NOTE AND COMMENT.

The State Summer school will open
at Winthrop college tomorrow. Quite
a large number of teachers have
already arrived. The attendance
promises to be very satisfactory.
The candidates for the various coun-
ty offices are all doing more or less
still hunting and the voters have be-
gun to show more interest. in the sit
uation as the busy season draws to a
close.
The expense Of working cotton this
year has been comparatively small.
Grass has not been able to get fair
start except in a very few instances
where the crops had been neglected,
and the danger is now comparatively
slight. The only thing to be dreaded
is a rainy spell Of ten days or two
weeks; but even that would not neces-
sarily do q great deal of harm.
The county Democratic executive
committee will meet in YoTkyille next
Saturday for the purpose Of making
final arrangements for the county CAM
paign. Two Of the most important
the committee will be the establishment
of schedule Of assessments on the can
didates for the different offices and the
arrangement Of the itinerary Of the
county canvass. The assessment
schedule will probably be about as
heretofore, and the itinerary will pro-
vide for at least one meeting in each
township at points that will be. fixed
by the committee unless there be spe-
cial requests from people interested In
the various townships. D. =.
Congressman Finley on yesterday
handed the reporter a piece of ore
from the Ross tin mine near Gaffney,
and he took occasion to remark that
he believes that similar ore will proba-
bly, be found in York county, and
perhaps also in Lancaster county.
That Mr.. Finley may be correct Is
quite likely. Although there are but
few people in this section who would,
from their own knowledge, be able to
identify this ore as tin. to all who have
paid attention to the rocks of north
western York, 1t looks more or less
familiar, and 1t may be found there
in abundance. The promised prelim-
mary geological survey will no doubt
throw more light on the subject.
Nothing has yet been done about the
organization of Yorkville Democratic
club No. 2, authorized by the recent
county Democratic convention. The
object of the second club is to facil-
itate the voting and especially the
counting of the votes. For a number
of years past it has been an all night
job to count the votes cast at gen.
eral primary. BY organizing a new
club and dividing the vote, it will be
possible to reduce the time that has
heretofore been required for the count
at least one half. 1t has been suggest
ed that if another club be organized
it will be very well to agree upon Lib
erty street with the Rock Hill and
Rutherford road extensions as a d.
viding line. putting all the residents
north Of that line in one club and all
south Of it in the other.
They are catching fish up on the Ca
tawba river in the vicinity Of Wrights
ferry again. During the first month or
two after the power company damned
up the water the fish seemed to have
disappeared. They could not be caught
either with hook and line or in bas-
kets. But during the past few weeks
some of the more persistent fishermen
have been getting their reward. Mr..
VIM. Brandon has caught quite num-
Der of fish in baskets of late, and 9TH
ers have been nearly as successful.
Most of the catch Is made up Of cats,
though there are reports Of the appear
