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.

have decided to run the
summer school next summer for
six weeks and let that work
count on a regular degree from
Winthrop.
The Times will not attempt to
say which of the local gardeners
holds the record this year for the
finest tomatoes, but does not
hesitate to state that the tomato
crop of Fort Mill this summer
equals, if it does not surpass,
that of any that has ever been
grown here. 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.
