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.
