MORE HEAVY RAIN.

There was another unusually heavy
downpour of rain yesterday morning
beginning here at about o'clock with
loud crashing of thunder and a con-
siderable display Of electricity.
The rain came down in torrents, one
cloud emptying itself after another
and then after an intermisslon still
another heavy downpour.
Information yesterday from different
quarters was to the effect that many
of the gullies and smaller branches
were higher than on the occasion OF
the big flood Of March Is; but because
the several downpours were less nu-
merous and not so long sustained. the
larger creeks did not overflow their
banks so extensively.
Recently plowed ground suffered Sc
verely, and there was other damage;
but up to this time no information has
been received of the washing away OF
bridges, etc.

While less appalling in execution,
that Bamberg affair the other day was
hardly less dangerous in conception
than was the court house assassina-
ton at Hillsville recently. The spirit
of lawlessness exhibited was fully as
pronounced, and the menace TO public
safety fully as great. There are laws
against the sale of liquor in Bamberg
as elsewhere. AS elsewhere there is
an element there that would ignore
these laws and all other laws. An in
dividual who does not respect the Ii
quor laws has no respect for any 9TH
er laws. Conditions at Bamberg were
such that it was impossible to get 10
cal people to enforce the laws. That
meant that the law-abiding spirit of
the community was not what it should
he. Pursuing the only course worth
while under the circumstances, the
mayor of Bamberg asked the governor

The branch of the United States hy-
geographic office in New York, issued
an order last Friday morning moving
the lanes OF travel for Atlantic liners.
one hundred and eighty miles south
ward from that which was pursued by
the Titanic when she met with her
disaster. The course Of ships between
New York and ports of northern Eu-
rope has heretofore been close up to-
ward the Arctic circle, mainly because
of the lesser distance to be travelled.
The order referred to is to reduce the
danger from ice.

Just a little Of the noble manhood
that was exhibited in the sinking OF
the Titanic on Sunday Of last week
would not be amiss on the land. even
in connection with the political game
now going on. And for fear that
some one may take it up wrong, we
beg to say there is fully as much
room for the display of the qualities
referred to the one side as on the 9TH
er. Further. to be effective it must be
the real thing that costs something

able to detect them even before they

sent" the names of the persons who
had contributed more than 500 to

ed. The bill would require further
that managers of political commit
tees, or voluntary organizations, sup
porting the campaigns Of candidates,
and all persons working in behalf of

The principal business OF the county
convention which will assemble on
Monday, May 6, will be to reorganiZe
in the usual manner, after which 1t
will elect a county chairman, state
executive committeeman and ten dele
gates to the state convention.
AS a matter of information, 1t Is
proper to state that each club elects
it's own member Of the county execu-
tive committee, and that the county
convention elects the chairman Of this
committee The custom heretofore In
choosing delegates to the state con-
vention has been to elect one delegate
from each township, and one delegate
at large.
So far as The Enquirer has infor-
nation, there are no contests contem-
plated in the reorganization of the
party, and no reason to anticipate that
the work of the convention will be
other than smooth and harmonious.

LOCAL LACONlCS.

Mr.. w. A. Jackson, of the peniten-
tiary guard, came up Saturday and
took three prisoners back to Columbia
lyesterday-two negroes and a one-leg-
ged white man.
Damage BY Lightning.
News was received here yesterday to
the effect that the barn on Mrs. w. l.
Roddey's Spencer plantation, about
two and one-half miles southwest OF
Rock Hill, was struck by lightning
during the morning and a mule was
killed. The barn was set on fire. but
the flames were extinguished before
any considerable damage was done.
Inter c Collegiate oratorical Contest.
The South Carolina intercollegiate
oratorical contest, which Is composed
of the nine male colleges of the state
which has heretofore held its annual
contest at Greenwood, decided 70
change its place of meeting this year
to Rock Hill. 1t will be held in the au-
ditorium Of Winthrop college on Fri
day evening, the 26th, beginning al
7.30 p. M, and even that large audito-
rum will doubtless be taxed to its ut
most capacity to accommodate the
large crowds, which usually attend
the meet. II
Most of the Bridges Back.
Supervisor Boyd said yesterday
that about forty of the bridges carried
away by the freshet of March 15, were
now back in position. He has done the
very best he could in connection with
the matter, using the old bridge tim
bers as far as possible. OF course,
where it has been practicable to put In
new timbers, 1t has been done. But
in most cases time was the first and
most important element. The people
were impatient for their mails and i'm.
patient for the resumption of general
traffic along the roads. The bridges
were cotton back in a remarkably
short time considering everything, and
although 1t Is impracticable to give a
reasonably close estimate of the total
cost, the total cost has been only q
small part Of what it was at first
feared 1t would be.

There was a collision between the
Maloney Liner Denver and the Nor
gan Liner FL Sud, off Galveston last
Saturday night. The Denver was ly-
ing to on account Of a dense fog, when
the Fl Sud came along proceeding
slowly. The two boats came together
with a crash. The port side Of the FL
Sud was stove in and she was set to
leaking badly. There was much ex-
citement for a time. Boats were low
cred, and the passengers on both ships
were thrown into something like a
panic Although several people jump
ed into the water, they were rescued
and no lives were lost.

News from the flooded area Of the
Mississippi valley in Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana continues to en-
phasize the increasing gravity Of the
situation. Thousands Of those who
were compelled to flee to higher
places when the yellow flood invaded
their homes have been cared for, but
there are still many more who are in
imperative need Of aid. AS the wa
ers continue on their destructive way
more appeals for help are being re-
ceived by those in charge Of the re-
lief work. 1t Is estimated there are
fifty towns and villages that have so
far felt the effects of the flood. Some
places are under from two to fifteen
feet of water, with little prospects of
an early recession. Reports as to the
loss of life differ. Those known to
negroes. 1t is believed, however, the
list will be much larger when the in
terror of the affected district Is peni-
trated by rescue parties. Conditions
in the country overflowed by the
Beulah, Miss, break, are extremely
serious. High places in Boliver county
never before inundated are covered
with three to four feet of water. All
women and children in that district
have been taken to Greenville and
Vicksburg. Much relief work remains
to be done in that section as appeals
for help from both white and black
inhabitants are continually being re-
ceived at Vicksburg where the head
quarters Of the relief bureau are es-
tablished. Over a dozen towns have
already been inundated from the
Beulah break. At Nibletts, Miss, four
miles south of the Beulah crevasse,
where some alarm was felt for por-
ton of the levee Saturday, large
force of men is working day and
night and it is believed a break will
be averted. Great damage has been
done to railroads running through the
flooded districts. The distribution of
supplies to hundreds Of victims ma
rooned on plantations and in settle
ments In the neighborhood Of Tai
lulah. La, began today. There Is no
material change in the levee situa-
ton south Of Vicksburg.

up the standing of the different con-
testants as follows: -

Although only a small per cent OF
the possible votes available were col
lected, there was very considerable in
terest in the contest from start to fin-
ish and not a little intelligent energy
manifested. 1t seemed that there was
room for a good deal Of trading among
the contestants, and some Of this was
done; but the trading was not carried
to anything like Its possible limits, as
was evidenced by the fact that several
of the smaller schools fought the mat
ter out bravely and gamely to the last,
determined that IL they did not win
they would at least make as good a
showing for themselves as possible.

afected localities, President Taft, II
is expected. will send a vessel within
a few days to afford an opportunity
to leave the disturbed districts to
those who may wish to do so. The
sending of an American vessel to the
coast OF Mexico sets a precedent in
the present revolutionary disturb
ances as heretofore the United States
navy has refrained from cruising in
the Mexican waters. A British vessel
last year. however landed marines on
the western coast of Mexico to enable
foreigners to escape the effects of n
threatened attack Of rebels The ar
mored cruiser Maryland is at San Di-
ego. Cal. The gunboat Yorktown is
en- route north from Guatemala to San
Diego. The gunboat Vicksburg is at
Panama. 1t is likely the Maryland will
be the vessel selected.
A presidential campaign publicity
bill, admittedly aimed at the Repub-
lican candidates in the present fight
for the nomination at Chicago in June
passed the house Saturday after a
short debate marked by bitter Demo-
cratic attack upon Colonel Roosevelt
and President Taft. Charges credited
to Director Mckinley Of the Taft cam
paign bureau that large sums were
being spent for the nomination Of
Col. Roosevelt, were read to the house
by Representative Henry, Democrat,
of Texas, author of the publicity bill.
He demanded that the house pass the
measure to force both Mr.. Mckinley
and Senator Dixon, manager for Col.
Roosevelt. to file sworn statements Of
the charges they have made. of ex-
cessive use of money or pledges in the
present campaign. In the debate that
followed Republicans cheered vigor-
Ously the declaration Of Representa-
tive Mann. Republican leader. that If
Roosevelt were nominated, "he would
beat you to DEATH" The bill, strong
ly amended with the aid Of the Re-
publicans, finally passed with almost
no opposition. 1t would require each
candidate for the presidency or vice
presidency on any ticket, to file with
the secretary of the United States
senate. both before and after prima-
ries. nominating conventions and gen.
eral elections, full. correct. itemiZed
