No. 112. Entered at the postofllce at Fort Mill. S. C.. as mall matter of the second class. THURSDAY. JULY 9. 1914. The Yorkville Enquirer adds nothing to its reputation for accuracy in enumerating Congressman Finley as one of "the more distingnished coat-tail swingers who are still high in public positions." People who are acquainted with Mr. Finley's 1 1 1 __ aI A 1 political record Know tnat ne never was a coat-tail swinger of anybody's. The Enquirer, we presume, would create the impression that in the early '90s Mr. Finley was one of the so-called Reformers who accepted as orthodox everything Ben Tillman said and did?in an effort to justify the attitude of some of its latter-day friends in swinging to coat-tails in the present campaign. We can see nothing disreputable in a candidate saying that he is a friend of the leader of the faction of the party with which he prefers to align himself; but it ought not to be necessary for a newspaper which evidently thinks coat-tail swinging discreditable in seeking an excuse for its friends to state that this or that public man at one time found it expedient to adopt a like course when the facts do not support the statement. There was much in Senator Tillman's administration as Governor which Mr. Finley did not indorse. For one thing he refused absolutely to be a party to the defeat of Gen. Hampton for the Senate, and as a member of the General Assembly voted on every l>allot for the great Confederate leader. It would seem that The Enquirer would assemble its facts with a little more care. Great Damage From Hail. Rock Hill and vicinity was visited Monday night by a hail and windstorm which played havoc with the growing- crops, wrecked a number of outbuildings and killed sixteen head of cattle that were caught in the falling buildings. The storm came on about 9 o'clock at night and continued for nearly an hour. * Many chickens and birds were killed and in places drifts of hailstones were several feet in depth. A half-acre flat on the Brown McFadden farm at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning. 13 hours after the storm, was! covered to a depth of four feet, j while hundreds of people who! went to see the sight reported gullies in the same neighborhood to have been filled to a depth of 1 from eight to 14 feet. On the farm of R. S. Fewell I six of his cattle were killed and their bodies literally buried under the ice. Ten or twelve of dohn T. Roddey's cattle were killed. Frilit was nil knrtf?k?rl frntn i trees in the devastated area, gardens were ruined and what was left of the cotton and corn stalks could scarcely be recognized as such. Beginning just south of Rock Hill, the storm continued at its height to G. L. Suggs' farm near Nannie's Mountain. ^ ^ ^ Rowdy Crowd at Spartanburg. When the candidates for the United States Senate spoke at Spartanburg Saturday, friends of Governor Blease made such an uproar when Senator Ellison D. Smith spoke that he could hardly be heard. Governor | Blease in vain begged them to give the Senator a respectful hearing. After the Governor had spoken he left the theatre and was followed by about onefourth of the audience. The remaining speakers. L. D. Jennings and W. P. Pollock, made an attack on the record of Governor Blease. The blood-red badges, which were worn by the Governor's supporters in the campaign two years ago, made their appearance in the meeting. Thousands of visitors were in the city. The York County Fair. The York County fair is heginning to look like the real thing. Fences are going up, a first-class race track is being built, with a base-ball. diamond in the tenter, buildings that have been planned for the exhibits will be begun on in a few days. and everywhere the chief topic of conversation is the fair. The farmers in York county are showing their interest by looking out for their end of the line getting exhibits ready, and ample room is being provided for the exhibits of the various departments. Competent men have been engaged to look after all of the exhibits and the indications are that they will be fine. The exhibits of live stock will be especially so. Horses from the neighboring counties of Chester and Lancaster are expected. And. speaking of horse racing, there will be at least two fine races each day, one open to the county horses only and one open to the horses from neighboring counties. The first day will be industrial day and will be started with a Marital parade with several bands. The second day will be farmers day with a big parade of the farmers. Friday will be educational day starting off with a monster oa rade of all the school children in the county. Prizes will be offered for the school having the best percentage of enrollment in the parade, best float and best line of march. The Rock Hill schools will participate in this parade, but will not compete for prizes as they are on the grounds. There will be prizes also in the Educational department for the best exhibit from any school, and beat work from various students from individual schools. It is especially hoped that all the schools in the county will take part in this. The amusements will be of the very highest order. There will be two areoplane flights daily, a balloon with three parachute drops, parachutes to be opened by booms. The Majestic (Universal Service) Thursday's Program.
