We doubt If any one has ever scon so much wafer fall in so short a time as what we have had In the last live weeks. Cotton Is late and grassy and ean I | not make near a half crop. Corn Is; hotter. Most of the white farmers will make enough to do them. I'eas? oil stuhhle land are tine so all Is not lost like it is on the river. A protracted meeting started at Swift Creek chur? h vesierda\. We un derstand a Mr. Green from Florida will aid the pastor. A meeting will I commence next Sunday at i'lsgah church ami go on some days after. 1 Itev. Mr. Phillips of I>a I /.el I Is ex|>cct- I ed to aid the pastor. Mr. Phillips j Is a tine preacher. The political meeting held in Sumter j on the 1st. Inst, was a line one, There was nothing s|?eclnl to offend good | taste. Mr. Manning came to the stand 1 In a car escorted by about sixty . Sum- 1 ter people, headed by a brass band, j The rest of the Gubernatorial candi dates quietly walked to the stand with no demonstration whatever. When iilease got through speaking he left I the stand ami was followed to his hotel | by a large uumller of voters.. He went for the (inventor without gloves, Duncan went for all. Cooper made a tine speech. He showed the Governor and people that he did not have to ask any man's consent to run for (?<\vernor that was his right as If was an> other person's. He showed up the Governor. Blease and Cooper ma le the speeches of the day. About '2.000 were present and good order prevailed during the entire meeting. The meeting at Camden on the INth promises to be a large one. We have 110 doubt but. what it will be a tine orderly one. The meetings this year are conducted on a higher plane than j usual. They are more educational. j Men can differ in |>olitlcs without be ing personal and this is being prac ticed more than ever. Meeting at Mill Village. A political meeting was held at the] school house at the mill village Mon- 1 day evening. Not much publicity had j lieen given the meeting but a crowd j estimated at about.mie-lumdied had hh- ? seinbled and all enjoyed the pleasantry ! of the meeting. Speeches were made 1 by W. H. Gardner, candidate for Mag istrate: W. N. West, candidate for, towlishlp commissioner; L. T. Baker, for coroner: M. C. West for supervisor; ( W._ W- Huckabee and G. C. Welsh, for .sheriff: T. K. Trotter and G. (J. Alex ander. for the house of representatives. Mr. Baker. for coroner, stated that if, elected he would try to make a record for himself. Said there was not much chance of building up the business of the office, unless he could form a com bination with th?v physicians and un dertakers. The meeting was an unusually quiet j affair, everyone in a good humor, ami ; old time ginger of the campaign was lacking. To Move Millinery Parlor. Miss Mattie Gerald will move her millinery jmrlor about the first of Sep- 1 tember into the Lang store on Broad ! street formerly occupied by the Cly- j burn Drug store. This place will give j her more store room and Miss Gerald I says she will have a better place to ' display her goods. Time 'Drawing Near. Owing to the campaign drawing to a close The 'Chronicle will not accept, any communication that might, be con strued as an attack upon a candidate later than its issue of August 18th. We do tills in order that lite candi date on whom such attack might be J made will have an opportunity to reply \ in tail- issue jit August 'Jfitli. Likes The Fish. lOdltor Chronicle ? I notice in lust week's Chronicle where Mr. W. F. Stevenson stated that Mr. Finie.v wnlt ed until election time to offer books and lish. Mr. Stevenson is certainly badly mistaken for we have been get ting the books and fish for years. We have fish in our pond that Mr. Finie.v sent us several years ago, and they are fine. 1 would advise anybody thai has a pond to write Mr. Finley any year and they will he sure to get fish. Orover C.'Kush. Westville. S. C.. Aug. it, 1010. It's I'p To The Officers. Sunday as we were returning from Westville, in the public road Just above Camden where there is a negro pool room and several storeH, some two or three negro women and several negfro men were engaged in a rough and tum ble flght. They were under the In fluence of whiskey, and it was as dis graceful a scene as we have witnessed in many a day. This was a serious breach of the peace and each of them should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If any of our peace officers care to taEe up this matter, we will give them what assistance we can in bringing this dirty molt to Justice.?- - Wateree Messenger. Married.

FLOOD RRUKF FI ND. Money Can He Obtained By Applica tion to Major Younghlood. The Chronicle is in receipt of the following letter from Congressman I). K. Fitilejf, tinted York. s. < .. August 5th. The letter explains Itself: "I have been lit communication with the authorities at Washington in re gard to the distribution of the Flood Relief Fund that was appropriated b.v Congress for the relief of the suf ferers in the recent flnnd*.

I suggest that you get the secretary of your local chamber of commerce to receive appli cations and forward them to Major Youngberg as soon as |N>Msihle. This money is to he used in buying quick growing seeds for the support of the people and animals in the districts de- j vastated by -the floods. If your town has no Chamber of Commerce the May or of the town could receive the appli cations and . forward them to Major) Youngberg. These applications should be as reasonable as |H?sslble and should lie sent in as stnin as imssihle for the quicker they are sent in the sooner they will receive attention and the funds distributed.

The recent floods in South Carolina caused con siderable damage to the crops and there are many who are in need, ac cording to information gathered by Governor Manning Tlw Federal Gov ernment has made an appropriation to meet the situation, yet this will not be sufficient. The more fortunate citi zens of the state will be requested to contribute to a campaign for the suf ferers, The appeal for funds has gone out and It Is expected that IIIkthI amounts will be contributed. "The croflfc over a vast area of our state," said Governor Manning, "have been completely destroyed and thou sands of our people are who'll j- without croj?s, without occupation and will soon Ik? without bread unless Immediate help Is given them." ....
