Heavy Vote Probable.

In the race for governor two
years ago between M. F. Ansel
and Cole l.. Blease only 3,239
votes were polled in York county.
The voting strength of the county
in the Democratic primaries is in
excess of a, 900 and it is thought
that the vote this year will be
larger by several hundred than
it was two years ago. 1t will be
recalled that the vote in 1908
was considerably cut down by
the severe rain storm which was
general throughout the county
on the night preceding the pri-
mary. Not only is the gubernato-
rial race this year likely to arouse
more interest among the voters
than was manifested two years
ago, but the opposition to
Congressman Finley this year
probably will induce many of his
friends to go to the polls and
vote who otherwise would give
little thought to the election.

Beneficial Rain Sunday Night.

Beneficial rains fell throughout
York county Sunday night. In
many sections of the county the
crops were suffering from the
drought of the last three weeks
and farmers were beginning to
fear that if the dry spell" con-
tinued a few days longer great
damage would result to both
cotton and corn. In places
corn had begun to "fire" con-
siderably and the growing cotton
showed the want of moisture,
but it is thought that the timely
rain will do much to resuscitate
these crops. A number of
farmers who were assembled on
Main street Monday morning
agreed that the rain was worth
a hundred thousand dollars to
the county.

Palmetto Flag Must Float Over Schools.

Legislature requiring that the
State flag shall be displayed

versity and of each State college.
and upon every public school
building, except when the school
is closed for vacation. !"
The act prescribes that it
shall be the duty of Clemson
college to manufacture the flags,
which shall be sold at approx
mate cost and be of correct
design, consisting of blue, with
white crescent in the upper
flagstaff corner, and white
palmetto tree in the centre. The
textile department of Clemson is
rushing the manufacture of the
flags and it is hoped to have a
supply ready for the schools at
the opening of the fall session.

Loss May Be Made Good.

Cashier w. B. Meacham has
received a letter from f. Y.
Jones, the young white man who
some weeks ago passed fraud
ulent checks on the Savings
Bank of Fort Mill to the amount
OF $24O, requesting that he
communicate with Jones' father,
who lives in Texas, with the
view of having the latter replace
the money which his son secured
on the worthless checks. Mr..
Meacham has complied with the
young mans request and it
seems probable that the loss of
the bank will be made good
within a few days. Jones was
arrested in Charleston some
weeks ago and brought to York
vile, where he has since been
held in the county Jail, on a
warrant taken out for his arrest
by the Clover bank, which he is
also accused of having defrauded.

FORT MILL AUDIENCE HEARS
MR.. RICE LECTURE ON BIRDS

The hundred and more Fort
Mill citizens who composed the
audience at Confederate park
Monday evening to listen to the
lecture of Mr.. James Henry Rice,
Jr., secretary of the Audubon
Society of South Carolina, have
never had the opportunity of
hearing more pleasing or profit
able discussion of any subject
than the practical talk of Mr..
Rice on the bird life of South
Carolina. Mr.. Rice began his
lecture by outlining the origin of
the Audubon society, telling sue
cessively what it had accom-
plished, its work of the present
and its hopes and plans for the
future.
He made it plain to everyone
that the country is suffering
great and irreparable financial
loss each year by the wanton
butchery of the birds, the great
police force of the air which the
TAliillSIIy lido CISdISu 10 serve
man as scavengers and destroy
ers of injurious insects. The
mass of facts and figures which
Mr.. Rice presented to prove the
contention of the Audubon
society that the birds are one of
mans greatest friends, and
should therefore be preserved
rather than destroyed, were
simply appalling. That Mr..
Rice's lecture in Fort Mill will
be productive of good in this
section was the remark made by
many who had the pleasure of
listening to his address.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Rice
to return to Fort Mill later in
the year, when he will deliver a
lecture to the school children and
one for the public. 1t is not un-
likely that a local Audubon soci-
ETY. will be organized in Fort
Mill this fall.

CONFEDERATE WARSHIP RAISED
FROM GRAVE IN WINYAH BAY

After lying at the bottom of
the Pee-Dee river, near George
town, and proving an obstruction
and a menace to navigation for
40 years, the Confederate steamer
Pee-Dee has been raised. some
of her boilers and machinery re-
moved and the hull blown to
pieces with dynamite to clear the
channel. The work was done
under the supervision of Capt.
j. G. Tamplet, in command of
the dredge Cheraw, of United
States engineering department.
A number of cannon balls were
found in the steamers hold, but
no guns were aboard.
The Pee-Dee was built near
Pee-Dee bridge for the purpose
OF descending the river and
breaking the blockade in Winyah
bay. She was launched Just
too late to accomplish this object,
however, for Sherman's army
had formed a junction with the
Federal squadron, and the whole
country was infested by land and
sea, in such force as to make the
attempt impossible of success.
The steamer was powerfully
built vessel of war, her hull being
constructed of seasoned oak 18
inches think, and her frame of
exceptionally heavy timbers.
She was $50 feet in length with a
25-foot beam, and she was fitted
out with powerful engines.
Very little information can be
obtained as to the exact causes
which led to her destruction, but
1T is certain that she was sunk
by the Confederates to keep her
from falling into the hands of
the enemy, and it is probable
that this took place shortly after
she was put in commission. Only
few miles interviewed between
the bridge, where she was put
IN the water, and the place where
she found her resting place for
all these years. Capt. Tamplet
states that her timbers were per-
fectly sound, with the exception
of the boards which formed her
deck.
The weather forecast for today
is rain.

Mr.. Curtis Interested in Messervy Case

The Rev. F. O. S. Curtis, of
Walterboro, who came to Fort
Mill Friday afternoon to assist in
the dedication of the new Flint
Hill church Sunday, was greatly
interested in the decision of the
State supreme court in refusing
a new trial to j. w. Messervy,
a Colleton county man who was
convicted i'm July, 1909, of killing
Dispensary Constable f. c.. Fish
burne and given a sentence of 20
years in the penitentiary. Mes
Servy was accused of running a
blind tiger and Constable Fish
burne attempted to seize lot of
alcohol, a horse, wagon and har-
ness belonging to Messervy.
An alteration followed and the
constable was killed by Messer-
Wy. Some sympathy was felt
for Messervy in Colleton county
because he is a cripple.

Rev. DR.. J. B. Mack to Return.

that he will thereafter make his
