Among the States that went

went Republican in 189G, and the
discouraging thing about it is,
they have been going Republican

The week ending 8 a 111, Jnlv
Oth, was extremely hot, with the
average temperature between five
and six degrees higher than usual,
i and for the first time this season
j the maximum rose to 100 or
above, while tlie lowest minimum
was 07 degrees.
The uiinfall was largely local in
! character, with many localities
that had no rain, wTile others had
from a trace to nearly two inches,
i The hot sun dried uplands rapidly,
and nearly all correspondents
report red lands and clayey lands
baked and hard to culti* ate, and
that showers would prove bene....
......1. 1... l . ? i.:i_ i - ^

lands generally are still wet, and
more rain at this time would
cause further injury.
Farm work made rapid progress
and was in the main devoted
to cleaning staple crops of gia-.s
and weeds, somewhat to the neglect
of the less important crops.
Much grass was killed, hut
another full week of dry, hot
weather is required to thoroughly
rid the tields of weeds anil to put
crops in good condition.
The general c mdition of corn is
improved, hut it is scalding on
wet bottom lands and tiring on
sandy lands to a considerable extent.
C)i<i corn is being rapidly
laid bv, while young corn is Nery
grassy. Some overflowed bottoms
being replanted to corn. The
maturing portion of the crop
needs ruin.
Cotton fields that have heen
cleaned of grass aru doing well,
bnt many remain grassy on which
cotton is turning yellow. Tho
kot, dry weather was favorable to
cotton, and in general this crop
is decidedly better than it was last
week. There is some complaint
of rust and blight, the latter most
severe on sea islan 1 varietv. The
plants are growing too much to
weeds m places, and in many in
stances are not fruiting well. A
few localities* report cotton very
promising.

Senator Tillman exercised a

and now ranks second in imports

No man in either party has advanced
so rapidly in prominence
, of late years as Mr Tillman.
When he came to the senate four
years ago he had only a local-reputation,

days have passed since we had
any rain and the farmers are
pi shing, and have put in full time
^ in their crops, to clean the grass
and lay !>y corn, though it will

Tno farmers of this section were
