There is promise of a good crop Of
grass this year, and it is to be hoped
that the good example set by more pro-
gressive farmers during the past few
years, will be generally followed.

The Wheat Harvest.
There is a big wheat crop in York
county, and it is to be hoped that our
farmers will not prove unequal to the
task Of harvesting it. If they do prove
unequal to this task, the lesson Will be
that they did not look far enough
ahead, mistake which must be avoid
ed hereafter.
Safe Robbery at Blacksburg.
Blacksburg special of June to Char
| lotte Observer: The store Of D. r.
| Bird was entered here last night and
his safe blown open and robbed OF over
$1OO. It was thorough job, and was,
no doubt, the work Of experts. Mr..
Birds first intimation that he had been
robbed was when he opened his store
this morning, finding his safe door
some three feet distant from the safe,
his money missing and his books and
papers scattered over the floor. There
is no clue to the robbers.
Relief In Sight.
The nuisance of stamping checks and
drafts, kilograms and other documents
of daily usage, will soon be abated.
| The bill that goes into effect July 1st
removes the war tax on the following
articles: Bank checks and drafts, bills
of lading for export, certificates not
otherwise specified, express receipts,
money orders, mortgage, mortgage or
conveyance in trust, power Of attorney
| to sell, promisory notes, protest, tele-
graph messages warehouse receipts.
On all else the tax is retained.
The Exposition.
The outlook for general county rep
resentation at the South Carolina In
ter-State and West Indian exposition
is not good. It Is not necessarily be-
cause the people are not interested; but
| because the farmers are too busy just
now. Committees were appointed at
| the meeting held month ago to report
to a meeting to be held last Wednes-
day; but the only out-of-town men,
bers to come were DR.. j. II. Saye, OF
Sharon, and Mr.. Perry Ferguson, OF
Bandana. Messrs. M. G. Willis and w.
| B. Moore were on hand; but because
of the small representation, 1t was not
deemed worth while to attempt further
| business. The outlook Is that the coun-
! ty will not be well represented at the
exposition.
riIIman Is "Disgusted."
| Rock Hill special Of June 6 to the
Charleston Post: When the winthrop
| board Of trustees adjourned for dinner
TODAY. Senator Tillman's attention was
called to the challenge Of Senator Nc
Laurin as made yesterday to M. A.
League, Of the Baltimore American.
He seemed indignant that Senator Nc
| Laurin should make such challenge,
having only within a few days past
withdrawn a resignation which he had
agreed to and signed Internationally.
| However Senator Tillman says the
challenge comes without authority ex-
cept through a newspaper reporter,
and he does not feel called upon to no
tice it. He appeared disgusted WIN
the whole business and expressed a
|
is worthy Of further attention from
| him.
