week reached a decision as to the

a site up the river from this point.
its selection having been based on the
topography. the cost of construction,
the approach Of the highway on both

ceed with plans for the bridge and IL

FARM MONEY BILL
MAY he BLOCKER.
Outlook for Measure to Provide Re
lief for Agriculture Not Very
Bm&ht-

Washington, June 17.-Congress-
man w. F. Stevenson of Cheraw, said
to-day that the Republican leaders in
the House ARE blocking the import
ant bill which passed the Senate for
the deposit of $50 ,o00, 900 Of govern
.mept funds with the Federal Farm
Loan Board to enable it to sgo ahead
with loans preliminary to the issue
vof another $4,000 400 of bonds NEXT
September. About a week ago the
House banking and currency commit
tee Of which he is a member, voted
to report the bill fagorably, although
the majority cof the Republican rmBm-
.bers OF the committee, including the
chairman, voted adversely.
At the behest of the Republican
.steefng committee, Mr.. Stevenson
says. Congressman Nelson, of Wis
'consin. who was instructed to report
the bin. withheld action and got THE
Republican commfttaemen together
for reconsideration. The result OF
this was q compromise on a bill for
"A deposit of not more than s26l000,-
600, but carrying a joker which
would really have prevented the de-
posit OF more than $16j000,00O and
which would have been entirely ur.-
satisfactory to the Fam Loan Board
Today the Democrats on the COM
mittee, with the aid of a minority of
Republicans, caused the joker to be
eliminated from the compromise
proposition, and they will continue
their fight to have the bill reported
according to the original instruction
of the committee. They feel. however,
that the opposition of the Republican
steering committee makes their fight
a very difficult one.

ANDREWS SUFFERS
DAMAGE BY STORM.
Roofs Blown Off and Houses Damag-
ed by Heavy Wind. Crops
Need Rain


Andrews, June 20-Andrews was
visited Sunday afternoon by severe
wind and electrical storm, but no one
was seriously injured. One negro
nan sustained bruises on his head
and limbs from roofing which was
blown from the Farmers tobacco
warehousee. The wind blew open a
door of this warehouse and carried
away a considerable portion of the
roof, rafters and all. A porch roof
on the north side of a storage build
ing was blown up and over the build
ing. some of it landing in Main street
and some landing in the back yard of
a residence lot two or three hun
dred yards away. A few trees were
BROKEN off or uprooted. One new
dwelling was considerably damaged,
and many telephones put out of COM
mission. Although only a light rain
fell. still the farmers of this section
were glad to see 1T as their crops,
and especially tobacco have suffered
from several weeks of dry weather
All crops are unusually small and late
for this time, and it appears now that
even with favorable weather condi-
tiCns not more than two thirds of a!
normal crop of tobacco will be pro-
duced.

Sells Corn to Officers.

Spartanburg, June 15-Yesterday
afternoon while court was in session
a man giving his name as Bud Hen
ley walked up to a man who he
thought looked thirsty and asked If
he did not want to buy a pint. There
was another man standing near and
he was asked the same question. The
men solicited happened to be rural
policemen, Maud McAbee and Hor-
ace Hatchett.
The officers went with the man to
get the pure corn and were taken
back of the Salvation Army hall to
a vacant lot where Roland Harris,
all old offender, handed out the booze
to the officers. The men and booze
were taken into custody and cases
were made against both of them.
This. it Is thought, is the first time
that a record has been made of a
bootlegger soliciting an officer in the
court room itself

Dempsey's income tax for 100000

SHOWER OF METEORS TO
FALL ON EARTH SHORTLY

Wfmecke's Comet Will Be Visible
Wednesday and Will Throw off
Particles the Following Tuesday; {;
Comes Within About Nine Million
Miles of the Earth.
Next Wednesday this old earth
starts its journey through one of the
most hazardous portions of it's long
circuit around the sun, and between
that day and next Monday it is to pass
within speaking distance with the
comet" officials of
the weather bureau announce.
The worlds astronomers are now
holding their breath for a bump that
is IN store for them and the rest, for
that matter, If the two huge bodies
should get close enough to collide.
And even should the earth and this
comet fail to hit, and the men of the
stars do not believe they will it is
stated definitely that 5he earth is to
pass Through the tail of the comet
with n more ,or less exciting result.
|, The comet will be visible beginning
wednesday and on the following
tuesday meteors are expected to
rain down." the weather bureau men
declare. 1t is expected that the
earth win pass within 9 900, 900 miles
or Winnecke's comet and at that

The breath+taking feature of all
this is the fact that the tail of this
comet Is about two million miles long
and is composed of small particles
about the size of a 9,6OO-tnn steam
ship. These particles are all OF
white heat and are travelling at the
rate OF million miles a month and
II certainly will not be entertaining
to pass through a few hundred thous-
and miles of these. 1t is expected that
the meteors VIII begin to fam when
they concentrate near the big diper
They will begin to fall next Tuesday.
