WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1901.
Farmers are Gloomy

The creeks scarcely get into
their banks before another big
rain comes along and puts them
out over the bottoms again. The
heavy rains last Friday did con
siderable damage in the vicinity
of Lindsay. Saturday afternoons
rains extended nearly over the
entire county and on Sunday night
the heaviest rain of the protracted
wet spell fell. Aside from the
injury to lands by washing, the
damage to crops is incalculable.
Grass has taken all the farms and
it is doubtful if half the cotton
planted can ever be hocd out.
June is half gone and many
farmers have not chopped out
half their cotton crops. Thousands
of acres will have to be abandon
ed. The corn crop promises to
be even more of failure than
the cotton crop. Oats and wheat
where they have been cut and not
hauled out of the fields are ruined.
We don't remember ever to have
seen our farmers look so discour-
aged and talk SO disparagingly of
making a crop.

An Old indian Burying Ground.

An Old indian BuryinK Ground.
While inspecting the damage
done in his fathers bottoms by
the recent big freshets in the
Catawba River on Wednesday of
last week, Mr.. VIM. Nj. Gooch
observed in a washed out place
the points of the teeth of a man
sticking up. He began digging
with his pocket knife and soon
dug out the skull bones. Under
the skeleton head was a large,
very smooth Indian tomahawk.
In digging up the rest of the
skeleton, he found a number of
beads, from one-cight of an inch
to an inch long, apparently made
of bones of some kind. He also
found arrow heads, some Indian
pots, etc. The workmanship on
the tomahawk was excellent
superior to any we have ever seen.
Mr.. Gooch says that that portion
of his fathers bottoms has long
been known to be an old Indian
burying ground.

Tillman Approves
An Attempt May be Made to Drive
Senator McLaurin from the
Democratic Party.
The State.

An effort will be made to force
Senator McLaurin out of the
Democratic primary. The State
has received such infor nation
from an'authoritstive source. 1t
is also said that Senator Tillman
is aware of the movement and has
given his approval.
The matter may be brought be-
fore the county conventions next
May when they are to meet to
elect delegates to tho State con-
vention and to elect members of
the State Democratic executive
committee. There may be fight
in the convention which meets
about May Is, but it is expected
that the is sue will be brought up
squarely when the State commit
tee meets about week after the
State convention.
The fight will be made on propo-
sition to add to the oath to be
subscribed to by candidates a
paragraph stating that the candi-
date recognizes that the platform
of the last national Democratic
convention Kansas City, states
the principles of the party and
that such principles are subscribed
to by the candidate.
Mr.. McLaurin has declared his
opposition to the tenets of the
Kansas City platform, and such
action as that suggested above
would put him outside the Demo
cratic party.
Just before the last primary,
an effort was made to rule Col.
Hoyt out on the ground that he
was factlonal candidate. That
attempt fell fiat, for it was seen
that such action would have Great
ed an intense sentiment in favor
of Col. Hoyt on the ground that
he had not been given fair show
ing. In the case of Senator Nc
L'urln it is not question of
faction or of State politics, but of
party interests, it is said.
The State executive committee
formulates the rules upon which
the primary is conducted. The
proviso to Rule 6 is the one which
has caused discussion heretofore,
and the one which will be under
fire. The 'proviso as it now stands
reads: "Provided that no vote

cations of Democratic voters reads
as follows:

S"' oii AhHuit iSS ouu COuI-
plants are frequently made to this
Office relative to the failure of the
Treasurer to keep according to
the school districts the records of
poll tax collections. | write to
call to your attention sections
~ and As of the School Law of
1896. | have communicated with
the Auditor, but his books are
probably made up. If the tax
duplicates do not distinguish the
districts in which the polls are
paid, | trust that you will require
of each one upon payment of his
tax, statement of his residence,
so that corrections can he made,
and the poll taxes applied in their
districts according to law.
Very truly yours,
Jno. j. McMahan,
State Supt. Education.
Concerning this letter | wish
to say: Mr.. McMahan Is a man of
brains and ideas, with an honest,
conscientious desire to be of real
service to the cause of education
in South Carolina, and he is of
real service to it, but there are
some things about the practical
workings of the auditors and
treasurer's offices that he is not
familiar with. For instance, how
would it be possible for the treas
urer in the last few days of tax
collecting, when the bulk of the
taxes are paid, to ask each payer
what school district he lived in
and and to take the time to write
his answer downs He couldn't
do it, even if they knew what
their districts we're, which they
do not. Taking white ard colored,
not more than one man in ten
knows the number of his school
district. | have seen the auditor
when taking returns ask for half
a day and not find man who
knew his district mum ber. In
telligent men, even some school
trustees and school teachers, could
not remember their number.
Then how can the ignorant ones
tell what their numbers are? And
when the people themselves do
not know, how can the officers
know! Just you ask yourself,
reader, what YOUR school district
ls-and then ask your neighbor.
The treasurer of Lancaster
County believes in school districts,
and he keeps an account with
each school district, and sees that
each gets the money apportioned
it, but he cannot give each dis,
trict the polls in that district un-
less the tax books are made up
that way, and he knows from
observation and experience that
it is utterly impossible for the
auditor to make them that way.
There is no system in the way
this county is laid off, anyway.
To Illustrate: No. 12 is Trades
vile, or the eastern side of the
county; No. 13 is another school
near Tradesville No, it is Cane
Creek, on the river, in tho ex-
tremo west side of the county.
From there the numbers run to
Lancaster, which is No. IA, then
north, then back to the Trades
vile section. No. 20 is Oak Hill,
between Tradesville and Taxahaw:
No. 81 is Bell Town. The num-
bers then run across the county
to Taxahaw, Nos 27, then jump
hack to Cedar Creek Tnwnshin
