WEATHER AND CROPS
Summary of Conditions Given Out
, By tho Department.
The week ending .8 a. mk, Monday,
August 3rd. had a mean temperature of
82 degrees, which in about 2 degrees
above normal. The early part
was excessively hot, the latter
had at&ut , normal temperatures.
Tho wlhds were generally light,
bufc bo mo damage resulted from
high winds In tlje western counties.
The relative humidity waa abnormally
low during the first half if the week,
causing vegetation to wilt during the
da>?ime and even at night, but the
second half was more humid. About
nofipal sunshine prevailed during the
week.
The week's rainfall, as reported by
correspondents, was comparatively
light and consisted of widely scattered
local showers, that ' were very benefi
cial where they oc9urred, as rain was
needed over the whole State, but many
places had none or else Insufficient
amounts. During the last two days ad
ditional rains occurred, that are not
covered by the reports, and the show
ers were quite general and heavy in
the central counties, but were light in
the extreme western and extreme
eastern ones. These late rains thor~
oughly relieved tho drought over a
large portion of the State, and to that
extent were of gre^t benefit.
The week's weather was generally
^adverse, especially during the fifst
naif .in its effects on crops, especially
on corn, owing to the h^at and dry
ness of the air, and lack of moisture in
the surface soil, but farm-work prog
ressed favorably and~ nearly all crops
have been laid by.
Late corn In the eastern, and early
corn In the western counties suffered'
considerable Impairment for want of
raih, and fired badly; and- is in a criti
cal condition; while early corn in the
eastern, and' late in the western coun
ties suffered but little, the former being
about ripe, and the latter being not
yet in silk and tassel. Bottom land
90m is . fairly promising.
Cotton suffered eomewhat* from lack
of moisture* although on stiff and rich
lands, the effects of the dry weather
were principally t6 check its heretofore
rapid growth and cause It to bloom to
Its tops, but on light, sandy soils cot
ton not only stopped growlng'hut also
began to shed its leaves and fruitage:
Portions tof the .crop are well fruited
and still blooming freely, while a
smaller portion is not well fruited and
Is in a generally poor, unsatisfactory
condition. Sea-lslan<J cotton maintain
ed Its healthy color, but Its growth
Tobacco curing Is nearly ^nKBed In
the eastern districts, and about half
finished In the central and western
ones. The hot weather and absence of
rain ?wcre - ayeweble oa rice. Peas
doing well, atweet potatoes are exceed
ingly promising. Much hay was secured
inrprlme condition. Late fruits are
variable, hut only fair at best. In
places, preparations are underway for
ftllVhd wihter crops.

ed, however, Mr Neill Freeman sur
rendered to Sheriff McLeod stating

house and 'started in the gate, all of
them carrying sticks, and frightened
his children, who had been left at
home while Mr. ?Y&eman went to

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL!
Southern Statistics.
Baltimore, Bpoclal. ? In last week's
Issue The Manufacturers' Record pee!
eents figures of assessed valuation of
property for each of the Southern
States in 18$0, 1880, 1890, 1900 and
1902 as the basis for an estimate that
the complete figures of Uk wusus of
1900 will show the South possessed In
that .year more than 114,000,000,000
worth of proporty of al!k kinds, only
about $2,000,<fy0,000 less than that
possessed by" the whole country in
1860. Those , preliminary figures ob
tained from Qfilclal sources enable one
to trace the growth of material
wealth in the South during tho past
20 years. , Tho MJuuif acturers' Record
says:
"These figures show an increase be
twoen 1860 and 1880 In assessed valua
tion averaging about $26,000,000 a
year, the actual increase, of course,
having been largely made with., the
lightening of the reconstruction bur
den. Between 1880 and 1890 the as
sessed valuation Increased from $3,
061,176^098 to $4,669,614,833, or $1,.
608,339/736 an avorage of $160,000, ?
000 a year. Id the next ten years the
Increase was to $6,457,653,031, or but
$798,038,198, an average of/less than
$90,^00,000 a .'year. But .tyurfng the
nexl two years, between 1900 and
190ir there was an advance to $5,
"916,960,7^2, or $4B9, 407.681, more than
half tho advsnco between 1890 and
1900. The total advance between 1880
and 1902 was $2,365,785,614, or nearly
94 per cent.
"Material betterment of the South
thus Indicated is more clearly shown
in comparing the true valuation of
property In the South with that of
property in the rest of the country.
The Increase in true Valuation be
tween 1860 and 1880 wfcs from $6.286, -
214,108 to $7,605,000, or $1,218,745,892'
equal to only 19 per cent. In the South
while in the rest of the country It
was from $9,873,401,960 to $88,189,000,
000, or $26,263,698,040, equal to 266
per cent. Durtpg the /Q6Zf ten y*ars,
wllh the wonderful Industrial, agri
cultural and railroad expansion in the
South, the rates of Increase In the
South and lh the rest of the country
became about the same. Between 1880
and 1890 the true valuation 'increased
from $T,505,000,000 to $11,150,582,804,
or $3,645,532,304 equal to 48 W cent,
in the South and In the rest of the
country the tttcrdtote was from $36,
187,000,000 to $53, 886,518, 8*3, equal to
$17, 749, 558*898, or 49 per cent
"If there was the same rate of ln
crease between 1890 and 1900 a^be
t ween 1880 . gad . Iff? the true ?rntna
tfen of properdin the South for 1900
would be 116, 717,810,000: If the attual
