V, palmetto crop conditions. Temperature Above the Normal With Scattered Showers. The week ending S a. m. Monday. September IGth, averaged nearly five degrees per day warmer than usur.', and the maximum temperature of 35 degrees at Blaekville on the 12th. and a minimum of 39 degrees at Greenville on the 9th. There was more rhan the usual amcunt of bright sunshine, and only in the extreme western port ion a did cloudiness prevail to any considerable extent.- The winds were generally southwesterly and dried the surface of the soil to quite a depth. Well distributed showers occurred in the extreme western and northwestern counties on the lCih. and light very s ottered showers in the sou-it contra! counties, but there was an entire absence of rain over the greater portion of the Sta;e until the evening of the lotli when showers occurred over the southern counties. The dry weather v. as favo. ale for haying, narvesting rice, and for picking cotton, but was injurious on turnips. young cotton, fall truck and gardens, and all other growing crops. Cotton opened fast, except a'.ong the northern border counties, and 9orr.c opened prematurely owing to rust that has increased rapidly. The hot weather induced shedding, and stopped ! growth of young cotton. The crop is ! reported in a less favorable condition ; than it was a few weeks ago, and is not as heavily fruited a> it is promised j to be. Boll worms have appeared in many sections and have caused some injury. Sea Island cortton improved during the week. Picking has male j fair progress, although but little has S3 yet been ginned. Early cotton is being gathered and as predicted, the yields are poor: late corn is somewhat better. Much fodder was saved in excellent condition i during the week. Rue harvest made, rapi-l progress under nearly ideal weather conditions, and is nearly fin-\ ishod for March and April seeding?, j The crop is good where not injured by j birds, that were unusually numerous in the Georgetown district. Large quan-1 titles of early cow peas were made into hay. bat the later plantings need rain.' I Army worms are disappea ing, but they destroyed nearly the cn:ire hay ( /mop in a few counties: e'srv'-erc tv:, nay crop is an unusually lua.y one Fall truck crops need rain. anil in the ( Charleston district the draught is becoming serious and menacing, although the actual damage already done j is insignificant. American Millionaires. A Paris letter in the London Truth says: Anent American millionaires, John Ashbury, of California, is spend ing ?250,00(1 on tne Kirciien ana cooks veellars of his now house at Philadelphia. The cellar walls will be faced with enamelled tiles and contain the best refrigerators in the wold. Milk, meat. game, fruit can be preserve.! in them for days and weeks. Tho fruitroom Is to have a special kind of ventilation. The chef and his sraff will be provided with a dining room wheio they will be able to enjoy coolness in the hottest Philadelphia weather. The "coppers" are to be lined with silver, j according to the bimetal patent, as are those in the Czar's railway train. In ; point of cost the Ashbury kitchen will outstrip the famous Vanderbilt one. which was got up at an outlay of 40.000 pounds only, ihe Shah beats in expense the American millionaires. His kitchens at Teheran were furnish-, ed at a cost of 800,000 pounds. But the Shah seldom buys without being cheated. In purchasing the American ' is pretty sure to have the worth of his money. ??,v nf Commons Votes. When the House of Commona votes ' It marches out into the lobbies, where the members are counted by tellers. The average distance travcsed by each member from his seat to the lobby is 240 feet, so that at one all-night sitting recently on an important hill, wh^n thirty-three divisions wore made each member tramped exactly a mile and a half, without counting unofficial excursions to the smoking and refreshment rooms. As a division usually takes twelve minutes the House -was six hours and a half cn its feet that night. Liberal Fees. The fees allowed for the settlement of the estate of John G. Fair are liberal. The three executors receive $152.517; the attorneys. $383,000; hand-writing experts. $47,000; the Court stenographers, $32,000. The total val-1 uation of the estate is about $ 13,000.-1 000.

Leonard Wood, governor general of Cuba, passed through Charleston on his way to Washington. He did not leave the train and would not make any expression for publication. Gen. Wood had intended to go to Canton to attend the funeral of President McKinicy today, but on reaching i Jesup. Ga.. where he was to have branched off to the west, he encountered a washout which would prevent his arrival in time to attend the services. He changed his course and started direct for Washington, where he will pay his respects to Presidenr 1 Hoosevelt and lay before the secretary { of war some reports of important atfairs in Cuba. A number of State colleges are en- i deavoring to arrange for a series of ] football games at the exposition 1 grounds during the exposition. The race track will make an ideal ( football field.

Special.?The community around Uuffins, in this county, is very much wrought up over an attempt at rape near there Wednesday afternoon. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a big burly negro named Jake Bostick. as he was passing the home of Mrs. Ann Crosby seized Mrs. Crosby's little 13year-old daughter Daisy and attempted to rape her in front of her gate. The cries of the child and screams of Mrs. Crosby freightened the negro off. so that he did not complete his dastardly act. The family and friends of Mrs. Crosby frightened the negro off. so was in search of the scoundrel. They . scoured the country for miles, but did not succeed in catching him. It is said that if he had been caught last night no mercy would have been shown him. ' but that he would have been swung to the first tree. However the !eade-s of t the crowd are more cool today and ate 1 now willing for the !0w to take its course when he is captured. A warrant for Bostick's arrest was issued by Magistrate Beach. Mrs. Crosby is a widow of a respectable family and lives near 1 Rv.ffins. Jake Bostkl: is a very bad no- : gro who has a reputation for his fro- 1 quent service on the cLaingang.

WEALTH OF THE CONGO. Irory and iJubhsr tin* Chief Sources of Its Prosperity. Ivory and rubbe r are the sources of wealth of the ( onso Free State, in Africa. the connection of which to Belgium is now engaging the attention of 'Via 1 ArtiVI -?- -,rc /\f tlaot I'in cr'lnm At present, the Congo Free State is the private possession of Kins? Leopold II. Of the 700 tor < of ivory annually produced In the world 000 are derived from Africa. Half a century ago ah the African ivory came from Egypt and Zanzibar, but to-day the Congo Free State holds the fiist rank among ivory producing countries. In 1S99 no less than 370 tons were exported to Europe, this being more than half the total African output. The Antwerp ivory market, which was started on July 31. ISSS. with a sale of 15 tons, surpassed the Liverpool market In !o30 and the London market in 1S95. The Antwerp ivory market is to-day by far the most important in the world. Herds of wild elephants are still extremely numerous in the immense virgin forests of central Congo. The nan'voc )innt these jmimals more on ac count of their flesh, which the negroes greatly appreciate, than for their tusks. Hut only a small proportion of the ivory annually exported from the Congo is taken directly from newlykilled animals. Thus, during 18S9, of the 29.9S5 tusks sold on the Antwerp market, 8.5CD alone came from freshlykilled animals, the remaining 21.44C tusks being what the natives term "dead ivory." For centuries the aborigines have been collecting elephant tusks, which they considered as having little intrinsic value, but useful as articles of exchange. fcmbczzler Caught. New York.
