Know How to Swim.
Some days ago we read of the death,
by drowing, of n promising Columbia 1
lad who, with a party of playmates, !1
had gone in bathing in a mill ]>on?i anil
being unable to swim lost his life when j
he stepped into water beyond his !
depth. Hail he only known how to j
swim! Doubtless this thought, has '
rome to the bereaved parents ami
friends of the boy a thousand times I
since his death, and the accident refninds
us that it is a duty we owe our '
boys and girls, too to teach them to
swim. Many a valuable ljfe has gone 1
nut by the failure of parents and others t
to heed this sensible advice. Swiptming |
js not only an accomplishment which :
all should wish to acquire, being the j
source of pleasant, healthful recreation, i
but js often the meaps whereby life is j
saved. The people of this immediate
,section are fortunate in living near a
stream which could easily be used for
this purpose, but the opportunities'
which it plFora, strange to say, are j
seldom taken advantage of. In some !
foreign countries swimming is a part j
?>t the training of the children and they |
enjoy the sport and the assurance of
it. In this country, however, learning'
to swim largely is a go-as-you-plea.se
boy's sport, and if the boy didn't get
drowned before be had learned how to i
awitp it is a \yonder. Hut of late years '1
ipuny boys' summer camps and the'
Y. M. C. A. camps of the cities have!
pad competent instructors and the urt |
of swimming has been taught far years j
ii) city natatoriums; hut the proportion j
of American boys and girls who know j
how to swim is very small and should j
he largely increased. To have children ;
taught by competent instructors how 1
to swim is most important. Swimming j
is easily acquired and to l>e once u
pwimmep is to be always a swimmer.
The Coining of the Boll Weevil.
If the statement of John P. Slatterly,
agent of the national agricultural department,
who is conducting the ex- j
perimental station at (Ireenville, Miss.,
under government apspjges, with the
view of finding a substitute crop for ;
p ?tton ip the hoU weevil districts, is to
he credited, it will be eight years or |
pnore hefope the weevil reaches South ;
Carolina, and then, according to Mr. !
flattery, the be ll weevil will not thrive
iri this section as it has in the Southwest,
because of the different conditions
attending the cultivation and j
growth of the plant. It is pointed out
that in this ??xtiun the cotton plant ,
docs not grow so tall, is not us thick in i
foliage, and with Jess shade and protection
from the sun is apt to lose
/jorpe of its terrors. At first blush this
yvfll be pleasing information to the
farmers and others interested in the
growth of co]tton in this section, but
the fact still stares one in the face that
Mr. Slatte.ry's statements do not pos- '
Bess the element of certainty which
would be more encouraging. Inasmuch
as the busy little boll weevil hasnotyct ,
set up for business in this section, it is ,
little more than guess work to say that
the havoc which he has wrought in I
Texas and Louisiana will not be repeated
here. As a matter of fact, cot- ;
ton grows as luxuriantly on the rich
Piedmont and Pee Dee lands of South ;
/Carolina as it does in any section of
the country save the Mississippi delta,
and there is, therefore, no reason to
await the certain arrival of the
boll weevil with equanimity. Ho is
headed for the eastern seclion of the
/cotton belt and his arrival is certain. '
The damage he will do will run into the
millions. Meanwhile it would be the !
part of wisdom for our farmers to east
about for a substitute crop for cotton.
The action of the board of school
trustees in changing locations for the
pew s/chooj building cannot be construed
as representing the will of anything
near a majority of its patrons or
.the taxpayers of tjie district, and after
discussing the matter with numbers of
jour people, The Timf.s does not believe
that one oat .of live of the patrons of
1 % -- ? ...
t-uc stnuoj are picaseu with the change. 1
Jf it wvfc impossible, as claimed by
.those who engineered the change, to
met a suitable building on the Meach- <
am lot with the funds in hand, we '
earnestly believe that a vote for additional
bonds would have been much
preferred to the placing of the build- 1
jng on the ajl byt isolated swamp lot
which has been selected. In fact, it is ! '
the opinion of TjIE TlMl>S that had the
voters the least idea in the beginning
that the building you Id go to the sec- '
tion of town where the present school
is located, the election on the bond
issue would have l,ost out overwhelmingly.
The board has certainly acted contrary
to the wishes of the pt ople, and '
jt is yet hoped that something may
turn up whereby a more suitable loca- ,
libn may be had- ?
Chester Preparing for Reunion.
Probably r.o town which has entertained
the Confederate Veterans' reunion
had considered expense as little
in preparing for the pleasure and cornfort
of the old soldiers and the thousands
of other visitors who are expected
hn Mt toriH tViia i-Milninn in !
' JVM4 " * v?"v" V/'.VUWX-I j
next Wednesday and Thursday as has i
the "Queen City of the Hills." Not
the least attract.ve feature of the re- 1
union will be n drill by a company of
Confederate cavalry, which is expected
to prove interesting to both the veterans
and younger generation. The
orator of the occasion will be the ?
gifted president of Limestone Female
College, Dr. Lee Davis Lodge. Concerning
the electric illumination for the
reunion, the following has been pre- '
pared for the press by the chairman of
the entertainment committee:
"Perhaps the most elaborate display
r>f electricity ever attempted in this
State will be given in this city during
the reunion of the Confederate veterans
to be held here on the 22nd and 23rd of
this month. Certainly no city of the
size of this one has ever attempted
such an undertaking. The Southern
Power Company will turn on its current
here on the 15th of this month and will
carry an enormous load for those two j
[lays at least. The decorations will not
be limited to the business parts of the ,
city by any means, hut will be scattered
all over the city.
"The public square will, of course,
be the most elaborately lighted, but
the other streets, residence and other- .
wise, will also receive their share of i
attention. Already the workmen have
strung over 500 lights around the sides
of the square and four long beautiful t
festoons run from the top of the Confederate
monument to the corners, I
while the whole is surmounted by a
Confederate tlag.
"Down the sides of the hill the lights
will be carried on both sidewalks to the
depots, while at intervals beautiful
arches will be strung across the street.
In the residence portions ?f the town
there have been hung 21 additional arc
lights, and between them there will be
arches of the incandescent lights. So
that every street will be as Wight us
day. At the depots large electric signs
of 'Wi>lmm?' u ill 1... ,1.... .1., J WU-.

deixds themselves elaborately ornamented
with lights. A long string of i
lights will aiso run from the tower of 1
the city hall, about 75 feet, to the foot :
of it, while over the fire department
there will be a huge sign *C. F. L>.,'
holding 150 lights.
"Down at the mammoth pavilion
which is being erected for the accommodation
of the meetings and the hall,
there will be thousands more. The en- j
tire street, Walnut, will be illuminated
from end to end with arcs and incan- !
descents on sides and across it, and the
front of the pavilion will bear an enor- ,
mous sign containing several hundred J
lights. The porches will be outlined,
roof and sides, while inside the building
there will be over 600 lights.
"In addition to the elaborate electrical
display, every business house in
the city will be most elaborately decorated
with hunting, flags, pictures of
Confederate heroes, etc. The entire
fronts of the buildings will be draped i
from end to end, while large flags and I
small flags will he interspersed with j
wreaths, stars and numerous other |
things. Nearly uvery home, too, will J
be a mass of color, of bunting and flags, !
and tin- depots and everything will be
dressed up for the occasion.
"As a fitting climax to all this decoration,
the interiors of homes, stores
and everything will be beautified. The
interior and exterior of the pavilion
will be draped and ornamented and the
club rooms, where the reception to the
sponsors and maids is to be held, will
also be arranged in an attractive manner
with potted and cut flowers in addition
to the other decorations."
The Anti-Cigarette Law.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of South Carolina desires to kt ep
before dealers in ?igarettes, tobacco,
etc., the State law as to the sale of
these commodities nnd nnrl Hue rom,. ni.,1
the newspapers to publish the law
which follows:
Sec. 320. It shall not be lawful for
anjfc perron cr pt rsons, either by himself
or themselves, to sell, furnish,
give or provide any miner or miners,
under the age of 18 years with cigarettes,
tobacco, or cigarette paper, or
any substitute therefor.
Any person or persons violating the
provisions of the preceding section,
either in person, by agent, or in any
other way shall be held or deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon ind ctment
and conviction then for shall be
punished by u fine not exceeding one
hundred dollars, nor less than twentyfive
dollars, or by imprisonment for
less than two months, or hoth in the
discretion of the court; one-half of the
fine imposed to be paid to the informer
of the offense, and the other half
to be paid to the treasurer of the
county in which such conviction shall
be had.
It will be observed that the terms
of the act are very comprehensive. No
one, bj agent or otherwise, is allowed
to sell, furnish or give a minor under
18 years "cigarettes, tobacco, or cigarette
paper, or any substitute there- i
for," and a heavy penalty is provided
for every violation of the statute.
Low Rate to Seattle, Wash.
The Southern Railway has made an
attractive rate to those w'ro contem- '
plate attending the Alaska-Yukon-Pa- ,
eitic Exposition during the present summer.
From Charlotte the exceptionally low !
rate of $84.75 for the round trip has
been offered. This allows the trip over
one route and return by another, provided
the direct routes are taken. For ;
an additional charge of $15 one may
have the privilege of going or returning
via. California. The rate is effective
all through the summer, tickets being
on sale until September 2it. with a return
limit extending through the month
of October.
Several attractive routes can be
taken from Charlotte, the most direct
route being via. Asheviile to St. Louis,
from St. l.ouis via. Hillings. Mont.,
and Denver, Col., to Seattle.

THE SOUTHERN POWER COMPANY
After 5 Years' Development is the
Greatest Hydro-Electric System in
the South.
In five yaars there has been built up <
along the CatawUa river in North and ]
South Carolina the greatest hydro-elec- j
trie system in the South, says a writer
in the Electrical Review,
With the Itoeky Creek plant just
started the Southern Rower Company
Ituu u fv.???/ien " ' ? -* * - - * ? ' A- 41
u ?,< iirinuM); inimi.'iij' 111 iui inree |
water-driven stations of f>4,600 kilo*
watts, or 78,800 electric horse-power.
These plants are all three in South Carolina
and about 32 miles in their greatest
distance apart. Just South of the
North Carolina line comes the the Ca- j
tawba plant, some 20 miles down-stream :
is the Great Falls station, and three !
miles below this latter point is the i
development just completed at Kocky
Creek.
The Catawba plant begnn to operate
in March, 1904, and in September, 1906,
it had a peak load of 10,000 horsepower
with a generator capacity of
6,600 kilowatts, of 8,800 horse-power
at normal rating. Within one-and-one :
half years after the starting of the !
Catawba plant, that is in September, |
1905, work began on the development j
at Great Falls, and was completed in i
March, 1907, giving a construction !
period of about eighteen months for |
this hydro-electric station of 24,0001
kilowatts generator capacity. Within
a year aftct the development of the i
Great Falls site was under way, that
is, in August, 1906, clearing began at
Kocky Creek, and the completion of
this latter plant in April of the present j
year gives it a construction period of
about two-and-two-thirds years, but
this reduces to two years since the
masonry work was started.
beginning with the Catawba plant in
Marc h, 1901, and coming to April, 1909,
a space of thirty-seven months, these !
three hydro-electric stations, with a j
combined capacity of 54,600 kilowatts,
h .ve gone into commission along some
02 miles of the Catawba. More than
this, within the past year construction
has been started at wnat is known as i
the Ninety-nine Island plant, near ;
Blacksburg, S. C., on the Broad river,
where it is proposed to install six
generators of 3,000 kilowatts each, a
total of 18,000 kilowatts, or 24,000 i
electric horsepower. The date for the
completion of this fourth development j
iv< tlVl'H in Klin on,I ; ...111 ?
- j ??"V? ?' ?? ?* Kivt:
the Southern Power Company a combined
capacity of 72,600 kilowatts, or i
06,800 electric horsepower in waterdriven
generators. Such a record of
aggregate capacity at several diiTerent j
stations in a single system all com- j
pie ted in a period of six years lias
probably never been equaled anywhere
else.
For the connection of the above
generating stations with each other
and with the chain of citiec, villages
and manufacturing plants that stretch
from Rock Hill and Yorkville, S. C.,
on the south, to Salisbury and Statesville,
N. C., on the north, nearly 800
miles of tower lines and pole lines j
have been built, with a much greater .
length of transmission circuits. The
double circuits .of steel towers connect
the generating plants at Rocky
Creek, Great Falls and Catawba, and
run to Chariot to, Concord and Salisbury.
Originally these transmission circuits
were operated at 44,000 volts, but prol
vision was made for doubling this
i voltage to 88,000 when desired, and it
I is understood that this increase has
j been put into effc -t on the double trunk j
line that eolinect* the generating sta- j
tions and larger cities.
1 At the Catawba station, which was |
l designed before the present ownership i
| began, the current is delivered at j
I about 11,000 volts and is transmitted!
; to some points only a few miles dis- |
tant at tnis figure, but the generators
at this station are also connected with I
the 44,000 volt line through thu%e trans- !
j formers of 2.000 kilowatts each, so as j
i to operate in parallel with the other !
t plants.
The Great Falls and Rocky Creek !
plants are equipped with 2.200 volt j
' generators and with transformers that j
1 raise this pressure to 44,000 volts for j
transmission.
! In the distribution of energy from 1
the various substations to the manu
faeturing plants and lighting stations |
that are supplied, a voltage of 650 is i
j employed at some points and 2,300 at i
1 outers. The great bulk of the energy <
i is used by cotton mills, and the voltage i
; of distribution is largely determined
' by that of their motors.
During the first year _or two in :
; which the transmission system was
j operated the tendency of the mills was
j to use 550-volt motors, but more rej
cently the practice has been more general
to adopt 2,300-volt motors where
| the sizes made it practicable.
Found Body in Sewer Excavation. j
The dead body of F. M. Moore, n
1 white man who mysteriously disap- !
peared from the fair grounds in Char- j
lotte the night of May 20, 1902, was
unearthed Friday by workmen exca- i
1 vating for a sewer extension in Dil- ;
worth, a suburb of Charlotte. Moore j
; it was stated had quarreled with a
stranger at the fair grounds the night
j of his disappearance and was supposed ]
' to have been mnrdered and the body j
! bidden. Personal effects were found |
but no clue to the body nor trace of the !
| missing man was discovered until Friday.
The sewer was open at the time
of Moore's disappearance and the police
think that he may have fallen in it
while intoxicated. Moore left a wife
and two children. The remains were
turned over to the family for burial. !

Thursday, winning two games. The i
first game w;us taken from Rock Hill, j
while Charlotte was culled upon second
to surrender like honors to the locals. I
The game with Rock Hill was a slow
exhibition and but for one or two plays
by the locals the game would have i
boon featureless. Score 6 to2; bat- '
terios, Brown and I'oag for Rock Hill, |
Ardrcy and Ferguson for Fort Mill.
The game with Charlotte, barring the
almost continuous "kicking" upon the
umpire's decisions by Manager Fite of '
the Charlotte club, was a much better
exhibition. The score was Fort Mill
7, Charlotte 2. The batteries were:
Thompson and Spong for Charlotte,
1'rice and Ferguson for Fort Mill.

Mrs. L. D. Childs in the

juiry. "What aie thd D. A. R. doing '

for being au Important looking c
body of women, is the object of the assoelutlon?"
i would like to mention ,
that lor one thins they are separating
the descendants of the men who were (
the backbone oT the country, who suf- 1
fored the hardships of tlio pioneer and
the brand of being called traitors to '
their country, from those who have !
come over more recently, some who j
may be coming over now In emigrant | .
ships, who have not borne even the | I
sorrows brought on by the War <
llctwecti "the Sections. and twlio
can never feel the tires of patriotism
kindled within them with- ,
out this Inheritance. And now u | 1
has grown to be a patriotic duty as i
well as privilege for every woman who I ,
has the right to Join one of these or- | ]
ganlzutions to keep separate and dis- :
tinct the descendants of mere repre- !
sentatlve characters. The lnlluei-.ee of |
these women Is now being felt in every j
corner of these I'tilted States?from |
the A'lantlc to the l'acitic, and even to.
Alaska.
I'pon hearing of an old deserted i
revolutionary tcruvoynrd the writer lie- ]
came very much Interested. being one 1
of these Investigators, ufter the Ills- j
turic. Boarding the train not long stnec j
she arrived at this small South lairo- 1
Una town early one morning. While
waiting tor breakfast at' the Inn. I
standing on the piuxzn, slie accosted a '
man witli workman's tools passing by
to inquire of him something about tiie
old graveyard nearby, lie immediately
became Interested and imparted
much infoi maiioti in connection with
it. He was engaged to aecompaaV myself
and friend in a carriage to the
place to arrange for some work to lie
done. We drove tor a mile through the
most beautifully shaded road, bordered j
by virgin forests, great tail timber j
sheltering us on tl.e way. grand and ,
magnificent trees that must have stood
ti.ere as sentinels when the funerals of
these departed spit its took their tliglit
100 or more years ago.
Suddenly out' driver stopped and we
looked around us before we realized
where we were. The woods were so
dense we could not have even passed
a second rehtble in the road, it was so
narrow; and we were still in the heart
of the forest. Then we observed a I
stone wall of about four feet in height, |
built of rough stones piled up. Beyond j
this we saw through the trees grave- j
stones scattered among them, grown
dark with age. We wended our way i
in. now on foot, to lliul ourselves In )
the most peculiar surroundings. This
stone wall Inclosed a space of an acre |
square. The trees had grown up so I
dense that It would seem that the 1
rays of the sun hud not penetrated
for years and years. Vines were mat- I
ted underfoot, and we were frequently ,
warned by our guides to beware ol |
snakes, as they were numerous, for i
they alone had wandered undisturbed
through these haunts, varied occasionally
by a hunter who would run u rabbit
down sometimes and lodge him
in the devices of the rock wall. Then
tic would he captured by breaking down
u section ol the wall, which we found
here ami there all around.
YVe had gone through In a creeping
posture, while lighting briars overhead
and vines underneath until we
began to litid the names of the silent
dwellers of tills place and then we forgot
our bodily discomforts. The inscriptions
had grown so dim by time
and weather that we would gather j
leaves for scrubbing brushes and with i
vigorous energy we managed to clean i
off enough weather stains to decipher |
tiie meaning. Some wore written In :
"ye olden time" and hard to read for
that reason, too.
Hut think of tiie joy of llnding the
names of one's own people. To make
connecting links w itii historical matters
that we lutd so often read of?it i
was like finding some long-lost tre.is- ;
tiro. There were those whose lives we
Ijad so often heard stories told of in
our early youth, of funny anecdotes
and of tender childhood and of brave
deeds of valor; all these crowded toKcther
Into my brain and 1 telt I must
l.iosh nwny the i obwebs, both front
the outside as well as Inside. The trees
were growing right up out of the middle
of the graves, the tombstones were
being jostled out of place by the
crowding of the roots and branches,
the vines were climbing up over ail,
connecting them In festoons.
The relatives and friends of these,
people must be scattered tar and wide.
A younger generation or two have
crown up since they were buried. Perhaps
they do not even know about the
place or the names ,.f those lying there.
So with pencil and paper 1 began to
take down the names I found on the
tombstones, and dates of the deaths.
Perhaps some one would like to know
about tliern and be Interested. There]
is a movement on foot now to restore
the graveyard to a proper condition. A
committee la at work and orders have
already been given lor some work to
be done.
There Is also the beginning of a
chapter of 1). A. it. lieing formed in
this little town. Port Mill, and their
special work Is always to look after
and commemorate historic spots and
search for such things us are connected
with the Revolutionary war. Arid
now that the good roads movement Is
on foot and automobiles can span distances
at such a rate that time and
space are being obliterated, this plan
might he made one <hut would draw
sight-seers from many directions some
day. We of the South do not value or '
appreciate enough the means and op- >
portuultics we might have. Wo hope
the public, the IV A. It. and the town
of Port Mill will help to hold up the
hands of the struggling few who are
trying to accomplish something for
this laudable purpose.
This place Is called by the village
people the Revolutionary graveyard;

'orkviile Enquirer,
What this State really and truly
iceds is two parties - two separate and
listinct parties -each having a flag and j
lag bearers, and each standing for extctly

There are many imitations of DeWitt's
^arbolised Witch Hazel Salve? Do
Witt's is the original. Be sure you
jet DeWitt's Carbolized Witch Hazel
Salve when you ask for it. It is good
for cuts, burns and bruises, and is es- '
pecially good for Piles. Sold by ArIrey's
drug store.
A detective counterfoil ?in nntmnal 1
bank noli', bearing the jxirtrait of Win. j
McKinley, has been discovered and the |
secret service is endeavering to trace
its origin. The counterfeit is viewed !
by the officials as one designed with I
great cleverness. The note is on the I (
Citizens' Central National Hank of New
York city, of the series of 190*2, and |
apparently is printed from lithograph
plates or. two pieces of paper, between
which silk threads have been distrib- I
uted.
Sometimes you may be told that there
are other things just as good as DeWitt's
Kidney and Hladder Pills. That isn't
so. Nothing made is as good as DeWitt's
Kidney and Bladder Pills for
any ailrnens of the kidney or bladder,
which always result in weak back,
backache, rheumatic pains, rheumatism
and urinary disorders. A trial of De- j
Witt's Kidney and Hladder Pills is i
sufficient to convince you how good they
are. Send your name to E. C. DeWitt j
& Co., Chicago, for a free trial box. }
They are sold here by Ardrey's drug I
store.
