WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Condition of th? Crop* Thronghont the
Stato.
The following is the weather crop
bulletin for the week ending Monday:
No rain has been reported from any
section of the State "during the past
week, except 0.36 at Kingstree. The
sky has been nearly cloudless, allow
ing the sun to dry up the ground.
The temperature has averaged unusu
ally high, showing in the middle belt
a gain of 47 degrees over "the normal,
an average of nearly 7 degrees a day.
PIEDMONT REGION.
Cotton is opening rapidly and pick
ing progressing with a rush. Some sec
tions report cotton opening premature
ly and ahead of the pickers. The seed
from the coming week's picking will
probably be the best for ne^t year's
crop. Ginning has commenced in
some places and cotton fails to third
itself. W here the ground was highly
manured the staple is strong, but* the
lint from unmanured fields seems im
mature. crop will undoubtedly be
below former estimates; In fact,
Anderson County claims that it will
be the shortest crop since 1881, which
was below one-half crop. Labor is
abundant at 40 cents a hundred for
picking. Sorghum is watery and the
juice makes but little syrup. A large
quantity of hay is being made. Peas
hf Union County have lately made
a vigorous growth: the vines are large
with a heavy crop of well filled young
pods.
MIDDLE BELT.
The weather has favored gathering
of all crops and dried the ground ex
cept in lower bottoms. Cotton is open
ing very fast, many bolls opening before
being matured. -'Picking generally
progressing rapidly with all hands at
work. Three , more weeks -*>f good
weather aad cotton will be- all open.
Some fields are open except late plant
ed . Many farmers say the the top crop
is lost Labor is reported scarce in
Aiken County. Turnips and gardens
are needing rain. Potatoes are fair.
Peas will soon be ready to gather; they
are improving every day and will
make a fine crop in Lexington Coun
ty, but are bearing very little in Or
angeburg. Immense crops of hay,
pea vine hay and crab grass are being
gathered and conceded to be the bent
^ever grown. Some sorghum is being
made.
eoAsrr region.
June rice recovered soon and is
sheeting and improving nicely. Har
vest of early rice has been pushed with
all possible vigor. Some of the crop
has been milled and marketed. Cot
ton is opening freely, and picking
progressing rapidly, and will be over
soon this year. Along Charleston
coast peaches, pears and cherries are
in full bloom.

CLEVELAND DEFENDED
STEWARTS'S ATTACK AGAINST THE
PRESIDENT ANSWERED.
Senators Morgan and Voorheei Take Occa
sion to Bepel False Statements In
Regard to the President
*
Washington, Sept. 2(5. ? Mr Har
ris, president pro tem presided over
the Senate to day, in the absence of
tbe Vice President.
The attendance was so small that
even before the journal was read, a
call of the House was demanded. The
call produced a quorum and one more.
Mr. Dubois offered the following reso
lution on which, he said, he would ad
dress the Senate tomorrow:
' Wtareas, several sovereign States
arc without full representation whiclj
they are entitled to, therefore, be it
resolved, that the consideration of
legislation relating to the Federal laws,
the tariff and finance matters which
materially. effect the three partially
unrepresented States be postponed in
the Senate, till Monday, January 15,
1894, to enable the States of Washing
ton, Monrfana and Wyoming to have
the votes, influence and. protection irf
?the Senate which are guaranteed to
every sovereign State by; the C V) nst.it u
tion.of the United States."
The resolution offered yesterday, by
Mr Peffer, caWhig for information as
to tbe anticipatioiTSif interest on the
public bonds since 1861 was laid be
fore the Senate, discussed briefly, and,
then on motion of Mr Quay, laid on
the table; yeas 27; nays 19.
The repeal bill was taken up at
12:10 and Stewart continued his de
nunciation of President Cleveland for
a time. He yielded the floor to Mr
Dubois, who in turn gave way to Mr
Perk in 8, (Rep.) of California. It was
Mr Perkfas* first speech in the body,
except when, -he pronounced aeulogy_
on the- life and character of his pre
decessor, Senatofv.Stanford. His voice
was fall and clear, And his speech at
tracted attention. He conceded that
the Sherman law ufas faulty but he
did not believe it was guilty in the
manner or degree charged either by
evidence adduced or proved. He saw
other causes pending which depressed
our industries andimpaired that con
fidence in the future upon\ which those
industries thrive. He believed it wise
to expunge the offending Taw from our
code of finance, but he was anxious on
the other hand that in doing so, neith
er Congress nor the country should
make any mistake. He telt it his duty
before voting for the repeal act to use
every honorable means in his power
to have coupled with it a declaration
that it cannot be construed as~commit
ting the United States to the single,
gold standard. Popular government
wa9 a government of compromise and
where no compromise was, there was
anarchy or despotism.
To him Chat would abruptly strip
silver of its monetary character Jie
would commend a Sciiptual injuria
tion: "Come let us reason together."
He suggested that Congresa first re
peal the purchase clause; second, de
clare the unfaltering purpose of the
United States to maintain the double
standard; third, open the mints to
American silver with a minting charge
sufficient to keep the coinage within
the demands of trade; fourth, coin no
more gold pieces, of less than #5 de
nomination and issue no more curren
cy of less denomination; fifth, issue
circulating notes to the full equivalent
of the coin in the Tisasury; sixth,
make clear the power and duty of tE^
Secretary of the Treasury to purchase'
gold; seventh, preserve those features
of the national banking system thait
give secure and universal currency re?
quiring the everlasting maintenance
of the public debt; and' eighth, pro
vide for a commission o? monetary ex
perts not connected with the govern
ment to keep it advised on all neces
sary matters relating to currency.
Mr Perkins argued at length in favor
of these propositions, which, he said,
would result in the maintenance of the
double standard.
Afler Mr Perkins, Senator Stewart
again continued bis defense of the
Senate, as he terms it It soon be
came necessary to have a roll call to
secure a quorum, but Mr Stewart was
not ready to finish his speech today.
Mr Morgan rose to a personal ex
planation, alluding to the article in a
Netf York paper which.; had been ,
read in the fr^enate reproducing the
President's words at the Capitol Cen
tennial Celebration. He said that he
had not heard them or read them be
fore today. He did not construe that
remark as a rebuke to either house of
Congress. If it had been so in
tended, it would have been very un
worthy of the President on snch an
occasion. It might just as well be
supplemented by a statement or pas
sionate views on public questions.
That would l>e quite as reprehensive
as to say that the Senate or House
could be .influenced by the like mo
tives. Having read the portion of
the article imparting to himself, per
sonal and political enmity toward
Cleveland, he said: "I am very hap
py to state that between the Preaiden
and myself there exists the most cor
dial personal relations. They . JiSvtT
always existed, and I hope they
ever will; for I esteem and prise him
very highly in all personal re
spects and in his~ public career. A.
think that the history of Mrx Clave
land it a history which illustrates
some of the highest properties of the
Amerfcsa character. I differ with
Mr. Cleveland in some of his views of
i L- i- r: ? 1-'' : I
i I " "
public policy. I do not think thai I
differ with him on any questions that
are vital to the country or vital to the
Democratic party."
With this statement Mr. Morgan
said he felt justified in saying that in
|his particular article the paper play
ed the part simply of a mischief maker.
Mr. Voorhees had, also, something
to say in regard to the President He
was very glad to hear tte remarks of
the Senator from Alaba&a in regard
to the assault which bad Deen made
upon the President for the last two
days. He desired to account for the
attitude of silence observed on the
Democratic side of the chamber in the
face of the aasault It was that it bad
not been thought necessary to say a
single word in the defense of the Presi
dent from the time he was born in
New Jersey up to the present hoar.
On his side of the chamber; and he
had reason to believe on &e other side
of the chamber, and all over the cpun
try, Mr. Cleveland's defense had been
fully made by the American people
themselves. His great aod power hi 1
career disarm*^ all such assaults as
had been made upon him. Whatever
of fault the Senator from Nevada
might have found in Mr. Cleveland's
career, the American people bad not
seen it in that way. Whatever of
criticism the Senator from Nevada
might have indulged in the American
people had not shared that criticism
with him. Nobody was perfect Hu
man Harare was infirm. - "The loftiest
characters were not infallible. But be
ventured to say that in American his
tory the career of 6kpver Clevffland,
his character, achievements, his honor,
his patriotism and his abilities woujfl
stand in the foremost line, in spite of
all the assaults Which had been made.
Whether Senators differed with Mr.
Cleveland or agreed with him, nobody
foiled to recognize his stalwart and
powerful character and his high in
tegrity. He hoped that this little
tribute would be taken as sufficient to
account for the fact that the Demo
cratic side of the chamber would not
-feel called upon to enter upon any
defense of the President unless some
thing far more important was charged
against him than had been charged
up to this time. r
The Senate at 6 p. m., after a short
executive session, adjourned until to
morrow at 1 1 a. m.

CLEVELAND'S SOUMT SENSE
THE PRESIDENT STATES HIS POSl
j TION ON FINANCE.
!
He Want* Good, Sound, Stable Money, and
ContldcDce to Keep Ft In Use*
Unconditional Repeal
the Safe Remedy
Atlanta, Ga., Sept 27.-rThe
Constitution will, print tomorrow a
letter from President Cleveland to
Governor Northen, in which the
President states his position on the
financial question at sonie length.
The letter is in reply to one written
by Governor Northen on the 15th
inst The Governor refuses to give
his own letter out for publication, bnt
it is known that it presented a graph
ic condition of Abe political situation'
in Georgia and the South and urged
upon the Presiden&he expediency of
a public utterance from him more
comprehensive than his recent mes
sage as to the proper policy -to be
pursued by Congress upon questions
affecting ithe stringency of the times
and neecfe of the people.
It is understood that in his letter,
Governor Northen* pointed out the in- 1
roads being made , in Democratic
ranks by the Populists by reason of
the neglect or delay on the part of the
Democratic majority in Congress to ]
meet legislation on th^ line of the
party platform and pledges. He
dwelt especially upon the financial
condition apd-political interests of the
formers of the South, who constitute
so great a proportion of the Democra
cy. : 5 '
The President's reply to that letter
was received this evening and* is as
follows: - |
Washington, D. C., Sept 25, '93.
Hon. W. J. Northen.
Dear Sir: I hardly know how to
reply to your letter of the 15th inst
It seems to'me that I am quite plain
ly on record concerning the financial
question. My letter accopting the
nomination to the Presidency, when
read in connection with the message
lately sent to CongresB in extraordi
jiitry session, appeara to .me to be very
"explicit
I want a currency that is stable
and safe in the hands of our people.
I will n$t knowingly be implicated in
a condition that will jpstly make me,
in the least degree, answerable to any
laborer or farmer in the United States
for a shrinkage in t}e purchasing
power of the dollar h$ has received
for a full dollar's worth -of the product
of his toil. I not onl/ want our cur
rency to be "of such. -a' character that
all kinds of dollars will be of equal
purchasing power at home, but I
want it to be of such .& character as
will demonstrate a broader wisdom
and good faith, thus placing upon a
..firm foundation efth* credit among the
nations of the earth.
1 want our financial condition and
the laws relating^ to our currency so
safe and reassuring that those who
have money will spend and invest it
in business and new enterprises in
stead of hoarding it You cannot
cure fright by calling it foolish and
unreasonable and you cannot prevent
the ^frightened man from hoarding his
money.
I want good, sound and stable
money, and a condition of confidence
that will keep it in use. Within the
limits of what I have written, I am a
friend of silver, but I believe its
proper place in our currency can only
be fixed by a re adjustment of our
currency legislation and the inaugura
tion of a consistent and comprehen
sive financial scheme. I think that
such a thing can only be entered upon
profitably and hopefully after the re
peal of the law, which is charged with
all our financial woes. In the present
state of the public mind, this law can
not be built upon, nor patched in such
a way as to relieve the situation.
I am, therefore, opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver by
thiar country alone and independently,
and I am in favor of the immediate
and unconditional repeal of the so
called Sherman law.
I confess I am astonished by the
opposition in the Senate to such
prompt action as would relieve the
present unfortunate situation.
My daily prayer is that the delay
occasioned by such opposition may
not be the cause of plunging the
country into deeper depressionfrthan it
has yet known, and that the Demo
cratic party may not be justly held
responsible for such a catastrophe*
Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland.

THE SWITCH WAS OPENED. ^
The Worut Wreck in the History of the
Is. * N. Road.
Mobile, *Ala, Sept 23.? A Gulf
Port, Mm, special to the Daily Reg
ister says: The worst wreck in the
history of the Mobile and New Or
leans division of the Louisville and
Nashville was that which occurred
here this morning at 1 o'clock. Pas
senger train No. 2, consisting of three
sleepers, passenger and smoking
coaches, mail, baggage and \express
car and engine ana beqder wenfc^into
an open switch! The (rain was gun
ning forty-five miles an hour when the
Occident occurred. Investigation by
the railroad officials, after the accident,
showed that the switch, which had
been properly set and locked, had
-been opened. Tne lock was broken
off with a large pine knot and. thrown
away. Three negro tramps riding on
the baggage, between ike tender aud
the baggage car, were killed. Anoth
er tramp was probably fatally injured.
The engineer and fireman dangerous
ly hurt and two postal clerks, the ex
press messenger and baggage master
were slightly wounded.
The casualties are: Killed? 'John
Allison, George Anderson and Wm.
Robinson, negro tramps. Wounded
? Frank Coffin, engineer, of Mobile,
serious internal injuries, head and
face badly cut; George Morgan, fire
man, negro*- New/ Orleans. left foot
crushed and Amputated, severe scalp
wounds; Louis Robinson, tramp, dan
gerously internally injured; Joseph
Hughes, Algiers, Ala* postal clerk;
E. C. Caro, New Orleans, postal
clerk; Wm. Lock, Greenville, Ala.,
express messenger, and Henry King
ston, Greenville, Ala, baggageman,
were slightly hurt The escape of the
passengers jrora injury seems almost
miraculous. .
The train left Mississippi City ten
minutes late and the engineer was
running to make up lost time. When
the, engineer struck the switch frog it
jumped so that the flanges rode on
top of the rail thirty or forty yards,
then left the trafek. to the right and
plunged through an empty box car
on the siding. .Engineer Coffin and
Fireman Morgan gallantly stuck to
their pJosts and attempted to apply athe
air brakes. This shock uncoupled
the tender, which kept on the main
track, riding on its wheel flanges till
a hundrdf ^ards beyond where the
engine was Mcked, and as it left the
rails was capsized completely. The
baggage and express car followed the
engine and collapsed alongside of it
The mail car left the track to the left
and was shattered into splinters. The
smoker and passenger coaches fol
lowed the wrecked eDgine and the
baggage car and first-class coach were
piled on top of the smoker. The first
sleeper left the, rails, but remained on
the roadbed. The other two sleepers
did not leave the rail* -
The train reached Mobile at 11:45
a. m. The wounded Hpgro tramp
will die. The physicians think that
no other persons injured are mortally
hurt Physicians from Mobiles-Bay
St. Louis, Mississippi CitylmfrHaLids
bro were sent to Gulf Port by the
railroad officials. A* soon as the
news of the accident was received in
Mobile aud New Orleans this morn
ing early, a wrecking train from Mo
bile and another from New Orleans
were at Gulf Port before daylight
and the wounded #men were given
every attention.

It Will Ever Be Than.
Aiken, S. G\, 2<S. ? A jury of
twelve honest citizens of Aiken county
today administered a crush iug blow to
the Tillman spy sy>tem. E. B. Wil
son was put upon trial under the dis
pensary law, charged with bringing
liquor into the State with intent to
sell the same. After a deliberation of
thirty minutes the jury returned a
verdict of net guilty.
So endeth the first lesson in Aiken
county.
The chief witne? against Wilson
was W. W. Holley, who testified he
was paid $2 a day to hunt out such
violations. He said be went down to
Silver Bluff on the Savannah river
