >e the same calf and the time piece ?as found in such position between he lungs that the respiration?the losing in and the filling of the lungs ?kept the stem winder wound up ' ind the watch had lost but one hour : t n seven years. , The watch was removed by Dr. i 5ollock and the cow is doing well. ! ? ? -* * 1 Philanthropist?i?iy guuu ieuuw, iow do you happen to be lying in the | rutter?

The Associate Reformed Presb>-; terian synod last May inaugurated a ' forward movement along all lines of j work. One of the objectives is to j raise a quarter of a million dollars j for education and missions. This j will provide $75,000 for the estab-! lishment of a new college in the j West to be known as Bryson college. This college will be located at Fay-j etteville, Tenn., and has a splendid plant with which to begin work, j Rev. H. B. Blakely, who has been in charge of the Lethe school, is the president of the new college. The Woman's college of Due West will receive $100,000. Erskine college and the home and foreign mission hoards will share in the fund. Rev. J. W. Carson of Newberry is chairman of the committee, and it will be seen that he has a big job on his hands. The campaign week will be November 2-9. A preparatory camr?oiorn r>f nrorpr pnlistment and ?/<**?.?. ?... J J ~ - 7 stewardship will precede the November campaign. The Associate Reformed Presbyterian goes out this week to every home in the synod. The movement will be formally launched at Linwood conferencc August 19-24 THE COTTON ASSOCIATION HAS CALLED MEETING To Be Held in the Court House on Friday to Form County Association?Every Farmer Urged to Be Present. \ To the People of Newberry County: AAnfitol A'f f lin \T OTIf? J lie ICllUdi tVillUIIllCC UX 1/lXVr berry Cotton association has called a mass meeting to be held in the court house at 11 o'clock on Friday, the 3 5th instant. Every person interested in the common welfare is invited and urged to attend, especially each member of the township committees. The purpose of this meeting is to inaugurate a systematic and permanent organization of the Cotton association as an integral part of the state and national associations. A short time ago the minimum price fixed by the American Cotton association was reached. Due to the loyalty of the people *to the association. Spinners could not obtain sufficient cotton without paying the price. When it was reached, an abundant temporary supply was sold. The spinners then practically with drew from the market, and the price has declined about twenty-five dollars per bale. The minimum price of 35 cents does not represent the full value of middling cotton based upon sales of the manufactured product. Upon that basis it is worth nearer 60 cents per pound. The disparity between its value and the price we obtain has been due to the lack of selfprotection. because we have yot heref-rt-P/wia ho/-! on nrvarliza fcion. We now have able and good men at the head of the cotton association. The work they have done has saved millions of dollars to the cotton producers. Their work has been patriotic and self-sacrificing, and it is now going on with accelerated enthusiasm; for they see ahead a glorious future for the South. It is due to ourselves that we give them full support by forming a systematic, permanent organization. The sup ;? j 1--j. : porc we received last spring nvm cm. classes of our citizens assures us they realize that it is a matter of the common welfare. They are all eligible to membership. We hope that every one will be present on the 15th. Mr. ?. F. McLeod, state organizer, has premised to be with us on that day, an.I f ;I1 information as to the details of the organization can be obtained. Jos. L. Ke:t'?, Temporary Chairman. Parr! of Thanks.
