Millions for the Farmers. John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, at Washington, has estimated that about $500.000,0(H) in national banks throughout the United States is now available for farm mortgage loans under the provisions of the Federal Reserve Act, making \t possible for national banking associations to lend money on improved farm lands. Scores of inquiries have been sent the treasury department concerninir this nrovision nnd there does not seem to be a general understanding that the farm loan clause of the act is now in force, making it possible for national banks to make farm loans before the formal organization of the Federal reserve board. The estimate of Comptroller Williams is based on reports showing the capital stock and surplus of the national banks to be $1,777,000,000. Twenty-five per cent, of this amount, $444,000,000; is available for farm loans. Furthermore, the Federal reserve act provides that national banks may grant farm loans up to 33141 per cent, of their tune deposits. 4 v; . _ k 4 ".** > V HE F( Bicycle Relay Race.

Gaillard, who died i'rotn an illness aggravated by overwork on the Panama canal by naming Culebra cut after him was laid before President Wilson Monday by Repre j sentative Finley, of the Fifth district of South Carolina. Mr. i Finley presented to the President a resolution adopted by the Federation of Women's Clubs of South Carolina proposing the change. The South Carolina congressman said the suggestion had met with the hearty approval of the president. Mr. Finley also invited the president to attend the 150th anniversary of the founding of the town of Cheraw. S. C., on July 8. The president took the invitation under advisement. Fifth District Itinerary. County chairman of the several counties comprising the Fifth Congressional district of South T-Till 1 vtitwuiKi invi tii ivwu inn i i jua.v afternoon for the purpose of fixing the itinerary for the congressional candidates. The following dates on which the candidates will address the voters were announced: Chesterfield, .July 14; Camden. July 16: Lancaster July 18; Gaffney, July 21; Yorkville, July 23; Chester. July 25; Winnsboro, July 28. In addition to this the candidates can make any other individual speaking arrangement they see fit ! Enroll Now. Several weeks remain in which you may enroll as a member of a Democratic club. The hooks of j enrollment will not close until the last Tuesday in July. But despite the fact that you have plenty of time, it is a wise thing to enroll now. To put it otf from time to time may result in your failure to enroll, and therefore your loss of the privilege of casting a ballot in the primary, i You must go personally to the! place of enrollment and put your ; name on the books. Why not do this immediately, rather than! keep putting it otf? Compare Rolls With Poll List. It has been suggested to the ; proper authorities that they go over the elub roll books and compare the names enrolled to those intending to vote with the poll tax list and all those found not to be paying poll tax be reported to the sheriff, and he issue tax ; executions for every one. It is j understood that this will be done before election and no doubt will result in a good many paying poll tax who would otherwise be overlooked. Base Ball Catcher Killed. Saturday afternoon, while a colored team was playing hall at Pineville church, near the residence of Mr. R. M. Anderson, on the lower Rock Hill road, the pitcher, who is a strong thrower, threw a ball which struck the batsman a glancing blow and then struck the catcher in the temple and killed him instantly. , Of course the affair was purely i accidental ? York News. ? ? - - , ? > . ' - w .-y * r* ^ i nRT 1 A V JL J FORT MILL, S. C., THt Mr. W. F. Stevenson, Candidate For Congress. (Political Advertisement.) Will he be a man of influence if elected? We can only judge of the future by the past. He has' been classed by the people not! favorable to him as the most influential man in the House at1 Columbia. Will he not measure up to that in Washington? The Yorkville Enquirer, the strongest paper ?u its section, published in his opponent's home town, said of him in February, 1912: "I was impressed with the veneration and confidence with which the members looked up to this Mr. Stevenson. I gathered that when a man had a bill that he wanted to get through lie applied to Stevenson and if Stevenson promised his help it was alright." S?? he seems to be a practical man who can deal with his fellow meinneis so as to inspire litem wiin confidence anil accomplish his puri>oses. He is sometimes modest and on the occasion ot' the above editorial he modestly disclaimed such wide influence and thought it was a reflection on the House to attribute such power to one man. One of the daily newspapers editorially remarked lis to this episode: "Mr. Stevenson's position in the House of Representatives is no more and no less than will be that of every man of conspicuous native ability fortified by education and industry. He is a leader because be leads. Without setting him up as the foremost man of all the world or of the South Carolina General Assembly for that matter, it is the simple truth that he has few equals in that body and if he is a big force in South Carolina legislation. the explanation is that the momentum of brains and training counts. Any man of W. F. Stevenson's equipment would have recognition in any legislative body be it the Congress of the United States or any i other assemblage in which he may he placed." Why not give him the chance | to become such leader in Con- j gress? Alabama has first had the leadership. North Carolina is now taking it in the House and already has it in the Senate. Why can't the State of Calhoun, Hayne and McDuffie have it? Give him a trial. Watch the Stevenson column. * * Farm School Site Selected. The site for the Farm Life school, to he erected at Pineville. was permanently decided upon Monday night. The building will be located on Polk street, between the home of Mr. J. S. Miller and the Methodist church. A tract of land of 17 acres just back of the building site has been purchased from Mr. Miller and Mrs. Rone. The contract for the building was let some days ago to a Charlotte contractor and it is expected that construction work will commence at an early date. Try Alfalfa in Mecklenburg. Mr. Edgar R. Moore is going j to give alfalfa a good trial in Mecklenburg to see if it cannot be raised successfully in this county, says the Charlotte Ob- j server. Alfalfa is recognized J as one of the best crops for stock i feeding purposes and hence Mr. 1 Moore's interest. He also hopes ! to be able to demonstrate to the ! farmers of Mecklenburg that! alfalfa can be grown successfully ! and thereby assist them in jrettinjar started. He has stated that he would put in 20 acres in his Selwyn Farm and 2Tt in his river farm and that this acreage would j probably be increased. A card received by The Times j Wednesday morning from Rev. i Porter M. Bailes, of Louisville, Ky., announced that he was to have been married yesterday to Miss Sarah Burton, a Kentucky younpr woman. Mr. Bailes and bride will spend a week or two in the mountains of North Carolina, after which they will come to Fort Mill for a visit of several j weeks to relatives of the groom. | ' 1 4 * V ' \ ' " * V\ .

Ga.. this summer. A press dispatch Saturday from J Washington said that the invitation extended by the War Demcivfmonf fa r>l IV/ VIU>CIIIUI Dienst' OI South Carolina to have the organized nulitia of that State par- < ticipate in the manoeuvres to be held in Augusta next month, had < been withdrawn because of the i failure of the South Carolina 1 militia to meet the requirements :>f the Dick militia law as construed by the law officers of the department. The attention of Gov. Blease i some months ago was called by ; the war department to the short- | comings of the South Carolina ' militia in the mstter of missing h equipment and shortage of men ( in the various grades. The result was some spirited corres- i pondence between the Governor ( md the Secretary of War. Final- i ly Governor Blease undertook to meet the requirements of the department. Trouble later arose between the Governor and the Secretary < 3f War over the location of the | proposed joint encampment on the Isle of Palms, South Carolina. Secretary Garrison finally pre-emptorily transferred this :amp to Augusta, Ga. Since then reports from the inspection ifficers of the War Department iiave disclosed the fact that the \ South Carolina militia still is de- , ticient in the various matters j complained of originally and Sec- , retary Garrison therefore has j felt obliged to withdraw the l)e* ' partment's invitation to participate in the manoeuvre camp to be held in Augusta. ( So far South Carolina is the ( enly Southern State which will be excluded from the manoeu- . vres on this account.

Ernest Shpplv o on the plantation of Mr. .!. A. Barber, in Catawba township, killed his wife last Wednesday night, set his house or. tire and blew out his own brains with a shotgun. That was the appearance of things when the manager of the farm was attracted to the place by the burning building. Both bodies were lying where they had fallen, and there was no evidence to indicate any other theory than the one stated. The two had quarreled bitterly during Wednesday morning, and it is thought that the killing was the outcome of that quarrel. Will Issue Much New Money. With the establishment of the new federal reserve banks within a few weeks, millions of new paper money will he issued. The notes will be denominations nve. ten. twenty, fifty and hundred dollars. The five dollar bills will hear the portrait of Lincoln, the ten of Cleveland, twenty of .lackson. fifty of Grant, hundred of Franklin. Green ink will be used on the back and black on front. Commercial paper will be the collateral advanced by the various banks as security for the new money. It is expected all future paper money issues will conform with the type of the new money. Reason McLaurin Quit? It is well known that there lias been a break between Sena tor McLaurin and Gov. Blease. McLaurin hoped to get the loader ship of the Blease forces in the State, and had the promise the endorsement of the Blease leaders, but he discovered that he was not being given a square deal; that Blease was encouraging the other candidates for governor the same way. On account of this duplicity. Senator McLaurin is reported to have invited Gov. Blease to go to the ?ame place that Mr. Coleman lid. - Pee Dee Daily.
