Dryest May in Forty Years.
For the State of South Carolina
as a whole the month of May was
the dryest suffered in over 40
years, according to a statement
of the Columbia weather bureau.
The station of the United States
^ -i Q- a I
weather bureau in uoiumDia nas
only been established 24 years
but stations on the border of the'
State that have been in service
for over 40 years show the record
for May dryness was broken
during the past month. The
total precipitation for May was
only 0.70. The deficiency of the
month as compared with the normal
was 2.49.
During the month of May 16
days were clear, 11 days were
partly cloudy and four were
cloudy. On only two days did
.01 inch of precipitation occur.
According to official reports
every State in the cotton belt l
needs good rains. The high
temperatures would not be a
drawback in most localities if!
sufficient moisture were falling ,
to keep the plant growing. Warm (
nights right now are an advantage
that the crop seldom has.
Without rain, however, the high 1
temperatures are adding to the 11
injury being worked. ii
At the end of last week the (
worst complaints were coming1
from the Carolinas, parts of 1
Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi anu
Louisiana. All other States,
however, needed rain but not as
badly as the ones mentioned. It
was claimed that in parts of
Mississippi cotton was failing
to germinate because of the excessive
dryness of the soil.
Rev. R. A. Yongue Injured.
Fort Mill people will read with
regret the following account, as
published in the Chester Reporter
Monday, of the accidental
injury which befell Rev. R. A.
Yongue on Sunday:
"Rev. R. A. Yongue, pastorof
Chester circuit, was thrown out
of his buggy and painfully hurt
yesterday while returning from
preaching. His buggy was filled,
and he was standing on the back
of the vehicle, when the horse
took, fright, and Mr. Yongue was
pitched out. His head struck ;
the ground, and he was knocked '
senseless by the impact. He was
also badly shaken up and bruised
otherwise, but fortunately no
limbs were broken. Rev. Mr.
Yongue will prooably have to be
confined to his bed for several
days, but his many friends all
over the county will be glad to
learn tnac nis injuries are nut
y y
serious.

Cotton Acreage in 1910.
The bureau of statistics, United
States department of agriculture,
has made a revision of its preliminary
estimate of the area
planted to cotton last year, based
on the resultsof a special investigation
and the report by the bureau
of the census of the quantity
of cotton ginned last year. The
revision indicates that the area
planted to* cotton in 1910 was
about 33,418,000 acres, instead of
133,196,000 acres as estimated last
June. The yield of cotton
per acre in 1910 is estimated at
170.7 pounds, and the area picked,
32,403,000 acres.
It Sho' Was Dry.
The present drought calls to
mind an item published in the
Charlotte Observer in March,
1905, concerning the dryness of
that city, Observer said:
It was so dry and hot in Charlotte
yesterday that the wagons
went about with their tongues
hanging out, and ice had to be
soaked in water before it was wet
enough to make lemonade. The
cat fish kicked up such a dust in
1 the bed of Town creek that the
river will have to be sprinkled be
fore the boys can go tishing this
( morning. A spark from the smoke
, stack at the water-works' pump
set the city pond on fire and
burned up a wagon load of bull
. frogs before the blaze could be
' extinguised. and the ground is so
, hard and dry in the nearby bot'
toms that the crawfish holes will
j be pulled up, and used as gas
) pipes.
The cook's medicine gave out.
From now until October we
shall have the opportunity to ob
serve the value of shade and
r ornamental trees. How much
2 they add to the appearance, com,
fort and value of premises is
inestimable. The breezes seem
j to come there oftener and stay
longer; the birds make their home
n there and add their glad songs tc
t the beauty of the surroundings.
More attention to these friends
on our streets and premises would
j be a good investment
