BLEaSE SEES THINGS
COMING BLEASE'S WAY

IF the primaries were held to-
day, / am confident that | would
be chosen the nominee Of the
people of South Carolina for their
governor by a majority ranging
from 25, ZOO to 5O,OOO," declared
former governor, Cole l.. Blease,
to Charlotte Observer reporter
Thursday while spending the day
in Charlotte.
There is statewide dissat s.
faction in South Carolina tc lay
as the result of the present Man
ming administration Of atfairs, ("
declared Governor Lease. The
reco~"= = .ne solicitors show
that in 1915 there were more
homicides in South Carolina and
more crimes Of even more ag-
gravated nature than ever be-
fore. This is but the outcropping
of lawlessness that has existed
and is continuing to exist under
the present administration Of af-
fairs. The manning regime.
which went into power supposed
ly on law and order platform
has become a farce and the peo-
pie OF the state are coming to
realize this more and more as the
days go by. | am therefore stat
ing nothing but the simple truth
when | declare that the dissatis-
faction is statewide and if the
primaries were held today
would defeat Gov Manning"
Speaking of the coming cam
paign Mr.. Blease said: - | hope
that we will be able to conduct
the campaign on a high plane
where issues and principles will
be discussed and not personalities
This is going to be my aim and
hope that l will be permitted to
keep to this high plane. OF
course, if l am attacked and if
those who are opposing me in
dulge in personalities, recrimi-
nations and the like, then shall
be compelled to answer in kind,
but it will be against my will
and wish"

Will Increase Grain Crop.

The lack of fertilizers in this
section and the high price, to-
gether with the advanced prices
on flour. are having a wholesome
effect throughout the county
and entire sections, according to
a Mecklenburg farmer, who de-
clares that these combined
causes not only have stimulated
interest in wheat and grain
growing. but that the present
year will see many more acres
planted in wheat than ever
before.
The price of flour which has
been at a high-water mark for
some months, and the high price
of commercial fertilizers; thus
interfering no little with cotton
planting, will have the effect of
bringing the attention of farmers
to wheat raising and the ex-
pected result is that there will
be many additional acres planted
in wheat. oats and other grain.
The spring wheat crop which
was planted last fall is said to be
a good sized one, and still greater
increases in the acreage devoted
to grain are looked for by farm
ers in this section for the reasons
given above. Charlotte News.

A Wonderful Operation.

Mrs. Harvey Steele, of Ian
caster, the last week at the Rock
Hill hospital underwent an ordeal
which would have seemed too
much for one of less will power
than herself. The operation con-
sisted of the removal of a tumor
weighing 65 pounds, and no
anaesthetics were used.
Mrs. Steele is 70 years of age
She has borne her suffering with
patience, showing great ell
durance and at last reports her
condition was regarded as salts

There has been a lot of grip,

again. He just gets out of one
bad spell into another, it seems.
And the Fort Mill doctors seem
to have gone on a strike. That
is too bad. Well, our advice has
not been sought in the case, but
we give it anyway. Now, if
they are too thick to thrive, they
should be thinned oUt to one stalk

APPROPRIATION BILL
CALLS FOR LESS MONEY

In keeping with a resolution
passed the first day of the
session. the ways and means
committee of the state legislature
has effected a considerable
saving to the people of the state
in practicing economy in making
appropriations. 1t is not be-
lieved, however, that any Of the
departments will be crippled by
this use of the pruning knife.
The appropriation bill was
introduced in the house Saturday
by the ways and means COM
mittee, and it is said that the
bill will call for state tax levy
of six and one half mills. against
a levy of seven mills last year.
All expensive undertakings were
excluded from the appropriations
allowed.
The appropriation bill carries
about 81, 37S. 900. The various
institutions and departments of
the state government asked for
So. l24, 900. The special taxes
raise about 100000
No provision was made in the
bill for a new dormitory at Win
thr"p college, all building projects
being eliminated by the com
mittee. 1t was expected that
a fight would be put up in the
house to have additional items
inserted but it was thought that
the bill would pass substantially
as it was introduced.
The House Friday morning
killed the bill by Mr.. Moore, OF
Abbeville. to define the liability
of various corporations to thei.
employees on a yea and nay
vote OF "a to 81. The bill was
on third reading and the motion
to recommit was carried after {
strong presentation or argu.
mentS.

Playground Youngsters Joy
ously Open the 1916 Sea-
son Anyway

Wet weather failed to interfere at
all with the formal opening to-day of
Harrisburg's playgrol nd season. for
1915.
Rains of the last week or so. it's
true, kept the Fourth street play
grounds out of commission. but at
every other recreation place, according
to reports received at noon by j. K.
Staples, supervisor. the youngsters
were out in force. And some of them
even carried umbrellas.
Aside from organizing the children
informally, no effort was made to-day
to get the individual play work under
way. Nor was any effort at regis
tration made to-day. This will be
taken up next Monday. PLAYGROUND
instructors took bail and bat and
tetherballs to the grounds and, figur-
atiVe!Y speaking, started the ball
a-rolling.
Before the instructors went to the
Fairgrounds Mr.. Staples met with
them in the Council chamber and ex-
nlained the instructions Wednesday
Mr.. Staples will take up the problem
OF street Fairgrounds and will likely
ask the cooperation of the highway
and police departments to set aside
certain portions of streets.

Berlin Being Prepared
For Word of Another Defeat
at Hands of Russians
Rn .4tsncintc6 Prrss

London, June 10. - Heavy fighting
between the Russians advancing to-
ward Kovel and the Germans under
General Won Linsingen is reported by
the Berlin Tageblatt correspondent at
Austrian headquarters, according to
an Amsterdam dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph Company. The Rus
slams are in superior numbers and the
dispatch asserts that the Tageblatt ac-
count of tho lighting is worded so as
to prepare Berlin for the news of an
other Teutonic retreat.
The Tagebatt says that the Aus
trians have taken up fresh positions
between CzernowitZ and the Dniester
where they are awaiting further Rus
sian attacks. In the middle Strypa
sector, on the direct line to Lemberg
the German general, Count Won Both
mer, is reported to be mainining his
resistance against heavy pressure by
the Russians.

headline on all comment in the morn
ing newspapers on the capture of
Czernowitz by the Russians. Although
forecast sometime ago the news has
been received with enthusiasm.
All the newspapers agree that the
diplomatic results of the fall of Ger
nowitz far exceeded its strategical
value. They point out that the city
is the capital of Bukowina.,--B Bukowina
has twice formed a part of Rumania
and the possibility of it's return to the
kingdom for a third time has been
eagerly seized upon by the leaders of
the pro-ally party in Rumania. The
interventionists have lost no time and
dispatches from Bucharest say that
they opened a vigorous campaign yes
terday and are confident that they will
be able to bring Premier Brationo
over to their side.

fortnight's fighting is that the Russians
hold practically straight line between
Lutsk, Buczacz and Czernowitz. The
military authorities point out that the
capture of Radiziviloff and the driving
of the enemy forces to Brody and, IN
all likelihood. further in direction of
Lemberg, will almost inevitably COM
pei the withdrawal of the Austrian
center from the Tarnopol region.
the Russians advancing across the
Volhynian- Galician frontier are. ac-
cording to the latest dispatches, less
than sixty miles from Lemberg. The
fact that Russian cavalry has been
able to occupy Radizviloff shows Aus
trian recognition of the futility of en-
deavoring seriously TO oppose the Rus
sian passage of the frontier"

evacuation of the place by the Austrian
forces.
Both Sides Lost Heavily -su
II is expected that further details
of the capture will show that both
sides suffered sanguinary losses.
Russian headquarters announces
the capture of Czernowitz in the
usual laconic terms. 1t gives no
description of the desperate fighting
known to have occurred for the cross
ings of the Pruth River after the
Austrians blew up the bridges, but
adds the interesting fact that the
Austrians are being pursued into the
CGrpathians, which is the only alter
native to being driven into Rumania,
where they would be interned.
Resume Vcrdun Attacks
German attacks on French positions
north of Nerdun have been resumed,
but the Crown Princes forces have
been prevented making any further
advance, the Paris War office an
nounced. The assault of last night
was on Hill 321. west of the Thiau-
mont farm, almost directly north of
the farm.
A further attack In force on the
Dead Man Hill sector, west of the
Meuse, apparently is in preparation,
Judging from the intensity of the Ger
man bombardment and it's prolonga-
ton.
Russians Drive On
Correspondents on the eastern front
point to the fighting along the Styr
and Stokhod, near Kolk, as crucial in
its nature. The Germans are assisting
the Austrians there in an attempt to
check the determined drive of the
Russians for the railway junction of
Kovel a vital point in the Teutonic
defensive system in that region.
Bulgarians Advance
The Havas correspondent at
Saloniki telegraphs that news has just
been received there that Bulgarian
troops in the region of Florina and
Monastir have begun an advance.
