A report Pas Deen circuiaiei [ on the streets during the lasi few days to the effect that th< State campaign party probablj I will hold a meeting in Rock Hil ' the night of Tuesday, August 6 . The candidates for the State of I fices are to be in Lancaster or the 6th and at Yorkville on th< , 7th, and report has it that ar ; rangements are making to hav< the party go up to Rock Hil from Lancaster in the late after ' noon and hold a meeting at night * If the meeting is held man: " voters who can not attend th< J county meeting at Yorkville wil ' be enabled to hear the candi J dates speak. * Doubtless there are a numbe , of young men in Fort Mill town 3 ship who have become of votinj - age since the last primary elec t tion, and if such there be, it i - to be hoped that each one wi , see to it that his name is er s rolled on the Democratic clu j roll before the time of enrol ment expires. It is not to be doubted also that in Fort Mill there are men who were not residents of the town or county two years ago, but who are now entitled to vote in the August primary, and these, too, should see that their names are at once entered on the club lists. The Fort Mill club roll is in the hands of J. R. Haile, at the Fort Mill Drug company, and he will be pleased to enroll all who are eligible and apply to him. The club roll will be closed after August 22. The summer school at Winthrop College closed Thursday after a pleasant and profitable month's work.

It is not uncommon to see exhibited on the streets clusters of tomatoes weighingfrom four to six pounds and it is stated that one of the gardeners has shown a single tomato that weighed very nearly two pounds. Anyway, for size, ; smoothnees and flavor, Fort Mill tomatoes this summer are unsurpassed by any that the writer has ever had the good fortune i to enjoy. State Warehouse Act Unconstitutional. The State Warehouse Commission Act was declared unconstitutional on last Friday by j the supreme court, in an opinion by Chief Justice Gary and concurred in by every justice sitting in the court. Associate Justice Woods did not sit in the case. The chief grounds on which the act is declared to be unconstitutional are that the action of | the legislature in providing for _r JOCA AAA ! an appropriation ui ^uw iui this commission is increasing the public debt and the constitution holds that before increasing the public debt, the' question must i be passed on by a two-thirds vote of the people in a general State election, and that it also provides for the issuing of receipts which is contrary to Section 7, Article 10, of the Constitution.
