HAULING FERTILIZERS.

No one has ever seen more hauling
than is now going on over the public
roads Of York county, and 1t Is doubt
full as to whether the like has ever been
witnessed before.
Empty wagons going to town In the
morning and full wagons going back
in the afternoon, sometimes in the
forenoon. 1t Is the same all over
York county, more noticeable perhaps
on the roads leading into the most
thickly settled sections. but the un-
mistakable rule everywhere.
There was a belief some weeks ago
that the farmers were not going to use
so much fertilizer as usual; but most
of those who entertained such belief,
are changing their opinion. The indi-
cations are that though the season be
later the amount Of fertilizer to be
used will certainly not be less than
last year and it may be more.

We are inclined to agree with the
suggestion of the Bamberg Herald that
it is a pity that the Hon. John l.. Nc
Laurip was not asked to head the
warehouse commission. While it is
true that from a salary standpoint the
place is nowhere in the neighborhood
of Mr.. McLaurin's size, still 1t is prob
able that he would have accepted the
position if it had been rendered him.
There would have been no good way
for him to get out of it. OF course
there are others capable of wrestling
with the big problem involved, but we
do not know of anybody in whom we
would have had as much confidence as
in Mr.. McLaurin.

The Bishopville Vindicator says that
efforts have been made to induce eth
er Hon. r. l. Manning or T. G. Nc
Leod to enter the race for governor
Both of these gentlemen have many
admirers in the state who would be
glad to vote for them, but we doubt II
they can be persuaded to enter now
that the press of the state has. practi-
cally given to Judge Jones the right
of-way as the logical man to defeat
Blease. We are satisfied that either
Richard I. Manning or T. G. Mcleod
would make II interesting for the can
ddates so far announced, especially il
there is to be a wool pulling campaign
between Blease and Jones.-Manning
Times.
Unless you are going to put up a
real middle Of -the-roader why not let
Judge Jones and Governor Blease fight
it out? Judge Jones will certainly
prove as strong as any man who has
ever canvassed the state on the doc
trine that the dispcnsary system was
the best solution of the liquor ques-
ton.

We would like to see a preferential
primary in South Carolina, not so much
because Of the difference it makes who
gets the Democratic nomination for
the presidency as because it will give
the people a chance to say for them
selves. We feel that we would almost
rather have the people name the man
they prefer than to have the power OF
selecting the nominee at our own dis
cretion.

WITHIN THE TOWN,

People who expect to participate in
the municipal elections during the next
two years should at once provide them
selves with registration certificates.
UP to a few days ago only twenty five
certificates had been issued. Every
body in the town should see to it that
everybody else gets registered. Those
who have no state registration certifi-
Gates should go before the county reg
istration board on the first Monday in
April. That will be the last chance to
get a state registration certificate in
time for use in getting IL city regis
tration certificate.

There has been a good deal of COM
ment about Governor Blease's pay
ments to Leon NJ. Green from his con-
tingent fund and TO the Rev. Mr.
Creighton from his law and order fund.
Most of the comment has been in the
nature of criticism and some of this
criticism came before there was any
as to what the payments
had been made for. 1t is a fact that
Mr.. Green used in his report quite a
lot of matter that had been prepared

The Observer does not know VINO
Superintendent Swearingen Is for or
against"-whether he is an enemy
or friend" to any political candidate.
But there is no doubt of this: He is
an enemy of illiteracy and friend to
education. The state has never had a
more able and conscientious officer
Newberry Observer.
Amen to that. 1t sizes up Mr..
Swearingen exactly. And if South
Carolina could have all public officials
of the Swearingen type, there would
be no politics of the kind that is now
doing so much harm in the state.

Claim Small Victory.

Juarez, Mexico, May 14.-Rebel off
GERS were Informed here today of the
capture of Mapimi by the insurrectos
under Colonel Canelels.
Confirmation of this report would
indicate Orozco's success was accom-
plished fully in the flank movement to
the southwest of Conejos, begun on
Sunday to check the federal advance.
BY worrying the government forces
in the vicinity of Mapimi, Orozco
hoped to divert large part of the
Huerta brigade southwark.
The federal garrisons at BermejillO
ana Mapimi were reported to be small
and detachment of insurrectos in
that vicinity later may harrass even
the federal base at TCrreOn.
Francisco Pradilio, who ten days
ago went to San Antonio, Tex, as an
alleged envoy of Orozco and brought
Emilio Vasquez Gomez here, was lock-
ed up late last night. Early today he
was sent southwark in custody to Chi
huahua.
Jose Cordova, secretary of state of
Chihuahua, who came north to explain
the niX-up over the assumption of the
provisional presidency by Gomez, at
tributes the confusion to the over
zealousness of Pradillo.

4 NEW STEAMER
IS PURCHASED
THE BoDo TO BE PLACED ON THE
RUN BETWEEN BRUNSWICK
AND BAHAMA ISLANDS.
A. r. Hensel Returns from Mobile,
Where He Purchased the Steamer
for VIM. O'5rien of the Bahama

A. R. Hensell of the Parker Hen
sell Engineering company, has just
returned from Mobile, where he pur-
chased for VIM. OBrien, of St. Paul,
Mimi, the large steamer Bodo, for
merly owned by the United Fruit
company.
This steamer has been purchased
by Mr. O'Brien to ply between Bruns-
wick and the Bahama islands, and
will take the run of the tug Admiral
Dewey, which for the past few years
has been making regular trips be-
tween this city and Wilson City, car
rying freight for the Bahama Timber
company, one of the largest sawmill
concerns on the Bahamas. Mr.. OBrien
is connected with the Bahama Tim
! Der company.
The Bodo is a large and comfort
able steamer with aH modern i'm
proyements and is we'll suited for the
work in which she is to be engaged
She is 200 feet in length, is equipped
with triplicate engines and has a
speed of Is miles an hour.
In the past the tug Admiral Dewey
has Leen on the run and on each
trip towed several lighters, loaded with
machinery, provisions, ETC., for of the
Bahama Timber company. With the
Bodo, much larger and faster boat
larg er lighters can be towed and mucF
time can be saved on the trips.
Mr.. Hensell will leave again shortly
for Mobile and will at that time make
arrangements for sending the new
steamer to this port. 1t is not know
whether the Admiral Dewey will alst
be Kept on the run or whether sh'
j will be engaged in other towing work

Some Points.

New Orleans, May 1.-THE crest OF
the great 1912 Mississippi river nooo
is passing out through the jettles
gateway of the river, ninety miles
south of New Orleans into the Gulf.
The river gauge readings indicate as
much. For the 72 hours ending at
a. m. today not a single governments
gauge between New Orleans and st.
Louis has recorded rise, whereas
at most points receding gauge was
shown.
The river was stationary at New
Orleans and St. Louis. At Cairo there
was a fall of IL feet, twa-tenths OF a
foot fall at both Memphis and Arkan-
sas City, and a fall of one-tenth at
Helena, Vicksburg, Natchez, Baton
Rouge and Donaldsonville.
But: While the crest of the flood
appears tc be passing, little rellet

CARPENTERS TO
REDUCE HOURS
EIGHT HOURS TO CONSTITUTE A
DAYS WORK AFTER FIRST
OF JULY.

At a largely attended meeting of
the local carpenters union held last
night, definite action was taken on
the after of reducing the working
hours in this city, and, effective July
first, eight hours will constitute a
day work for the members of the
union.
Heretofore nine hours have been
considered a day and for some time
the question of reducing the number
of hours to eight has been considered
by the union and the question has
been discussed at previous meetings.
Practically all the carpenters OF
Brunswick are members of the local
union and consequently the new rule
will be observed by all of them. 1t
is not expected that their action will
meet with any objections by contract
, ors and others in the ~ity.

that the federal forces would press
forward to follow up the decisive ad-
vantage gained in the fighting sun
day and that a battle may be expect
ed early tomorrow.
The rebels have had nearly forty
eight hours in which to recover from
the defeat administered by General
Huerta's command through the su

ports from insurrecto headquarters
were that Orozco was confident of
holding the positions now occupied

A Fine of $500 Was Imposed by Judge
krauss-First Placed 1t at $3.50, But
Later Reduced lt-A Hard-Fouqht
Case.

One of the most interesting and
hotly- contested whisky cases that
has come up in Glynn county since
the prohibition law went into effect
came to an end yesterday morning,
when the jury in the case of the
state VS.. T. j. Abbott, charged with
selling whisky, brought in verdict
OF guilty.
The case was given to the jury late
Monday afternoon. The entire day
was consumed in making up the jury,
introducing evidence and the argu-
ments of the two attorneys in the
case, and all during the day the
courtroom was comfortably crowded
with interested spectators.
When the jury failed to reach a
verdict few hours after retiring it
was at once predicted that another
mistrial would be the result but yes
terddy morning the twelve men en-
tered the courtroom and announced
they had made up verdict It was
read by the clerk and the result did
not come as a surprise to those who
had followed the case.
Judge Krauss at once passed SEN
tence. He at first imposed fine of
$3.50, but later reduced it to $500. 1t
is understood that the fine will be
paid, which means the end of the
case.
This is the third time this case has
been tried in the city court. Once
before Abbott was convicted, but a
new trial was granted by the supreme
court and the case was tried last
week, resulting in mistrial
The case has been the most stub
bornly fought of any of the many
WHISKY cases which have been tried
in Glynn county in recent years. The
defendant was represented by Judge
Max Isaac, while Solicitor Dart looked
after the states side of the case. In
almost every whisky case that has
been tried during Mr.. Darts incum-
bency as solicitor a verdict of guilty
has been the result, and this last vic
tory adds to the record the solicitor
has already made.

ALABAMA REGIMENT WAS
BLOTTED OUT BY ORDER

Montgomery, Ala, May 14.-AdJu-

order last night blotting out the third
regiment of Alabama infantry and re-

pany of this regiment at Birmingham
were dismissed. Seven companies OF
the third were retained and assigned
