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

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.

Millions to Move the Crops.
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.

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

unavoidable necessity arises and
his township supervisor so recommends,

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.

Who Is
W. F. Stevenson?(Political
Advertisement. I
For what does he stand notoriously?
First, economy. 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.
