When the Yankees Came
May 1st is an anniversary
which recalls days of long ago
to some citizens in Anderson.
One May day nearly 50 year ago
the pupils of Miss Harber's
school were enjoying a picnic
near where the cemetery now
is when the peace of the day
was disturbed by the cry "The
* Hankees are in town."
That was in May 1865, after
war was over, really, but there
was a gang of bummers, socall
ed raiders, going through the
country terrifying women and
children. Mr. C. C. Langston.
known and loved of all people
in Anderson called attention to
the signiificance of the anniver
sary.-Daily Mail.
Fertilizer Sales Increase
The sale of fertilizer in South

during the past sever 1
weeks and the iniciat ie a -
that the total amut~ to &

earlier in the season Thie
cords in the state treasurer's ol
fice show that $202,0'73 has been
received so far from the sc lef

cents a ton on fertilizer. This

There will be no election this

Church Built in One Day.
Spartanbnrg, May 1.-Spar
tanburg's Methodist church was
built today between sunrise and
dusk. In a handsome building
at the corner of South Church
street and Crescent Avenue, not
a stick of which had been stand
ing 14 hours before, 800 people(
worshipped tonight, while three
times'that many stood outside,
vainly seeking to enter. Althc
built in a single day, El-Bethel
church is as substantial a struc
ture, the carpenters agreed, as
if six months had been devoted
to the job. It is a far hand
somer building, according to
Major Augustus H. Kirby, 8:
years old, than the first Meth
odist church erected in this city,
which was dedicated in 1836 and
took a year to build.
With carpeted aisles, mission
style pews, an altar decorated
with flowers, a piano in the
choir loft and all the other re
quisites in place, the interior of
the church last night presented
as finished an appearance as the
exterior, which was neatly
painted in white, with green
trimmings.

No Election for Clarendon.
Manning, May 2.-For some
time past petitions have been
out in this county for signatures
asking for an election on the
question of reestablishing the
dispensary, which was voted
out four years ago. Yesterday
the time limit expired and it
was ascertained that enough
signatures had not been secured

Taft Speaks in This State.
En route from Savannah and
Augusta to Washington, Presi
dent Taft last weeik addressed
crowds at the railn ay stationTs
in three South Carolina towns
-Florence, Dillon and Sumter.
The president was well received,
and in each instance seemed to
make a hit with those who had
,athered to hear him.
The president touched but
lihti on politics and campaign
issues, his main point at Flor
(ence being that prosperity
should be preserved through
good government. He also t
spoke in opposition to innova- t
tions, in this point apparently s
hitting at Col. Roosevelt -and
his newly propounded theories.
At Sumter Mr. Taft repeated f
his remark, made notable dur- b
ing his visit to the Soutb short- t
1v after his election, that there c
were many in the South who t
voted one way and prayed 9
another.
At Dillon he paid a tribute to 3
the memory of Maj. Archibald v
Butt, who went down with the n
ill-fated Titanic.
Wall Street's Cheap Money. C
Susiness men who borrow at
the banks in the South pay, on
the average, 2! per cent more
for io .cy than do business
men in the Eastern States, ac
cording to the reports filed at
Washington by 6,000 national
banks. When we compare the
rates paid by farmers, ner
chants and manufacturers in
this section of the United States d
with those paid by speculators r
in Wall Street, the difference is a
even more marked. Interest s
rates on the New York Stock ti
Exchange are often as low as r
21 per cent -* hen men engaged s
in productive industries in the I
South are paying from 6 per s
cent to 10 per cent for bank V
funds with which to carry on -
business. It certainly is a bad- a
ly-oroanized banking system G
hat causes such wide variation X
in rates in differen t
ns of the country. This n

Boost for Good Roads-.t
Washington, D. C.-The c:
House has aided the national d
good roads movement by passing a
a provision in the postoffice ap- C
propriation bill which would S
grant a subsidy to all highways ~
used in the rural free delivery "
mail service. These roads J
would be divided in three classes, e'
with subsidies of $25, $20 and S
15 a mile. It is estimated the
cost of the first year would be s<
16.000,000 to $18,000,000. P
