BILL OF MUCH IMPORTANCE

Washington, February 25.-The
water power bill now before the SEN
ate is a measure which may become
of vital Importance to the whole
country at large. Senator Smith, of
South Carolina, has been working
with experts of the department of
agriculture upon amendments to the
measure which will enable the gov
ernment to take over the control and
use of the water powers of the ma
ton for the benefit Of the people. In
his amendments Senator Smith con-
templates the use of the water powers
by the government for the produc-
ton of munitions of war in time of
war and in time of peace their use,
under proper governmental control
in the manufacture of fertilizers.
The proposed plan is wide in its
scope and vastly important, and be-
cause of these facts the senator is
proceeding slowly in his suggestions.
He has had numerous conferences
with the officials of the department,
and in conjunction with them legis-
lation looking to the above ends is
being framed.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
MCCORMICK ACT
LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZES NEW
WRIT-AWAIT ORDER OF
COURT.

Columbia, S. c.. Feb. 24.-Carry-
ing the provision that the act shall
not 20 into effect until after favor
able decision by the supreme court
in the appeal from the decision of the
State board of canvassars, the act
to establish Mccormick county has
been signed by Gov. Manning. 1t is
further provided that the act shall
not be construed ss affecting any
question before the supreme court.
Mccormick county, as proposed, is
situated along the banks of the Sa-
vannah river and was formed from
parts of Greenwood, Abbeville and
Edegefeld counties. The county is at
tached to the Third congressional dis
trict, consisting of Abbeville, Green
wood, Anderson, Pickens and Oconee
and to the Eleventh judicial circuit,
consisting of Saluda, Edgefeld and
Lexington.
The new county will be entitled to
one representative and one senator.
Abbeville county, which is now repre-
sented by three men in the lower
house, will hereafter be represented
by two; the other counties remain the
same.
The act creates the following board
of commissioners: ]. E. Britt, T. J.
Price, J. T. Fooche, ]. B. Harmon, R
F. Morris. J. Kennedy, L N. Cham
berlain, Warren Mcdaniel and W: r.
Parks. The preliminary requisites
for the formation of the new county,
the matter of government, etc., are
placed in the hands of this body. If
the pending suit is favorably decided
by the supreme court there will be
a special election April II, 1916,
when county officers will be elected
until the results of the general cleo
ton in November have been affirmed.
The governor is authorized to ap-
point a special commission of seven
members, one each from Edgefield,
Abbeville, Greenwood counties, two
from Mccormick county and two
from other counties, who shall divide
and apportion between the new coun-
ty and the old counties the present
lawful and bona fde indebtedness OF
the old counties. ~
The county will have seven town.

BRUSHY CREEK MAN THOUGHT
DEAD 35 YEARS REAPPEARS

Brushy Creek, Feb. 24.-Mr. John
Smith, a one time prosperous farmer
of Brushy Creek, who 35 years or
more ago mysteriously disappeared,
leaving behind him a wife and five
children, has returned to his family.
1t is said he had been considered
dead by his relatives, as they had
not heard from him since he went
away.
The older residents of this part of
the county can recall Mr.. Smiths
singular disappearance. He had
gone to Greenville during the Christ
mas holidays of 81 to purhcase a few
things for his family, carrying with
him load of cotton. He never re-
turned.
When he left home Mr.. Smith was
only 35 years old. He is now seven
ty. He is said TO have accumulated
considerable property in Tennessee,
where he had been in exile, and it is
considered possible that he will take
his family to that. state. His child
rem have been grown now for a num-
Der of years.-W. w. Fleming, Corr.

WHY MCCORMICK?

We agree with the Columbia Re-
cord in the suggestion that the pro-
posed new county with Mccormick
as the county seat. should be given
some other name than Mccormick.
The meme Mccormick is not in any
way identified with South Carolina
history, and it is not especially hon
ored in the town which now bears the
name.
There are many names glorious in
our state history which have not been
honored by having counties named
after them. We do not care to
suggest any particular name to the
people of the proposed new county,
but we do think they should agree
upon a name more appropriate In
every way than Observation-Disclosures

PRINTING PRICES SOARING

much surface with a pound of ink.
It isn't unusual for an average
catalog to soak up $25 to $50 worth
of plain black ink. That goes into
your bill. Ten per cent on the ink
cost alone makes enough to think
about seriously. Many a printer
has lost an order because he was a
couple of dollars high on the kind. of
ink he wanted to use.
Same thing when it comes to pa

Cover stocks, weighing from sixty
to a hundred pounds ream, and al
most invariably in colors, have gone
up the same way. The difference is
plainly from a dollar to perhaps flve
dollars a ream of 500 sheets.
Even type is more expensive, be-,
cause it contains metals affected
strongly by war conditions.
Photographs will cost more and
may be impossible to get because the
supply of developers of certain kinds
is almost exhausted. =,
