CONSOLIDATION Ol' THE REPORTS ON CON DITION Ol' THE CHOI'S FOR MONTH . ENDINO JULY 31, 1882, FROM RETURNS TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OP AQUICULTURE. Tho estimates given oro based upon 155 replies, covering every county in thc State. THE WEATHER. One hundred and thirty, th roo corres pondents report the weather for the month of July favorable and twenty-two unfavorable. Three cot respondents in Darlington county leport that thc rains havo been SO,frequent und heavy as lo cause some slight damage to crops and five correspondents in Ander son, Chehtcr, Laurens und Spartnnburg counties report that a drought prevailed for ubout three weeks, somewhat reducing thc coudilion of all crops. COTTON. The condition of cotton is below nn aver age, owing almost entirely to thc cool spring, which injured tho "stand," and from thc tho (fleets of which it lins not recovered. The greatest injury was sustained by ibo Northern counties. Thc plant for tho past month hos been growing finely sud fruit ing well. Somo apprehension is felt on account of continued rains, but no damage of any oonscquenoo is yet reported from this ou usc. Four correspondents in Dar lington, Collation and Hampton oounlics noto tho appearance of thc worm, but in very small numbers, and they have not yet injured thc plant. Kust is rcportod by four correspondents in Anderson, Spartan* tanburg, Newberry and Hampton counties, nine correspondants in Darlington, Fairfield Berk ely, Choi lesion, Clarendon, Collcton and Williamsburg counties report that thc plant is shedding loaves and fruit, but no uneasiness is felt from either just or shed ding unless tho rains during August arc exoc8Ssivo. Tho plant is generally small throughout tho State but well fruited. Thc condition is reported in Northern Carolina at 88, Middle Carolina nt 96 and Lower Carolina at 99-an nverogo for thc Stato of 94, against 72 for tho same time lest year. CORN. Tho soasons havo been remarkably fine for corn. In addition to favorable bensons better land was devoted to this crop, cul tivation has been fur better and a larger perccntago of tho crops fertilized than formerly. Al) of thoso causes havo made tho crop an unusually fino * ono, nod tho present indications ero that, considerably abovo on average crop will bo harvested. Farly oort) ?8 made beyond all contingencies and Bensons have been vory favorable for tho lalo planting. Much of tho oat stubblo was planted in eorn and poss, and tho prospects for full crops of both aro vory encouraging. Ono correspondent iu Collcton county reports that a farmer in his vicinity harvested forty bushels of oats per aero and will realizo an equal quantity of eorn and peas. Tho condition is reported in Northern Carolina ot 109, Middlo Carolina 105, nnd Lowor Carolina 111-an avcrago for tho Stato of 105 against 53 for tho samo poriod last year. RICE. Upland rico is generally reported in good condition, is growing well under the Stimulus of favorable seasons and good culturo, nnd tho prospcots arc very-prom ising. In tho low country it ft not in as good condition, but o full orop is not im - probable. A correspondent in Beaufort nays: "Rico crop on upper Savannah is fully up to on average. On middlo and i lower suctions it ?3 much bolow. On bock I wotcr plantations orops havo suffered se verely from drought and in tho Combohco Itivor from salt water." Tho condi tion is reported io Nortborn Corolina ot 98, Middlo Carolina 98 aad Lower Carolin? 9G. An averugo for tho Stato of 97 agoiuot G2 last year. SOHO II UM AND SUGAR OA NE. Although theso orops havo as rapidly grown in favor with tho farmers of ibo Stato, they still do not reocivo thc attention thut their importance deinauds. Wherever sorghum or sugar cano has been properly cultivated it hos uuiply repaid all expenses attending its cultivation and left a hand some profit besides. Either cnn bo grown as on extra orop without very great addi4 tiona! lubor or expense, and its growth will Bupply tho farm with what should bo ooo of must important products. lu all tho counties where sorghum and sugar cano oro grown to any exteut, the correspondents report tho orop small but in flue nonditiou and growing rapidly. Tho condition is: Sorghum-Northern Carolina 91, Middlo Carolina 97, Lower Caroliua 95. Sugar cane-Northern Carolina 100, Midddlo Caroliua 98, Lower Caroliua 98. TEAS. Tho reports on tho condition of tho pea crop oro very encouraging,und tho inoroaso of acreage shows that tho farmers appreciate tho importance of thc crop, not only os a forage crop, but os tho most economical plan of increasing thc fertility of tho soil. In every county thc reasons have been fuvoroblo and tho crop is growing rapidly with prospects of ? full crop. Tho condi* (ion is given in Northern Carolina nt 104, Middlo Carolina 99 nud Lower Carolina 105. THE OUTLOOK. Tho agricultural outlook has not for many y CB re been PO encouraging. Tho wheat crop was fully up to an average, The yield of outs was unprecedented. A full colton crop will almost certainly bc realized. With tho carly corn crop assured bcyoud oil doubt and thc late crop very promising tho indications aro that our farmers will have "corn lo sell and keep." Peas will bc fully up . to on average if they do not surpass it. Thc rice crop bids loir to be better than usu il. Sorghum, sutfor cane, potatoes, turnips and ntl thc .smaller crops will yield bountifully. Tho farmers begun thc new your almost dispirited from thc misfortunes ouused by (ho unprecedented drought of lust year, but with (he indomit adie courage and energy which have ever characterized thc people of tho Slate, they O 'lnmenccd their op?rations for tho yonr. i They have pursued their avocation willi a pluck and perseverance worthy of their calling, and, with thc favorable seasons whioh have prevailed during the jeir, they have overcome almost insurmountable dif ficulties and ot the close of tho year they can look bock upon their work with pride nod satisfaotion and will enjoy thc fruits of their labors wbich they have HO justly won. A correspondent in Anderson says: "Fanners ohcorful and bouyant. Outlook brighter than for several yours, darners full of small grain and good health ooui binc to moko tho citizens cheerful, social, kind nnd happy." A correspondent in fairfield says: "O-H orop so good and corn BO promising that it is thought that it frill not bo necessary for thc county to buy feed for sleek or bread for tho pooplo." Tho obovo extracts fairly represent thc tono of all thc reports and they furnish cri dence of thc oondition of tho planters. Every citizen in tho Stato can rejoice with farmers, for when thc agriculture of tho oountry is prosperous all thc trades ?nd professions flourish. Hon- A. H. Stephens' Lottor o? Accoptanco.

Thoso time-honored principles of Dc mooraoy to which tho convention in it platform refers, in which 1 was reared, am to which I shall over adhere, ure, indeed L helive, the basis upon which all our pus glory waa achieved, and to which for ou higher corcor in tho futuro wo oan onl; hopefully look. Somo of these it moy b proper hero to set forth, ns they wcro an uounocd by JcQcrsoh, tho great founder o tho party, moro thou thi eu quartcrB of a century ago: "Ivjunl uud exact justico to all moo of whntcver plato or persuasion, religious or political."

Thc foregoing, gentlemen, embodies thc lending ideas and principles by which my administration shall bc governed, if tho people ol' Georgia shall c ill mc to her chief cxeoutivo chair.

Atlanta Con st itu (ion ; In tho Constitu tion of Sunday wc printed in full tho de cision of Judgo Simulons in tho case of thc Georgia Railroad against thc Georgia Rail - road Commission, Thc decision is a very import ono us n contribution to thc settle ment of doubtful or disputed points involved in the relations between thc railroads and thc people It is o very clear and very careful opinion and will attract attention all over thc country. The people uro to bc congratulated that withal! tho influence that powerful corpo-. rations nrc alwnys able to muster every step taken since the establishment ol' the com - mission hus been in fuvor of thc ?publio. Wherever thc courts have had nn opportu nity to pass upon tho law, thc p...icipies upon which it is based have been most emphatically re oflirmad. Judge Simmons' decision is faa strong in this direction us thc decision of Judgo Woods. What ore these principles? 1. That a railroad partokcB of tho nature of a publio highway and onnnot bo olassed as private propel ty-tho manngors nud owners thereof being tho beneficiaries of the State to the extent cf tho extraordinary privileges granted. 2. (f tho people do net contribute money toward thc construction of a railroad corpo - ration, they contribute thc privileges cnu mciatcd in thc corporation charters, which ure of vastly more importa nee than money. When a railroad applies for and ncoepts chancier at tho hands of thc State, it noktiowlcdgos in effect its quisi publio chancier and accepts tho responsibilities growing out of suoh acknowledgment. - These principies being established in law and in fact, every other claim of thc State follows ns a natural consequenrc-thc tight to regulate freights and tares, thc right to prevent (incrimination and tho right to compel the corporation to give tho people the best service nt their commund. Thc truth is, tho railroad commission of Georgia has accomplished a great work for Georgia. lt lias given tito public thc benefit of reasonable competition in tho face of thc most powerful combination thc Stato hos ever scon-a combination whioh has swallowed tho Central, thc Georgia and oil their branches, nnd which, but for fortuit ous oiroumstanocs would hnvo swallowed thc Stato road. Every serious objection made against thc commission hos been fouod to bo groundless, und ovory predic tion by its opponents hus failed of verifi cation. It was said that tho establishment of Buch a body, with power to regulate rates and fares, would not only cripplo tho railways already in operation, but prevent tho building of others. Capital, it is said, would bo driven away, and enterprise would bo compelled to seek other fields. So strenuously were theso arguments, obj cot - lions and predictions employed thoo tho Constitu? ion, first and Inst, has devoted a good deal of spaco showing wherein tho prophets and not the commission had failed. Tho facts in regard to tho commission anti its operations may bo briefly summed up. Sinco tho boord was established tho railways of tho State havo never been more prosper ous, nod returns to stock holders havo never boca moro satisfactory. Thcro hus never buen a day in tho history of Georgia when so much foreign capital was invested in railroad enterprises; ond tho Stato lias never known a period of moro rapid and substantial railroad development. Theso facts knook a good many theories in tho hoad, but it ia boat that tho thoorios should bc put to rout. Railroad Prog-roes. Courier-Journal: la 1830 thoro wcro said to bo twenty-three milos of railroad in thc United States; nt tho oloso of tho year 1881 thoro wcro 104,813 miles of road. Tho largest increase in any ono year was in 1881, wheo it roached 11,142 miles; tho year before it wus 7,174. Last yoar wo built as many miles of road as were in operation in thc whole country io 1852, and ono third of what wcro completed up to 186G. This yoor tho increase will prob ably equal that of 1881. Thc estimated value of tho whole system, os represented by its capital and floating debt, is S.5,010,389,579. Tho gross earnings for two years would about pay tho bonded debt of thc United States, as lost year they amounted to $725,325,110. Of this amount ?148,071,000 were paid in operating expenses, leaving 827G,G51,119. If tho Government should confiscate oil tho railroads, pay nothing for interest or divi dends and fix tho charges simply to carn enough to operate tho roads and keep them in order, ibero would only bc a reduction in ratc8of thirty-three and a third per cent. Of thc earnings last yenr, 8551,908,477 came from tho freight department and $173.35G,G41 from tho passengers, or 70 per cent, for freight and 24 for passenger traffic Tho rates charged for freight in this country aro low ou an average, but thc passenger rate? arc, on tho whole, high, compared to freight charges. When tho usual rato for passengers is ono oent por mile, thc passenger earnings will show a largo in?rense. lt is not rash to predict, that this will bc thc rate before 1900. Such figutcs stagger one's immagiuation. Thc marvelous development of our internal commerce thus exhibited surpassed ony ihiug ever dreamed of by tho carly pro jectors of tho railroads. Tho value of tho tonnage in 1850, nt 850 per ton, 8250, 000,000, or only 810 per head of the popu lation. In these 22 years tho population has more than doubled, but tho tonnage moved uow exoceds 8200 per head, and amounts in thc aggregate to ?12,000,000, 000. t\ Sunday Colloquy. The quiet of a Sunday morning was broken by thc tones of a church bell. Over tba town floated its full, rioh music, and then oamc baok again in faint cohoes. Tho bell seemed charged with a message to thc people, which it was tolling will all its might, and thc message ran thus: "Como, como. Come, come. Como, como." Bot although well understood it was not heeded by many, and this is what thc people said who did not heed it, and what con science said to them: Hell: "Come, como." People: "Wo do not feel very well to doy." Consoicncc: "Isn't it strange, thoro arc so many sick people of Sundays? Many who aro well enough on Suturday night oro unable lo go out on Sunday, and those who aro si ok on Sunday rcoovcr whoo Monday morning ootnes." Boll: "Como, como.'1 People: "Tho weather in too unpleasant to-day." Consoicncc: "Yes, tho weathor on Sun day is always wrong-too hot, too oold, too wet, too cloudy or too windy. Sunday heats aro too exhaustive, Sunday rains aro so penetrating, Sunday colds aro so piero* ing that no one but tho minister and sex ton should go out to church!" Bell: "Como, come." Peop'e: "Wo hove company." Consoionce: "Isn't ibero something said about tho stranger within thy gates keeping tho Sabbath day holy?" Bell: "Como, come." Peoplo: "Our gormonls nrc not good enough." Conscionoc: "Thoro aro a groat many directions in tho Bible about how wo should como before tho Lord, but tho stylo and quality of olotbos arc not montionod. Tho church isn't a millinery cstab'ishmont or a show room. In old times rioh and poor met together, for thc Lord is tho Makor of thom ol? " Bell: "Como, come." People: "Wo aro better than somo who go to oburoh." Conscionoc: "You moy ho mu oh bettor than some, but aro you satisfied with that? Will it do to tell tho Lord so? Thoro is something in tho parable of tho Pharisee and publican bearing upon this point." Bell: "Como, come." People: "Wo haven't any scat in oburoh/' Conscience: ('Thcro oro always scats for those who como. Thoro ncod bo no foar of intruding, for all oro welcome; and need be no fear of wearing out your wel come, for you oro urgod to como ovory Sunday!" And so til o oburoh bell kopt ringing out its mcssngo, "Como, Come;" and somo heeded tho mossago, came, thanked God for tho privilogo of coming and rcsolvod to oomo always; others still rofuscd, and, conscience went to sloop, murmuring oro it slept: "What shall it profit a man if ho shall gain tho whole wot ld and loso his own soul?''1 A good oxamplo is tho best -sermon. Tho sting of reproach is tho truth of it Fly the pleasure that bites to-morrow* Ho that won't bo counseled can't; ht* helped. How fow persons dare spoak their' thoughts. A disordered imagination is a fertile source of evil. Ho who foresees calamities suffers thom1 twice over. Sabbath days aro quiot islands on tho' tossing sea of lifo. Every aot of live is a stooo io tho forma tion of character. To bc successful io manhood, ocquiro' habits of order in youth. A man is divinely empowered for oil ko' is divinely culled to do. First keep thyself in pcaoo, and then* thou shalt bo ablo to pooify others. I had fainted unlesss wont nod penury had chased mo to tho storo house of all. Genuine cheerfulness is an almost certain index of a happy mind and pure heart. Tho love of Christ, is intended to over come and destroy tho sel fish rv. ss of mao Exaggeration or falto coloring is as much a violation of integrity BB a direct falsehood. If wo attend well to our affairs, we shall' not have timo to superintend our neigh bor's. Always act as if you bolioved God was' prcscut, and that you must give aa ac count to him. Rules for Spoiling Children Try to forget os much as possiblo that you wcro young yourself. When they amuse themselves torment/* iog animals, look and laugh. Always tell thom to hit back wheo an noyed by neighboring children. Tell them all tho lies you like and half kill them if they tell you one. When they tell you they won't do 0/ thing, laugh at them and let it go. When they fall and hurt themselves Boold them for their awkwardness. Dress them in style that they will bo afraid to play for fear of soiling their clothes. Mnkc religion such a long faood pokey thing that they'll hate tho nome of it aa long as they livo. Dcn't givo them anything to read but Bible stories, Sabbath school books and ditDO novels. Don't give them tho habit of kissing them good-night; if you happened to dio they would bc awful lonely without it. Tell them it is a sin to bo dishonest, but if they bring you back too mueh chango from tho grocers keep it and toll them to say nothing about it. Let them Bleep till you havo startod to work io tho morning and thoa have thom put to bod beforo you got homo at night to avoid bcoomiug too intimately acquainted with thom. Threaten to tell their father and get thom punished for every blessed thing thew do, so that bj degrees they'll como to tho coQclup'on that a father is como sort of e. whipping moohino. Tell thom it is a sir. to laugh or play on1 Sunday and mako thc doy as dull and stupid os possible for thom. Thoo, when they grow up and go to Congress, thoy' will bo apt to pass a bill doing away with' tho observance of the day altogether. If you happen to bo in a gruff mood an tl fool a littlo palm trying to noetlo iu yours or a littlo arm trying to twine itsolf around your neck, givo a growl and marl out' something about wanting to bo let alone. Tho offonso won't bo ropeatod. AN EPI8COPAI? ADMINISTRATION.-Wo' have bcou asked repeatedly withiy tho last week to what church Governor cleat Thompson bolongs.
