All correspondents report cotton being ginned and marketed as fast as picked. But little rice remains in the field uncut, threshing is in full progress througout the rice district and nearly all rice mills are running to their fullest capacity. The showers during the latter part of 'ast week were followed by a decided drop in temperature and, with the exception of light local showers fair wcUhor with night temperatures below normal has prevailed since. For sugar <ane. these- conditions at this season are almost Ideal, and while the cane now being cut and ground, on account of being too green, is not yielding the quantity of sugar exited, is ripening and increasing in sugar content very rapidiy. A large additional number of mills will begin operations during the coming week. Fa 1 planting and wind-rowing sugar can; for seed is progressing. Texas?Dry, cool week, very favorable for out door work; cotton picking progressing rapidly, nearing comple lion in some luraiiura, wnuc uui half completed in other sections, com* plaints that pickers are scarce come from a few plaies; corn gathering progressing nicely; sugar cane doing well and maturing: rice harvesting continues. crop good; rain needed for truck gardening and plowing: wheat seeding is well under way and with favorable weather a good crop will be sown. Oklahoma Territory?Weather clear a-d cool and favorable for cotton picking. which progressed rapidly, scarcity cf pickers continues; light frost occurred on the Sth and 9th but the damage reported is very slight: cotton has improved in appearance and is maturing very fast. \rfcr.naas?Weather cool, light rain I general, but did not interfere seriously ! with ecton picking, which p-ogressed rapidly, picking about half completed in most sections, while in otheis it is I ucaring completion, most of the cotton is open except in a few localities where it continues to bloom and form squares light frost in some localities, no damage reported. Missi.-sippi?Cool and rainy weather, quite unfavorable for gathering cotton, opening checked, nearly through picking in places, rain and wind reduced I grade; barley, rye and oats being I sown: turnips and late gardens im? j proved: light frost in northern section ! caused no damage.

Georgia?Rain* during the early portion of the week delayed picking and did some damage to cotton, causing it to drop, and sprout in the boll, very little cotton unpicked in the southern half of the State; some wheat and oats sown; turnips gardens and pastures much improved. Florida?Week favorable for seedings and transplanting vegetables; cotton picking progressed where not delayed by rains, bulk of the crop has b?en houseu; orange shipments have begun; citrus tree* and pineapples doing well. South Carolina?Cooler, with much cloudiness and frequent rains interfered with picking the little cotton remaining in the fields, some localities report cotton blooming and fruiting freely; round in condition for plowing; June rice harvest progressing, but too i wet to thresh: minor crops improved.

TERRIP.Lt Pii.NISHMENi. I Harry A. Lankly Shoots his Own Son at (jreenviPe. Greenville .Special.?The ready pistol has been employed once more in this city, and a young white man is a: the point of death in consequence of the readiness with which his own father used the weapon, intending the ' shot for another person. Friday night between 12 and 1 o'clock Polite Sergeant Gunnels and Policeman J Brown, with Constables LaKar and Ooienian, went to the tenderloin district, near the electric power house on Broad street, for the purpose ci making a raid where liquor was supposed to be kept. The object of their search was no* attained, as the liquor was hidden out of sight, and as they were returning to the police station pistol .= hcts rang out upon the midnight air, when they quickened pace in the direc ticn of the tiring only to discover that they were too bite to apprehend the offenders against the ordinance which forbids shooting cn the highways. The men engaged in tire pistol practice had decamped, and a solitary individual whom the officers encountered on the street said that he was not concerned in the fusilade, but kindly informed Sergeant Gunnels who the guilty parties were. Armed with this information the officers continued in the direction of Main street, but it was only a short while before they heard a shot back where they came from, which was followed by cries for help evidently from a wounded man. The officers returned to the tenderloin and found Melvin Langley had been seriously if not dangerously wounded by a shot fired within a few feet by his father. Harry A. Langley who explained that he had intended the shots for another man. It seem.that Wesley Fuller and Jesse Fuller were engaged in the shooting which had first attracted the attention of the officers, and Melvin Langley allegec that they were shooting at him. which caused him to go home and acquaini his father with the circumstances Harvey Langley responded very qu^ek ly to his son's appeal for assistance and together they went back to the scene of the shooting with the intention of renewing the melee. The senior I Langley took a position in me tui uci of the chimney while the young mac went around the house, but in a few minutes the son came in sight of th< father, when the latter fired his plsto with the result of sending a 3S hal through the body cf the son. inflicting a wound from which the young mat J is supposed to he dying. Harvey Langley told the police off: j cers how the shooting occurred, am j expressed the utmost contrition for tin unfortunate deed, explaining the wheh transaction upon the theory tha* it was an accident. He was taken 1nt(< custody, however, and the patrol wag on was sent to convey the woundec ! - - - ? i son to Ms tatners nome on cietemm street, several hundred yards from tht place where he was shot. Physicians were summoned and the opinion was expressed at once that the wounc would prove fatal. Saturday mornin} the father recanted his story told t( the officers, and declared that the sho. was fired by Wesley Fuller who was! arrested and lodged in jail. Harvej 1 Langley has remained in the custodj of a deputy sheriff through the day. anc in the afternoon was taken to his ?.iioro o mn::9ito Mm? that hi: IJlsiliC *>ucic a ... i??x, son was dying. Double Hang'ng in Orangeburg. There will be a double hanging ir Orangeburg county on the 26th of this month?Warby Wine and Major Greer are under death sentence to be hanget at that time. Efforts have been nmd? to have the sentence commuted to lit'< imprisonment. Counter arguments have been presented to Gove; nor MrSweeney and he has been begged to allow the law to take its course. Solicitci Jervey and Judge Gage, to whom th;. naners were Dresented. saw 110 reason to interfere with the death sentence and Governor McSweeney to-day .?2 vised Sheriff Dukes, of Oraiv.jebir.g" that he bad declined to interfere with the sentence of the court. Palmetto Notes. There was over $15,000 worth of Columbia real estate which changed hands last week?as recorded in the books at the auditor's office. One oi two sales known to have been mad. have not yet been recorded. The prices paid were good. Governor McSweeney has refused to pardon Jack Germany, of Barnwell oAiintr Big Crops at the State Farm. The State farm will do finely this year. The returns will be much better than they were last year. Under the directions of Cant. Griffith more oats .-.nd wheat than usual were planted, and the State farm has raised 2.600 bushels of wheat, and no flour will have to be bought this year. Altogether not over 400 acres were planted in cotton this year, and on this acreage 272 bales have been picked, and Capt. Griffith expects 50 additional bales, which will run the total yield this year to 322 bales. Of the 272 bales ginned the Penitentiary has thus far sold only 33 bales and can afford to wait. L CAMDEN EXTENSION. Tl:is Part of the Northwestern Railroad Opened. Sumter, Special.?The uamcien cxiens;on of the Northwestern railroad, was inspected, accepted and opened for regular trafac by the railroad commission Friday. The inspection was made by Chairman W. D. Evans, of the railroad commission. who, after a careful inspection of the roadbed and track, declared the road to be in excellent cor.d ti>n t and one of the i>est pieces of new road \ he had ever inspected. The private ear of President Thomas Wilson with the inspetor's p:rty. (02sisting of Commissioner W. E>. Evans, Gov, Mr Sweeney, J. F. Laughry, Dr. II. J. McLaurin, R. 0. Purdy, Louis Appelt and H. G. Ostecn left here attached to the regular train leaving at 9.45 a. m., and arrived at Camden at Id: 15. At Rembert's station the party was joined by Mr. E. E. Rrmbert. The party spent several hours in Carrden, and left on the return tiip at 3 15 p. m.. arriving in Sumter at 5 o'clock. The distance from Sumter to Camden by rail is now thirty miles, the railage of the NcrthWestern being 27.5 and the rernainedr of the distance being over the track of the Southern Railway with which President Wilson h2s erfected temporary tra kage arrangements. The Northwestern now uses the depot of the Ohio River and Cha-leston railroad at Camden, bat in a short time will enter the city over its own tacks and will have its own terminal. The road runs through a tine farming section of country that has heretofore been without railroad facilities and that is susceptible of great development, especially in the growl-g of fruit and crops. This road will be of great benefit to this city and the regular schedule whi.h goes into effect at or.te is especially favorable to Sumter and convenient to the people living: along the road. To Develop Water Power. , Mr. George E. Ladshaw returned from Lancaster, where he made a contract with the Indiaoia Water Power Company to develop the Land's Ford water power, on the Catawba river, which will mean the bringing into service of 10.000 horse power. This plant is developed to transmit the power electrically to Fort Lawn, Lancaster, Chester and other towns for operating cotton mills and other .ndustnes. This is a work of considerable magnitude, but only adds one mor6 to the long list jof larger and important jobs satisfactorily and successfully completed by the civil engineering firm o! Ladshaw and Ladshaw. Itl wil require several months for completion.?Spartanburg Herald. A Deal in Spartanburg. Spartanburg. Special.?A syndicate headed by Lewis W. Parker, of G:e:r's, . and embracing a number of the most 1 prominent owners of independent telephone lines in South Carolina, has purchased the Citizens' Telephone Exchange of this city. The purchase price was $22,500. For some time past the Citizens' Telephone Exchang? here has not been satisfactorily operated, pnd a change is hailed with pleasure i .. u. i????

Newherrv, Special.?At a meeting o: the stockholders of the Glen Lower? Manufacturing Company held here il was decided to increase the capita! stock of the company to ?500,000. The former stock was ?230,000. They are going to erect a mill at Whitmire's, and propose to manufacutre cotton goods. This should he encouraging to the farmers that although other mills are running oon short tim? and cryias "no profits" this one is preparing to do a much larger business than was aJ first anticipated. Palmetto Notes. A charter has been i-sued tc the Star Light society, 01 v\ cue na.i, m Colleton county. The governor has been advised bj district attorney's office in Nev York that Dominko Nicostro is under arresl in the Tombs, in New York Ci:y, and .will be held there until the last day of the month so that the requisition papers from thi< State may be perfected and he turned over to the proper authorities from South Carolina. Steam heat was Thursday for the first time this s?.a:On turned on the State House. A commission for a charter wa? Thursday issued to the Georgetown and North Island Telephone Company. The capital stock of the telephone company is to be $1,000. The corporators named are J. B. Steele and A. A. Springy. There seems to he considerable contention as to whether the two negroes under a death sentence in Orangeburg should he hanged or not. The comptroller general is arrang- " ' irg for settlements in the counties as rapid'y as the counties ask for thsm. Governor McSweeney has appointed J. L. Hogtn special ccn-table at Clifton. under the act of 1S93. This is a special act which provides for the appointment of police officers for the va. rious mill towns of the State. i
