cording to Associated Press dispatches

their own. The crest of the rise Is not
yet in sight, but the speed of the flood
must bring the highest point before
long. Fully 1000 people are homeless.
having been driven from their houses
by the encroachment Of the waters on
the inhabited portion Of the banks of
the great river. 1t Is predicted that
the water at Memphis will reach 45
feet, ten feet above the flood stage.
If the water rises much higher, 1t Is
predicted the levees must give away
under the terrific strain in which they
have been subjected during the past
few days.

The Underwood people are pushing
a vigorous campaign through the south
by means of supplements furnished free
to the weekly papers. There is no
reasonable probability of Underwood's
nomination for the presidency; but con-
sidering the possibility that many
readers of the weeklies have no choice
anyway. these supplements may make
lot of friends. 1t is being charged by
the Atlanta Journal and other Wilson
papers, that while there is nothing the
matter with Underwood. his candi-
dacy is being pushed mainly by the
element that wants Harmon or Taft
first, Clark second, Underwood third,
and Wilson not at ALL AS a matter of
fact Underwood is not regarded as be-
ing especially formidable except in the
south. Every vote he gets from the
south will, of course, weaken Wilson
that much.

rather than quality. We are not pre-
pared to believe that Charleston has
developed any new vices, because she
did not have anything to learn in that
direction. The story in the State did
not make known anything that was
new. It was merely kind of cata-
loguing of things that have been going
on all along and it was a very mild
cataloguing at that AS to whether
Columbia is worse than Charleston we
would not like to say. We are inclin-
ed to think that If there is any differ
ence it. is in favor Of Columbia, but at
the same time it would be easy for
the State to make a much blacker
showing of Columbia than 1t did of
Charleston, without exhausting its ma =

THE CASE OF Mr.. RHAME.
Governor Biease Outlines His Position
In Bank Examiner Matter.

Governor Biease Outlines HIS position
In Bank Examiner Matter.
There were no new developments In
the Lexington Savings bank matter
Tuesday, says the Columbia correspon-
dent of the News and Courier, outside OF
q statement by Governor Blease. State
Bank Examiner B. ]. Rhame. who
was yesterday removed by the COVER
nor, and who refused to surrender the
office until ordered to do so by the
courts is still holding the office and
doesn't recognize the removal order
of the governor. Governor Blease
stated that he will proceed to appoint
and commission another bank examin-
er, and that If the matter gets into the
courts he will employ counsel to de-
fend the position he has taken.
1t is understood that Mr.. Rhame has
retained Mr.. w. F. Stevenson to rep
resent him, for there Is no doubt but
that the courts will finally have to de-
eide the whole matter.
Governor Blease. when asked If
there were any new developments In
made the following statement:
II presume that very few bankers
In this state will allow Mr.. Rhame, or
his assistants, to enter their bank for
the purpose of interfering with or
making any examination into the af-
fairs thereof, since I have issued a
proclamation removing him from Of
flee. If I were president Of a bank
and he were to come in 1t and make
any request to examine 1t, 1 would
treat him just as any individual citizen
Of the state, for most assuredly he is
no longer an official Of the state, and
he has no right whatever to go into
any bank and ask to inspect 1t.
II shall appoint his successor in due
time, and after he files his bond,
shall commission him; and, II a law
suit is brought against him to test the
title of his office, or 1t should be neces-
sary for him to bring one to defend the
title of his office, l shall employ coun-
sci to look after his interest, and pay
him out of the contingent fund Of my
office, for, Of course, all of the people
of the state understand that I could
not risk this matter. as 1t now stands
in the hands of the attorney general,
as Mr. Rhame states that he Is his
personal adviser.
II have looked up the decisions In
this case myself, and am thoroughly
satisfied that I had a right to remove
Mr.. Rhame, and that the courts will
sustain my position. If they do not, !
think 1t Is high time for the people to
know that a retiring governor can ap-
point a man to an office for term of
four years, and 1t does not make any
difference what he does or how he
does, there is no power which can re-
move him therefrom."

bIe.-Representative Randall Of Tex.
as, Democrat, aroused indignation
among members of the house yester.
day, when he charged many congress-
men were "approachable" while en-
gagged in legislative work.
Il make the assertion" he declared
that nearly every member Of this
house Is in the employ Of some inter-
est, or Is subject to some influence and
what holds true Of the house Is equally
true Of the senate. I say this with the
hope that l may hurt no ones feel

The Texas member was discussing
his bill before the judiciary COM
mittee to prohibit any Federal en-
ploye whomsoever from receiving any
retainer from any corporation engaged
in interstate commerce.
Few men are guilty of being cor
ruptly Influenced, but the fact remains
that they are subject to influences

Republican, took exception to Mr..

the bigger gambling joints in Charles

comment based upon the idea of how
much worse things are now than when

The Wisconsin preferential primary

LaFollette over Taft by vote of about
two to one, and victory for Woodrow

undoubtedly progressive.

There was an unusually large regis:

of certificates issued being about six

town elections are coming on and in
the second place people are beginning

may vote in the primary.
For Senator and Supervisor.
Mr. q. T. Bales of Flint Hill, writes
the Fort Mill Times as follows: Il see
from your last issue that there seems
to be no one wanting Office in York
county. l have In mind two men who,
l believe, would acceptably fill two Of
the offices. One Is Capt. John w. Ar
drey Of Fort Mill, who, being a man
of fine judgment, would make US a
good state senator, and I wish could
cast a thousand votes for the captain.
The other man Is Chas. P. Blanken-
ship, who Is possessed Of all that one
could need to make a good county su-
pervisor. Now, l hope no one will
think am a politician, for only know
these men to be we'll fitted for the two
offices"

nesday on business, and reported that
the Thompson's mill bridge, which was
washed away by the recent flood has
been replaced. The work was complet-
for the first time Wednesday. The re-
placing Of the bridge was neighbor-
hood task. The people saw it was go
ing to be some time before they could
get the bridge replaced In the regular
manner, so they just got together and
went at 1t themselves. All the old
timbers were collected from the creek
bottoms and the work was done main
ly by volunteers. What the actual
money outlay would be, Mr.. Currence
did not know, but he thought 1t would
be small.

NOTICE TO
SUBSCRIBERS

Probably our readers have
heard of a ruling of the postof-
flee department according to
which papers sent to subscribers
a year or more in arrears are de-
MED the second class privilege.
/ We have just received from
the department a demand for an
affidavit showing whether or not
we are complying with the regu-
laticn, which makes it necessary
for US to at once discontinue pa
pers to all subscribers year or
more in arrears, unless the mat
ter is arranged at once.
The following is from the let
ter calling for the affidavit:
"The right of publishers to ex-
tend in good faith credit on sub
scriptions is recognized and will
not be abridged, and although
all subscriptions are regarded as
expiring with the period for
which they were obtained, new
ertheless, in order to give an op-
portunity to secure renewals,
copies of their publications will
be accepted for mailing as to
subscribers at the usual second
class rates of postage for peri
cd of one year from the date of
expiration; but copies sent to
persons after one year from the
date of the expiration of their
subscriptions, unless such SUBJ
scriptions be expressly renewed
for a definite time, together with
an actual payment of subscrip-
tion or a bona fide promise of
will not be accepted
at the pound rate, but will be ac-
cepted at the transient second
class rate of one cent for each
four ounces or fraction thereof,
prepaid by stamps affixed"
1t will be seen from the fore
going that no choice is left US.
We don't want to stop your
paper.
We can't call on you personally
there is not sufficient time. If
you can't call at the office, please
send at once payment sufficient
to bring your time within a year,
or written order to continue
your paper for a specified time,
and a promise to pay.
Don't delay. Attend to this
at once.
