Special -There Is now considerable
wrangling over the school interests of
this county The Populist member Of the
County School Board said yesterday that
he felt like reslgning and having nothing
more 10 do with the whole matter The
negroes sent strong delegations from
every township 10 the courthouse Mon
day. asking for appointments as school
committeeman. They crowded the School
Board so much that it was almost iinpos-
sible to do business.
There is strong opposition here to the
special school tax 10 be voted on next
month. The white people, both Demo
Gratis and Populists, and some of the
negroes, will vote against it. Seine
think the whole matter will be null and
void because the registrars were not
notified, and consequently the registra-
tion books not opened forty days before
the day of election. Some Of the regis
trars appointed by the County Com
missioners the first Monday iii June

THE LAuREL-sTREET RuNAwAYs.
Charley Jewett and Jimmie Mitch
ell Are still Missing.

Charley Jewett and Jimmie Mitchell,
the two lads who disappeared from their
homes on south Laurel street last Mon
day, are still missing, and there seems
10 be no doubt now that they went OH
with one of the many trsmps who nave
been hanging around the Old pump
house.
Mrs. Jewett and Mrs. Bullock, the
mother and aunt, respectively, or the
lads. do not believe that the boys went
away OF their own voltion. They IN
cline to the belief that they were aD-
Quoted, but this theory the police do not
entertain. At the Third Police Station
IL was asserted as the opinion or those
who have Investigated into the matter
that the lads simply went OF with q
tramp for an adventure, and Policeman
Barefoot said last night that the boys
would in hts opinion, be heard from IN
a few days.
Color is given to the theory that the
boys left voluntarily by the fact that
Jimmie Mitchell asked his aunt for per-
mission to accompany Charlie Jewett 10
the depot to meet a lady who was 10
visit Mrs Jewett. and by the ADDITIONAL
fact that Mrs. Jewett expected no VISITOR.
The boys had become enamored or
tramp who hung about the pump-house'
and on Monday afternoon, the last time
he was seen at his home, he left TO
take this particular hobo some ice-cream.
Jimmie Mitchell has an elder brother,
who has frequently left home without
making his whereabouts known for
months, and Jimmie, no doubt, has the
same propensity for rowing. 1t is thought
by some that the boys have gone TO
Columbia to visit a friend Of the
Mitchell lad, who lives there.

A REMARKABLE RAINFALL.
Visits the Eastern Part of the City
OnIy-CrOps and Water supply.

The oppressive conditions of the last
week or so were decidedly moderated
yesterday. In connection with this fact
may be noted a very remarkable circum-
stance. Early in the afternoon the east
ern portions of the city were visited
with a perfect deluge of rain. SO heavy
was the fall that the cutters overiiowed
and the water collected in pools along
the uneven streets. In the West-End of
the city, however. there was no rain
fall at all. And that is precisely where
rain was badly needed. especially ON the
outskirts. where wells are said to be
drying UP for want of rain.
In the surrounding county the dust is
lying inches deep. and the soil is so dry
that vegetation is greatly hindered. Sec
ton Director Evans of the Weather
Bureau, said yesterday that unless the
crops have rain soon they will be
damaged TO an alarming extent. and
prices on fruits and vegetables this au-
tumn. except the imported. will be prac-
tically prohibitive.
