COLUMBIA CITIZEN CERTAIN
WATSON WILL WALK PLANK

Cole l.. Blease will be inaugu-
rated governor of South Carolina
about the 18th of January. Before
the 1st of March there will be a
new head of the department of
agriculture and commerce, said
a well known citizen of Columbia
to The Times a day or two ago.
Il happen to know that Mr..
Blease does not like Commissioner
Watson and that he thinks less
of the commissioners method of
running the business of the
bureau. 1t is therefore all but
certain that Mr.. Watson will
have to walk the plank. Who
his successor will be. of course
no one knows. Mr.. Blease
probably has got given the matter
any thought, further than to
determine that he will not retain
the present commissioner. AS a
result of the removal of Mr..
Watson, you may expect to read
many editorials in the South
Carolina press denunciatory of
the governor, but as Mr. Blease
has said that his will not be a
newspaper administration | fig
ure it out that he will not lose
much sleep on account of what
the press says about the matter.
Personally, | think the interests
of the people demand a change.
The bureau over which Mr..
Watson presides is an important
one and if it were conducted
along the proper lines, its work
would be of great good to the
State. But we do not need at
the head of it a whooper-up and
Shouter for the commissioner who
uses his position as an advertising
agency for himself. 1t is pos
sible, of course, that Mr. Watson
will forestall the action of
Governor Blease by resigning,
which course would seem the
wise thing for. him to do: but if
he does not do it, am confident
he will be removed, and the
people will be benefited by the
change. "

Chinese Whiskey in Fort Mill.

Perhaps the first bottle of
Chinese whiskey ever seen in
Fort Mill was brought to town
a few days ago by Mr.. w. B.
Meacham from New York city.
While sightseeing in the Chinese
quarter of the metropolis two
weeks ago, Mr.. Meacham entered
a grocery and bought the whis-
key as a souvenir. Saturday
night the bottle was opened and
a number of Fort Mill citizens
were afforded the novelty of
taking their first nip" of spiri-
tus frumenti from the Celestial
Empire. The whiskey was said
to have had the flavor of sweet
ened alcohol, with strong traces
of chloroform, and number of
those who sampled" it ex-
pressed a preference for the
South Carolina dispensary out
put.

Cotton Crop Irregular and Late.

The following summary of
cotton crop conditions was pub
lished by the Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal Monday morning:
The cotton crop is coming to
maturity in an irregular manner.
In all parts of the South, save
the most southern cotton growing
sections, there are fields which
are thrifty and growing and a
late frost is necessary to permit
maturity. In all sections there
are fields which have apparently
come to full growth and will
make no more cotton. In such
the bolls are opening rapidly. 1t
appears that, ON the whole. the
past two weeks have brought the
crop toward maturity more
rapidly than the farmers had
anticipated. Z"

Large Farming Interests.

The Southern Power company
is said to be the largest farming
corporation in this section. with
its $4,000 acres of land, all of
which is rented out. Much of
the land is in cotton, but more
in corn, as the lands are situated
principally in the bottoms of the
Catawba and Broad rivers and
are better adapted to the cult
walton of corn than cotton. These
farms are adjacent to the power
sites at Fort Mill, Great Falls.
Catawba, Ninety-Nine Islands.

market price.
There was considerable interest
in the election last Tuesday in
this section, especially in the race
for governor. There were a good
many workers at the polls for
each candidate, but Blease was
the favorite, as many of us are
glad so say.

oysters or catch crabs from the
piers in front. Beauvoir is an
ideal spot for an old mans
home. 1t was given Mr.. Davis
by a Southern woman who ad-
mred him greatly. and for many
years he and his family lived
there when they were not in the
larger cities. 1t is one of the
many Southern homes on the
Mississippi and Louisiana stretch
of the Gulf of Mexico. with their
shell roads in front and wide do
mains covered with trees behind.
1t is built in the usual style
of that region, with a long, wide
hall extending through the mid
die of the house and opening into
a veranda or gallery which runs
across the front. The hal! is
used as a living room, and off
from it are bed rooms. In the
yard is a guest house where Mr..
Davis entertained his friends.
and a small but well stocked
library housed in a cottage, which
fell to the Davis family with the
house.
But the estate of Beauvoir is
not the only attraction that the
veterans enjoy, for it is situated
in one of the most unique regions
of the United States. This part
was the home of the Arcadians.

Will Try M. Finley Again.

Neither Solicitor J. X. Henry
nor Col. T. b. Butler is satisfied
with the result of the recent
election in which they were
unsuccessful candidates against
Congressman d. +. Finley and
each has declared his intention
of entering the race against Mr..
Finley two years hence. Col
Butler, in thanking his friends
for the vote he received in the
nominating primary three weeks
ago, refers to the fact that Mr..
Finley was not elected to Con-
gress until he ran the third time

The State Flag on School Buildings.

The attention of the trustees
of the State is called to the bill
passed by the last Legislature,
which provides that every school
in the State shall display South
Carolina flag. These flags are
to be made by Clemson college,
and are to be sold to the schools
and public institutions at actual
cost. 1t is understood that some
new machinery will have to be
installed in the textile building
before the cloth can be manu-
featured. 1t is not definitely
known when any of these flags
will be available.

Egg and Butter Supply Short.

The supply of eggs and butter
on the Fort Mill market for the
last ten days has not been suf-
ficient to meet the demand and
unless there is a speedy increase
in the supply of each from the
usual country sources a number
of grocers apprehend the neces-
sity of placing their orders with
out-of-town produce dealers. The
retail price of eggs on the local
market is 20 cents the dozen and
butter is quoted at 20 cents per
pound.
