The Times was pleased to read in The State of last Monday an editorial in support of the Com m on wealth in the controversy with the fire insurance companies over the Laney-Odom law passed at the last session of the General Assembly. Gradually The State seems to be elbowing its way around to the side of the people and we are more than pleased to observe its change of heart. The daily papers of South Carolina have been in position since this act went into effect to do much to bring about an understanding with the companies which quit the State in a huff < a few weeks ago, but it has seemed to us that instead of ' presenting the side of the people in the controversy, some of these papers rather have pre- , sented the side of the companies. Aside from the righteousness of the Laney-Odom act, South ? Carolina is too big an institution 1 to truckle to the Southeastern Tariff Association. The voters ought to be careful in the primaries next August to Keep out of the General Assembly men who will not keep this associa- ( tion out of the State. The city authorities of Fort Mill could at small cost furnish the citizens with some ex ceptionally good water this summer by installing a fountain in the surface well at the head ? of Main street. This could be easily done by tapping the city water main and placing a coil in the well with a spigot at the surface. The water passing through the coil would bo cooled and made a great deal better than the present supply pumped from a few feet below the surface of the street. Bro.

Ex-Gov. Cole L. Blease. candi- : i date for governor in the coming | < campaign, addressed a large i gathering at Rikard's flour mill, i in Lexington county, Saturday. ; i The former governor was liber- i ally applauded during his talk. 1 Among pther things. Mr. Blease ,; is quoted as having stated that i he was not running for governor now becatise he wanted the job. but he was running because he was representing the great band j of "reformers" which was or- j ganized in IS90. and because, at a conference of the fodowers of this movement held in Oolnm bia, at which tnere were 262' 1 representative South Carolinians present, he was called upon to ] ' again lead the fight for the people. He said that he had en- ' deavored then, as he had endeavored before, to get another to j take up the cause, hut to this they would not accede and he was now running because he felt j that he could be of service to his people and not to himself.

He has hooked some big ones and a few days ago he "hung" one so large that when he attempted to land it the hook straightened and the fish got away. The attorneys representing I opponents of the proposed Catawba county matter appeared hefore Chief Justice Eugene B. 1 Gary in Columbia Thursday and ! cue action praying an injunction to prevent the new county commissioners from proceeding was heard.

The Drought Broken. If Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner" had circulated in these parts for the last seven weeks telling his story of "water, water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink" somebod\ would j have knocked him on the head its a mouthy and disagreeable person, for everybody was thinking of water, the kind that refreshes the earth and makes things grow to feed man and beast, and nobody would have wanted to hear that the thing ' they most desired was at hand but not to he had for any sort of consideration. Well, it's a j lor gr road to have to travel fron At ril 7th to May 22nd without enough rainfall to cheer one 01. the way to moisten the earth an ; inch below the surface, bill that's the experience ever>body ia I his section has had this year. Hut a bend in the load was reached Monday night as bends are reached in all good roads and the seven weeks' drought was broken by a rainfall that night and the following day which will be worth thousandin dollars and mountains in peace of mind and encouragement to this section. Vegetation already has taken on new life and after all things are not always as had perhaps as they >eem. New Enrollments Necessary. One of the most important business matters transacted in the recent State Democratic contention in Columbia was the adoption of a rule requiring all white Democratic voters of the State to re-enroll this year. The machinery for this was later provided at the meeting of the State executive committee, which named the first Tuesday in June as the day for opening the club registration boohs. The system of enrollment will be the ; same as two years ago, and the 1 >ooks will be almost identically he same form. . ? Old newspapers for salt* at The rimes office. THE FORT 3 "Whereas, Hon. W.
