It is a source of congratulation to the Protestant Episcopal Diocese of ftnpth Caroling that the Ifey. Ellison Capers has declined a call toBirming- ))um, Alabama. The salary offered was considerably in excess of what he Js now receiving as the {lector ol Christ church, fitvepvijjo, hut never- fhclpas he has determined fp remain {p this troubled diocese. The decision is in keeping with the character of the man as we have known him from early youth to the present time. Warm hearted, noble Confederate veteran, and humble, zealous, useful, soldier of the Cross, may the sunshine of peace.radiant with the consolations pf a wpll spent life, follow you even unto l lie verge of eternity. The {ruck growpi a of Charleston arc having up uncommonly prosperous son son. The Irish potato crop is unusu ally largo and of fine quality and the average price per barrel is about dou ble that received last year. The AVie* qnd (,'qyrier of Baturday states that an iptmense quantity of potatoes have becq sent North during the past two weeks but that the shipments are now about over. CfiCfinibers are now be- jpg sl)ipp«;(l ffpely and the supply of ChurUmt^n tonmtoes is increasing. In addition to this good state of things, as if to make the truck farmer:' leTcly^'rafSlO’, the freights, both by rail and water^to^ki^^hiBiL- reduced. A writer iti the Buniter Aduanee says there are men in that county who plough their cows all day and milk them at night, and wants to know whether the legislature can’t do something to stop the uncivilized practice. When Texas ponies are so cheap it seems strange that the Sum ter cows should be required to under go such ill usage. Why don’t the Bocielv for the Prevention of C’rueltx to Animals look after the matter? nearly every section of the State lias improved its tiiiudition very much. On sandy and bottom lupds is good. Owing to the favorable spring and absence of fiquds, the bottom lands nave been better prepared and planted earlier than usual. Correspondents estimate the crop on bottoms at 28 per cent., and on up lands at 72 per cent. The condition of the crop in upper Carolina on bottom 8 U ! *, op uplands at 100; in middle Carolina on bottoms 90 on uplands 98; in lower Carolina 87 on bottoms, on uplands 92 in making in average for the State, on both bot- om and uplands, 94 percent., against 8:1 pe»> cent, compared to the crop of last year. WlfK.XT AND OATS. Wheat and fall sown oats were in jured by freezes, the former a little tnd flic latter very much, hut where the oats were two thin for a stand were resown in early spring. The correspondents report that the crop will yield much better than ex pected, the recent rains having very niiieli improved the condition of the •rop. Harvesting has commenced in some localities, The condition of both crops ia re ported at 91 per cent, for wheat and .->2 per cent, for oats, against 75 per cent, for each last year. FEKTILIZEKS. The amount of commercial fertili sers sold in the Btate for the past seu- nn, as is shown by the books of the lepartment, is less than the season of .885 and 1888. Correspondents report bat the following percentage of com- uereial fertilizers were used this year; Vmmoniated 40, acid phosphate 48, kainit 12, chemicals 9, and that 82 per •ent. purchased was used for compost ing, and that 72 per cent, of kaiuit was used tkia year as compared to 18SG.

Hutson, sepipr prac titioner at the Barnwell bar, and a citizen universally respected, died on Saturday at his home in Barnwell. Last year it was estimated that 19 per cent, less farm supplies was purchased than in 188f*, and this year 18 percent, more than last, still mak ing a decrease of throe per cept. less than in 1885. This increase is due to freshets, which destroyed the entire corn crop on the bottoms, forcing far mers to buy at the beginning of the season. > But out farmers are cheerful.

The reports from nearly every sec tion of the Btate are at this time favor able for a good crop, but there are so many drawbacks in the production of the rice crop that {he present esti mates may he very much changed be fore the maturity of the crop.

Apples, peapliea and pea(s were badly injured by tfie cool winds in early spring. The grape anil berry crops are reported as very promising. The condition of fruit is reported as fol lows: Apples. 50; peaches 28; pears, 38; grapes, 98; berries, 89. The condi tion of garden products is reported at 98 per cent., against 88 last year. Out of 223 correspondent^reporting the state of the weather IjO report good, 79 fair and 7 bad, showing that the seasons have been propitious for the grpwjng crons. the fund left on their hands. This amount they decided tp gjve to the city to he qspd in rebuilding the hospital and almshouse, both of which were totally destroyed by the earthquake. The warrant for this disposition of the fund was found in resolutions passed by tho f-clief com- iqitlpes of Boston, ^e\y V<>ik and Philadelphia, the largest contributors to the fund in which the wish was ex pressed that the surplus left in the hands of the Charleston Committee might be devoted to the rebuilding of institutions designed for the care of the poor of the city. With the under standing that $100,000 would be avail able the city has undertaken to re build the hospital, and for that pur pose has purchased an admirable site on the Ashley river, paying $20,000 for the same. The people of Charles ton, however, are hard to please and there are some who arc not satisfied with the site selected. It is now said that they contemplate applying to thecourts for an injunction to prevent the appropriation of the money to the purposes stated. It is dififcult to see how the complainants can get a stand ing in court seeing that they did not contribute to {he fund, but there is no doubt of their being able to find a law yer to uudeftakethe ease and the pa pers will probably be tiled at the next sitting of the Court. Claiming His Rights. Ex-Heoretary of War Lincoln, it is said is making sixty thousand dollars a year from his law business and lias no political ambition. A Chicago reporter who went to interview him met witii startling success. Mr. Lin coln said: “You will do me a kind ness by printing, as coming from me the statement that Robert T. Lincoln does not want to be written up in tii e uewspape s. He requests every editor tu let liini alone, and would be glad if his name ReYcr again appear ed in the eoiiuuns of a newspaper. A private citizen should have some rights in tiiis country am] tnip of these is the right t<> be Jpt alone by the press. I am praoticing,law and doing nothing else, and thinking of nothing else. No thought of public office enters my mind.” The Mucking Bird Law. It is well perhaps that the law oh the subject of mocking birds should be brought {o the attention of those who ma The wort or persons shall at any time or place within this state, take, kill, sell.^r expose for sale, export beyond the limits of the state any mocking bird, under a penalty of five dollars for each bird so taken. No person or persons shall destroy or rob the nests of any of the said birds, under a pen alty of ten dollars for each offence.” We hope Trial Justices and otfcer olficers will see that this good law -is enforced, Heap* iu Kdlsto Swamp. Burn well People, On last Friday morning Blm mers, of Aiken county, caught In Edisto swamp near Huiguard’s 1 iug two bear cubs, which were k ing open house during the abseu their vigorous mother on a gossijgiig round, and carried the young bruins awax - . Sometime In the afternoon a party of fishermen composed of Cob W. W. Willis, M. F. Nixon and other .Light weights, ignorant of the morning’s oc curences, pitched their camp within fifty yards of the heais despoiled home and prepared themselves for a piace- ful bivouac. All was calm and serene until about 11 o’clock at night when the she bear came home and found that her children had been carried away. And she made it rightjively for tbe fishermen until the day broke. Borne of them were kept by their size from climbing the trees and hyl to put their trust in the brightness of the camp fire. The night wore sway slowly but beyond tlieirscare no mrm was received by any of them. It is said that at iimes when the bear seemed to meditate a cha^gp the camp assumed the appearaucl of a spontaneous prayer meeting. in stealing, and ! | that a Bouth Carolina newspaper should have given expression to views indicative of such small mental cali bre.

A special from Eagle Pass, Texas* says: Thomas Lamb, county judge of Maverick county, Texas, killed his brother, Joseph Lamb, a xvealthy ranchman, yesterday on Mexican soil. Later Thomas drove into Piedras Negras, intending to cross to Texas. He xx*as arrested. The brothers had quarrelled over the division of their property.
