Sen. Tillman left Friday fpt the Exposition City nnd the hVbfir members went Monday. The b oys were uninstruoted as to who to vote for, but, according to the belief of ninny, they will vote k olicliy for Mr. Parker. ' a ? One of the most important matters to be voted upon in the general election this fall will be the biennial sessiou question. The bill providing (or the same passed both Houses at. the last session, end wa6 submitted to the people for a constitutional amendment. It is the prediction of those who profess to follow these things that tlie'me&sure will ho defeated. The .people will also vote upon the mat* ter of allowing each county to inake its own road law, and on the privilege of allowing the city of <Treenvillo to issue a certain amount of bonds. . I ? * The Richland county executive committee requires an oath lruin the candidates that they will not give nor spend money nor use infftYir.fttinir liniinru fur Ilia tuirnrKO of influencing votes, and also that the candidates shall at the conclusion of the campaign and before the primary election render to the chairman of the democratic party of the county, under oath, an itemized statement of all moneys spent or provided by them during the campaign for campaign purposes. And it's dollars to doughnuts that some of the Kicblund delegation will spring something of the kind in the next legislature. The United States treasury dopartmant has issued a warning circular,' notifying everybody that there are-now iu circulation conn terfeit $5.00 silver certificate hills, of the L->sne series of 1890, Indian T -J * l? 1?e - ?. . i juenu, aihu uuuuierien ien dollar bote, letter "C" No. 105. There is little poobability that nny of the counterfeits will be detected by the average country newspaper publisher, for the bills come into bis possesssion so seldom that to glance upon one of the lovely wads, and realizing it as his own, hia eyes would become 60 moist with tears of gladness that lie would hardly think of counterfeits. W . . i V. There baa possibly never been in the history of the world a war so poorly reported as the RussoJapanese affair. The average man can't tell heads nor tails from reading tho daily Associated Press reports. He can't distinguish to save his life between the account of a fresh scrap and an amplified recital of one fought many days ugo. This condition is due less to 1 defects in modern journalism and the difficulty of obtaining the facta than to the rigid censorship practiced by the warring powers. A correapondent diehea up an intelligent report of a tight and starts it to his home paper, but it has to go through the hands of a censor with a big blue pencil before it reaches us, when it could doubtJess not be recognized by the man who wrote it. * 0 It is an astounding sight to be hold the intnHive faculty pos sessed by some men, and even newspapers, for getting on tho wrohj* 'aide of every controversy. We Taney that such people enjoy the notoriety of unpopularity. They never seem so happy as when hucRing against the inevitable ns * manifested in the consensus of the popular mind. They are evidently possessed, with the old delusion that tho majority is assuredly right, aftd that tlje smaller the minority ^h^ more virtue accruing to them in theiV contention.' When such a man ia once' spotted in the community, just find out' how he (^anda on any given question^ then go "in' diametrical opposition to /r?im Aiodyoii will hit the nail on j thti head nine times out of ten. The Supreme Court has lefused a new trial to Hoyt ITuves, the white man who was tried, con vie- , ted and sentenced to he handed in i Oconee county for the murder of I)is wife in April, 1903. In the appeal printed for the Supreme Court were several unusual exhibits. A picture of Hayes and his wife was shown, the note al- j leged to have been written by Mrs. Hayes just before she killed her-! self, as claimed by the defense, several pieces of p <otry written by Hayes and other such exhibits. This is probably the first time a picture of this kind has boon shown in a Supreme Court appeal. It is understood now that a peti tion for the commutation of sen- j teuco of life imprisonment will bo presented. Unless this is acted on favorably he will be hanged as soon as sentence is passed at the reconvening of court at Walhulla, which is the 11th of July. m * ? The Rock nill Record is con siderably wrought up, and right r..n.. ? ?i.- _?? 1 - > I lUliy SM?, UVfl I UC (ILUMIipi , 11 111" leges, of a party or parties in Yorkville to surpress or purlion the official minutes of the meeting of the Democratic executive committee Inst Saturday. It seems that when Chairman Brice umde order for the assessment schedule and campaign roster it could not be found, and, while The Record | does not charge directly that tliOj minutes had been "swiped" by a : representative of the Yorville Enquire, it makes a pretty strong in- | sinuation to that effect when it says, "Perhaps The Enquirer real ly didn't have the original millute$ of the meeting at the time, but we'll guarantee a good copy could be produced in that shop." If The Recoid is right in its accusations, the act was certainly a very discourteous one, but when the , editor of The Record has engaged , in York county journalism uh long as the writer, he will hardly he J surprised at such things. It takes all kinds of people, newspaper men included, to make up a world. a ? ? Today marks the opening of that great political pow wow?the Democratic national convention. Since the middle of the past week the "boss dogs" of the party have been pouring into St. Louis, nosing arcund. and making arrangements for the rironor entertMiiim??nt r>f I # - jr 1 *"*" tbeir lees important colleagues who trailed in later. J ust what the outcome of tho convention will be. or who will receive the nomination, is problematical. Parker - and Hearst are supposed to be more in favor than any of the other candidates, but, as one can come about, as near forecasting the result of a i political contest us to name the last day, these may be left out and a dark horse run in. There has been much tnlk recently of a probable landslide to Cleveland, but we do not look for it. Cleveland, it is claimed by some, is the only man the Democrats can put tip that would Btand a chance of elec- ! tion, that he would get more votes 1 from the opposing forces than any man in the Democratic party, and that he is the one ninn the Republicans fear. All of which may be true, and if so, it is probably from the fact that Urover Cleveland, himself, is just a little nearer a Republican than any other man yet spoken of for the place. We I would not attempt to say what the ' people of the entire South think I of C rover, but, as Senator Tillman has eaidj "there is a growing sentiment against Cleveland in South Carolina," and we believe that n majority of the voters of this State would rather vote the straight Re- | publican ticket than to vote for (Irover Cleveland. We anxiously await the announcement of the nomination of Judge Alton B. Parker. Campaign Assessments A meeting of the Democratic executive committee of the county, for the purpose of fixing the assessments of the candidates for the various offices, arranging a campaign roster, etc,, was held in Yorkville Saturday, Chairman J. S. Brice nreKirtincr Tim rr>r?nrf .>f , 0. V W, . the treasurer was read and approved, and the assessments of the candidates discussed with the result that the following schedule was adopted: For solicitor, $10; clerk of court, $25; sheriff, $15; congress, $15; State senator, $8; representatives to the house, $4; auditor, $10; treasurer, $10; supt. of education, $6; county supervisor, $0; coun ty commissioners, $1.50; coroner, $2.50; magistrates, ranging from $1.50 to $3.25. ' The time for paying assessments and signing the pledge closes on August 8tli at noon. The county campaign opens nt Harriet's mountain on August 9th and closes at Yorkville on August 27th. ' The schedule ?> county meetings will be the amine as two yeArs ago. ' 'Phone Connections After Aui 1st The Southern 13olI Telephone j and Telegraph Co. a few days ago J bought out the Charlottee Telephone Co. and the two systems nre now being consolidated. Mr S. L. Menehum, of the Fort Mill Telephone Co, iuforms us that after August 1st, the Bell people will allow no outside connections, such is Fort. Mi'l, Bock Ilill, Lancaster and other places have heretofore had through the Charlotte exchange, but it is his opinion that an opposing system will be gotten up in Charlotte at an early day and that the usual outside connections will be re-established. An Electric Power Canter. The region in which is located such manufacturing cities as Charlotte, N. C., Bock Hill, S. C? and Fort Mill, S. C., will soon be one' <>f the great centers in the United I Slates for electric power, says the ! Southern Field. The Catawba Pow- 1 er company's plant, which is now expeciou 10 ne in uso oy oepiember 1, will develop a total of 15.000 horse power. A little later the Four J C's company will construct a plant j on the Catawba river to develop 1 11,000 horso power. The Highland Park power plant, near Charlotte, now nearing completion, will have 2,000 horse power. These three! plants will give a total of over 30, , 050 horse power for uuuiiifacte.ring and other uses. A great deal of this power will eventually bo used to run cotton mills, arrangements , have already been made foi in , stalling power in several at Char-; lotte, Hack Hill and Fort Mil.. - -4 As to Beneficiary Scholarships. Heretofore students in Winthrop college who have won beneficiary scholarships have been admitted without question as to thoir alylity to pay tuition fees. This has all been changed. A rule adopted by the board of trustees now inquires that applicants for boneiici nry scholarships shnll show an inability to pay tuition, else lhe scholarships will not be awarded. tiitnr.J nil iniiutimi tinw lw.-ii 1 .. I done the poor girls of the State , on nccount of the fact that youi,g ladies whose purents were hettoi | able to prepare them for college I have been able to carry off the ; sholnrships. The rule now will ; give the girls of tho poorer class a i better opportunity to win. This is as it should ho, and we desire to commend tho board of turstees f< r their adoption of the rule. It will be rigidly enforced.? Iloek Hill llornld. Cotton Small But Healthy. Tho Government Weather Bureau's weekly summary of crop conditions says: "In most of the districts east of the Mississippi liver cotton has not made rapid progress and is generally small though healthy and well cultivated. Good, growth, however, is reported from Mississippi and portions of Alabama, and wiiiie lire are increased in tiio last named States, they are less numerous in Mississippi and South Carolina. WeBtot' the Mississippi river the advance of the crop has been more rapid, good growth boing generally reported, and while some of the cotton tields are foul in portions of Texas, Arkansas and Louisina, the crop in generally well cultivated. Port Arthur cn Ver*e of Surrender.

The boll worm?not the boll weevil?has been at work in this State.' Section Director Bauer, in bis crop report today, stated that there was a trace of the pest in some parts of the State. There has also been some alarm from the report from Newborry that the cotton there was being destroyed by something resembling the boll weevil. Section Director Bauer this morning stated that this was the boll worm which gets in its work every year in the State to a greater or less extent. His work, while destructive, is not as great as the weevil by tar.?Kecoru. Hot Weather Specialties. WOOD VIOLET TALCUM POWDER Is as fin*1 an article as ever seen in Fort Mill.
