Counsel for Chas. w. Morse, the New
York financier, who is serving fifteen
year sentence in the Federal prison in
Atlanta, have commenced a new move
to secure his release on a technicality
The principal ground upon which the
effort is based is that there is no pro-
vision in law for other than hard labor
prisoners in Atlanta, and that Morse
was not sentenced to hard labor. The
attorneys also hold that the sentence
was made cumulative by the Jumping
of several different counts for the same
offense and this is unlawful. The gov
ernment attorneys do not think that
Morse has much chance to secure his
release on the grounds that have been
taken.

SOME LONG DRoUGHTS.

There is a lot of talk about the
drought these days. because in many
localities are not included any uf the
favored sDots, it is the most prom
inent subject Of daily concern. and just
simply won't be ignored. There are
people who claim that 1t Is the worst
drought that has ever been experienced
but this will hardly hold, because there
are farmers in every locality who have
seen more distressing conditions, and
generally they can easily match the
present situation without having to go
back to the notable drought Of 1881.
Mr.. Brooks Inman Of Yorkville has
made an interesting contribution to
drought literature from an old scrap
book formerly kept by his father in
law, the late A. w. Ingold. In that
scrap book is list Of droughts occur

The president is quoted as having
stated to several senators that he will
veto the Canadian reciprocity bill if
any tariff legislation is tackled on to it,
and that he will veto any tariff bill
that congress may attempt to pass at
this session. In reply, Champ Clark
announces that he is satisfied that the
country desires revision of the tariff
downward; that the Democratic party
believes the best way to revise is by
taking up the schedules separately,
and that if separate tariff legislation
cannot be gotten through at this ses-
sion, an omnibus bill will be put up
to the president at the next session
and there will be confident appeal to
the country on the issue.

The current issue of Newspaperdom
contains a photograph of the South
Carolina editorial party that visited the
factory of the Mergenthaler Linotype
company in Brooklyn on the afternoon
of June 9. The party was photograph
ed on the steps of the mammoth build
ing just before the tour of inspection
was commenced. AS has already been
stated, the Mergenthaler company gave
the party a most enjoyable automobile
tour through the greater portion of
New York and a large section of
Brooklyn. Before starting each lady
had been presented with a bouquet of
roses, and at the factory each editor
was presented with solid gold scarf
pin in the form of a miniature limo

Sometimes it seems that if the peo-
pie of this commonwealth had TO look
only to those who are placed in posi-
tions of honor, trust and executive res
possibility. for security to life and
property. and to guarantee the opera
tion of constitutional assurances as to
the right of the pursuit of happiness,
these privileges would he based upon
but a fimsy foundation. But to the
thoughtful and observant, it is obvious
that above the generally accredited
civil power, there is another power
far greater, more constant and stable.
That power if we he permitted to at
tempt to define it, is the genius of
right and Justice. which finds lodgment

RAIN AND THE CROPS.

Inquiry Of various parts of the coun-
ty this morning over the telephone as
to the weather conditions and the
crops brought out the following:
TirZah: There was a heavy rain
about a mile north of here last night !;
but there has not been a good rain at
this place in three weeks and crops
are poor.
Glover: There was a fine rain here
last night lasting three-quarters Of an
hour, the first since April Is. The
farmers generally have grown very
much discouraged and some of them
have been plowing up cotton.
Bowling Green: There was a light
sprinkle here last night, enough to run
off the roofs of the houses; but not

The Gaffney Ledger remarked the
other day that the editor of The En-
quirer knows nothing about draw"
The Spartanburg Herald took the
statement to mean that the editor of
The Enquirer had been cleaned out on
the New York trip and asked who
loaned him the money to get back
home on. Now comes the Charlotte
Observer with the assertion that the
editors of the Ledger and Enquirer had
fallen out over the question as to who
had had the last deal, and there it goes.
Wonder if the malicious meanness Of
the Herald and Observer have been
accentuated by their inability to go on
that trip.

During all the years that Piedmont
Mineral Springs has been known, no
one has ever denied the virtue Of the
famous White Diamond Lithia water
found there. And the management Of
the Piedmont hotel now is better than
Ii has ever been.
There have been no mosquitoes of
any consequence about Yorkville this
year, but whether It is more due to the
dry weather or the thorough cleaning
up brought about by the board Of
health some weeks ago, has not been
demonstrated. Flies are plentiful.
Ihrouohout the western part Of
Kings Mountain township, especially
to the south Of the Kings Mountain
road, crops of all kinds are reported to

also reported to be in very satisfactory
shape, comparatively speaking.
Many of the travelling men have gone
in off the road on account Of the dis
couraging effects Of the drought. Be-
cause Of the drought people are not in
clired to buy so literally as otherwise,
and many of the travelling statesmen
find themselves unable to make enough
to pay expenses.
II the Neil cotton picker should
prove successful, 1t will have as much
effect on cotton production as did the
invention Of the cotton gin. And peo-
pie who have examined into the idea
say there Is as much show for it as
there Is for any Of the more elabor-
ate and expensive cotton pickers that
have already been put on the market.
Il has not been so many years back
since, in this section, a million dollars
was regarded as a sum so stupendous
as to be beyond the present and future
dreams of any upstate financial In
stitution. In those days $4,000 was an
exceptionally large capital and 100000
was high water mark for deposits.
But the old idea Of things obtains no
longer as Is evidenced by the remarka-
ble statement Of the National Union
Bank and the First Trust and Savings
Bank Of Rock Hill, published In an
other column and showing combined
resources, aggregating $1,S05, ,3914O, or
about one fourth the total assessed
valuation Of all the taxable property In
York county. OF course million dol
lars Is still a stupendous sum, and the
figures quoted not only go to Illus
trate the fine progress made by these
splendid financial institutions, but also
help to emphasize the wonderful
growth that has been made and is be-
ing made by York county as a whole.

The record drought of this

The record drought Of this section
most talked Of by the middle-aged and
old men of today is that Of 1881. The
last general rain was on April 81, and
the next was on August IS. There
were some local showers in between;
but they did not amount to a great
deal. Good stands of cotton were gen.
eral before the drought set in and
about half a crop of cotton was made
that year. few farmers made very
good crops of corn, but generally the
corn crop was a complete failure.
Some people that year gathered in cot
ton stalks before frost and used them
for roughness with which to feed cat
tie. All kinds of vegetation was
brought into use for the same purpose
without much choice, and straw
that year. commanded the prices Of
Timothy hay in other years.
