THURSDAY. MAY 25. 1916.
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. Pegram of the Chester
News is saving coupons to get a
shirt for the press meeting in
Yorkville, and curiosity compels ,
us to wonder if "Pig" has ,
changed the brand of his ,
"smokes" since he used to
chunk type in The Times office.
The Gaffney Ledger thinks it
it no reason to vote for a man
just because he runs. But. then,
it isn't customary to vote for a |
man if he doesn't run.
It's an even bet that Robt. G. I
(Peg Leg) Graham shook the <
hand of the President in Char- ]
lotte Saturday.

The rain brought smiles to the i
farmers' faces and work to the j

Blease Opens His Campaign.
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. (Cotton

Rev. Paul H Moore of Louisville,
Ky., has accepted a call
to the pastorate of Ebenezer
Presbyterian church to succeed
Rev. Jos. T. Dendy who is now

Col. J. F. Kaylor, of the River

in Rock Hill a few days ago and
to.d a newspaper reporter that
the fish were biting fine. 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 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

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

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.
