One Mill Tax
" A (Jr-at Help.
Discussing his rocent visit to Co
lumbia with un Intcligencer reporter
yesterday, J. D. Felton, superintend
ent of education tor Ander non county.
r.aid that lie went in tlio interest or
the one mill special tax (or tbe rural
schools. According to the local edu
cator, this law was enacted at the
last session of the General Assembly
as a kind of experiment and there
seemed to bo some doubt as to wheth
er or not It would again be effective
tb|s year. The tax represents about
918,000 annually, one-haif of which
goes to the state board of education,
wMlo the remainder, with other state
??d, leaves about $10,000 in this couc.
/'for th? use of public schools. Mr.
Felton said that it the law wer? re
pealed at this time it would bo a
death blow to the oountry schools of
tbe state. He said however, that ev
ery legislator with whom be came in
'Contact, both the delegation from An
derson eonntv and others, heartily
favored it and that the measure would
likely to remain in force
Had Day On
for inspecting and accepting the new]
Kennedy street school. No impor
tant action upon any matter came up
for attention at the meeting yester
day.

Narrow Escape
From "ComcOn.**
Mr. Swillln McFall .reports thct
Gilbert Thompson, a>.nagro on his
place, was sorely tempted by the
crooks who alleged that tnoy ni'd
found a pocket book. The aforesaid
purse with its treasure.was reported
to have been found, in' front of
Flolshmann's ntore nnd to have been
placed in the keeping of a' Well
known citions, wigs*/ impecunious
nest* is such that when Gilbert asked
air. McFall for the 97a with which
to secure tbe half of the money In
the purse Mr. McFall:'realized at
once that the whole thing was a
hoax.

Local Business. -
Yesterday was a
d?T?on merchants
the day there were few visitors In the
city.* Tbe rain fell steadily practi
cally alt day long, with but few let
ups and business was as poor as It
hsd been any day this year. How
ever, those (few people who were in
town were hero for buying and most
merchants said that they had
done fully as well aa could be ex-,
elected in view, of the inclement
wpather conditions. One merchant
was hodre-to; remark th*t he would
rdthcr see six people in town wiUi
money te spend titan a dozen who
had not come to trade. Which is a
logical viewpoint for the merchant.

GREAT DANGER
TO THE FRUIT]
Feared That Recent Warm Spell
[May Kill Some of the Bad- '
The s?mmjety weather enjoyed' in
Anderson county during the past ten
day has caused'a feeling of alarm to
spread among persons Interested Id
the fruit crop, and it is generally be
lieved that unless there le a decided
change in tho weather during the next
few days fruit will suffer much dam
age. The present spell of warm,
fair weather .broken yesterday by a
drizzling rain, has caused no little un
easiness to be evidenced by fruit
growers. It was learned yesterday
that peach and fig trees, were already
threatening to bloom,' the tiny forms
being considerably sweled and in
some instances nearly ready to burst
openv
A' spell Of cold weather at this stage
would, It la believed, be of great as
slstance to Abo fruit crop. Fruit
growers say another week of the
pr?sent high temperatures will t*
sult in the trees bursting , .into full
bloom.-The foot that' this spoil of
warm weather- la .detriment-* to the j
Interests of .the fruit cropls the only
thing that prevents the season betng?}
