The cases in S. C. of Segars VS..
Parrott, p. /, and State VS.. Moore, p.
500, in reference to special elections on
the formation of new counties and
changing county lines are in point and
sustain this view.
In the case of Hunter VS.. Sem. 81 S.
c., p. A, which involved the validity of
an election upon the question Of dis
pensary" or mo dispensary" in the
town of Prosperity. the supreme court
held that because the ballots did not
conform to the statutory requirements
as to the size, color, ETC., that such an
election was not thereby invalidated:
but this conclusion was based mani
festly upon the fact that this was a mu-
nicipal election to be governed by
the ordinance of the town on that SUBJ
ject, for the report of the referee says:
My attention has not been called to
any statute regulating the size, shape
or color of ballots in municipal elec-
tions. general or special and that the
question as to such was immaterlal,
which was sustained by the court in
the following language: There is no
law which condemns the course pur-
sued by the electors at this special mu-
nicipal election Had this been a
county election then necessarily the law
governing elections in a county must
prevail, which is none other than the
law governing an election to fill the
general election laws of the State. This
case fortifies the view expressed
above.
From an examination of the various
text books, encyclopedias, State re-
ports. etc, there is abundant author
ity for the view that where authority
for a, special election fails to provide
the Machinery. recourse should be had
to Ae general election law accepting
either this view or the Interpretation
placed upon our election laws as here
inbefore expressed the law, the result
is this same.
am. therefore. of the opinion that
the supervisor ordering an election
under the 1904 act commonly known
as the "Brice act") should direct the
same to the commissioners Of election,
that the requirements as to the size OF
the bellots, time of opening and closing
the polls. eligibility Of voter, and all
other requirements governing general
election should be complied with.
It follows from this conclusion that
the expenses of the election are to be
met just as the expenses OF a general
election as governed by action 222 OF
the code. If there are no funds avail
able it becomes matter for legisla-
tive consideration.
Respectfully,
L. X. GUNTER. Jr.,
Attorney General.

Proposed New Lines.

Bennettsville. s. c., Special-The
talk which your correspondent heard
during his recent trip across the State
and few days stays at White Stone
Springs was not confined to newspa-
pers and politics. The industrial prog
ress and prosperity Of South Carolina.
especially in the Pee Dee section, were
topics of general discussion. The ques-
tion of railroad building and boat
transportation along the Pee Dee is
receiving not little attention.
One Of the important projected rail-
roads is from Dillon to Gibson, con-
Meeting there with branch OF the
Seaboard to Hamlet The promoters
Of this enterprise say that the road
will be built 1t is stated that Dillon
has subscribed $4,000, Little Rock S10,-
600, Clio $1,000 and McColl $4,000 for
this road. 1t will pass through the
best section of Marlboro and Marion
counties, and its promoters expect it
to pay good dividends, besides enhanc-
ing the value of the already valuable
property along the line.
The Bennettsville and Cheraw road
is also preparing to make an extension.
A meeting Of the stockholders has been
called to increase the capital stock
from 100000 to $500, 900. The direction
OF the extension has not been deter
mined upon. 1t will probably go south
ward by Blenheim or Drake. Mr..
Matheson and the other financiers who
are back Of this road have Southport
as their objective point. and hope to
reach that splendid port in the not
distant future.

Department Observer.

Department Observer.
The South Carolina section OF the De-
partment of Agriculture issues the fol-
lowing official bulletin Of weather and
crop conditions for the past week:
The Week ending Monday, July oath,
had a mean temperature about 2 de-
grees per day above normal. The ex-
.remes were a maximum Of 100 de-
grees at Blackville and Florence on the
20th and minimum Of 81 degrees at
Charleston on the 10Th and at Green
vile on the Goth. 1t was somewhat
cooler at the close of the week. The
sunshine was normal, or slightly above,
and was highly beneficial There were
few local high winds, but no serious
damage was done.
There was practically no rain over
the eastern half of the State; in the
central counties there were numerous
local showers, some Of which were
heavy; there were also scattered light
showers over the western counties.
What rain fell was highly beneficial, as
it occurred in localities that needed 1t.
Over the greater portion Of the central
and southern counties the ground has
become very dry and rain is needed.
Where the rainfall was heavy last week
hut rr,ho
1t was light last week and none fell
this week, crops suffered and general
y deteriorated cotton by willing under
the hign temperature, and rusting,
turning yellow and shedding; corn by
firing and whiting. Cultivation made
fair progress and over large portion
Of the State crops have been laid by
although this work will not be COM
pleted for several weeks.
Cotton continued to make rapid
growth geneAlly and has too a large
weed and too little fruit over the
greater portion, while a number Of re-
ports indicate that growth has stop
ped. and that tie plants are blooming
to the top. There are fewer reports of
damage from insects. and more Of rust
and shedding and Of plants turning yell
low. Cotton is beginning to open in
lower Barnwell county.
There is a general improvement in
both old and late corn, although the
former is too nearly ripe to
be greatly benefited by the recent rains.
Fodder pulling has begun. Some old
corn fired" to the ears. Bottom lands
that were flooded are recovering SLOW
ly. The heat and insects have injured
growing tobacco. Selecting and curing
are active. Peas for forage are prcmis-
ing. Rice is beginning to head in the
Colleton district; June rice being cul.
tivated in the Georgetown district. Pas
lures excellent. Peaches are fairly plen-
tiful but many are rotting on the trees.
LeConte pears are ripening. Sweet po-
tatoes and cane are doing we'll.

A HORRIBLE DEATH
Young Man Swallowed Alive By a
Hungry Shark
WAS CAUGHT NEAR BEAUFORT, NJ.
Sutton Davis, 16 Years Old, Carried
Away by Large Shark, Which At
tackled the Boy While He Was Wad-
.ino in the Water at Davis Shore.

Beaufort, N. c., Special.-A most
horrible and shocking occurrence took
place at Davis Shore, about ten miles
east of Beaufort, Saturday afternoon,
when Sutton Davis, 16-year-old lad,
while wading and playing in the water,
was suddenly attacked and eaten by
a very large shark.
Young Davis was in water about
waist deep when suddenly the shark
approached him, threw him in the air,
caught him as he struck the water,
pulled him under and disappeared in
the deep water with the boy. Thor
ough search has been made, but no
particle of his body has been found.
Those who were with the boy were
terribly frightened and could not help
him.
The occurrence has thrown feel
ing of horror over our town. The
citizens and the guests Of the commu-
nifty, particularly the children, have
enjoyed the fine dives and invigor-
ating swimming matches which they
daily participated in.
A large number of sharks have been
noticed in the waters here for two
weeks, but no one felt much anxiety
on account of the presence of the ter
rible monsters. A large quantity Of
fat-backs have been caught this month
and a quantity of refuse matter has
been thrown back into the water from
the factories. and sharks have come
in to feast on it. 1t Is the first time
a person has been molested by shark
in these waters in nearly so years.

In the Dairy.

"Cleapliness" shoald be the dat.y'
mans motto. and needs 70 be exer-
cised throughout the entire process
of butter.mahing, from milking TO
marketing.
What to feed the dairy cow can
only be ascertained by careful study
and a knowledge of individual sur
roundirgs. The object is to secure
the largest flow OF milk Of good quail
ty at the least cost. Many stick to
the old rule-half corn and half oats
by weight, then half bran by bulk.
This gives Il good and simple ration
that is relished by the COWS and can
be fed in connection with hay or sii'
age, or to supplement pasture. 1t Of
