C., Sept. 10, 1894. , The weather for the nast few weeks, has * ? been favorable for .cotton picking, and the farmers nave made, considerable progress along that line. Cotton was injured by tbe heavy rain in Jnly and August, bul io this immediate section nearly ao average crop will ba made. Tbe corn crop is good. Peas are backward and it is feared that the yield will be light. More attention has been paid this year than ever before to the raising of sugar cane- and sorgnm, and there are several milis through? out this section, all of which seem to be doing a good business. Messrs. Floyd k Player and F. J. Smith have pot op a caue mill at this place. Cotton is being picked readily at forty cents per hundred, and the sinners have reduced the price of ginning to one dollar per bale. Messrs. Floyd k Player have opened a store bere. Mr. W. W. DesChampa, has just completed a commodious ware boase ia rear of bis store, which adds much to bis convenience and to the appearance of the place. The many friends of Mr. Jas. K. Goodale of Camden, are glad to see him bebind the counter at Mr. W. W. DesCbamp's again. Messrs. J. C. Scott, Jr., and K.

The highest temperature reported was 96 at various place*; the lowest 65 at Longshore on the 4th and 6th. . . There was about SO fer cent, of the possi? ble sunshine; having been almost clear dur? ing the four last days of the week and partly cloudly on toe previous days. There were light showers, qoite general over the State, oo the 4tb and 5tb, scattering showers oo the6tb aod io the extreme North? western counties, oo the 8th. The week's rainfall was less thao the usual amount io all sectioos, and a general rain would be beneficial ; Spartanburg aod Union counties bave especial need of it. ?L?

The yield condones to appear disappointing and the general opinion of correspondents is for causes "already stated, the crop will ?pt come up to the early esti? mates. In addition.to. the.repgrt of sbeddipg and rost previously given, boll worms have appeared in Newberry and Edgefield counties. [ There wil 1 no top crop oh sandy land; at other places a'small middle crop, while io general the crop is from ooe week to ten days late. The %ot 3txosbioe seems to have effectually checked routing. The coro crop is all made aod is being housed io places ; the new corn is now used generally for feeding. The heat is favorable, as it thoroughly ripens and bardens the grain oo the sulk. The fodder has about all been secured in fine condition and is an abundant supply. Other forage crops, such as pea vine hay and grasses are also heavy crops and are being cut nader favorable weather conditions. Toe riee harvest is said to be well io band now, and in some counties the largest crop ever known is being harvested, while the yield in general is very satisfactory. So far the weather bas been all that could be desired for securing the crop und it will soon be beyond danger of injury from unfavorable weather. Early pease are ripening and being picked. Tbe pea crop will be a large one in acreage and prospective yield. The turnip crop bas, generally, attained a good stand aod is growing off nicely. Sweet potatoes are not uniform io regard to condition, being an abundant crop io sectioos white-other places report a plenty of vine, bot lack of tuber .grow tb. Garden products con? tinue "? plentiful, except cabbage which1 are rotting badly. The truck farming industry, in the coast counties, was affected favorably by the past week's weather and the fall crop of vegeta? bles, fruits and berries are doing very well. Sorgum is being gathered and made into syrup, the yield, as reported, is from fair to very good, running an average of 90 gallons to the acre in Fairfield County. J. W. BA?EK, Director. Columbia, S.

Two years ago the Northwestern Life Insurance company of Milwaukee came to the conclusion that it could no longer grant a policy to any man employed in a lager beer brewery, because their "business had been injured by the short? ened lives of men who drink lager -beer," - -?.*********** ^?<* The use of beer and light wines does not wean men from the uso cf stronger liquors, as is shown by the increasing consumption of the latter in beer drink? ing and wine growing countries. Another fallacy is that intemperance is rare in countries using beer and wine. Prof essor Warren said before the legis? lative committee of Massachusetts in 1867 that one-third of the students in Berlin and-Halie were once a week drunk. And the New York Independ? ent quote? a medical authority to the ef? fect that in Germany no less than 10,000 people die of delirium tremens every i year; that of the male prisoners over 75 per cent are constant drinkers; of the female, over 50 per cent. In France The Constitx donal, a Paris paper, admitted that the habit of drunk? enness has increased year by year since the beginning of .the century. 4 'Men be? ga* with wine; then alcohol is taken. In 40 years the consumption of alcohol has tripled in France."-Voice. Low Business For a State. There appears to be no end to the ex? pedients proposed for managing the liq? uor business. A law has been enacted in South Carolina placing the liquor trade under control and in the hands of the state. By this novel experiment in legislation, which went into effect on July 1, "dispensaries" are established in place j of- saloons. In what respect they will differ from saloons does not appear, except that the liquor will be sold by government officials instead of common saloon keepers. The governor has published rules and regulations under which the business must be conducted. These rules pro? hibit any customer from being served more than once a day. Loafing about the "dispensaries" is forbidden, and clubs will not be allowed to serve liquor. The "dispensaries" are to open at -7 o'clock in the morning and close at 6 in the evening. The governor is reported to have stated that he expects to sell be? tween 1,000.000 and 1,500,000 gallons a year at a profit of at least $1 per gallon. The expenses will be considerable, but he expects the state to make nearly $1, 000,000 a year on the business. This is a low business for a state. One can see how it will corrupt politics and degrade the state government. The liq? uor business at best is the most danger? ous engine of mischief in politics, but when the state owns the saloons the sa? loons will run the state. The profit which the state shall receive from this business will be a curse.-Christian Ad? vocate. Hereditary Drunkards. It is especially important to note the hereditary translation of the craving in the children of a father or mother who did not themselves possess this craving, but were drinkers only by custom or so? ciability; also the fact that in mental respects abnormally disposed people (psy? chopaths), as a rule, cannot bear alco? holic beverages and become very easily inebriated. There are many more psy? chopaths among drunkards than was formerly believed. The poisoning by al? cohol and the psychopathy help and cause one another-the psychopath be? comes very frequently inebriated-and produce drinkers. This curse is to be abol? ished only by curing the inebriety-that is, by total abstinence-because a con? genital abnormal disposition of the germ? inative plasma can as such not be. cured in au individual The insane drunkard can be cured by abstinence.-Exchange. Railroad Temperance Men. "The temperance movement," says the Glasgow Herald, "is spreading rapidly among railroad men. Already 10,000 white buttons stamped with initials sig? nifying the Railroad Temperance asso? ciation have been distributed among en? gineers and trainmen, and the demand for them has been so great that 50,000 more have been ordered." Temperance Notes. The surprising decrease in the death rate of the soldiers in India is due largely to the greater sobriety, according to Lord Roberts. It is stated that on the warships of eight nations which recently lay in the Hudson river all served liquor to their men but one, and that was the Ameri? can. Fifty-three per cent of the lunatics in the asylum of Bengal are there as a re? sult of hasheesh, an intoxicating prepa? ration of Indian hemp. A prison chaplain says very tersely, "Crime is simply condensed alcohol." The tobacco vice is almost entirely ab? sent among the Brahmo Somaj of India.

The injury inflicted on workingmen by cheap labor, trusts and combines, etc., falls far short of the injury they inflict on themselves by intemperance. At the I month of every mine, around every man I ufactory, at the comers of the streets, wherever toiling humanity spends the I weary hours of labor, there is found the omnipresent saloon, the workingman's worst foe. Mr. Arthur, chief of the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, once said, "You can go into any of these groggeries and see the workingmen sit? ting around and spending over one-half t their earnings for strong drink." "In Chicago," says Sam Small, "I saw a marching body of workingmen, 18,000 strong, carrying -a banner inscribed, 'Our Children Cry For Bread,' and they marched straight to a picnic ground and drank 1,400 kegs of beer" The wage earners of these United States annually pay ?600,000,000 for liquor-a sum so large that if it were saved for a few years and properly in? vested a fund would be created that under wise management would render destitution among the poor of this coun? try forever impossible. Thrift and drink are incompatible, and without thrift and sobriety the highest wages in the world will bring neither competence nor comfort. Then, too, the use of intoxicants less? ens the skill of the workingman. A large manufacturing firm in Cincinnati recently made the following statement: "A drinking man will turn out from 20 to 30 per cent less work than a non? drinker, and in addition his work is apt to be defective and require overhauling." It is a fact that a man cannot work hard and drink hard at the same time. Strong drink, by impairing the skill and productive power of the worker, lessens the profits of business out of which wages must come. Hence drinking workmen keep down wages, inasmuch . as employers must base the average rate of wages on the amount of work turned ont by the least productive of their em? ployees. Strong drink consumes the i workman's wages, destroys his skill and degrades him to the level of the brute. Deliberately and truly we writedown the saloon to be the wage earner's great? est and worst foe.-Christian Advocate. Temperance NoteaT Through the agency of the Missions to Seamen society over 5,000 sailors have been enrolled as total abstainers in Cork harbor alone. The statement that suddenly enforced abstinence kills is not borne oat by facts. The death rate in prison is only 8 in every 1,000, a much lower rate than in towns. Grout is largely caused by the introduc? tion of stout as a beverage. It is also ?tated that from 50 to Toper cent of the same cases are hereditary. At Chase City, Va., the "citizens' tem? perance" nominee was lately elected mayor over the "citizens' liberal" candi? date.. m Washington a company of gentle? men counted the young men in the 10 largest prayer meetings.
