VOLUME. VII. i P L^JL# ?NI TRIBUTE TO THE BOM S. BRYAN. GKEKX\lLLi:s It A It DKOLARB8 . ITS REWARD AND ADMIRATION For the Judge Who for "Fourtwa Horrible Years Stood the Principal Barrier Between Us and the Kncroaohmenta of Power. " At a meeting of the Greenville Bkr, held in honor of the late Hon. Geo. B. Bryan, the following memorial and resolution." were unanimously adopted: l??kiufl[ back upon the history of our State tho most casual reader mmt recognize that to tho membors of tho legal profession belongs tho credit of some of our greatest and best reforms, and that to them we owe a debt of gratitude for the extrication of the polony 6$ well as the State from some of her greatest perils. In tho early .history of tho colony,- for instanoe at a period when it seemed that the little community,' surrounded by savages and remote from tho mother country, ?was about to be? corrupted and lost tinder the influence of the gold of was Chief Justice Trott jjf ho, by his course upon the Bench, puljlio Huiitiuieut a?4 finally succoede&'with tho aid />f the Bar, in hrin|dag/tho letfdorsto uislico. Again, tae closo of tho war for indepen dent), when tho victorious party was revenge mut tho Stato was fa<uf*u rifting to civil war, it was the voice of Judge Burke, from tho Cir cuit Bench, that called a halt, and by the fearlessness of his conduct and impartiality of his rulingu brought all ri<Prt thinking mon to a realization of tho danger, aud restored peuoo and prospority to the country. Theso are but two instances of tho inUucttfco of -? 4he Bench. Many moro might "bo .^itocl, but none moro staking than the judicial career of the 1crud, good man .in, honor of whom wo are assembled fcere to-day. Wo say his judicial career, f?r while other Judges in this -7 Btat > havo been called upon to iheet particular emergencies. J udgo Bryau for fourteen horrible years stood the principal, and at times tho only bar rier between us and the encroach mouts <y of power, Having been n consistent opponent of secession, ho could with truth take tho oath that ho felt tio sympathy "with a wnf for secession, but hi8 heart was over aud at all timos^n deepest sympathy with the su fieri ng? of his people, and absolutely loyal to v the causo of constitutional liberty and pke rights oj^thex'itizens. When ho took his sent upon the Bench there sat at his sido a Circuit Jiidgoinfull sympathy with., me do minant party. At tho door, w\might say, were the jbayonots of tho United -' Stales army.' Near by was a military tribunal claiming jurisdiction in all ?criminal matters. In Washington a Congress determined to revolutionize tho Stato Government. Tho question was immediately presented whether th? civil powejr had priority over the ? military, and- Judge- Bryan met it in a manner worthy of tfll praise. Although prevented by brnto force from enforcing, the jjrocess of tho Court, yet his com so was such as to " arrest tho attention of tho North, and to set,in motion those influences which' finally brought us -relief. In opposing tho efforts mado tq drive tho Bar. out of the Courts, tho infamous Enforce mentyVet, the attempts to deprive tho eitizcT^ of the Stato of tho right of trial by jury of" the vicinage? iu all . tbeBo strugles (each of tllem of vital importance to tho country) Judge Bryau was a tower of strength in be half of the right. Not until tho oflfow tion of a Democrat to tho " oflico of President ofi tho United* States did these persecutions come to an ond,and :~only then did Jndgo Bryan think of retiriug. This he determined upon in 1886. He had reached tho age w hen repose is tho ruling desiro of man. .Though his mind was still sound, his spowy locks aud slightly bent figuro attested that he bore upon him tho weight, of years. Ho enjoyed tho love - and veneration of his family and friends. He haft tho right by law to ; retire upon full pay, and amid tho plaudits of the entire State ho steppod ? down from tho seat lie had so long adorned. After his retirement he re turned once moro to ^ho quiot, modest Iifc>6f which ho was almost fond. ..Surrounded l>y a devoted family tho . downward path of life, though accom paniod by physical "labor and pain," the common ichertianceof alLmankind who attained lo four scoro ^<Vrs, was ptrowu With mauy*flowor?. On the 28th day of September, at Lis summer home, ho passed away in the.midst of those he loved. It is this event that wo have met to commemo rate In doing so we do honor, no "" only to him, but to ourselves our pro feeaion of our State, of which he was a dintingnished native, andX i worthy ex . ample to all men.

Bauer, director of tho Weath ev Bureau, has jwbt issued tho follow ing summary for September : The past month was noted as being the warmest September in tho interior of * the State, of w hich record ia available. Along tho^oast, tho mean temperature was exceeded by that of 1881 only, in the annals of the Weather Bureau. Tho oxcess of heat ocourred mainly during tho daytime as the night tem perature differed but little from thoso usual to September. The month was remarkable for the number of days with maximum tompcrutures of 00 or above, the averago tor tho Stato hav ing boon' 11 daysT ranging from three at Port Royal to 27 at Shaw's Forks. Thoro was n period of from 8 to 11 cousocutivo days on which tho maxi - mum temporaturo foached 00 or abOvo in the central portions of tho State, which was the greatest heat-wavo over recorded in tho same month, and sel dom surpassed during the hottest months. There was only 26 per oentum of tho usual rainfall and it was not well distributed. Over a narrow strip ex tending from Beaufort into Charleston county, there was a slight excess; omitting- this email territory, thcro wus only 18 per centum of tho usual amount for tho rest of tho State. Three stations reported no nun, and eight others less than half an inch. AlLtRe rain fell before tho middle of the month, followed by an unprece dented period of clear, hot weather that quickly dried tho ground and brought tho growth of fall crops to a standstill; cutting short such crops as usually como to maturity by the .cml of September. Tho top-crop of cotton and lato root crops sustained tho grentoBt injury J pastures U^camo brown and bare; streams ran very low, 'and wolls went dry in a fow localities. The drought was most, sovero in tho western portions of tho State. Tho month was favorable for harvesting, and especially for picking cotton, tho dry weather mado it possibLe to sccuro the lint in the fiuekj. condition. It was1* too dry for late Corn and peas.

Under authority of a joint resolution oftho Legislature of .South Carolina, passed Decern i i r 'J'J, 189-1, \iz: "That thu GcKor lK'r be, ami here hy authorized to appoint a commis sion of ooo or morn suitable persons 'to select designs and places v>f location for monuments to troops from South Caroliua, ?h recommended by tho Chiokamaugu commit' sion.

U. I. "Walker, Major J. D, McLucas and Capt. 0. K. Henderson. Tho commission has deoided to reoommeud to t ho Legislature tho erco* tion of the following monuments: One principal monument, comuiomorativo of the valor of all tlio South Caroli nians engaged in the battle, to bo placed on Dyer's Knoll, the spot where KtTcliaw^s brigade matlo a most glo rious and victorious charge, and a con spicuous posit ion on tho Held ; ouo of fltnaUqr size, oaoh, to Kershaw's brig ade, to be placed whoro they fought tho whole afternoon on Suodgrass Range; ono to tho South Carolina reg iments, (I nth and 10th) of Manigault's brigade, to bo orccted where they fought for three hours on Bnodgrass Range; ouo to 1 1j o South Carolina regiments, (10th and 24th,) Gist's brigade, anyone to Culpepper's Bat tery, tho position oftho last two to bo designated hereafter. That to Ker shaw's brigade, being to tho largest number of South Carolinians, to bo tho largest of these four, to Mauigayjt's and Gist's smaller, and to (^ulpeppers battery smaller still. J?ef these four monuments Jho q<5m mission rather favor a design somewhat similar to tho monument to Battery I, XJ . S. artillery, now on the battlefiomr^K^.^ All the monuments aro proposed to be made of South Carolina granite, of the most enduring kind, to be without 'any ornamentation which will be in jured by tho wear -of the olements and time, to have no sharp edges, the blocks of stone to be joined in the most secure and lasting method, all lettering, otc., to be out in and no raised letters to be used, and every thing to be of the most substantial and permanent workmanship and ma terial. The past record of all bidders will be considered as to thoir habit of doing thorough work. Tho larger monument to have on it, in some ap propriate place, tho palmotto, our State emblem. Tho Legislature has made no ap propriation of any moneys nor indi cated in any way how much it will appropriate. The appointment of tho commission in 1803, whioh established tho position of South Carolina troops on tho battlefield, and of this com mission on monuments, shows that it intends to do something, andrthe com mission expects liberal treatment at its hands and a generous dotpdion to tho noble men who fought and died on this, one of tlio most desperate and bloody battlefields of tho world's his tory. It is advised that such designs ?be submitted as will make tho total cost of tho monuments erectj^S, on tho battlefield botweon 39,000 and $12,000. Larger estimates will be received and coDsidored, but it is doubtful if they can bo passed, even if submitted to tlio Lcgislatere.* Tho Chiekamauga Park commission will furnish tho sand and brokjjn stoue necessary for tho foundat#*?lfs. ? Esti mates must bo for tho monuments erected on tho battlefield at Chieka mauga. Designs with estimates, or designs without estimates, but accompanied with an approximate idea of costs, given by a reliable and experienced builder of monnmeuts, will be received by Geii. C. I. AValkor,-3 Broad street, Charleston, S. C., if delivered to him, sealed, by Novomber 8, 1895. They will bo opened and passed upon at a irieeting of/lhe commission to bo held about November 12. It must' bo distinctly understood that tho commission does not bind itself to aocept any design orestjmate.^ It can return tho siyuo only at owners' costs, and the designs selected will have to be submitted to tho Legisla ture. No financial engagement can be m?ule until the Legislature has mado appropriation and given authority to contract, etc. C. I. Wai?K*B, J. D. MoLtjoas, C.

The mean tem perature of tho wouk, doduoed from 88 station reports, was 03.5 aud tho nor mal for tho sumo period is upproxi- ' mutely OS, 5. ? j There wero frosts on the 1st, 2nd und 8rd, roaohing from the extreme western portions of tho State into tho central aud northeastern counties \ where, however, but little or noinjury ! resulted. In tho western and extreme northern counties the frost was heavy, killing pea viuos, sweet potato vines,' very Into corn, and what ootton leaves that remained greeu, but it was not cold euongh to injure ootton bolls. Ihoro w as an entire Absence of rain duriug tho week aud the drought.be came greatly . iutou&ifled. r Over the wlmle^Ststo there has uot beon more i awibest a trace of rain sinoe from the tfth^ ftiu 142th of September, and in many places tliero has been no bene ficial rain siueo tho 23d of August. The effect of tho drought has been to out short tho pea crop; stop the growth I of cotton and out off tho toporopj pre- ' vent lato corn frfttn filling properly; to out off tho yield of tweet potatoes, es timated at from one-fourth to one third; to greatly reduce, if not to mako an entire failure, of all root orops in general; to reduco tho of molasses from sorghum and sugar oauo; to ruin fall gardens; to keep back the growth of winter vegetables on the coast truck farms; and to pro veut tho sowing of smal^grains. How ever, tho long continued dry, sunny weather gave excellent opportunity for making hay of all varieties and a very largo fodder crop was saved in tho very best condition} for drying out and housiug corn; for picking ootton, which uiiido rapid progress, and tho lint has been saved in ft beautiful con ditio^ and tof general harvost work. Thero,\vajij^almo8t continuous clear weather tho whole week, on tho 7th alone was tho sky obscured by clouds iu tho western portion. The condition of tho various orops remains practically unchanged at the end of tho week. Rapid progress was made in picking ^uul harvesting cotton, so that it is generally reported from tho eastern portions of tho State that at least two thirds of the orop;hus boon pioked and ' a largo pro] ortion of it marketed. What remains in tho fields, in that section, io all open, and picking will bo finished in from two to thrcoweoks, if the weather remains favorable. In tho western portion of tho Stato pick-/ ing is less advanced, but oven thoro nearly tho whole orop is open, and picking and marketings beiug pushed. Tho prevailing satisfactory prion of cotton causing tho farmers to sell as fast as gathered. Ap.picking advance* towards completion the smallness of tho crop becomes more and inoro ap parent. Tbero is little more to add to what has boon said of corn in previous bulletins. Husking and housing has beeu carried on to somo extent, but tho weather has been' such that corn did not demand immediate attention, was, in fact, better conditioned in tho hu?k thau it would have boon iu the crib. Tho crop is largo ..enough to supply the needs of tho State, with possibly a surplus. Tho entiro season has favored tho harvesting of rice, and that work is practically completed on tho coast and river plantations; upland rice failed rapidly during Soptombcr, and is ripening vorg unsatisfactorily. Peas of late^ffiintiug did not till well, and wilj be 1 iC short crop. Early peas yielded- wen. Sweet potatoos aud socond crop of Irish potatoes are yielding very poorly generally, although quito well in places. Tho growing soanon is now practi cally ended und littlo change can occur in tho condition of the differ ent crops not yet entirely -gathorcd. It is unnecessary to review /the seasou as a whole, as a fllo of these bulletins is a better record, except to say that, everything considered, tho fanners of South Carolina have abun dant reason to feel satisfied with tho season's results, for while some crops were undoubtedly short others woro correspondingly largo. Although the weather conditions may not have been perfect, and the crops might have beon larger, yet l?w, if any; States fared better, whi'e many fared Worse. Tho entire ab sence of destructive storms of wind, rain, or hail is worthy of notice. j Note. ? With this issue, tho SoaJifi Carolina weather and crop Jnrt)6Gng are discontinued for tho &?rfon of 1895.
