MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE
BEFORE YORK Meeting

An important meeting of coun-
ty officers, York members of the
Legislature and the members of
the court house commission was
held Thursday at Yorkville. Sew
eral matters of Importance to
the people of the county were
discussed in the meeting, but
no action was taken. On account
of the bad weather Thursday
the number present was not as
large as had been hoped for, and
another meeting probably will be
held this week.
The township supervisors pres
ent recommended to the legisla-
tive delegation that some minor
changes be made in the present
road law. The courthouse COM
mission asked that the act author
izing the bond issue and the erec-
ton of new court house be so
amended as to give the commits
sion power to tear away the old
building, or to condemn a site
for a new courthouse, if it was
deemed best. The act does not
provide for this.
The matter of enacting a law
authorizing the county 10 sell a
portion of the county home farm
and use the proceeds to build a
comfortable home for the coun-
tvs poor was also brought up.
1t is said that the grand jury has
recommended that this sale be
made and the money used as
stated.
The county treasurer reported
that the levy of 3 mills that was
necessary last year to pay inter-
est on the G. C. & C. railroad
bonds of York township could be
reduced to 2 mills; that Cataw-
ba townships l Ia mill could be
reduced to Sd of a mill and that
Ebenezer townships 3-4 of a
mill could be reduced to 1-2 a
mill. The Catawba river bridge
debt having been paid, the 3-4 of
a mill levy on that account could
be discontinued.
1t was estimated that the total
requirements of the county, ex-
elusive of the road and bridge
funds would be about $43. GIG. 70.
OF this amount it was thought
that something like SO, 900 would
be raised by fines, licenses, etc.
and that there would be about
$35, 66S. SO to be raised by tax
alton.
Although the levy for ordinary
county purposes was not definite
ly fixed, it will probably be about
the same as last year; but there
seems to be no question of the
fact that except for the destruc-
ton of bridges by the remark
able freshets of last spring, the
levy would have been consider
ably reduced.

Thanked Blease for Their Freedom

Following their release Christ
mas from the State penitentiary
twelve negroes who were liber-
ated went in a body to Governor
Blease's Office to thank him for
their freedom.
A negro who had been sent up
from Greenville county and who
had served a long term acted as
spokesman for the party. Upon
reaching the Governors office
the Greenville negro drew him
self up and, saluting the Govern
or in military fashion, expressed
their appreciation of again being
free. Each one of the negroes
then shook hands with the Gov
ernor, who told them to be good
citizens, to get work on farms
and not to loaf around towns.
With the Greenville negro
leading the whole dozen marched
out single-file. passed through
the State House grounds into
Gervais street, and taking right
into the middle of the street
marched down towards the rail
road still in single-file.

Tillman Fayors Sims for Marshal?

1t is reported that United
States Senator Tillman has
pledged his support for the office
of United States marshal for this
State to Mr.. James l.. Sims,
editor of the Orangeburg Times
and Democrat. Mr.. J. Duncan
Adams is the present marshal,
and he has some two years to
serve, but there are several
candidates for this position, in
Guiding Sheriff Bufford of New
berry; Mr.. J. d. Gilreath, of
Greenville; Mr.. Pringle T. You
mans, of Columbia, and others.
The report that Senator Tillman
is backing Mr.. Sims for marshal
comes from a seemingly reliable
source. Mr.. Sims has been a
strong personal and political
friend of Senator Tillman for
years, and is one of the best
known newspaper men in the
State.

Clover Mill to Start Soon.

1t will be recalled that mill No.
l, of the Clover Cotton Manu-
featuring Company. at Clover,
York county, was destroyed by
the tornado which visited that
section on the afternoon of
August 3. AS soon as possible
after the mill building had been
demolished, along with part of
mill No. 2 the management COM
menced the work clearing up the
debris, having No. 2 repaired
and rebuilding No. l and repair
ing or rebuilding the forty or

night employment was given to
all the operatives. No. l is ex-
pected to be ready Tor business

FIRE DESTROYS BARN,
STOCK, VEHICLES, ETC.

Sunday night at about IL O..
clock the big barn on the old Jas.
Nivens place, three miles north
of Fort Mill. was destroyed by
fire, together with one mule, one
cow, five hogs, one bale of seed
cotton, quantity of cotton seed,
fodder and hay. The building
was owned by the estate of Lee
S. Nivens and the loss of it's
contents falls upon A. C. Wal
lace, who has worked the place
for several years. 1t could not
be learned at what figure Mr..
Wallace estimated his loss, but
it doubtless amounted to several
hundred dollars.
The fire was thought to have
been of incendiary origin. Mr..
Wallace had been away from his
home Sunday night but returned
about 1870 O'Clock. The mule
he had driven was placed in it's
accustomed stall alongside a stall
usually occupied by another mule,
but this animal had been turned
into the lot and five hogs fasten-
in the stall. Upon entering the
hallway of the barn Mr.. Wallace
noticed that the ladder leading
to the loft was not in it's accus-
toned place but paid little atten-
ton to this fact. He entered
his home, a hundred yards dis
tant, and had scarcely retired
when aroused by the roar of the
flames. When the family reached
the barn the building was ELL
veloped with fire to such an ex.
tent that it was impossible to
save any of it's contents.

The rainfall of the year 1912
was normal in South Carolina
being 40 inches, but 33. "a inches
fell in the first six months and
only Is. Sc for the last six months.
That was an unequal distribution.
In consequence of the light rains
during the last six months.
water courses are low. There
has been more cloudy weather
than usual the last two months.
The mean temperature for the
last five Decembers has been 43
degrees. This December was
not quite as cold as the last one.
The following is the mean tenn
perature for the last five De-
cembers: 1908 was 47.3; 1909
38.1, 1910, 37.8; 1911, 2; 1912,
46.4.
The rainfall for the month was

Earthquake New Years Dax.

The slight earthshock of last
Wednesday afternoon brought
afresh to the minds of many in
this section the great earthquake
OF August 81, 1886, which came
on about $50 p. m. 1t was much
more pronounced than the dis
turbance which came last week
People rushed from their homes
and many came out screaming as
though some great calamity was
on them. AS is generally the
case the first shock was then the
strongest. There were several
lighter shocks during the night
and they continued to be felt for
several weeks.

Parcel-post Stamps Necessary.

Many packages mailed by par
cel-post are being held at the
postoffices throughout the coun-
try because the senders used
postage stamps instead of parcel
post stamps. The use of parcel
post stamps is absolutely re-
quired. Packages on which
they have not been used will be
delayed at the postoffice until
the sender has been notified and
the parcel-post stamps have been
provided. They may be bought
at the postoffice exactly as other

CHEERFUL FORECAST FOR
'l3 MAR By BRADSTREET

An interesting and very sound
review of the business year 1912
and a cheerful forecast of the
year 1913 are contained in the
Bradstreet commercial agency's
publication that was issued Sat-
urday.
Bradstreet regards 1912 as
having been year of remark
able achievement" in agriculture
and trade and industry, summar-
izing it as "a period of peaceful
progress and plenteous produc-
ton during which were laid some
firm foundations for a season of
prosperity in the current year"
Regarding 1913, the report
shows optimism. Cheaper food
is one of the benefits to come.
High prices in European markets
make it improbable that surplus
foreign goods will be dumped in
to the United States as soon as
the tariff wall is lowered. The
extra session for reducing the
tariff should be held soon to
shorten the period of uncertain
ty. Pending action on the
tariff" says Bradstreet, opera
tions will probably continue to
be governed by conservatism.
but not by pessimism." The re-
| port concludes with the predic-
ton that conservative interests
will hesitate to operate extensive
ly until something definite can
be known of the ultimate crop
results of 1913"
In statistical table the state
ment shows that the bank clear
lngs for the year were seven
billion dollars greater than the
former record, which was made
In 1909. There was less railroad
mileage foreclosure, but there
were slightly more business fail
ureS.
In the matter of agriculture,
crop values are shown to have
amounted to Sd, 866, 449, 600. Cot
ton contributed $3.50, 600, 900 to
that total. Only corn exceeded
cotton in crop value in 1912. The
total for 1912 compares favorably
with the total of SIS, 248, O6O, 600
complied by adding the record
year values of all crops. The
total for 1912 is an increase of
IA per cent. over the crop value
of 1911.
Cotton's value in 1912 was 2. 4
per cent. greater than in 1911,
and only $40, 900, 600 less than in
1910, which was the record value
year in cotton; but the 1912 yield
was 10. l per cent. less than the
1911 yield, which makes the
greater value all the more con-
spicuous.
