Boyden Nims, chemist of Columbia, has succeeded in growing European grapes in his garden at his home, 914 Barnwell street, and is of the opinion that the grapes can be grown extensively in South Carolina. An election was held last Friday to decide the question as to whether or not the Hartsville school district should vote an increase of from 5 to 7 mills' tax for the benefit of the schools. The vote was almost unanimously in favor of the increase.

Sanders, who has been seriously sick in a Columbia hospital for some time, will be glad to learn that his condition has improved to such an extent as to permit him to return to his home at McConnellsville. ?

A gentleman of Rock Hill, whose 12-horse crop was almost completely destroyed by the hail storm, was in Yorkville this week in quest of Irish potatoes with which he intended to plant his devastated fields. He got only a few |K>tatoes here. A number of farmers in the hail stricken district are planting Irish potatoes, and if nothing prevents. York county will probably make the largest Irish potato crop in her history. According to several people who have recently traversed the Km) -A- ~ ? ^ _1 nuii oiui hi uirstrnrui Ul DCtnei, Catawba and Ebenezer townships, some of the cotton in the stricken territory appears to be making some headway. The leaves are growing on the damaged stalks, and if early frost does not kill the plants, a great deal of cotton will be made. In many places, however, there is as yet no sign of living vegetation even the trees and bushes being quite dead. Miss Mary Boyd is visiting her sister. Mrs. J. J. Stewart, in Gonover. N.

Money from the Federal treasury will be deposited in national banks throughout the country again this fall to facilitate the movement of crops and promote business generally. Secretary McAdoo has announced that he will put out approximately $34.(XK),000 and that he stands ready to increase the amount to any extent necessary to meet the country's needs. Ttio > iiv ovviciai J o ITMllllcllC U1 what will be needed is based on replies from 5,000 national banks to a recent treasury department circular asking whether any unusual demand for money was expected this year and for what purpose. Last year the department inaugurated the custom of distributing funds in the crophandling centers, depositing approximately $34,000,000 of the $50,000,000 that Seerytary McAdoo had decided to use for the purpose. Must Clean the Streams. The special attention of all land owners who have running streams of water through their lands, is called to the provisions of the drainage Law enacted by the last Legislature, and applying especially to the streams in York county. The law in brief requires all land owners and their agents in the county of York, between the 5th day of July and the 15th day of August in each year, to remove from the running streams ... _ i.1 ? 1 1 " Liieir ianas an trasn, trees, rafts, timber, snaps, overhangjng limbs and any other objects that obstruct the natural flow of the water, and any objects that tend to collect extraneous matter and cause rafts. If any land owner happens to be sick, or any unavoidable necessity arises and his township supervisor so recommends, the county eommissisnerscan give such land owner an extension of time to clean his stream beyond the l&th of August, j 1th?the Big Celebra Timi . r 5--Come Notes From Flint Hill Members of Congress who are standing; valiantly by the administration in the effort to complete its legislative program despite the approaching campaign, while admitting they are weary of legislative duties and anxious to get home to their districts, have resigned themselves to the conclusion that there is little hope of adjournment before fall. Both houses of Congress already are having trouble in rallying a quorum for the transaction of business, but the party whips are keeping constantly at work calling members back to Washington and .they hope to expedite what business remains as rapidly as possible. Sofne senators and representatives are permitted to go home from time to time to look after their political fences, but it is the aim of the Democratic leaders to keep a quorum present at all times from now on.

Norwood Offers Big Reward. A reward of $5,000 for the arrest and conviction of the man who eai!y Thursday shot Dr. .lames H. Mcintosh, well known physician of Columbia, was offered late Thursday by J. W. Norwood a Greenville banker. Citizens of Columbia launched a campaign to raise $1,000 for the arrest of the assailant, who is supposed to have escaped in an automobile. The shooting was the immediate subject for attacks on lawlessness in South Carolina by candidates for the United States Senate. Governor Blease in his speech expressed regret that Doctor Mcintosh had been the victim of such an attack. Doctor Mcintosh, was recently drawn into the Senatorial situation because of his opinion in a well known parole case. It was said Thursday night that he would recover. Adjournment This Fall. Times Correspondence. This section was visited by a very refreshing rain last Sabbath evening which greatly revived the suffering crops. We wish to correct the error made in the Cold Hill letter last week concerning our school. Instead of this being our first summer school, as was stated, in the letter mentioned above, last summer was the first summer we have not had a summer school for forty years. The school promises to be a great success under the management of Miss Bland, of Cooper, N. C. There aie now forty-six pupils on roll and we hope to increase our number within a short while. We will begin our new school building the second week in August and hope to have it completed in time for the fall term.

Do you know that Congress in the last two years has spent $352,000,000.00 on creeks and rivers and harbors? This has not helped the people of the Fifth district one penny. South Carolina's share of that money according to population would he $48,000,000.00. If they had put that on our post roads instead of in creeks and harbors and rivers every man in South Carolina would have a good read at hand. During that term our whole State government has cost only $20,000.00. We would have about two and a half times as much for our roads as it takes to run the whole State government, and instead of its being used to benefit our roads it has been dumped into creeks and rivers and harbors, and almost none of it has been seen in South Carolina. They have just passed a bill through the House carrying $80,000,000.00 and the Senate will add to it. Stevenson says, cut down "that steal," as Ben Tillman calls it, and build roads to the farmers' doors. What does the farmer say about this? Give Stevenson a chance, and he will do his best, not only to "put the Fifth district on the map," but to put the farmers of the Fifth district on the map also. Open Big Ditch Aug. IS. War department officials are perfecting plans for the opening of the Panama canal to commerce on August 15. The vessel which would be given the honor of leading a tleet of merchantmen through the great waterway had not been determined upon, but it was probable that the Cristobal, a war department steamer, would be selected. No ceremony will attend the actual opening of the big ditch to commerce. That will wait until the official opening in March, 1915, when an international tleet of warships will pass through.
