A ''nfAP Big RAIN
Jupiter P!uyiuS Lets Loose Wat
er on the Country
COMES IN TORRENTS
Land Is De!uged and Lakes and RiY
erS Show Appreciate Rise In
This Locality

Old Jupiter Pluvius did his durn-
dest'' on the Fourth of July. He tipped
up his sprinkling pot and let loose a
food of waters 1t rained, it poured,
it came down in torrents, it descended
like Niagara, and then it came down
some more. Nothing like it has been
seen in this locality for years.
The trouble began last week Wednes-
day evening when heavy rain, with a
little hail fell. More came on Thurs
day night and when the citizens of
Sank Centre rose to meet the sun Fri
day morning, they met the rain in
stead. The moisture continued to come
down at intervals during the day.
About 10 a. m. there was a downpour
that lasted fifteen minutes that flooded
everything. 1t rained during the after
noon. But old Jupiter Pluvius kept
the best till the last, for along about
seven o'clock in the evening he turned
loose flood of water that beat all
other showers to it. One great water
fall seemed to have broken loose So
heavy was the rainfall that it was next
to impossible to see a rod away. The
streets were rivers and the cutters
torrents. There was also a job lot of
thunder and lightning during the day
and evening.
In this immediate vicinity such
damage as was done was merely NOM
inal. Some cellars were flooded and
occasionally tree was broken by the
wind. The streets were gulleyed out
in few places.
But elsewhere the storm did con-
siderable damage. At Paynesville the
roof of the new high school building
was blown off and the building was
deluged with water. The power house
at st. Joseph was destroyed and one
other building moved form it's founda-
ton. The wind and rain were furi-
Gus at Albany Freeport and Melrose.
The Melrose Hotel was struck by light
ming and few bricks from the cor
nice knocked off. A report was circu-
lated that there had been a cyclone at
Freeport but there proved no founda-
ton for it. st. Cloud experienced as
hard storm as did Sank Centre.
There was much damage in st. Wen
del, and some at Sartell.
The roads in the country were af-
fected. Where they were hard, little
damage except gulleying was done,
but where they were soft, bad con-
dition resulted. w. H. Barnett, mail
carrier on Rural Route No. 6, reported
number of bridges and culverts out
on his route Saturday. On the Birch
Lake road many large water holes
were formed in the woods.
The stage of water in the streams
and lakes was greatly affected. Dry
creek beds became small rivers and
creeks grew into torrents. Sank
Lake rose several inches. Little Birch
Lake was up six to eight inches on
Sunday, two days after the storm, and
some boat docks were partly under
water. Notwithstanding the magnitude
and fury of the storm, little or no
damage was done to the crops.

There is a split between the
two United States Senators from
this State on the matter of reco-
mmending a District Attorney in
the place of the present incum-
bent who has been given to un-
derstand that his resignation
would be accepted. Senator Till
man favors the appointment of
Hon. J. W. Thurmond who was
Judge Jones' campaign manager
last year, and Senator Smith fa-
TORS Hon. Francis H. Weston,
the present Senator of Richland
county. Whether Smith will in
sist upon his recommendation
against Tillman will have to be
seen later, if he does and the
President is put in the embarass-
ing position of not being able to
get the senators to agree he may
take the matter in his own hands
and make the appointment indie
dependent Of them. Tillmau is
not accustomed to allowing a
junior senator to stand in his way
when he becomes intensely in
terested, and if Smith is not care
ful his opposition to the senior
senator's wishes in this matter
may cause a breach between them
that will be hard to heal.

The governors announcement

The governors announcement
that he will not appoint on the
dispensary boards in the coun-
ties that will soon establish the
dispensary any person who is
addicted to the use of liquor is
meeting with general approval,
and we hope he will go farther
and announce that he will not
appoint a board unless it will
pledge itself not to employ a dis
penser who will be lax in observ-
ing the law. Of course, those
opposed to the sale of liquor do
not want it in any form, but when
it is forced upon them for the
community sake the law should
be strictly enforced, and if the
dispensary law is adhered = to
strictly, there will not be as much
drunkenness as was the cas- e
when the law was not observed.
However, the governor, if b e
stands to his purpose to keep
booze drinkers off Of the boards,
it may have the effect of holding
down a good deal of the prejudice
against the institution.

PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY
ADYERTISING RATES:
THE CLUB SYSTEM.

The statement issued by Mayor
Gibbes relating to the clubs in
Columbia, is interesting, espec-
tally, that, part of it which dis
eliminates between the "bogus"
and ''oona hde" clubs. He also
says 81 do not see why a man
has not as clear a right to keep
his private bottle there This club
as in his sldeboard at home, or
similarly to play a social game
of cards" These bona 6de clubs
the Mayor refers to, have what
is known as the locker system
where members of the club keep
their private bottle, and where
they can go to take social drink
with a guest. The opposition to
these clubs contend that it is un-
lawful to store liquor, and, a
place where persons congregate
to drink liquor is illegal. If a
restaurant were to permit drink
ing alcoholic beverages at table.
although the beverage was taken
there by the drinker, the pro.
prietor could be hailed before the
court under the law, charged
with maintaining a nuisance.
These clubs are operated under
a charter from the State, but
how they are authorized by the
charter TO permit persons to store
liquor we have never been able
to learn; if the club system in the
city is legal, the system will
spread into the country until at
nearly every cross roads there
will be a club where liquor is
stored and consumed, without
police protection.
The recent activity in Colum-
bla has put a certain class of
clubs on the run, but the Mayor
does not show why one club with
charter mas not the same right
to store and permit liquor to be
drunk as another, nor does he
attempt to show wherein any OF
the clubs have this right. It is
true. there are clubs, and clubs,
one class of clubs are nothing
more, so we are informed, than
bar rooms, 3hey sell to anybody
who has the price, while other
clubs receive no money from Wis
itors and only serve from the
private lockers of members. AS
aforesaid. if the locker system
in chartered clubs is legal in the
cities, what is to prevent the
same system from being operat.
ed in the smaller towns, and in

SMOKING OUT PROCESS.

The ways of politicians are
past finding out, they are always
inventing some new scheme to
carry out their designs. Th e
latest is to have their friendly
newspaper correspondents to run
a ''they say"in their letters about
the possibility of a certain prom.
inent citizen being groomed tor
a State Office, and this they keep
up until the gentleman spoken
of comes out over his signature
disclaiming any such intention -
a kind of eliminating scheme.
Not so long ago Hon. j. Arthur
Banks, State Senator of Calhoun
county, had as his guest in his
home. Hon. John L. McLaurin,
the two were friends at school,
and ever since, but as soon as it
became known that Banks had
McLaurin as his guest, the poll
tical pirates commenced to throw
out their feelers to find GU t
whether this visit had a political
bombshell in it. The first move
they made was to have a press
dispatch sent out which had Nc
Laurin employing a first class
newspaper man to run a. public
| ity bureau for him in Columbia.
this was denied by both Nc.
Laurin and Col. Green, the news
paper man, then when they saw
the public could not be hood
winked by that story, they sent
out the story that Senator J..
Arthur Banks would be a candi-
date for Stat. Office on the
ticket McLaurin would head.
Senator Banks is an excellent
gentleman, if he had any aspir
ations to fill a State Office, the
State would profit by electing
him. He is a successful farmer,
merchant and banker, and at the
head of the State fair association,
we doubt if he could be induced
to take any Office in the State
house, yet, because he did not
jump into the public prints to
deny the story Of his being a can
didate it was assumed that he
would be, and his name was be-
ing used until he tired of it and
put the snuffers on it by dis
claiming having any intention of
being a candidate. If such men
as j. Arthur Banks could be in
duced to take the State offices we
feel sure there would not be the
dissension that has been among
the officials, but instead Of these
broils, the affairs of the State
would go along as smoothly as
all business institutions should.

ably lowered. The law prohibits
keeping in cold storage meat for
over a limited time, recently the
officers found meats and eggs
that had been in cold storage
since 1906. The stuff was seized
and destroyed. The penalty for
the violation is severe. If a law
of this kind was national. the
meat packers of the West could
not pack away meat and keep it
for years, neither could they cor
ner this food product to raise the
price as they have been doing.
We do not doubt that some Of
this meat shipped to this coun-
try has been IN cold storage for
more than a year: kept there in
order that the supply could be
kept short so the prices would
soar with the demand. The law
should fix a limit for slaughter
ed meats, and enforce it rigidlv.

NO FEDERAL AID NOW.

1t will be recalled that the fed.
eral government appropriated a
large sum of money to aid in
building up the post roads. Dill
lon county, in this State, sought
to take advantage Of this oppor-
tunity, but when everything was
in readiness it found 1t could not
comply with the requirements OF
the government, and so far, only
three states have been able to
get any of this national appro-
priation.
Dillon is a young county with
no Indebtedness as the result
of years Of accumulations of de-
fcits, was in better position than
any other county, but it had to
let up because of the several
stipulations the government re,
quired before any of the money
was applicable. There will be,
however, an effort made to get
congress to modify the provis-
ions so as to make it more with
in the reach of States to get this
aid, and if this is done, then we
expect to see federal money
brought here to supplement the
fund raised by taxation.
All will agree that good roads
are sadly needed, that the pres
ent condition of the public high
ways have a great influence in
retarding progress. or in other
words. progress is held back by
the imperfect roads, but it takes
money to build roads, and the
rate of taxation will not furnish
the necessary means to give what
is needed, there is no doubt in
our mind that our system of road
repairing is more costly in
the end than if the people were
to bond themselves sufficiently
to raise the herewith to get the
roads built properly. If it was
proposed to issue bonds for roads
the taxpayers would be opposed
to it, because they would have
no assurance that their money
would be judiciously spent, but
if it could be shown to them that
the roads would be put under the
supervision Of a commission Of
competent persons then perhaps
it would be an inducement for
item to consider the matter of
voting upon themselves bonds
for this needed improvement.

One of the reasons advanced
by those seeking to have a legal
sale of liquor is the growing
number of clubs; we we're told
that many in Sumter voted to
re- establish the legal sale for no
other reason that the existence
of clubs in the towns, claiming
that the clubs are more debauch-
ing to the young than the dis
pensary would be. To belong to
a respecta Die club in city gives
a young man a certain prestige.
and, when in this club drinking
is permitted as a means of evad
ing the intention of the law, the
enticing effect is far greater than

has not had the effect of demor-

mercial seers. Cotton has open

the market reports indicate that
it will continue around the pres.
