Our own weather has been bad enough but in China they are having a reign of terror. It now looks like a renomi nation for Taft in June and a crushing defeat by Champ Clark in November. So slow are the candidates in this county in announcing that it may be necessary to conscript a few to start the ball rolling. Mexico's attitude towards citizens of the United States is evidently to be the means of that country's losing its most valuable and energetic residents. We notice in the Union Times the names of 36 men who are seeking office. In York county not a man has yet asked the people through the papers to vote for him. Report has it that if the ladies of Gold Hill were allowed to take part in the elections next fall r* A..A..MAW DlnnoA HTAlllrl PD/ifiivD UUVCTUUI JJICCU5C n uuiu i an overwhelming majority of the votes from that section of the township. A farmer tells The Times to advise his brother farmers against getting in a hurry and plowing their lands while too wet. This farmer says he has been farming for 30 years and has never known the wet weather to continue so long that there was not time left to make a crop. The greatest trouble seems to be in the making of too large crops. Announcement is made through the papers that Hon. Thos. F. McDow, of Yorkville, will be in the race for the State senate this summer. Mr. McDow is a lawyer of ability and has served the county to good purpose in the lower house of the legislature. He has many friends throughout the county and will be given strong support in his race for the senate. ~ It is noted in one of our exchanges that a carnival company is to begin a week's engagement in a neighboring town within a few days. Fort Mill has had pnnciHprahlp PYnpripnpp in the past with such shows and it is the hope of this paper that should this or any other carnival company apply for license to exhibit here this year the privilege will be promptly refused. Two of the representatives from York county in the General Assembly of 1913 should be from the eastern section of the county, and there should be a showdown as to which section furnishes the senator. The good people of Catawba and Fort Mill townships should get busy and put out two good men for the lower house and we believe they will be elected. As for a candidate for senator from Eastern York, Rock Hill, we believe, can furnish the man. His name is John T. | Roddey. "If The State newspaper will quit abusing Governor Blease and gi ve the people a chance to follow ! their own judgment, he will doubtless be defeated at the1 election in August, but if it shall keep on abusing him and trying to drive the Democratic voters of the State to think as it does, ; he will be re-elected." This is what a vounc man said on one of the street cars here yesterday and admitted that he had voted for Blease at the last election, not because he liked him or trusted in him, but because The State was against him; not a very good reason, we should say, but satisfactory to this voter.?Charlotte Observer. How We Voted in 1910. The Times has been requested to publish the vote for governor ! in 1910 in York county and Fort Mill. The figures below are taken from The Times of dates just following the elections two years ago: FIRST PRIMARY. County Fort Mill Vote. Vote Cole. L. Blease 1173 139 John T. Duncan 26 1 C. C. Featherstone 1092 60 F. H. Hyatt 112 6 T. G. McLeod 763 58 J. G. Richards 265 43 SECOND PRIMARY. Cole L. Blease 1670 179 C. C. Featherstone 1738 89 . ? County Politics. The news that Representative Thomas F. McDow of Yorkville, would be a candidate for State * senator did not create any sur- J prise in Rock Hill. In fact a J large number of people who were I acquainted with the political situation had been expecting the announcement for some time. ? However, the announcement that Mr. McDow will be in the race c will doubtless cause the poli- j ticians of the county to get busy. * The friends of Mayor John T. Roddey have been urging him to ? enter the race and while he has J declared that he did not want the ' job it is understood that strong pressure will be brought to bear ^ with the hope of getting him to alter his decision and become a candidate. In case Mayor Roddey can be persuaeed to enter < the campaign and oppose Mr. j McDow a merry race will result. * Mr. McDow is well known over J the county and is well up in the 1 art of politics. Mr. Roddey states that he knows nothing of politics. However, he is one of the most popular men in the j county and the fact that he was I a candidate would go a long way J J rp?J.*:? *?. 1 I lowuru oustaung iui. iuii/um o r abilities as a campaigner. As yet no one has announced for the jJ offices of representatives, but it is expected that several who have ; ( their eyes on the job will soon ' make the fact known to their J friends and public announcement ( is expected at any time.?Rock ? Hill Herald. Home News From Abroad. The following from the Col- ( ur.ibia correspondence of the j News and Courier will prove j interesting to Fort Mill people < and others who are in touch with ( the political situation in York ( county: , Governor Blease opened his ] campaign for re-election in the | upper border of the State, when j he addressed the school children < at Goldville, in York County, near Fort Mill, last week. He also < sooke to the people of Fort Mill . at their school house. Fort Mill , was formerly a strong Blease | place, but the fight which some j of the York delegation made on j the Governor in the recent Legislature is said to have swung , people who formerly favored the Governor in an around Fort Mill , to the other side. York County gave a small ma- , jority against Governor Blease j in 1910, and both the Blease and j Anti-Blease factions are working , hard to get the majority of York ( fnnv w*o I lllld I line.

After a long, cold and boister- c ous winter, we are now having t some sane weather, but the ] ground is still too wet to plow, t and the farmers are certainly in J a hole. i Messrs. Pink Wilson and Gru- t der Epps are building a new 1 ginhouse. "Their" Governor came up to j Gold Hill the past week and ? made a beautiful address to the j patrons and children of Prof. ' Boyd's scnopl. He didn't touch 8 nn nnlitirs hut. from an artrnmpnt we heard between two persons of color from North Carolina, ( we are satisfied they will vote! i for their governor. "Uncle" Rob said: "Dat dare governor is one of the best governors in the Newnited States, 'cos he done gine and turned all dem no 'count niggers outen jail what \ hadent done nuffin' no how, an' 1 he want dem to git some fresh I ] air, an' he done went an' say dat j j all dem editors am liars, too."'( Here the other darkey spoke up j l and said: "No, their governor ; dident say dat, but he done went i ] an' say all dem liars was editors." |, So, we are satisfied that their i governor will get at least two 1 votes from N.

One day last week the editor if Farmers' Review was discussing the political outlook with a number of voters some miles south of the courthouse. Among ither things spoken of was parions that Governor Blease had made, and someone said he had heard that the Governor had made promises of immunity from i punishment in the event of their conviction to people before they ?-?*:aA Tho npiutjnanpr man stated his utter unbelief that anything of the kind had been done, and gave little thought to the seriousness of the assertion. However, he heard the same rumor repeated some five miles further on, and asked for a more specific statement as to when, where and to. whom such immunity had been promised. He was told that there was a well defined rumor in circulation that Governor Blease had told Mr. Leroy B. Tute n that in the 2vent of his conviction for murder last fall a pardon would be granted him. Now, that looked too serious to lightly pass over, even though not the slighiest belief in the truth of it was entertained. If it was not true it was equally unjust to Governor Blease and to those interested in the defense and in the prosecution of Mr. Tuten. ofol" iinnn ratiirnififr tn , iaiuiuuiai/^ij upuu ivi/ui 111115 W Hampton, the editor wrote Governor Blease in regard to the rumor, and asked if there was any truth in it. His reply is emphatic, both as to this case and to any charge of considering the exercise of executive clemency except after the presentation of the facts in regard to the case in proper form and the mature consideration of their merits. Governor Blease's reply is as follows: The report that I promised Roy Tuten a pardon is an absolute wilful, malicious and unfounded falsehood. I know nothing of his case, have never discussed it with any one that I have any recollection of and most assuredly did not promise him or any other man a parion before his trial, neither have I ever promised any man a pardon until after the papers were properly presented to ne and given consideration.
