The sunshine was much below nor
mal, there having been one clear day
in the interior; on the coast from two
io six days were cleat;
The temperatures averaged slightly
above normal aud was remarkably
equable, with unusually small differ
ences in the daily temperatures from
the mountains to the coast. Thc high
' cst maximum temperature was 97 de
grees at Blackville on the 13th. Thcro
I was very little variation in thc night
temperatures Ihroughtout thc week;
thc extreme minimum was 63 degrees
at Greenville on the loth.
The precipitation was copious over
the greater portion of the State,, but
was much below normal in a few lo
! ealities, most of which were in thc -
? eastern comities. The greatest local
amount was 3.3G iuches at Catawba.
Nearly all the north central counties
had excessive amounis on one or more
days that caused floods on the smaller,
streams. Many thunderstorms occur
red in the western half of the Stale
and some of them were accompanied
by high winds.

"T.C.Williams, Jr., William H.
Lyles, of Columbia and Mr. 'futon
! Of Greenville, while touring thc moun
tains in an automobile, had a narrow
escape from death a few days ago,
when, theil large machine tumbled
over a 15-i'oot ledge. The fact that
thc machine landed right side up ac
counts for thc minor injuries and
bruises which the occupants sustain
ed instead of perhaps fatal iujuries.
The machine was a complete wreck.

Larg? Increas? iii Some Lines in
The Last Ten Years.
A special Washington dispatch lo
the Baltimore Sun says:
The fact that exports of domestic
mevcba?dise from thc Visited Staley
have doubled within thc last 10 years.,
coupled *wilb the constant demand
ior information concerning article?
in which that growth was developed,
lias set the experts of the Bureau of
Statistics bf the Department of Com
merce and Labor Lo figuring. Thc re
sult has been the preparation of a
special table showing, in thc order of
magnitude, the principal factors in
the export trade of thc fiscal year
which ended June 30 last. To this
they have added, for comparative pur
poses, a column showing thc exporta
tions of thc same articles in 1S9C.
The analysis shows that three class
es-raw cotton, provisions and iron
and steel manufactures-bad in lOOli
attained each a total exportation of
more than $100,000.000, which in 1S96
but two classes-catton and provis
ions-were entitled to that distinc
tion; In 190? tbc articles which
showed each an exportation of be
tween $?:),000,000 and $100,000.000
were five in number-copper manu*
factures, relined mineral oil. corn,
flour and manufactures of cotton. A
decade earlier, in 1890. but two hems
fell into this group-refined mineral
oil and flou i-.
In the fiscal year just ended .17 arti
cles or classes of articles showed ouch
an. export value of from $10,000.000
to'$42,000,000-cattle, leather and its
products, boards, unmanufactured to
bacco, wheat, agricultural implements,
oil cakes, bituminous coal, chemicals.
?ats, vegetable oils, timber, fruits and
.nits, manufactures of wood, carria
ges, scientific instruments and spirits
ot turpentine-while in 1896 there
..vere hut nine article? entitled io a
place in this class-iron and sicel,

Raw cotton still occupies first rank
ind is entitled lu the title of 'vKing

Provisions continued lu rank in see

Iron and steel manufactures' .have'
lakeij. rank in third place and relined
mineral oil has dropped .from third
place iii 1896 lo fifth place HI 190fi.
Copper manu fact urcs have shown a
notable growth, having advanced fruin
eleventh place in 1S90 li? fourth
place in 1900. While jlo?i
shows an increase of $7.000,000
in thc decade, its relative po
sition anipng the leading articles o?
transportation has changed from
fourth iirl896 lo seventh in 1906. and
wheat, whose exportai ion ol' $40,000,
000 gave ii sixth place In 1S9? has
recoded lo thirteenth place, with a
total exportation of $28,757,517 in
the year just ended.
Agricutural implements exported
are live times as great hi value as in
1S96, and this large increase lias ad
vanced the position of that class from
tweuty-third ia 189G to fourteen th iii
1900, Exports of oats, which oc
cupied the thirty-first rank in 1S9G,
quadrupled during tho decade and
advanced to eighteen th place last
year.
Cut ton manufactures, while small
tn comparison with these of Great
Britain, Genna ny and France, especi
ally in view of our great supply of
:aw cotton havo shown hume im
iruvemant sinco 1890, their posi

ulvanced from twelfth in .1896 to

export's from $16,837,390 n decade
ago td. nearly $03,000,000 in the year
just ended.
Comparative Table of Exports.
The following table shows thc value
of .'12 leading classes of articles ex
ported in 1890 and 1900 and includes
