Saturday, June 3d, was observed in most of the Southern cities as a holi day, being Jefferson Davis bithday. Thk Southern Field, of Georgetown, is a welcome visitor to us. It is no doubt the harbinger of good times for that section, as it calls attention to the possibilities of what could be the gar den spot of the State. The announcement is made that Greenville, one of the largest counties in the State, and one of the most im portant from a manufacturing and commercial point of view and whose county seat is the third largest city in the State, is making preparations to line up with Cherokee and Pickens in voting out its dispensaries, and that efforts to get the necessary number of qualified electors to sign the petition in Oconee and Union counties are to be renewed and redoubled. BEECH ISLAND ITEMS. Crops are fine. Oats are turning out fine. A nice lot of hay was saved last week. Corn is better than for some lime past, but needs rain very much. Watermelons are blooming and black berries are getting ripe. Cotton is clean and gardens are doing well. The Downer school closed last week. A very nice program was carried out by the scholars. The teachers deserve much credit for the faithful discharge of their duties. The Presbyterians are having their church painted, which adds much to its looks. Mrs Kit Hammond and little Emily have gone to spend some time in Spar tanburg. Mr. Laurar.ce Radford his mother spent the day with Mr. A. J Boyd Sun day Mr. Galphin Hankinson is said to have the finest crop in the neighbor hood. # * * COTTON CROP REPORT. The Government bureau has made the following report on the general con dition of the cotton crop to 31st May: Returns to the chief of the bureau of statistics of the department of agricul- ie total area planted in cot- States up to May 25, cent last y The a?^H^RKnditipns of the grow ing crop OTHday 25 was 77.2 as compar ed wi h 8S on May 25, 1901; 74.1 at the corresponding date in 1903, and a ten year average of 85 3. The percentage of decrease in acre- i age in the different states (the compar-| ison being wittf the total area planted last season) is as follows: Virginia 18. North Carolina 10, South , Carolina 11.Georgia 11, Florida 10, Ala- ! buna 8, Mississippi 12, Louisiana 14,1 Texas 12, Arkansas 15, Tennessee 10, j Missouri 14, Oklahoma 11, Indian Ter- j ritory 10. The condition of the crop by states on | May 25 was as follows: Virginia 87, North Carolina 83, South ! Carolina 78, Georgia 84, Florida 88, Ala- j bama 87, Mississippi 73, Louisiana 73, ! Texas 69, Arkansas 73, Tennessee 86, i Missouri 84, Oklahoma 88, Indian Ter- • ritory 81. Condition of Hts Crops The Bureau reports to the 6th for South Carolina as follows: Farm work has made rapid prog>-'*ss over the larger portion of the State, but cultivation is difficult owing to the rank growth of grass and weeds and she rapid drying of the soil which renders it Baked and crusted. The weather was generally favorable for growth of crops, and there is a marked improvement noted where they have been culti\med, but the general condition of all Held cr»'o* is still poor. i T lere is a marked improvement in j cotton which looks well where worked, j especially on clay soils, but is still poor, yellow and small on sandy and gray soils, with less complaint of plants dy ing than last week. Lice are prevalent in the central and eastern counties. There yet remains a small portion of the crop to chop to stands Favorable progress was made in cleaning fields of grass and weeds, but much remains foul, and some will be abandoned ow ing to the rank growth of grass and the scarcity of laborers. First squares have been noted in many parts of the State. The conditions of corn is variable, ranging from good to very poor, and much of the crop is suffering for want of cultivation. In many places it is yello<v and undersized. Where prop erly cultivated it is fine. . THE HEYWARDJOUHTY COMMISSION. Hm. T I Crtff Explains Why Ns Meeting Was HeM The Augusta Chronicle of Saturday contained the following; ‘At this distance it looks as if there is a determination on the part of the two members of the Heyward county commission opposing the formation of the county by refusing to take part in the meeting of the commission. Messrs. L. W. Reese and H. M Cassels wrote the governor to-day that all members of the commission were notified of a preliminary meeting to be held in Au gusta yesterday, but that no business could be transacted because Messrs. Croft and Cochran were not present at the meeting. Mr. Croft excused him self from attending, they said, on the ground that he understood there was some objections to his serving because he was a resident of the county seat of one of the old counties effected. They asked the governor to straighten out the tangle. Mr. James U Jackson was jalso here to-day in conference with the governor over the situation. The gov ernor has appointed another meeting of the commission for next week. He does not think the absence of Messrs Cochran and Croft had the object of delaying the game, but was possibly due to an oversight on their part. If it is found that the new law" may be de feated by the declination of commis sioners to act, the law will be fatally defective and there will be no remedy until the next session of the legisla ture.” To this article Hon. T. G. Croft the next day published the following: Aiken. S. C., June 3, 19<)5. Editors Chronicle: My attention has just been called to J a piece in your to-day’s issue entitled, ‘‘Heyward County Again Delayed.” which is calculated to mislead the pub lie on the subject. It is sought there in to convey the idea that Mr. R. A. Cochran and myself, two of the com missioners,‘‘are trying to block theo. - eration of law,” ‘‘by refusing to take part in the meeting of the commission” on June 1 inst. Since our failure to attend the meet ing has been thus commented upon, I feel the public should know the rea sons in order to judge of the facts; On May 26. last, I received a notice from one of the commissioners, Mr. L. VV Reese, informing me that a meet ing would take place in the office of Mr James Jackson, in Augusta, Georgia, on June 1 To this letter a prompt re ply was sent, stating my inability to attend for the reason that an objection was filed to my appointment as com missioner. That our conduct in refus ing to attend this meeting was proper, is plain from the further legal grounds : The meeting was suggested to take place in the State of Georgia, w’here the acts of the commission would be illegal, being without the jurisdiction of this State. The authority by which the commissioners must act, is a law of the State of South Carolina. The statute provides among other things that the commission shall have the power to send for persons papers, etc , and shall have authority to administer oaths and take testimony. Such powers could only be exercised within the jurisdic tion of this State, as any attempt to compel the attendance of witnesses in the State of Georgia by this law, would be illegal. Further, the meeting of the commis sion at present would be premature, under the statute, as it has nothing to act upon. It is provided that before an election is ordered the governor shall refer the petition for the proposed new county hack to the commission, which Im shall appoint to investigate whether the requirements of the con stitution h.vve been complied with and that upon receiving such petition, with any annexed exhibits, the commission shall then appoint surveyors and pro ceeds from thereon to declare its du ties in regard to all matters. This pe tition with annexed exhibits has never been returned oi received by the com- f m known. TWO PIECE SUITS Men’s Two Piece Suits grow in favor constantly.

McCreary’s, 720 Broad St., Augusta, Ca. FORCE IDLE NEGROES TO WORK. The Augusta Herald has the follow ing to say about the numbers of vagrant negroes on the streets of that city, and its remarks will apply to Aiken equally well. It says: t “The Herald on two or three differ- j ent occasions, in answer to the appeals ■ of farmers for help in their fields, has j asked the authorities of this city and , county to enforce the Calvin vagrancy ; law and drive the great many loafing | negroes from the citj’to the country, 1 where the farmers can get them and ( put in the fields. For some reason or ; other the local authorities did not care i to accept the suggestion of The Herald, j there being probably a little work con- j neeted with such a crusade and they ( are trying to avoid exertion of any sort | during the heated term. From all over j the state the cry is going up for an en (an ordinance. AN ORDINANCE PERMITTING THE CAROLINA LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY TO SINK AN ARTESlAf WELL.

W.QUITMAN DAVIS ROBT. L. GUNTER, Far Prohibition. On top of the confident prediction that Spartanburg will vote out her dis pensaries at ui* election to be held there in the next few weeks and fol lowing the announcement that a peti tion calling for an election is being cir culated in Charleston, comes the news that a well organized movement lias been started in Greenville to have that county line up with the Cherokee and Pickens in ejecting the dispensary un der the Brice act Mr. J.A. McCul lough. a prominent member of the Greenville bar is confident that prohibi tion will win in Greenville. The min isterial union there has taken up the fight and Mr. McCullough, who was a few y ais ago candidate for lieutenant- governor on the prohibition ti -ket, will be the leader of the movement. Mr. C.C. Featherstone, of the Lau rens bar, also in Columbia attending the supreme court, contends that this State is tending towards conditions now prevailing in Georgia—that prac tically all of the counties with small cities will go “dry ” And he favors Columbia and Charleston remaining “wet”.if it is so desired in th«»se com munities, holding that enforc n ' the law after voluntarily voting out the dispensary is the best argument prohi- bitmn can have. Mr. McCullough on the other hand is no sort of local np- tionist, and advocates the abolition of whiskey in any form. It is stated that Mr. Andrew Carne gie has offered Davidson College $20,000 on condition that a similar aihonnt be raised. The offer will be accepted. | At the date of this proposed meeting a technical objection to my appoint ment was also pending determination. Such being the fact I deemed it proper to await a final and legal disposition of the same before transacting any bus iness. Lastly, since the matter has been ag itated, Aiken (and not Augusta) would be naturally the proper place to hold the meeting. In the course of its in vestigations, the commission will be c mpelled to have frequent recourse to the public records at the courthouse in Aiken. On thequestion of area, wealth, and population, it will be necessary to investigate fully the records of the au ditor and treasurer and other offices To hold meetings elsewhere will neces sitate much inconvenience by repeated trips to Aiken for the purpose of inves tigating these records when the matter could be avoided by coming upon the ground itself. We suggest instead of convening at a private office out of this State, that the meetings be held at the courthouse at Aiken, where the public, will have the opportunity of inspecting our proceedings. From this statement it will be seen the conduct of the two commissioners refusing to attend the meeting sugges ted, was proper, and that there is no attempt made, nor will be made, to “block the law” or to defeat the w ishes of the voters in the matter. At the proper time a meeting will be held, a chairman chosen, and a complete in vestigation made with all due diligence as required by law. T G. Croft. Snubbed as ^"Deserved to Bs Col. Thomas D. Osborne, secretary of the executive committee of the Con federate Reunion at Louisville, Ky . re cently addressed King Edward of Eng land. and President Roosevelt, request ing that they send messages to the United Confederate Veterans when they meet in Louisville, on June 14 King Edward's reply was received to day and is as follows: "Buckingham Palace, May 24. 1905. —The private secretary presents his compliments to Mr. Thos. I). Osborne, and is commanded to acknowledge the request preferred in his letter for a mes sage from His Majesty to the United Confederate Veterans at their annual reunion, as it is contrary to his Majes ty’s rule to send messages to be deliv ered at public gatherings of this de scription.” President Roosevelt replied in sub stance. through Secretary Loeb, that it was against his rule to send messages of this sort, that it was too perfunctory an act, and that if he could not be on the spot and say what he wanted to. he would have to get along without saying anything. The arrangement of the coiffure is a most important feature when the new hat is selected, says The Delineator for July. With the Louis XV hat turned up high at the side, the pompadour must be loose and full, and is even pulled gently onto the bandaux and caught with a jeweled pin. While the little polo hat precludes the high pom padour the soft, low roll may be worn, and the back hair is usually softly wav ed and piled high on top of the head. These small hats afford splendid oppor tunity for the use of ornamental back and side combs. many cities the authorities have an- i swered the appeal and put labor into i the hands of the farmer. “There are enough of idle negroes j here in Augusta to chop the grass out . of the cotton fields of several counties j if the officials would only awake to the necessities of the occasion and go to work on the vagrants in good style. Once the farmers knew that the jail in this city was holding negroes that they could get out on bond to work there would be many applications for them. But the main benefit to the farmers would be in driving the negroes from the city into the rural districts wiiere the planters could catch them and put them to work. If the idler once had the fact impressed on him that he had to work—for wages if he would but for board and clothes on the county roads if he persisted' in loafing there would be a change, easily seen and wholesome, about ihe streets of the city. There are two or three places of rendezvous for negroes in Augusta that in a couple of weeks would furnish hands enough to make the planters of the Tenth district easy. “It seems to The Herald that the au thorities for their own protection and for the sake of their reputation would be glad to drive a class of loafers, who are bound to become criminals, from the city. The summer time always adds to the loafing element of the soulh. because it is easier for the' vagrants to live at that time. The pickings are greater and the opportunities by theft HERBERT E.

The farmers need help in the country, Augusta is injured by a large unproductive ele ment in her population and there is a probability that a growth of this ele ment will beget additional crime. “Put the vagrants to work.” RUSSIAN NAVAL INEFFICIENCY. Columbia Record. The Japanese government holding that secrecy is no longer necessary, ac knowledges the loss of a battleship and several other warships, all of which hap pened last year. From this one might be inclined to believe that Toga had not given to the world, at least, the true extent of the damage as at first report ed. and even the loss of only three tor pedo boats, which is acknowledged, seems a refiection on Russian efficiency. That theyfought desperately and brave ly is admitted. Their capabilities as gunners and sea fighters generally has never been high in the estimation of the w’orld, and that estimate is fully jus tified from the results. If Toga’s re ports of his losses are complete, then the Russians have been disgracefully beaten, and under such circumstances little glory can be extracted from the fact or belief that they went down gamely. To get back to Japanese meth ods of withholding facts, it may be said that there is no known reason now why they should conceal what disasters they suffered. It will be impossible for Rus sia to send another fleet, so we may take it that only three small torpedo boats were lost by the Japanese, while of the great Russian armada only four, probably five inferior warships escaped.

The Ever Lessening; Band One of the most touching tributes to the Confederate veterans ever written is the following from the heart and pen of Miss Fannie Anderson, of Wes leyan Female college: I see them slowly marching year by year, A lessening band, to that lone camping 1 ground. Where their companions in the days i that tried Men’s souls have grounded arms for- ever. Ease Has seldom been their portion, bronzed by sun, And bit by winter’s cold, they bear the scars And blows of endless time as valiantly As once they bore the buffetings of war. I For tnem a nation’s coffers have not! bled, To salve their wounds with gold, but j when worn out With fatal victories, they left the field , J Where valor long had striven in vain j with might. Like that great son of Rome whose con quering arm Did not disdain to guide the plow, they sheathed Their swords and, asking aid of none but God. By honest toil redeemed and glorified The land their fiuitless valor eould not save. See where they come—an ever lessen ing band. Torn by life’s storms, and chilled by numbing frosts Of thankless years—they falter not, nor fall In the great strife with human wrong and woe. Till, one by one. the great commander —death.

The agents, in attempt ing to secure subscribers, not only make promises to furnish rural mail boxes gratis, but in many cases represent that the boxes can only be obtained through subscriptions to the publications they represent. Officials of the department say that the representations referred to are at least misleading, in view of the fact that there are upward of 160 rural mail boxes on the market which have re ceived the official indorsement and ap proval of the department, and that such boxes are manufactured in various parts of the country and can be secured at prices ranging from 65 cents to $3.50. The boxes can be purchased by patrons themselves or ordered through post masters of distributing offices of rural routes, who are supplied with a list of the various types. Postmasters, how ever,are not permitted to act as agents for any particular box or receive com pensation for ordering them. A Fearful Fate.
