SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS General Review of Conditions for the Past Week. The temperature was above normal during the week ending Monday. July 21st. with an average of about ^4 degrees. The highest was 103 rio grec-s at Heath Sprirgs 0:1 the 17th and at Seivern on the ISth. the lofest 02 degrees at Santuc on the 17th. This, the second hot wave of the month, was of comparatively short duration, for by the end of the woeit the temperature was again normal or below. Thb winds were generally light .and dry. but without the wilting . ffect so noticable during the previous hot wave. Showers occurred in every county, but they were partial and generally light, and at a few points only did they supply enough moisture for the need of growing crops. The rainfall was heaviest in the southeastern portions. but was not general in that section. Over the greater portion of the State, crops are suffering for rain, severely in places, and in others not so much. This has caused a great diversity in the condition of crops, so that now there are places in every countv whpre thev arc doina well and other places where they are partly ruined. This applies particularly to corn and cotton, while other crops are affected in like manner, but m varying degrees. Showery conditions prevailed at the close of the week. Field crons have been laidby in clean condition, except some cotton that is receiving its last plowing and stubble corn that is yet small. Some early corn has reached maturity and is a fair crop, but hot weather and drought cut short a large portion cf early coin, while late corn is generally promising and in condition to be benefitted by timely rains. Cotton improved in a number cf localit seiub. aff bamr .am ramh mham calities. bat generally it deteriorated during the week, depending on the rainfall distribution. Over by far the greater portion of the State there ar~ reports ol blooming to the top of shedding cf the plants turning yellow, and ? few reports of rust. Generally th^ plants arc small, but blooming freely and a few sections there are nearly full grown bolls. The crop as a whole n in a condition to be greatly benefitted by rains, should they occur within the next two weeks. Tobacco cutting is being rushed to the neglect cf other farm work, and the crop is curing nicely. In a number of localities this year's crop is the best ever raised, while in other localities it was badly damaged by heat mu ftrn;i?rht Itiep is threatened by salt water iD some districts. Caterpillars have nearly all disappeared after darning young rice. Peas continue to look well. The majority of reports continue to indicate an inferior fruit crop, with much premature ripening and dropping, except grapes which are fine where not rotting. Minor crops, such as sweet potatoes, cane, 'pastures, grass for hay and gardens, ; need rain. Fatal Occident at Spartanburg. I Spartanburg. Special.?A harowiug ! tragedy occurred Sunday morning about 10 o'clock at the home of Prof. W. M. Morrison of Clemson college, who is spending the summer at Wei ford. Prof. Morrison's 6-vear-old son and Willie, the 6-year-old son of Mr J. It. Jackson, a neighbor, were plav; lng together on Prof. Morrison's prem: ises. By some means the little boys | unobserved managed to get a breachloading shot gun. both barrels of J which was leaded, from Prof. Morri| son's house, and this weapon was brought into their sport. Just how it i happened no one will ever know, perhaps. but the gun was discharged and t the load entered the body of Willie Jackson just beneath the left shoulder blade, ranging inward and penetrating the lung. The boy lived a little over three hours after the shooting, and was conscious, frequently calling for water. He recognized Dr. H. K. Black, who was summoned and who reached Welford about half au hour before the boy died. He called the doctor by name. The fatal accident is a shock to that entire section of the country, and the parents of Willie Jackson, and Prof, and Mrs. Morrison arc prostrated with grief. Bloody Altercation. Manning. Special.?Sunday afternoon an altercation occurred between Law \i-iu ->r> onU twn vnnne brothers | reut'c unuii ouu v..w I by the name of Warr, in which one of the Warr boys severely cut Wilson two places on the body with a knife. The i ?xtent of Wilson's injuries cannot be told, but the physician who attended him thinks that the severest wound was prevented from going into the cavity by his ribs. A One Armed Forger. Bamberg. Special.?Saturday morning Sheriff Hunter was surprised to receive a notice from the Bamberg Banking company to the effect that they had received a check from the bank at Earnwell, endorsed by Sheriff Creech of that place, and apparently signed by Sheriff Hunter. The check was drawu for $10 and was made payable to one John Turner, who, it was found upon investigation, had forged Sheriff Hunter's name to it. The for-' I gery is said to be a very clever one, and would not have been detected so quickly had it not been.for a private ; arrangement made between the bank and fhe sheriff heTe for mutual eonvanience in keeping the private and public laccounts of this office seperate. Is the Novelist Born or Made. There is an interesting symposium In The Young Man on the subject of "How to Become a Novelist." from 1 which, however, the asriring romancIst will not derive very much encouragement. Mr. William I.e Queux leads | on wun tne tApicaciua ui upiuiuu ; that a wide and diffuse knowledge of : the world is one of the first essentials 1 to success in fiction. Lucas Malct is 1 old-fashioned enough to believe that j the novelist is born, not made, while 1 : Mrs. W. K. Clifford is prrtty much of the same opinion, and Ellen Thorneyeroft Fowler epigrammatically remarks that writing is like flirting, if you can't do it. nobody can teach you to do it. Mr. Gilbert Parker is of opinion that fiction writing can be learned j but not taught, and Mr. E. F. Benson j thinks that there are only two indisi pensable gift3 for a novelist?an eye ' for dramatic situation, and the power j cf putting down in plain English what he sees. Mr. W. W. Jacobs' eontri1 bution is characteristic.
