Colukbia, S, (*., June 15.—The Department of Agriculture, as a re sult of the reports of many correspon dents, sends out the following in rela tion to the weather conditions and the crop outlook in South Carolina. The seasonable rainfall throughout the State, as far as reported, was fairly distributed, and with a normal tem perature and an average amount of sun shine, has been of untold benefit to the agricultural community. The corn and cotton crop so far show good stands and favorable prospects. Corn in the lowlands has been injured to some extent by freshed. Rice in the uplands shows a bad stand, yet may, under favrable conditions, improve. The fruit crops are abundant. The farmers are working diligently to keep the grass down, and are much encour aged with the present outlook. Washington, June 15.—The weath er has been warmer than usual in the States on the Atlantic coast, and cooler in the central valleys from the Gulf coast northward to the Lake re gion and Minnesota. There has been more rain than usual generally throughout the agricultural districts in the central valleys and on the At lantic coast, except in Southeast New England and along th j South Atlan tic coast, where numerous showers are reported. The rains are unusually heavy over the central and western portions of the cotton region and ov^r the tobacco regions of Tennessee. Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia and Southern Indiana, the heaviest rains occurring in the lower Missis sippi valley, where they were greatly needed. The large defic ency in rainfall for the season, previously reported oyer the cotton region and Tennessee, has been greatly reduced by recent heavy rains, wliere the rainfall for the sea son now exceeds 70 per cent, of the normal. Generally throughout the Middle Atlantic States, Eastern North Carolina, and from Iowa and Nebras ka southward to the west Gulf coast, there has been more rain than usual. The crops were generally letarded in Kentucky and Tennessee, owing to heavy daily rains and little sunshine. In some sections of these States wheat has been damaged by insects and injured by excessive rains, al though corn, cotton and tobacco are reported as growing well, but dry weather is needed for cultivation. Reports from North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Louisiana in dicate that the weather was favora ble for all crops, which show decided improvement since the recent rains. In Mississippi and Texas the rainfall was excessive, and the crops haye been more or less injured in some sections, especially in Texas, where the weather has been too cool for cotton.

To this end, as is acknowledged by all medical men, nothing is better adapted than iron. • The fault hitherto has been that iron could not be so prepared as to be absolutely harmless to the teeth. This difficulty has been overcome by the Brown Chemical Company of Baltimor**, Md., who ofier their Brown’s Iron Bitters as a faultless iron preparation, a positive cure for dyspepsia, indigestion, kidney troub les. etc. Last mouth, it is claimed, was the wettest May Washington, D. C., has ever experienced. According to the signal office 8.67 inches of rain fell.

The Crawfordyille Democrat wants to know who the lady was that saw an old colored man digging postholes, and said: “You’re digging out tne holes, are you?” “No, mum; I’m digging out der dirt and leavin’ der holes,” was bis reply. The peculiar purifying and building up, powers of Hood’s 8arsaparilla make it the very best medicine to take a. this season. The Savannah News of the 14th inst. says the market is glutted with peaches. A year ago seventy-five packages a day was an average ship ment to receive.

Since the Conemaugh disaster de fective reservoirs have been reported from various parts of the country, but so far as is known nothing has been done to make them safe. Less talk and more work seems to be what is needed. RUBY S LETTER, A correspondent of the Savannah Morning News has recently visited the principal melon growing coun ties of South Georgia, and reported fully as to prospects. the winding up of the Georgia GpSnlngofthe ^ tiro J ina crop, we take a few facts and figures from his bird’s- eye view of the situation: According to the estimates recently made at the meeting in Atlanta of the several traffic managers of the va rious lines, the grand total of car- loads for the present year trom South Georgia is put down at 8,729, or 2,000 loads above the receipts of 1888. Competent judges believe, however, that the crop will fall considerably short of these figures. This will be owing in part to a reduction in the acreage, and the May and April drought. The growing vines, though generally clear of grass and healthy, are quite short and have not as yet borne abundantly. A dry season, it is true, is favorable to the growth of melons, and nothing can affect them more disastrously than long-contin ued rainy spells. Subjected to this ordeal, the fruit changes color and be comes speckled or decays, and the vines frequently die outright But still gentle showers and a sufficient amount of moisturo are indispensa ble to the perfect growth and devel opment of the melon. These, until now’, have been lacking, and, as a consequence, the fruit is scarcer than usual and more backward. Timely seasons, however, will do much to remedy this deficiency. Nineteen counties grow’ and export large quantities, and other localities make smaller productions and ship ments. The first shipment in 1888 was made from Pelham on 7th June, but owing to the drought none will go forwaid this year sooner than from the 17th to the 20th. On the 3d inst., melons were about the size of a man’s head. , Not more than one-half of the melon shipments last year defrayed freight charges, and barely one-fourth of the planters realized any profit on their investments in melons. This was ascribed to high freight rates and the false dealing of agents. The general desire now is to sell the melons delivered at the home depots, to agents of Northern and Western dealers. The growers say it will pav them better to sell at five cents apiece at home than to risk shipments. Freight reductions for this year have been quite liberal. Counting in the increased allowance in loading, of two tons to the ci.r, the reduction is fully $20 on each car. The number of ventilated cars will be largely in creased on all the routes. SAVED FROM CONSUMPTION. Several physicians predicted that Mr. Asa B. Rowley, a Druggist, ofChi- cago, would soon have consumption caused by an aggravated case of ca tarrh. Customers finally induced him to try Clarke’s Extract of Flax (papillon) Catarrh Cure. He says: “The result was unprecedented. I commenced to get well after the first application and am now, after a few w’eeks, entirely cured.” It will do the same for you. Price $1.00.
