There was almos, an entire absence of rain during the week until Satur day evening, when general showers began that continued throughout Sun day, and in places on Monday. The week closed with cooler, threatening weather prevailing. The hot, dry weather of the greater part of the week was very injurions to crops generally, and some, such as ' tobacco, rice, corn and truck, were seriously damaged in places, while cotton was bet little affected Cotton of early planting is doing well everywhere and some is patting on squares freely ; late planted is not al! np, and some fields have been replowed and planted to corn The stands of cotton are generally fair, but the plants are smaller than usual to the season Sea Island cotton is in Bd len did condition, and some blooms have been noted. Corn was suffering everywhere for rain, and in many places turn ed; old yellow and wilted corn in tassel is seriously damaged by the drought-in places practically mined. There is much land yet to plant in corn in the north central and south central cooties, on red lands. Old corn is being laid by. Insects continue to injure this crop. Tobacco suffered serious impair ment, especially late settings, many of which died, leaving stands much broken ; early tobacco is blooming low. Rice is doing well on low lands, but upland rice withered and died out in places. Late or Jone planting is nearly finished. Wheat and oats harvest is nearing completion and threshing has begun, with quite satisfactory yields of wheat, while oats are turning are turn fog out poorly, with some exceptions Spring oats are too low to be cot, and are a crop failure Maturing truck crops were cut snort about one third by the drought Pastures and gardens were parched. Much complaint of blight on apple and pear trees Melons being laid by, bot suffering for rain. The con ditions as stated by correspondents in this bulletin, have been materially modified by the recent rains, but to what extent is not now known. EXTRACTS FEOH CORRESPONDENTS' RE PORTS.

INVESTIGATING NEAL Senator Tillman and Con gressman Latimer Write the Committee. The penitentiary investigating com mittee resamed its session today at 12 o'clock. Ooly three of th9 members were present, Chairman Stevenson and ! Senators Livingston and Hay. Mr. Patton and Mr. McDaw are expected th"i3 afternoon aod tomorrow. . The morning testimony was interest ing from the fact that it came out that Representative Josh Ashley had stabled bis horse ac the penitentiary through out one session cf the legislature free of charge. Senator Tillman and Mr. Latimer sent in statements as to charges made as to their receiving certain aceommo j dations from the penitentiary. It is I expected that ex Governor Evaos will write or appear before the committee in referecoe to bis farming oparations while be occupied tbe mansion. The meeting convened in the supreme court chamber. Colonel Neii was not present, but was represented by Mr. Bogga, of Pickens, and Mr. Nelson, of this city. Penitentiary Directors Cunningham, Tatum and Sanders were on hand. The first witness called was ex-Cap tain of tbs Guard Westfield. Mr. Stevenson said it had been reported that a member of the legisla ture from Anderson, had had bis horse stabled and fed at tbe penitentiary free of obarge during its session of 1898. He asked as to the truth of it. Captain Westfield replied that Josh Ashley had rode through the country to Columbia and bad bis horse kept at the penitentiary and no obarge had been made for i^. He said, however, Mr. Ashley bad frequently accommo dated the penitentiary offiaers with teams, a horse and buggy for them to visit stockades in that oounty. He was asked who constituted the Congaree brick company, and be said Colonel Neal was one of the company. He didn't know anything about an entry of $60 paid to tbe company during 1898 for brick for the Reed farm. Mr. Stevenson said it indioated that brick on band at the penitentiary had been used on tbe Reed farm and that some had been bought in addition. Mr. Stevenson asked whether it was true that officers of the penitentiary cf a higher grade had to pay part of their salary to Colonel Neal in consideration of receiving an appointment. He said it was not true as to himself and be didn't believe there was anything in it aa to the others. A letter was read by Chairman Ste venson from Senator Tillman in refer ence to brick, commissary supplies and farm accounts, brought oat in former cTidence. Ic it he says he deems it unnecessary to appear before tbe com mittee to answer about such trivial mat ters, and seeds the letter in Heu thereof. He could not see bow Col. Neal's dere liction could be charged to bim He said be never had any commissary sup plies charged to bim during bis term of office as governor and he could not understand bow such things should appear on the books. He bad paid for tbe few things be got, but had proba bly received a few messes of vegetables ' from Col. Neal as a compliment. He said be bad never farmed while io Columbia ic any true sense of the term. He rented four or five acres, planted oats on it, usiog bis carriage horses, and afterwards planted peas for the fodder. The little piece of ground about the mansion had been planted by convicts sent to repair about the man sion aod they assisted io hauling and cutting the 6tof? from the rented land. He said the committee could calculate the cost of tbat. He said that Colonel Neal bad offer ed him some brick, as a present, while they were at Rock Hill, if be would pay the freight, which he agreed to do. Afterwards a bili was sent bim by Col Lipscomb and when he wrote Nea! about it, he said, "never miod-it's all right." Co!. Neal did chip bim some oats aod he had frequently asked for the bill, but oever got any. He had accepted from Neal a desk made at the peniten tiary, bat be didn't tbiok he was im posing on bim since Neal owed bim for a mill be had sold bim*. He said he had oo idea that euch small matters would reoeive so muoh oon6 deratioo, exoept that the newspa pers made so much out of bern for their owo purposes. He said if the State bad lost anything by bim in these transac tions ne was willing to pay it, but he wanted an itemized statement. He repeated, io a letter to tbe cbairmao, that he knew nothing of aoy charges agaiost bias OD the penitentiary books aod said th*t any ase could be made of his letter the committee desired. He rather insinuated that such email mat ters were magoifisd for political capital. Mr. Westfield wiii look oier bis books aod get op the itemized state ment as tofcommissaryjsuppiies.. It is alleged that about $75 stands against the 6eoator. A letter was read from Congressman Latimer about the bookcase be got. He said he agreed to pay for it and had frequently asked for the bili, but Coi. Neal never sent it. The case was made for hts wife and be bad no idea of get ting it for nothing. The committee will probably be in session until Thursday and then go to the farm.-Col. Record, June 15. Uncle William's Petition. The following is a copy ol Uncle William Rose's application to Gov.

Higgins, a bride of two hours, is dead and her husband and young brother badly injured as the result of a chari vari party given them at their home near Watooga, Oklahoma, Friday night. The charivari yarty, composed of about 20 friends of the yoaog mar ried people, refused to go when request ed to do so, but contined to make deafening noises by beating on pans and firing shot guns. Ooe of the party, Harry Randal, deliberately pointed bis gun at the young couple and fired. The bride's face and breast were filled with buck shot. She fell, shot through the lungs, and died an hour later. The groom was shot io the face, and a smell broth er of the bride was also wounded, neither of them fatally, however After the aocidont, the charivaring party fled. No arrests have been made yet.

Saturday tbe negro was captured and returned to Dannelon, when it is supposed some negroes were employed to take him down the river and drown bim San day evening the laborers of the Dunnelon phosphate mine heard of it and st onoe organized to mete oat similar justice to those implicated. They succeeded in lyochiog two of the men, and were only prevented from lyochiog nine others by (he appearance of Sheriff Nugent and an armed posse, who went down io a special train from Ocala. The posse returned this morn ing and reported everything quiet. THE FXTRA MILL VOTED. The Taxpayers of Sumter Believe in Good schools. The special election held yesterday for the purposf of deciding for or against levying an extra mill for school purposes, thoa making the special? levy for schools io this city three mills, resulted, as was forseen in favor of levying the additional mill. There was very little interest aroused in the election as there was apparently no opposition to the increased tax, and but few people turned out to vote, it being the accepted belief that the friends of good schools would carry the election with out an effort being put forth. Although the extra levy was voted by a large majority, the opposition developed greater strength than anticipated. The vote stood : For the extra tax, S2 Against the extra tax, 26 Total vote, 118 i"'ed Hot From the Gan Was the ball that hit G. B. Steadman, of Newark, Mich., in the Civil War.

Several of my neighbors have very fine crops ; but more of ihat hereafter. With the exception of a few cases of measles the health of our community con tinues remarkably good. The extreme heat of last week liked to have done for man and beast. The hot spells of recent years last longer than in years past, and the same with the cold spells. Mr. John McCaa, of Boykins, lost a fine mule last week from beat. He said he bad been working it to a reaper, and presumes it got overheated. The small grain has been all cut, and the stubble lands are now being sown in peas. Our farmers have got to tbe top on forage. May be they will get there on other things after awhile. With no backset the bulk of the farm work wilj be done by the first of Joly. Then the various churches will commecce their annual meetings. Tobacco curing will ah.o commence abont tbe Srst of next mos th. Peaches through here are few and far be tween ; but in the Spring Hill section I am told they are quite plentiful. Blackberries are rather scarce, owing to the extreme cold of last winter, and the dry weather. Matt. 13 : 28-"An enemy hath done this" -was the theme of Rev. J. C. Crouch to a crowded house at Swift Creek Church on yesterday. The sermon was fine, and was listened to with uniagging interest to the end. The more I hear Mr. Crouch the more I am impressed with the simple grandeur of the man in bis life's work, and his wonderful influence over the chorcbes of bis charge to wards spiritual improvement. Before preach ing, baptism was administered to several candidates. Mr. Crouch is certainly doing a fine work. He bas been visiting some of bis friends bere, and we hope be will come again soon. In the Boykio mill pond can be seen a remnant of the old fiat that sabk so many people to tbeir watery graves years ago and carried death and sorrow to so many bornes. Tbe writer of this witnessed the sad occur rence in part, and the eight impressed on bis boyish mind can never be effaced. Pisgah, June 12. - - ? - ? - --? Of Interest to Inventors. C. A.

Next Friday the same, clubs will m?eT Mayesviile ai>d fight the battle over. The cotton mills in the up country have> during the past year, earned dividends raag iog from 15 to 35 per cent cf the capital stock. The Sumter Cotton Mill is a small affair and the operating expenses are conse quently disproportionately larger, bat it earned, nevertheless, 14 per cent last year: The np country towns are prospering, the are growing rapidly, business is brisk tie year round aBd the banks are filled with money, and this is all the result of the estab lishment of f-iCtorieB. There is no reason why Sumter should not grow and prosper as the up co ac try towns. If we bad a numbs? of large factories and there is no reason wby the factories are not here, except the failure of the people, the merchants and business mes especially, to get together and by uniting forces build them. Wheo once a start has been made, and one large factory is ic soc* cessfnl operation it will be easy to build others and to secure the investment of oat side capital in any amount desired. Other towns have done this and are doing it every day, while Sumter is doing nothing in that line. Sumter is making some prc* gress. bat it is a snail's pace as compared with the progress of other smaller and poorer to wns These are the facts of the situation ani the business men and property owners of Sumter who have most at stake and wbc= would receive the greatest benefit by tba increase of business and the enhancement io the value of property by the growth and prosperity of the city should face tba issue squarely, consider the facts and do something to pot Sumter in the march of progress along the road to prosperity.
