LEWIS AND STONE
TO WRESTLE HERE

Ed. Lewis, known as the
Stranger and one of the best
wrestlers in America will wrestle
Jack Stone, the big Swede,
from Louisville in this city Mon
day, July 18th at the Tabb OPP
era House.
Those men have met before
and after each man had won
fall they wrestled for three
hours and finally the referee
called the bout a draw. Man
ager Wilkerson has guaranteed
the men 100000 and they have
agreed that the winner receive
the full purse, so it goes without
saying this will be some match.
Stone has wrestled twice in this
city and won both times and
will have many. friends among
the crowd, while quite a num-
Der from here have seen the
Stranger perform and will pull
for him. This promises to be
the best bout pulled off in this
section of the State for long
time and a record breaking
crowd is expected.

BOURBON COURT

A small crowd was in town
Monday for county court. Prac-
tioally no stock was on the
market and very little business
was tran sacted. The principal
topics of conversation were the
Thomas Cantrill Congressional
race, the approaching local OPP
ton campaign and the prevail
ing drouth. A great deal OF
electiopeering was done for
Bourbon's popular candidate,
Hon. c. M. Thomas, and his
friends are confident of his nom
nation. The advocates of local
prohibition are hopeful of the
result of the election to be held
September 20, as Bourbon coun-
ty is expected to give a large
"dry" majority, Paris being the
only wet" spot in the county.
The dry weather is becoming a
serious matter with the farmers.
Corn, tobacco, meadows and
gardens are suffering for rain,
and stock water is getting
scarce. Wheat threshing is pro-
crossing satisfactorily and the
crop is the largest for years.

The Proposed Water System.

Mr.. j. N. Amber, of Win
ston, N. c., the civil engineer
who was engaged by the town
to make q survey of the streets
of Fort Mill to determine the
cost of installing a water system,
has filed his report with the
city treasurer, along with a blue
print drawing of the proposed
system. From this drawing,
which is posted in the show win
dow of Ardrey's drug store, the
following facts are taken:
The diagram calls for the
erection of a metal standpipe.
the location of which will be on
Ardrey hill, west of the South
ern freight station, with ca
pacity of 10000 gallons. The
water supply is to be gotten
either from the several deep
wells in Sprattville or from the
springs near the old White home
stead, north of town. (Samples
of water from these springs
have been given analysis and
found to be pure and fit for
domestice use.) From the
standpipe on Ardrey hill the
mains will be carried over the
entire town, in most instances to
the incorporate lines. Begin
ming at the standpipe, the main
pipe line, 8 inches in diameter,
will be brought direct to the foot
of Main street, near the pas
senger station, and will continue
through Main street to the inter-
section of Booth street. From
the foot of Main street sections
of the S-inch pipe will also eX-
tend to each of the cotton mills.
connecting with the water sys-
tens of the mills and giving
several hundred thousand ad-
ditional gallons of water in cases
of emergency. Along Booth
street, from it's intersection with
Main, will be laid a 6-inch pipe

terian church, and from this

THE CRISIS in ENGLAND.
Columbia Record.

1t is difficult, of course, for
those not on the spot to under
stand thoroughly the nature and
merits of the political contro-
versy in England over Ireland,
but an outline of the broad under
lying causes will throw much
light on the crisis.
The cause of the agitation is:
Opposition of Protestant ard
industrial Ulster to the proposed
home rule legislation under
which Catholic and agrarian Ire
land would be in control.
The opposing factors are: The
radical parties Liberals, Labor
ties, Socialists and Irish Nation
alists, known as the coalition
versus the Unionists, also called
the Conservatives. Allied with
the latter are the army clique
and the aristocracy.
Premier Asquith's proposal
with view to compromising the
quarrel and pacifying the con-
flicting elements is: The partial
exclusion of Ulster from the
workings of home rule for six
years, pending settlement of the
question by methods not yet out
lined. He proposes that the nine
Ulster counties vote separately
on home rule, they to be eX-
cluded for a maximum time of
six years if they so desire. The
Unionists reject this proposal.
The immediate cause of dis
turbance and question under
debate is: Shall the army rule
England?"
The possible results may be
stated to be: If the home rule
bill is pushed to passage armed
rebellion on the part of 100000
Ulster volunteers, with resultant
civil war, is looked on as a GER
tainty.
If the home rule bill is not
passed it makes imminent the
overthrow of the Liberal Gov
ernment. which would bring on
a general election, meantime
multiplying all steps taken in
other important legislation. such
as Welch dis establishment and
land reform. Columbia Record.

McLaurin Outlines His Position.

John l.. McLaurin has given
out a statement regarding the
coming campaign, in which he
will be candidate, and has
mentioned the issues which he
regards as important. Among
these are qualifying suffrage in
the primary, compulsory school
laws, the Fortner bill, the ware
house bill, and Bleaseism (so-
called).
McLaurin delares he is not in
favor of restricting the right to
vote in the primary and that he
is satisfied the last primary was
without fraud to any consider
able extent. He favors the Fort
ner bill, as amended by Senator
Clifton, and if elected governor
will recommend its enactment
into law.
Regarding the warehouse bill,
his position is well known.
In regard 20 "Bleaseism," he de-
clares that he regrets to say il
will, in all probability, be one of,
if not the paramount, issues in the
campaign, and states that there
never was a time in the State
when there was greater need fol
charity and tolerance.

Franks Chances Brighten.

Leo. M. Frank, of Atlanta,
will not be hanged April II, the
date set by Judge Ben Hill. This
became virtually certain through
the disclosure of contemplated
legal maneuvers by Franks
corps of lawyers.
In the event that Judge Hill
acts unfavorably upon the ex-
traordinary motion for a new
trial and refuses even to hear
argument, as he may do in an
extraordinary motion, and fol
lows this action by denying the
defendant a bill of exceptions,
the Judge may be mandamused
by Franks attorneys and the
case thereby carried for the
second time to the supreme
court of Georgia.
What the action of the defense
will be in event that the supreme
court again denies their appea
has not been decided, but it is
known that the last recourse
even then will not be exhausted

point to the corporate line a
4-inch pipe will be laid. Along
Confederate street 6-inch pipe
will extend from Main street to
Spratt street, a 4-inch pipe from
Spratt street to Forest street,
and Pinch pipe from Forest
street to the incorporate line.
Academy street calls for pipes
similar to that of Confederate
street, but it is probable that
this line will be dispensed with.
Clebourn and Elliott streets are
to be supplied from a 6-inch
pipe to connect with the S-inch
pipe along White street. The
several streets in Sprattville will
be supplied from a 6-inch pipe
which will probably run direct
from the nearby standpipe to
the most convenient point along
the street, Along each of the
pipe lines hydrants are to be
erected at intervals of 500 feet,
which would require the water
to be carried only $50 feet
through the hose to reach fire
equally distant from any two
hydrants. Water for domestic
use would, of course, be OBJ
tanned from connections fronting
the residences along the several
streets.
The fact should be borne in
mind, however, that the board of
public works will not be COM
PEELED to follow the plans out
lined by the engineer. The
board doubtless will find it
profitable to make certain
changes, or a complete change,
in the plans.

Must Cash Checks Promptly.

Under the negotiable instru-
ment law, now operative in
South Carolina. the three days
of grace" convenience has been
abolished and other important
changes relative to notes and
checks are in force.
The law was passed by the
general assembly March d and is
identically the same in several
paragraphs as similar laws in
other States. While the pro-
visions are of chief concern to
bankers, the public is also in
terested in the changes. Copies
of the law have been received in
Columbia and bankers have been
making themselves familiar with
the provisions.
According to the negotiable
instrument law, unless a check
is presented for payment within
a reasonable time after its issue
the drawer is relieved of liability
to the extent of the loss oc-
casioned by tardiness. This is
considered very important. 1t
is said that some people have a
habit of holding checks, drawn
in their favor, for a considerable
period and that this practice is
very bothersome. When checks
are held back the matter of ad-
justing balances at the bank is
at times of some concern. The
provisions of the law do not, of
course, apply to notes. drafts,
checks drawn before it's passage.

COTTON FARMERS URGED
TO KEEP ACREAGE DOWN

South Carolina farmers are
being strongly advised by w. w.
Long, State agent of demonstra-
ton and superintendent of the
extension division of Clemson
college, not to plant an acre more
in cotton than they planted last
year. This advice is based by
Mr.. Long on reports received at
Washington which show that, at
the present rate, this years crop
will be an enormous one and the
office of demonstration work at
Clemson college is Fastening to
urge the farmers of this State
not to follow the lead of other
sections in what appears almost
certain to be a losing policy.
Reports which have been pour
ing into Washington from many
parts of the South show that
Southern farmers, acting on the
strength, it is believed, of the
good prices received on the last
crop, and not content with hold
ing the crop at this figure and
receiving equally good or only
slightly lower prices, intend to
increase their acreage all along
the line. Though it is too early
for definite estimates, it appears
probable the crop raised will be
too large for the market to bear,
provided the present policy of
the farmers continues.
THE time when everybody
else is raising lot of cotton is
just the time for us not to raise
a lot of it," said Mr.. Long in
discussing the situation. This
principle holds true in any busi-
ness. We are not urging the
farmer to cut his cotton acreage,
for we wish to proceed con-
servatively. But what we are
urging upon him and urging as
strongly as we can is the danger
of planting any more cotton than
he planted last year.
Let him put the same amount
of land in cotton again if he
wishes to, and, with the con-
stantly improving conditions of
soil fertility in the State, it is
likely that we shall make more
cotton than last year even then,
probably a million and a half
bales, which is quite as much
cotton as South Carolina is called
upon to produce, or has any
right to produce.
Besides the consideration Of
immediate price. Mr.. Long
pointed out that it was the part
of wisdom for South Carolina
planters, especially those in the
lower part of the State, to begin
policy of retrenchment in cot
ton growing and to have their
diversification policy well es-
tablished in order to present a
good defense to the boil weevil
when 1T arrives.

NEGROES LOSING GROUND
SAYS CENSUS EXPERT.

Solution of the negro problem
through the difference in natura
increase of the white and blacl
races in the United States j,
foreseen by Walter F. Wilcox,
special agent of the United
States census bureau and chief
statistician of the 18th census.
He points out that the negroes
are steadily losing ground
throughout the South, both by
immigration of whites and by
their own declining birth rate.
They are losing ground still more
rapidly in the North, and there
is thus reason to believe that
nature will solve the race prob
lem in her usual way, by the
survival of the fttest.
That the white race is slowly
displacing the negroes in the
United States is now well
known" Mr.. Wilcox writes.
The more rapid increase of the
whites is due not only to the
influx of hundreds Of thousands
of white immigrants, but also to
the fact that in the registration
area of 1910-an area including
three-ffths of the whites and
m ore than one-fifth of the ne
groes, and so a fair index of con-
ditions in the country at large
the negro death rate exceeded
the white by about two-thirds. "
Furthermore, during the
years since 1880 the excess
in the proportion of negro chill
dren over white children in the
country has likewise been fall
ing. The present difference in
fecundity between the races is
little more than one-fourth of
that in 1880, and at the present
rates of change it will have dis
appeared entirely before the
next census is taken"
The decline is largely due to
negro emigration to the cities,
the statistician thinks. The
fecundity of city negroes is only
about two-thirds that of city
whites. but the fecundity of
country negroes is much above
that of country whites. The
negroes loss of ground is further
hastened by their tendency to
migrate North, where the fe-
cundity of all races is lower than
it Is in the South.
The evidence, then" Mr..
Wilcox concludes, points to a
differential natural increase as
an important factor. factor, in
my opinion. at least as important
as immigration, in determining
the present and future relative
proportions of the two main
races of this country"
