MONDAY THE COLDEST DAY H
N ON RECORD FOR JUNE 9
The coldest weather ever recorded
in June in the Middle
Atlantic and New England i
States, the Ohio Valley and the
Great Lakes region was reported i
Monday to the National weather
bureau. The Gulf States were
the only ones east of the Rockies
to escape an unseasonable drop.
A "high barometirc pressure of
great magnitude" is the official
reason. Frosts were reported in
Vermont, central New York,
New England, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.
The present coo! weather is, !
of course, causing great anxiety
among the farmers of this sec-1
tion, and they do not hesitate to
express their alarm. Just how
disastrous the cool spell will be
to the cotton crop can not be told
until a change comes in weather
conditions. It now seems certain
that the crop will be greatly retarded
by the cold rains of the
last few days. In many places
the cotton has not been thinned
out and the grass has made as
much progress as the infantile
stalks. However, if the cool
spell is followed by warm nights
and sunshine, weather conducive
to rapid stirring of the ground,
the injury to the crop may be
offset to some degree.
Whiskey Men on the Alert.
The recent decision of the State
supreme court, followed by the
action of Governor Blease in removing
all State constables from
office, has emboldened the various
liquor houses of the country to
1 wage an effective campaign for
j business, and it is the custom
nowadays for the average citizen
to find in his morning's mail
! a large, fat envelope, stuffed
; with all kinds of attractive lithoj
graphs and missives extolling
I the virtue of some particular
! hranH nf whiulrrnr
But the limit in this line was
reached when a prominent pen- ,
tleman, noted for his sobriety
and other virtues, exhibited to a
reporter a letter from a leading
Louisville whiskey house. Accompanying
the letter, in the!
same envelope, was a circular, I
flaming scare-head type, with
the following for a starter: "The j
supreme court of South Carolina 1
1 has decided and ruled you can .
order and get your whiskey.
Order now," etc.
And still another enclosure in i
this letter is a printed statement |
in facsimile of a newspaper clipping,
under an Anderson date
line announcing: "Gov. Blease
Discharges All State Constables.
? Anderson Mail.
Rock Hill's Alfalfa Club.
Rock Hill is being placed on
the map in a new way, says The I
State. It has an Alfalfa Grow- 5
trs association and farmers by
the score are growing alfalfa.
One grower, J. M. Cherry, has
68 acres and holds the distinc.
tion of being the largest alfalfa
grower in South "Carolina. He
1 is Drenarinf ti? nl^nt- 7ft 1
! more this lall and incidentally
he is president of the association.
The alfalfa association was organized
December 7, 1912, and
has 90 members, all of whom
have an acre or more of alfalfa
growing, or have agreed to plant
this fall. The association has
lor its object the promotion of
! alfalfa growing around Hock
Hill. It purposes to accomplish
this by teaching the farmers how
to grow it, to cooperate in buy,
ing ground limestone and seed
and when more than the local
demand lor hay is supplied, to
organize a selling agency which
j will dispose of the hay for its
members.

SHORT ITEMS of INTEREST
to TIMES READERS.
Born Saturday to Mr. and Mrs.
J. J. Bailes, a daughter.
Saturday was one of the best <
trade days Fort Mill has had for
several months, according to the
statement of one of the merchants.
Dr. S. E. Massey, of Bramwell,
W. Va., arrived Saturday morning
for a visit to his parents, I
ivir. ana Mrs. B. Henry Massey,
in this city.
Miss Julia Boyd has returned

B. Ardrey in this city.
Catawba Lodge No. 56, A. F.
M., will hold its regular monthly
meeting in the lodge room this

Mrs. Jennie Spratt and two
daughters, Misses Margaret and
Mary, arrived the last week from
Thorsbv, Ala., for a visit to relatives
in the city and vicinity.
The fruit crop in Fort Mill and
vicinity is well nigh a failure
this year. There are some apples,
peaches, etc., but the fruit is
small and unsound and little is
being brought to the local market.
The little 6-months-old daughter
of Policeman and Mrs. J. J.
Coltharp died at the home of its I
pat ents in Sprattville, and was'
buried Saturday at Flint Ilill
cemetery, after services hv Rev.

Parties liable to road duty,
should not overlook the fact that >
the time for the payment of commutation
tax expires on July 1.
Those who fail to pay the tax
on or before that date will serve ;

Friends of Capt. J. A. Allison,
the popular Southern Railway
conductor, will be interested to
know that he has resumed his
"run" between Cearlotte and
Columbia, after having been in
Sanfofd, Fla.,- sine*1 last fall, re- l
covering from the effects of an
accident he had on the road.
Captain Allison has been on the
Charlotte-Columbia run for 36
vears.
Report has it that in the event
Judge Geo. W. Gage, of Chester,

succeed Justice C. A. Woods, who i
has been appointed United States !
judge, the nan e of C. W. F. !
Spencer, of Rock Hill, will be j
put forward by his friends as j
Judge Gage's successor. Mr. \
Spencer is a son of C. E. Spencer,
of Yorkville, and one of the
county's best known young at- i
torneys. i
An exchange points out the i
fact that under the Webb law if j
the Legislature will pass the re- i
quisitelaws we can hav^ mighty |
near sure enough pfrohbition. j
The construction of the Webb j
law is that if the Legislature
chooses it may enact a law which \
will prohibit the shipment of \
whiskov from nthor I

Edgar Jones, of Fort Mill, I
narrowly escaped what might |
have been a serious accident a \
few eveuings ago wlien one of i
the front wheels of his auto- j
mobile ran ulT the axle at a point
just this side of the Charlotte 5
incorporate limit. The machine j
was running at a low rate of j
speed when the accident occurred j
and the only damage was to the j
axle, which plowed along in the
road for several yards. 1'
LAW IS DISCRIMINATORY
SAYS JAP REJOINDER
Japan's rejoinder to the United
States reply to her protest
against the California anti-alien
land law, delivered personally by
Ambassador Chin da to Secretary
Bryan, Thursday sets out why
the Tokio government continues
to regard the Webb law as discriminatory
against Japanese in
derogation of the qualities of
treatment prescribed by inter
national law and a violation of
the treaty of 1911.
The Japanese note was very
long and iis nature entirely
augmentative. Secretary Bryan
and Ambassador Chinda were in
accord that no good purpose
could he served at this time by
a discussion of the question and
therefore both officials gave notice
that any attempt to publish
what might purport to be even
the substance of the three communications
which now have
passed between the governments j
must be based entirely upon I
speculation. It is known, how- j
ever, that the whole tone of the!
rejoinder is that of a dignified
and orderly presentation of I
Japan's view on the case, concluding
with an invitation toj
further negotiations. Nothing in
the nature of an ultimatum is
contained in the note.
The Baseball "Fan."
If you are interested in thei
popular American game of base- '
ball no doubt you have read many |
columns of "dope" about the star j
players. But there is one individual,
or rather a class of indi-j
viduals, you seldom hear about
that are very necessary to the i
success of the game from a pro-1
fessional standpoint. These are
the "fans" who help to make the
game interesting for the spectator
and often miserable for the
players. On another page of thi*
issue you will find a good story of
"fans" as they have been ob-j

NEW PARCEL POST LAW
BECOMES EFFECTIVE JULY 1
The "C. O. I). '' feature of the
parcel post goes into effect July
1. next. Instructions thereon are
now being mailed to postmasters.
It is believed that this feature
will popularize parcel post. A
farmer from his home can fill an
order, say, for potatoes, mailed
to him by the city housekeeper.
The post service will transport
and deliver the produce in the
city, collect for it and hand the
remittance to the shipper.
The city merchant can (ill the
order of the farmer for a pair of
shoes. The post service will
ship and deliver the goods, collect
the bill and put the remittance
in the hands of the merchant,
thus putting in position
those merchants in the city who
advertise to do cash business
with the country districts and
putting in position those producers
in the country who advertise
to do cash business with city
housewives and dealers.
This "C. O. D." is put into
effect by the post office department
order No. 0888, dated
February 27, 1913.
Dark Horse for Governor?
The Columbia Record savs that
from submerged political sources
there comes the information that
a "dark horse" from the Piedmont
will be in the race for
governor in 11)14 whose political
influence is considered great and
far-reaching. He is a man who
catne into political life and prominence
during the Tillman upheaval
in 181)0 and has been a
recognized figure in the public
life of the State since the days
of the "reform movement" that
placed K R. Tillman in the
governor's chair. He has continuously
held public offices of
trust .and power since that
on morable political epoch.
The man himself has made no
public announcement of bis candidacy,
but it is understood that
he will piobably be in the race.
His influence and political alignment
is such that he will be a
formidable opponent.
