Yliole South Pessimistic, Due to Excessive Rains, Boll Weevil and Labor Shortage. The fanners are very "blue" over he cotton situation in the South, due o the excessive rains and other conlitions, says Commissioner of Agriulture Harris, who has reports from very State in the South. Mr. Harris tates that these reports'show a very iad condition in the cotton States, nd a despondent view of the situa ion is given. Many of the farmers re abandoning their crops, says Mr. [arris. Some planters have plowed ip their fields and many>are offering heir crops for sale at less than the ost of the fertilizer they put into hem. TI|i rains have been gieven as one f the main causes for the condition, nd the rains of the past few days rill doubtless make the situation ven more gloomy. The boll weeveil n some sections of the South has aused a great de^l of loss to the lanters an dall over the South the abor condition has been a serious andicap. Commissioner Harris tales that his reports from all parts f the South show that there has een great loss of cotton from these auses. A report from J. J. Brown, commissioner of agriculture of Georgia, hows that of several farmers in one ommunity which had been interviewd, not one reported an encouragng situation. One farmer said that ie would be thankful if he should get ne-third of what he did last year, mother said, "I paid $2,000 for my uano. Now for $1,000 I will turn ver the whole crop." One farmer says he would take two ales for his cotton of nine acres, mother who has 22 acres is willing o take three bales. Others are simly plowing up four, five and even lore acres with the hope of using t more profitably. Farmers in some sections report hat their crops will be cut 50 per ent this year. It is generally beieved that the crop will be unusually hort, and that this will mean a high price.'?Columbia Record. o Our Boys and Our Schools.

Greenville, June 30?Greenville threw open its doors this afternoon to . j the newspaper men 0f South Carolina and tonight the Knights of the Fourth I Ej?>lcll? <IIC ill t'Uiiipicic puoocooivu ui the Paris Mountain City. About one hundred representative members of the fraternity arrived in the city late , today for the opening session of the forty-fifth annual meeting of the South Carolina Press Association held in the auditorium of the First Baptist church tonight. Every incoming train brought a con tingent of newspaper men and the attendance is already unusually large. !William P. Pollock, of Che) aw, fo me' Senator from this State, delivered a I masterly address to the members of I the association at their first meeting tonight. Mr. Pollock's address was a most timely and interesting one, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience. Tonight's meeting opened with prayer by Rev. L. M. Rice, editor of | the Union Times. Secretary F. M. Burnett of the local chancer of commerce welcomed the newspaper men to the city, his remarks being responded to by Dr. W. W. Ball editor of the Columbia State. President J. L. Minis, of the Edgefield Advertiser, presided at tonight's meeting. Tomorrow morning addresses will be deliver ed by Albert S.

Coleman, revenue agent for the internal revenue department of the federal government, received instructions from Washington Tuesday to continue the work of raiding stills, thus enforcing the prohibition laws. Mr. Coleman is leaving the city on a raiding party and before leaving he stated that | there were many stills throughout the state, and that the enforcement of the prohibition law is up to the people largely, and that their assistance, is needed. There has been some doubt as to | whether the revenue department' work of still-raiding would be continjued, with the prohibition law effective. It wa3 taken that the enforcejmen of the prohibition law would I come unaer me department 01 justice and not under the revenue department. However, the revenue collector on Tuesday was in receipt of orders ! to continue his work against violators iof the prohibition law until he received further orders. Mr. Coleman stated that the best j position for the nation to take with regard to the prohibition law, as he 'sees it, on the part of those opposed to prohibition as well as for prohibitionists, is for enforcement of the law, for he says the best way to determine I! the value of the law is t0 enforce it. J If it is a bad law, says Mr. Coleman, enforcement will prove this fact. If it is a good law, hej says, then failure to enforce it won't kill it. Mr. Coleman stated that if the pro, hibition law is to be enforced the public must help. He says the officers will not be able to do it all. When citizens know of stills in operation jthevv must report them, he says, an<| only by such effort can the law be 1 made wholly effective. Mr. Coleman states that there are more stills in operation than ever before in this state. In speaking of hte situation the officer stated that there are more stills in Lexington county today than there were five years ago in the whole state, not counting ihe mountain section, and he says that in every county there are many illicit distilleries.

BLOCK OF FRAME BUILDINGS BOOH FLORENCE BARELY ESCAPES SERIOUS CONFLAGRATION. i Property Destroyed Will Be Replace*! at Once With' Brick Structures Florence, July 1?Florence narrowly missed a serious conflagration this 'morning when the Buchheit row of [frame tenants, stores, pressing clubs, ! etc. were destroyed hv fire. The alarm from box fourteen, at East Evans and Church streets, in the I midst of the business section, was ; sounded at 9 o'clock. The fire was : | then bursting through the roof of the Buchheit block of frame, buildings in East Evans street. The department was soon on the spot, but the inflammable material that thefire fed upon caused the flames to make rapid headway and by the) time the first stream of water was turned upon the seething flames, the building had begun falling. Nearly everything in the several apartments of the building was burned and the loss was. consider. | | able. The McMillan building, across the | street on the south side, soon caught | as well as the large billboards of j Brays. The Berry building on the |west side and the Buchheit tenant j dwellings on the north, were damaged. The top of a gasoline filling station tank caught and shot up avlong stream jof fire. The tank was expected to explode from a distance and it was put ;out of business. j The property destroyed will amount i to several thousand dollars and on ao count of the high rate charged by the iinsurance companies on the risk. | about 10 per cent, there was little in-1 :surance on any of the property. The fire originated from a spark from a stove flue in a restaurant, belincr driven under the shineles hv thi* ' stiff wind that was blowing. The buildings destroyed will be replaced with brick structures at once1 i by Mrs. S. J. Buchheit, the owner. I o FALL IRISH POTATOES. ' Preparation. Planting and Cultivation Clemson College, June 30 As the time approaches for the second crop of Irish potatoes, land should be selected and prepared thoroughly, so ! that when planting time comes in ! July, everything will be in readiness. ; A rich sandy loam is preferable, but | almost any well drained soil will grow potatoes, if the land is well prepared |and fertilized. Thorough preparation consists of deep turning followed by harrowing ; until a completely pulverized seedbed is formed. Rows or deep furSows should then be laid off 3 to 3%; ; feet apart and well thrown out with la turn or shovel plow. Thorough barnyard manure and conlnercial fertilizers are recont1 mended, but the former must be well rotted and judiciously used; otherwise, scab and similiar diseases may result. In the use of comjntercial fertilizer, a complete mixture containing an excess of potash should be applied. Because of the rxC nAtncU ihfi nlnniont nf M1U1 Ul J/UKl.tii, 111V/ W*. plant food most needed in excess in : potato production, liberal applications of well rotten barnyard illations will be found to be very effective, in helping to reduce this shortage, and to correct the physical condition of the soil, j Barnyard manure should be applied broadcast,' 8 to 10 tons per acre, and thoroughly diseased into the j soil. Tn the use of commercial fertilizer, apply in the drill, using 800 to 1000 pounds per acre, and thoroughly mix with the soil; otherwise, a poor stand may be obtained as the result of the contact of fertilizer and tubers. Preparatory to planting, reopen the furrows and drop the tubers or j parts of tubers 14 to 16 inches apart | in the drill covering to a depth of i 3 to 6 inches, depending upon the ; character of the soil?heavier soils i planted more shallow than lighter soils. Packing the soil about the; tubers, either by stepping directh upon the tuber when dropped, or by. use of a light roller following cov-. ering, insures a much better stand, i If the tubers of the spring crop of ^the current year are used for planting the second, or fall crop, "sproutting,''preparatory to planting, will be very helpful in obtaining a stand, i This mav hp done bv drying the tu-! bers 10 t0 14 days and spreading j upon the ground in a cool shaded 'place, covered with straw to a depth of 3 to 6 inches and watering sufficiently to saturate the strawbut by no means such as to cause I the tubers to become drenched. Frequent shallow cultivation, either by harrowing across or with the rows, should be given at inter-1 vals of one week, or as soon after each rain as soil conditions will per-! mit, until a good stand is obtained:1 after which, such as may be necessary to keep the crop in a high state of cultivation. Under normal conditions. from 00 to 110 days from planting will be required to make the crop, o South Carolina is expected to raise $1,5000,000 as its share 0f the capital stock of the cotton corporation. i plaintiff wins suit in conn Andrew J.
