They Are Suffering From Too Much Heat and Rain. ?The Augusta Herald-Bays crop re-< ports from the entire states of Geo jgja and South Carolina indicate that the crops in both states are suffering greatly on account of the abundance of rain which has fallen for the past month. rr.be cotton crops are especially hurt and the growth has been re tarded by the pievalence of grass in the fields. The soggy condition of the ground will not permit the farm ers getting into the fields to chop ? out the grass. In most sections col ton averages about eight or ten in ches In height and very few blooms are seen. A prominent farmer of the Au gusta district said recently that the prospects for making a fair crop ?were good, provided that the weather would clear off immediately so that the grass could be chopped out. In such weather as the farmers have had for the past month, the grass grows rapidly while the cotton re mains practically as it is. Cotton is not the only thing that is suffering; the corn fields bear ev ery evidence of too much "rain. The crops on the high ground and the hillsides are not so bad, but in the lower fields, especially those border ing the river, the crops are almost worthless. Along the railroad tracks, for miles around Augusta, the traveler looking out of the window of the car sees water-soaked cotton fields, some of which are completely inundat ed and present an appearance simi lar to the rice fields of South Caro lina. Several farmers have plowed up a number of their cotton fields, replanting them with peas, in the hope of realizing something from the land. Numerous oat patches around Au gusta are ready for the reaper, but the soggy condition of the ground prevents its use. Death of an Old Man. After having been confined to his bed with a lingering illness for the past year, Mr. James Emanuel Brown departed from his1 earthly life June 20, 1910. He had long been unwell but during his confine ment displayed the true Christian spirit and fortitude. He was born June 12, 1S46, and although very young when the War between the States broke out he was permitted to enlist and was a member of Ha good's Brigade. He was wounded at the battle of Manassas. but re turned and was at the surrender at Appomattox. At the time of his death he was the senior deacon of Rocky Grove Baptist Church, in both age and length of service. He leaves a wife and four children. Miss Josephine, Mrs. Annie Laurie Jerni gand W. Lowman and Miss Sadie. LUCK. The luck that I believe in ?Is that that come with work And no one ever findB it Who's content to shirk.

With pennants flying thirty-two cars, all of thorn belonging to mem bers of the Orangeburg Automobile Club, left yesterday between ten and. one o'clock for Charleston. The cars were expected to leave in order and at stated intervals but the offi cers of the club were unable to get the cars to assemble, or report their time of departure. The first car, officially, left the city at twelve o'clock, but before that time several cars had already -gone without noti fying the committee in charge of sending the cars off. This caused some little tfonfusicn in getting the names of the various cars leaving, and it was utterly impossible to get the names of the occupants of the cars. A list of the owners and their cars was all that could be obtained. /The local paperii were all repre sented. The Evening News by Mr. R. L. Berry, The Orangeburg Sun, by Mr. Symes; and The Times and Democrat by Mr. Jas. Izlar Sims. A repair car followed the line and any car that needed repairs was tended to on the road.

Colleton Bar Honors the Memory of Judge Dantzler. (Walterboro, July 9?Special: At the conclusion of. the summer term of court Saturday the Colleton bar took occasion to pass some resolu tions on the death of the late Judge C. G. Dantzler. These resolutions were presented .by Hon. William J. Fishburne and seconded by Solicitor J. H. Puerlfoy, Col. J. G. Pffdgett, Col. C. G. Henderson, and Hon?*tfas. E. Puerlfoy, all of whom bore testi mony as to the high character- of Judge Dantzler, each recounting some ^pleasant personal - experience and expressing feelings of confidence in his Integrity and honesty at all times. "" Judge Wilson -took ooc?sion to commend the bar for Its timely reso lutions and also to pay a beautiful tribute to the memory of his friend, Judge Dantzler. He requested the clerk to subhit a copy of these res j olutions to the county paper and to ; the Orangeburg papers. The reso lutions follow: Judge Dantzler, of the First Cir-i cult, but recently presided at two terms of court for this county?a Regular and a Special term, embrac ed within the last six monthB. This bar has at all times welcom ed his official visits, and personally and professionally have through t.he years enteretained for him, his high character, his learning and his abil ity, the greatest admiration and es teem. At the last session of the State Legislature he was unanimously re elected, and the general public hop* ed that he would regain his shatter ed health and long adorn the Bench, but the end has come, and Judge Dantzler still yet in the prime of life and full of honors, has been "gathered to his Fathers." Therefore, be it resolved by the Colleton Bar: That? ?(1) In the death of Judge Dantz ler, we deplore the loss of the State of a most honorable and useful cit izen, and to the Judiciary, an earn est, able and impartial Judge. (2) That we tender to his family our sincere condolence. (3) That His Honor, the Presid ing Judge, be requested to order these resolutions recorded on the minutes of this court. (4) That the Secretary of this meeting do transmit to the family of Judge Dantzler a. copy of these resolutions. THE MOVING PICTURES. To Parents and Young Folks of Or angeburg. ^ "Some of the moving pictures ex hibited are not fit for youa. folks to see. Parents should look aftei* this." The above clipping was taken from The Times and Dein'-.criir of July 6th, and as I am so.'; cw:ic,,( operator and manager of the only moving picture theatre in the city, I consider It my duty to my patr.?ns and friends to reply t*> this and ?o explain briefly the Kind of ser^.c;* 1 am using daily. A licensed picture means that "Motion Picture Patents Co., of America" have every picture turned out by the very best makers in ca;j world, such as the Welean, Selig, Vitagraph, Edison, Pathe, Gaumono, Lubin, Biograph, and others too numerous to mention, examined by a special committee, that is paid es pecially to do this work, and if a single picture is considered by this committee to be the least indecent it is refused to be licensed by the Patents Company. Therefore if a picture is unlicen sed we are forbidden to use it in out licensed places of which they have a description, also street and number. So as we are protected from the indecent service by these people to whom we pay a weekly royalty. We are just as anxious not to run the stuff as they are. and if we should use the independent stuff, we would loose our protection, as well as our customers. This is the service we are showing dsHy and we have no idea which par ticular picture The Times and Dem ocrat had reference to, but we do know thai every picture if looked at in the right way will teach a moral lesson, and I am sure that should a picture come into our hands calcu lated to offend anyone it. would not .be shown to our. patrons in Orange burg. I have been in this business in this and other towns for some time and can truthfully say this is the first newspaper knock I have ever received, for I have never al lowed an independent film pulled through my machine, have never shown anything but service that will compare favorably with that used in any city, no matter what size. As in the past we will continue to run and do our best to please as we have recently raised our service, we are now running a higher priced class of stuff, and we hope to give even better satisfaction than we have in the past. The decision we are will ing to leave to our patrons, whether or not this rebuke was merited, as well as the service we are giving. Very Respectfully, Manly J. Porter, Proprietor of "Tbeuto. 1 Boys Com Club. The Boys Corn Club held a mee* ing on Saturday mornius at the Superintendent of Education's office.

The Westminister Gazette tells of a veteran Scotch country doctor who evidently was not over-careful as to the size of his fees or solicitous about the pecuniary qualifications of his patients. The Gazette quotes Dr. John Morris of Dunfirmline as saying some ten years before his re cent death: "During my 50 years In practice I have attended 50,000 pa tients, administered chloroform 10, 000 times with absolute immunity from fatal results, had 5,000 births ( 1,000 consecutive cases without a death), made about 1,000,000 vis its, and traveled 500,000 miles." Not a bad record for a country doctor without an automobile and without university training, but the Carnegie foundation would not be impressed and would no doubt have put Doctor Morris on the list of the unfit. Inspired .by the account of this widely useful Scothch physician, the WashingtonPost says: "It is distinctively the office of the doctor to be a good man. That is even more Imperative than that he s.hould be a skilled leech. His mis sion is to succor the distressed, to assuage pain, to dispel anxiety. His smile should be sunshine, his voice cheer. He is there at our birth. He watches at our cradle. He ministers to us when sick. He admonishes us with solitude. He is by us in death He follows us to the grave. What a noble profession it is in town or in country! Your doctor who is also a good man is a blessing to ail his neighbors and an ornament and a glory to the human family." Meting V. I>. C. The Paul McMichael chapter, V. D. G;, met Wednesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. C. Pike. Sr., with a large attendence, After the business session there was quite a number of invited guests present to hear the address made by Mr. Fred Dibble, on "The Edisto Rifles ? Before and During the War of 'Gl." This was followed by a very enjoyable musical program. Miss Adele Salley rendered a delightful violin solo, and Misses Gertrude Smith and Simsle McMichael sang very sweetly to those assembled. Re freshments were served and the meeting adjourned to meet again in the early fall. SUMMER FANCIES.
