POLITICS AT Low EBB.
Picnic at Filbeyt Draws Crowd
Below Normal.

That York county people are
less interested i'll politics this
year than in decade or more
seems justifiable Inference from
the Filbert picnic last Thursday,
says u York special. Though
given wide publicity and having
Tor the speakers of the occasion
we'll known public men who have
formerly proved great drawing
cards. the attendance was disap-
pointing, numbering little more
than half the crowd that assem-
bled there in 1917, the year of
the last previous picnic.
And not only was the crowd
below the normal in size, but it's
spirit was distinctly different.
There was little evidence of par
tilan feeling or of keen political
VtereSt. Caustic criticisms of
men and measures failed to evoke
the vociferous demonstrations of
other days. The crowd was apa-
thetic in ItS attitude toward par
tiZanShip. 1t was sober, re
Elective gathering. decidedly less
emotional than the usual assem-
blage there.
The changed attitude of the
crowd, some observers thought.
prcSaged the dawning of new
day III South Carolina politics,
ore III which the people will think
Tore. talk less and discount per-
f"rvld appeals from the hustings.
Whatever it may mean, and there
Is room for a difference of opin-
iCn. there is no doubt that sub
lccts such as crops. roads and the
price OF cotton overshadowed
politics at Filbert Thursday.

REACHES YORK FIELDS.
Boil Weevil Establishes Self in
Various Sections of County.

That the boil weevil is steadily
pushing it's invasion of York
county, having extended it's ac-
tIvitles to new localities in the
last few days. was the informa-
ton given out Il day or two ago

stration agent. The pest has
made it's appearance in spots in
southern and eastern York and
is rapidly widening the area of
It's operations. There is abso-
lutely no doubt of the identity of
the invader as the entomologiSts
of Clemson college have pro-
nounced it the weevil.
while no appreciable damage
Will result to the cotton crop of
the county this year unless there
Is wet August. the outlook is
anything but promising for next

expected to completely cover the

OLD CRIME RECALLED.

people now living in this commu-

terry that has never been cleared

was committed during the Civil
war close to the spot OH which
the tatawba Indian monument
stands i'll Confederate park. Not
many, perhaps, but it is fact
nevertheless. Two men. one of
whom bore the name Brezeale.
the other Baugh. drifted into the
community some time after the
war started. do not recall how
1t happened that they were not
in the Confederate army. Neither
had any relatives here. so far as
WAS known and neither appar-
entity had very much business i'm
the community. 1t was stated at
lhr time, that both were reluctant

lEat too was Il matter which mel

their relationship led up TO the
b, lief that at some time in life
IhrN had crossed each other $
path.
One Saturday afternoon the

and shot Baugh through the

Zralr Immediately ran away and
lhal was the last ever heard of

il was much easier to commit
