When the Yankees Came May 1st is an anniversary which recalls days of long ago to some citizens in Anderson. One May day nearly 50 year ago the pupils of Miss Harber's school were enjoying a picnic near where the cemetery now is when the peace of the day was disturbed by the cry "The * Hankees are in town." That was in May 1865, after war was over, really, but there was a gang of bummers, socall ed raiders, going through the country terrifying women and children. Mr. C. C. Langston. known and loved of all people in Anderson called attention to the signiificance of the anniver sary.-Daily Mail.

There will be no election this year in Anderson county on the question of dispensary or no dispensary. The .law under which petitions, addresse'd to the supervisor, asking that "an election be called, says that the names of one-fourth of the free holders of the county secured on petitions circulated, be pre sented to the supervisor befor( t le 1st of May and this was nol done. For some time now petitions have been circulated in all sec ide News .0 t Here and There th Carolina. tions of the county, and it was understood today through sonm of those who had these in hand, that more than enough nanes had been secured. County Supervisor B. J. Pearman tol those who presented them that they had come too late; that the law required their being filed with the Supervisor befort the 1st of May, and that of course, the election could not now be ordered this year. Church Built in One Day. Spartanbnrg, May 1.-Spar tanburg's Methodist church was built today between sunrise and dusk. In a handsome building at the corner of South Church street and Crescent Avenue, not a stick of which had been stand ing 14 hours before, 800 people( worshipped tonight, while three times'that many stood outside, vainly seeking to enter. Althc built in a single day, El-Bethel church is as substantial a struc ture, the carpenters agreed, as if six months had been devoted to the job. It is a far hand somer building, according to Major Augustus H. Kirby, 8: years old, than the first Meth odist church erected in this city, which was dedicated in 1836 and took a year to build. With carpeted aisles, mission style pews, an altar decorated with flowers, a piano in the choir loft and all the other re quisites in place, the interior of the church last night presented as finished an appearance as the exterior, which was neatly painted in white, with green trimmings.

Manning, May 2.-For some time past petitions have been out in this county for signatures asking for an election on the question of reestablishing the dispensary, which was voted out four years ago. Yesterday the time limit expired and it was ascertained that enough signatures had not been secured and there will be no electioni. This settles the question tfor four more years and Clarendon~ county will be legally dry thai much longer.

It was expected that a *con sierable part of today's sessior of the court would be taken ut by .Tudge Staples' charge to the jury, opening statements o. couns11el andit other preliminaries.

En route from Savannah and Augusta to Washington, Presi dent Taft last weeik addressed crowds at the railn ay stationTs in three South Carolina towns -Florence, Dillon and Sumter. The president was well received, and in each instance seemed to make a hit with those who had ,athered to hear him. The president touched but lihti on politics and campaign issues, his main point at Flor (ence being that prosperity should be preserved through good government. He also t spoke in opposition to innova- t tions, in this point apparently s hitting at Col. Roosevelt -and his newly propounded theories. At Sumter Mr. Taft repeated f his remark, made notable dur- b ing his visit to the Soutb short- t 1v after his election, that there c were many in the South who t voted one way and prayed 9 another. At Dillon he paid a tribute to 3 the memory of Maj. Archibald v Butt, who went down with the n ill-fated Titanic. Wall Street's Cheap Money. C Susiness men who borrow at the banks in the South pay, on the average, 2! per cent more for io .cy than do business men in the Eastern States, ac cording to the reports filed at Washington by 6,000 national banks. When we compare the rates paid by farmers, ner chants and manufacturers in this section of the United States d with those paid by speculators r in Wall Street, the difference is a even more marked. Interest s rates on the New York Stock ti Exchange are often as low as r 21 per cent -* hen men engaged s in productive industries in the I South are paying from 6 per s cent to 10 per cent for bank V funds with which to carry on - business.

These roads J would be divided in three classes, e' with subsidies of $25, $20 and S 15 a mile. It is estimated the cost of the first year would be s< 16.000,000 to $18,000,000. P Georgia for Underwood.

Many voters utilized at blank line of the ballot to in ser the names of Theodore Roo.evelt., W. J.
