J sbbsbxss " Everv Democrat in this coun try who has the best interests, I not only of his party but of the people of this country at heart, must admit that it is absolutely necessary for Democracy to make no mistake and to nominate the strongest man in the party in order to carry its banner to victory next November. There is not a man whose name is mentioned as Presidential candidate ? on the Democratic ticket who would not make a good president of the United States if elected. It is also true that not every man whose name is mentioned as a candidate, can be elected. Lots of men would make good presidents but poor candidates. It, therefore, behooves the Democratic party to make no mistake and name a man as a candidate who will make both a good votegetter as well ?.s a good president. _______ In Fort Mill there are said to be some people who have expressed a doubt as to whether city council could lawfully impose a special privilege tax upon individuals, companies and corporations doing business within the town. For the information of these, it may be stated that the question of imposing such a tax was threshed out in the courts some time ago in the case of Hill vs. the city council of Abbeville, in which the decision of the court was that the city had perfect authority in the matter, even to the extent of imposing the tax upon any certain class of business, so long as there was no discrimination. In view of the recent promiscous firing of shotguns and pistols inside the incorporate! ? Jmvte- oS Fort has been requested to say to the public chat there is both a State and city law against this practice, and that those who have been doing the shooting vvill probably find themselves in court one of these days if they do not desif.t. One citizen has offered j a standing reward of $5 for each per.jon canvicted of this violation of the law. The majority of the South Carolina delegation in the House is in favor of Speaker Champ Clark for the Democratic Presidential nomination and is in high spirits over the decided progress which his campaign has made within the past few days, says a Washington special to The News and Courier. ? Sees Defeat for Bond Issue. Rock Hill Herald. One of the bills enacted by the general assembly of interest to the people in York county was one with the following caption: "To provide for an election on the issue of $75,000 in coupon bonds by York county for the purpose of erecting a courthouse and to empower the board of county commissioners to condemn land for a site for the same." The bill provides that the voters of the county shall vote on the bond issue at the next election. However, while the bill was passed with the consent of the members in the lower house, it is understood that some of the members will oppose the measure when it comes before the people. There are a large number of people in the western portion of the county who are bitterly opposed to bonding the county for a new courthouse, when the present one can be made ample to meet the needs of the county by a small addition. As for the eastern half of the 1 --'II** ?>?nn id county, pracucaiiy cw-ij man 10 against the issue and it doubtless will be defeated by a large majority when the vote is finally taken. A Gcod Example. The town council of Fort Mill has let a contract for improving the main street of that town with a bitumen binder. This is a splendid example for other small towns like Rock Hill, Chester and York to follow. As for Gaffney?well, we'll get there bye and bye.?Gaffney Ledger. The fifth district convention of the old-line Republicans was held at Rock Hill Friday, and Maj. John F. .Tones, of Blacksburg, and C. P. T. White, of Rock Hill, were named as delegates to attend the national convention. President Taft's administratior was endorsed, and resolutions were passed endorsing J. W. Tolbert as State chairman. Much Damage by High Water. \ Reports from every section of J the county tell of swolen streams < and wrecked bridges as a result < of the very heavy rainfall ^ throughout this section Thursday I night and Friday, which, accord- 1 ing to the weather bureau at * Charlotte, exceeded six inches. I This was said to have been the '< heaviest rainfall for any 18 hours 1 for 19 years. In this vicinity Catawba river and the smaller streams came near reaching the highwater ( mark of 1901, and much damage ( in the way of wrecked bridges r resulted. Sugar and Steel creek | rose rapidly all day Friday and i Friday night and Saturday morn- ( ing were up to a mark reached t but few times in the last decade, j Doby's and Barber's bridges i across Sugar creek were swept ( away, as was also three bridges ( between Fort Mill and Pineville, including the White's mill bridge, i over Steele Creek, which was (rebuilt only about three weeks ( ago. Catawba river was on a j rampage, reaching the highest < point Saturday morning about i 6 o'clock. The stream was up | about 30 feet, lacking but little ( of reaching the point of the ? memorable flood of 1901. The j approaches to the county bridge j across the river were swept away j during Friday night, according 1 i to a report that reached Fort Mill Saturday morning. The; approach to the bridge from the Fort Mill side is something like 60 feet in length, while that of the opposite side of the stream is probably not more than 30 feet. The bridge proper was said to have been uninjured by the high water. The new county bridge across the Catawba at Ivey's mill is also said to have withstood the flood without injury. The floor, of the club house, on Catawba river, of the ( local military company was six I inches under water, but the j building was uninjured except ? for the steps and a small part of 1 one of the porches being swept ' away. The plant of the Char- 1 lotte Birck company was idle t Saturday on account of the flood- i ing of the river bottomlands I from which the clay is taken to [ the plant nearby.

Meacham, of this ^ city, was notified by telegram Thursday morning of the death at Chester Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock of her sister, Mrs. Mar- j garet McFadden. Mrs. Meacb- s am and son, W. B. Meacham, r attended the funeral service and < burial of Mrs. McFadden at f Chester Friday. Mrs. McFadden j had been in failing health for < some time, but the end which i was due to heart failure, came ' wririra sauuWnnesjr winch au'u's t much to the shock of her death, t Mrs. McFadden, who was born t in Chester county, January 26th, J 1841, was the daughter of W.

Mrs. McFadden was a lifelong member of the Baptist church, and in this, as well as in many ^ other activities, her death will { be keenly felt. s ? ? ? r Another Cotton Picker. A citizen of Manning is said to ] have invented a mechanical cot- j ton picker that will do the work < and that will be within the reach of farmers of moderate means. This picker is described as being built with the view of giving a machine that will meet the . need of the farmer, either large ] J or small. It is of simple con- ' struction, durable in every part, i easily operated, and costs a mere ; song to run. It consists of but I six parts, namely: Gasoline motor of 16 to 24 horse power, to i suit the size of the machine; a ' ' water tank for cooling the engine-may be dispensed with if . an air-cooled motor is used; fan to produce suction?a single 30 inch fan for the small machine, while for a six or eight pipe ma; chine a twin fan will be used to ! operate pipes from both sides of | the wagon; rubber hose or pipes, made of the best material, light and flexible, at the distal end of I ?u;/,u fV,o nnint or nicker \ WHICH IO HAtU 111V |'x,...v J. ; made of light gauge iron and fitted with the revolving needles that are driven by the ingoing suction, taking the lint from the i boll as clean as if hand picked; : receptacle for the cotton as it is : picked?may be either a box on top of the wagon or bags hung on hooks at the side, to be removed as fast as filled and oth! ere substituted; the wagon, with ! axles arched up so as to pass over the plants without injury.

The Overdraft Evil. An overdraft becomes an overiraft only when a paying teller ;ashes a check. Between the nan who drew the check and the person who presents it for payment, there may be a dozen enlorsements. The bank's refusal ;o cash would send the check >ackwards over its course and njure the reputation of the >riginal maker with every eniorser. Every overdraft on the bank s a wholly unsecured loan. The supreme court has ruled, quoting in part: "The usage and Dractice thus attempted to do sanctioned is a usage and prae:ice to misapply the funds of the Dank, and to connive at the withirawal of the same, without any security, in favor of certain privleged persons. Such a usage ind practice is surely a manifested departure from the duty, both of the directors and the cashier, as cannot receive any countenance in a court of justice, [t could not be supported by any /ote of the directors, however formal, and therefore, whenever lone by the cashier, is at his >wn peril and upon the responsibilities of himself and his sure;ies. It is anything but well and ;ruly executing his duties as cashier." Glorious News :omes from Dr. J. T. Curtiss, Dwight, Kan. He writes: "I not only have cured jad cases of eczema in my patient s with Electric Bitters. but also cured myself jy them of the same disease. I feel sur< :hey will benefit any case of eczema." rhis shows what thousands have proved. :hat Electric Bitters is a most effective :>lood purifier.
