The week ending 8 a. ro., Monday,
September 14th, had a mean tempera
ture of 77 degrees, which ia about X de
gree above normal. The temperature
conditions were favorable, although
cool nights are complained, of in some
localities. The sunshine was normal, or
above, and the relative humidity low
during the daytime and moderately
high at nights. The winds were light
easterly.
The extreme western border cohntieg
and the coast counties had light but
Quite general rains, that were highly
beneficial the interior of the State had
none, except that widely separated
places had light but Insufficient show
ers. The average for the State was only j
0.11 of an inch. All crops are suffering
for rain.
Late corn failed^ rapidly on all but
mot?t bottom lands, owing to drought,
art will be a failure on light soils.
With only' one or two exceptions to
the contrary, reports on ,cottoa indi
cate further deterioration during the
week due to shedding, premature open
ing and the rapid spread of rust, owing
to lack of moisture. Much cotton is
dead oji sandy lands. Therg is little
prospect of a top crop. Boll worms apd
caterpillars afe'repoTted from Barn

some prematurely, over the whoje
State and picking is general, and under
the favorable weathe^ for the work'
made rapid progress.; Sea- Island cotton
Is less promising owing to shedding
and the appearance of blight.
The weather was favorable for rice
harvesting, that progressed rapidly,
but yields are somewhatdirfappolntlng?
Large quantities pea-vine
hay and other tyr^b were saved in fine
condition. All /minor cropB have failed
for want of rain, but th? dry weather
will add to the keeping qualities of

continues. Llule plowing has been done

The Bulgarian Government Claim*
Ttiat the Turks Are Carrying on a
- War of extermination. ...
Sofia, By CSble. ? The Bulgarian j
government, through ita foreign repre.
senative^ has addressed a note to the
great powora, declaring that thq Porte
ia systematically devastating Mace
donia and massacreing the Christian
population. Further, it aaya, Turkey,
has mobilized her whole army, which
cannot possibly be (or the sole pur
pose of auppressing the revolution.
Therefore, the Bulgarian government
appeals to the humane sentiment of
Europe to prevent the continuance of
the massacres and devastation and to
stop the mobilization of the Turkish 1
army. ,Tho memorandum concludes
with the plain statemnt that unless
the powers intervene, Bulgaria will be
forced to take such measured as she
may deem necessary.
~ ? A Guerilla Warfare,
Sofia, **y Cable, ? Warned by pre
vious disastrous experiences, the revo
lutionary leaders have decided to adapt
only guerilla tactics in Eastern Mace-,
donia. The policy of occupying the
towns and villages has proved a mis
take, as it has usually resulted In Tur
key re-occupying the villages, destroy
ing everything and .killing the inhabi
tants. A guerilla warfare is expected
to exhaust the Turks much sooner,
while the unhampered bands can movo
more easily and more rapidly. It is
hoped that the new tactics will result
ia the women and children being apar
?d unnecessary dangers. ' The insurg
