Crop Service.
Below will bo found Section Direc
tor Bauer's wcokly crop bulletin for
tho past week from one or more cor
respondents in each county of I lie
State :
"Tho week was favorable for cleaning
crops, and there is but Initio complnint
of grafts. It was also favorable for
growth, and all crops, with the excep
tion of cotton, made satisfactory ad
vance. Farmers are well up with their
work, and the agricultural situation is
very encouraging a* far as promised
production is concerned.
Corn was novcr inoro promising
generally, although on sandy soil, in a
few counties whore there bavo been ex
cessive rains, early corn was slightly
"yellowed," and two correspondents
reported corn "firing." Lato plant
ing has n good color and is well culti
vated with enough moisturo to muko
continuous and rapid growth.
The reports on cotton are lees favor
able, especially during tho early
part of the week, but latterly an im
provement was noted. Iiico and
cool nights retarded the develop
ment of cotton, but with the |L\cep
tion of small ureas, where stands wero
killed but, no permanent injury is ap
parent. Lice Boomed to bo decreas
ing at the end of the week. Tho
plant turned yellow and tho lower
leaves dropped oil' in Kershaw, Wil
liamsburg, Florence, Lexington,
Orangeburg, Berkeley, Chesterfield,
Colleton and Spartanburg Counties,
lbist and shedding in a few localities.
Cotton continues in advance of the
season. A correspondent of Anderson
has kept a record of first blooms for a
long series years and reports the ear
liest bloom noted in former years on
Juno l.'l, 1848. This year on June
, 7th; in Kdgcficld the lirht bloom noted
rui June 8d, the average time June
lHth, and so throughout the State. In
some portions nearly full grown bolls
are noted. In places the plant iff
large, but not fruiting well; it is gen-r
erally putting ? on weed freely aiuj
fruiting heavily. While cotton has de
teriorated during tho week it is
still in fair condition and lately im
proving.
Wheat and oats threshing uotiring
completion, with generally fair yields
of tho former and poor of tho latter
grain.
Reports on tobacco showed a dccidt d
improvement in enrlv planted, whi<h
in portions of Florcnco will soon be
ready to cut. Condition of later plant
ing less Jtavorablo with improvement
apparepfv
Peiro i(ro coming up to excellent
*tofids/6nd quantities continue to I o
Ranted on stubble lands.
Bico and corn are making go< d
growth.
Melons Are ripening; some shipmcn's
from the lower counties. General y
tLa melon crop promises to bo a la>ge
one, but unhealthy condition of vines
is noted in Loxington and Richland.
Gardens improving, as arc pastur* r.
Frnit of all kinds continue to dr< p

('apt. E. B. Fuller, sevon*i cavalry,
in in charge of the department, having
assumed this duty on June 13, 1805.

Those cadets reported without uni
form lmvo been unable to secure them
y frtrtrr ift<r cr&rttraetor through no fanit of
their own or of tho college authorities.
The cadets aro organized into a regi
ment of two battalions with full comple
ment of oflleers, except tho colonel aud
lieutenant colonel. Tho majors nrq
graduates of tho Houth Carolina Mili
tary academy, and also instructors iu
tho acadomio department. Tho cere
mony of review was handsomely and
accurately executed. Tho march past,
alignment, etc., wcro good. Tho
general nppeurauco and bearing of tho
cadets during iuspeotion woro vory
good. Tho arms were in very good
condition ? cleaner than usual in rimilar
institutions. Tho uniforms, as a rule,
wcro clean and neat; tliero were soveral
pairs of soiled gloves noticed.
Tho get-up of tho cadets was notice
ably good. Everything ? bearing, con
duct and general appearance ? indicatod
a healthy condition, intelligent and
couccicntious work on the part of tho
responsible oflleers,
Kach battalion was drilled in tho
close order movemouts of tho drill re
gulations. Each acquitted itself with
credit; all movements wcro executed
without an error in command and with
commendable accuracy in detail. Tho
only deficiencies uoticcd were of the
kind that practico and drill will speed
ily correct. r The sotting upoxereies
woro well dono; tho command was not
prepared to go through tho bayonet ex
erciser. Each captain was required to
drill hia company through tho closo
order movemouts of company drill, in
cluding tho manual of arms; each did
well? no deficiencies ofauy movomont
were observed. Thero han been no
drill in tho extended ordor; it will be
taken tip latter. Tliore lias been no
practical iuwti notion iu minor tactics;
no tnrgot practice, and no fligualing
with heliograph or lantern.
Four stations wore established nnd o
mefsiigo of 1(5 words was sent through
tho ling without error iu 31 minutos.
There has been no instruction in ar
tillery beyond instructing a detach
ment suflleient to Uro a salute, Tho
college authorities hope to secure n
'2 breech loader. A guard is main
tained daily after tho West Poiut sys
tem.
Thrco-quartors of an hour per day,
excopt Saturdays and Sundays, is de
voted to practical instruction.
Tho theoretical instruction iuclmlo
army regulations. One hour per week
is allotted to this instruction, which,
is attended by tho souiors and juniors.
Tho graduating class was assembled
and questioned ou tho course. Tho
result was not as satisfactory as tho
proficiency in tho practical course led
mo tooxpcot; this featuro of the mili
tary department needs more attention
and requires more time for its proper
development.
Captain Fuller is exceptionally well
qualified for his duties by nature, ex
perience and profost-ional Attainments.
Ho has boen handicapped in his work
hero by frequent and somewhat
prolonged absence on duty, none of
which, however, could havo been
avoided, except the detail with tho
South Carolina Military academy lust
summer. lie should not l>o detached
for such work for this school does not
stop operations during the summer.
Tho session begins iu March and
continues until tho '20th of Decombor;
for this reason this intditutiou should
not ho inspected in October or No
voinbor.
The military department is in a very
satisfactory condition, showing im
provement and development at every
turn over last year. It should bo cou
tjnued. Ver y respect fully,

TheOeorgla fruitVrop, which up to a month

Tho can so of this failure of tho crop Is ?lu?
to tho long dry spell In May and tho ravage
of Insects. From all parts of tho State re
port* com? that tho fruit Is dropping off tho
trees, and conservative men estimate that tho
fruit crop of tho stato this year will p**
amount to moro than half n full crop.

1(0 Will Not Stand for ltc-KIcctlon In
the Senate.
Tho Laurons corrcspoudont of the
Stato, iu a short intorviow with Sena
tor Irby, asked tho following question:
"Will you bo at Manning next Mouday
senator?" To which the senator paid :
"I shall not- attend that or any cara->
]>aign meeting an a candidate for tho
United States senate. I had intended
up to a short timo ago to a/tk for tho
nomination at I ho ensuing primary ,
but havo concluded not to cutor tho
content. From advices recoiyed from
difloront Bcotions of tho Stutc I con
cludo that my motives nml my ofllci.d
nets for tho Inst yonr have boon misun
derstood by tho faction of which I was
a ohnrtor member. It is apparent from
these advices that I must antagonize
those with whom T have co-operated
politically sinco 188(5. It seonis that
tho entiro mnohinory of tho party
govornmont has boon organized to
hunuliato, defeat and destroy mo.
This would uot havo boon done but for
a misunderstanding of my motives iu
opposing tho equal division of delegates
to tho Constitutional convention, the de
fense 'of tho narno of Uutler in tho con
vention, my opposition to the plan of
sutYrago an adopted and tho uncom
promising position taken by mo in op
position to a bolt in tho late State
Democratic convention. In addition,
if I woro to run with my old frieuds
organized against me, I could only ex
pect support from thoso heretofore
my political opponents, wbioh would
bo distastcfiil to mo, as tlioy owo mo
no favors.
"Iu arming at this conclusion, I
desiro to say that I cherish no spleen
towards those who I beliovo miucon
strjo my motives and political course
recently, and confidently anticipate
tho futuro to vindicate these positions
aud policies."

AYER'S ARGUMENT. ;
If th?w is any reason why you should use
any sarsaparilla, there is every reason why you
should use Ayer's. When you take sarsaparilla
you take it to cure disease; you want to be cured
as quickly as possible and as cheaply us possible.
Tkat is why you should use Ayer's: it cures
quickly and cheaply ? and it cures to stay, Many
people write us : "I would sooner have one bottle
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla than three of any other
kind." A druggist writes that "one bottle of
Ayer's will give more benefit than six of any other
kind." If one bottle of Ayer's will do the work
of three it must have the strength of three at the
cost of one. There's the point in a nutshell. It.
