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.

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.

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. |

No extension of time is allowed

NO ENCAMPMENT IN SIGHT
FOR STATE MILITIAMEN
After all, it seems now that ,
the South Carolina militia will
not be permitted to take part in
the camp manoeuvres to be held ,
at Augusta. 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.

Murder and Suicide.
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
