The South Carolina section of t lit? climate and crop nor vice of the De partment of Agriculture issues, the following olHcial bulletin of weather auA-rop conditions tor tne past week ; The mean temperature for the week ending Monday, August 'Jlf>t, averaged about degrees below nor mal, the lirst and last days halving had nearly normal temperatures and the middle of the week was unreason ably cool, c?j>ecially at night, i'hc extremes were a maximum of 0~> de gress at Florence on the Kith, and a minimum of .r)0 degrees at Florence and Greenville on the 101 h. There were no destructive high winds nor hail storms. Daily rains continued during the lirst of the week over practically the entire State, but the rainfall was much lighter than last week and ranged from over two to less than half an inch, with tile larger amounts generally in the North Carolina bor der counties, where bottom lands were again flooded in places, and crops ser iously damaged. Over the central and eastern portions the rainfall was not materially damaging and in many places was beneficial. The ground was generally loo wet to finish cultivating late corn over the western counties, and the frequent rains interrupted fodder pulling and interferred with the preparation of lands for fall 'truck in the coast sec tions, but induced a rapid growth of peas, grass for hay, turnips and sweet potatoes all of which show improve ment in conditions. While the deterioation of cotton was not as rapid as last week, the conditions that caused it have not materially changed and continued complaints are received of excessive shedding and the spread of the rust, especially oil sandy lands. Shedding was also excessive on clay land cot ton, but on such lands 'the plants maintain a generally healthy color au continue to grow, and bloom. A few correspondents report a slight improvement. Polls are opening rap idly over the eastern counties where picking is well under way, and a few bolls have opened in the extreme west ern counties \vhere. nicking will not be active for a week or so. Except on bottom lands that were flooded, there has been a marked im provement in late planted corn, which now promises to be a full crop. Peas are growing rapidly, and sweet po tatoes have improved as have gar dens and other food and forage crops. Iiice harvest has begun and will be active next week except in the Georgetown district. Late fruits have rotted badly. ? J. W. Ueauer, Section Director. * Will Manufacture Press Cloth. (,'olunibia, Special. ? Columbia will soon have a manufacturing industry of an unique character.

There are but three manufactories of the kind in this country. One is at Brooklyn, another at North Chelmsford, Mass., and the third at Houston, Texas. From these come the cloth used in this country. The capitalization of the new plant will be $50,000 hut if at the end of a year the industry wprants enlargement the capital will be increased four fold and the plant enlarged.

Hyatt discussed forcibly good roads, diversification of crops, immigration and the cotton question. Ho urged the young men not to abandon tlx* farm and Hock to the towns. Mr. Smith presented in strong language ' the struggle of the coton farmers. He denied emphatically the assertion so often made that farmer's will not "stick together," and showed how by combination and steadfastness they 'have forced the price of cotton from (i 1-2 to 10 cents per pound and that by continued standing together, their great victory will be complete.

Salisbury, N. C., Special.? Engineer Ed. Buliock, in charge of the South ern's night shifting crew in the yards here, was instantly killed shortly after 10 o'clock Monday night at. Hender son's crossing between Salisbury and Spencer, bis body being crushed be tween the tender of his engine and a wild engine, running at a speed of 65 or 70 miles an hour. Engineer Bullock was in tho act of jumping to save hit* life when he lost it. Tho fireman, a i white man named Freeman, jumped and escaped with only slight bruises. Two engines and three freight cars were demolished, the track considera bly torn up, and trallic suspended for for more than two hours, Engineer Bullock, with his engine and three freight cars, was backing, from the Salisbury depot toward Spen cer at a moderate rate of spet-d. A wild engine was seen approaching at a high speed from f.ho "South" yard at Spencer. Fireman Frocmau jumped. When Engineer Bullock realized the danger, he also jumped, but was too lale. In less than thirty - minutes after the accident, and almost before the dead engineer's body had been re move *4^ from the wreckage, a second wild engine started from the shops at Spencer, in the same direction, but was fortunately discovered by the switchman, who threw tho switch and ditched it. But for this timely inter-' vention there would, in all probability have been more loss of life. Cuba's Great Prosperity. Washington, Special.? In a statement furnished to the press the prosperity of Cuba, Senor Quesda, the minister from that island, declared that its prosper ity was such that evea the most opti mistic are surprised. There was no sec tion of the island ,the minister said, which had not received a great, im petus commercially and industrially, and with the continuance of "the excel' lent sanitary conditions, the Increasing production and investments, it is to bo expected that in a few years the wealth of the country will be doubled." The statement, continuing, says in part: "The receipts for the fiscal year end ed June 30th, 1905, were $01,750,095, cents omitted throughout, of which $25,944,322 was from public revenues and $35,806,773 from special accounts, of which $31,677,366 was the product of the loan for the payment of the Cu ban army. The custom receipts were $4,848,942 more than the previoufrityear. The exportations reached $101,000,077, the Importations $61 , 337,661, leaving a trade balance in favor of Cuba of about $40,000,000. "During the year payments were made to the amount of $14,510,373, of which $17,286,400 was for the regular budget and $23,066,688 for paying the army claims. "Tho total receipts for the year were $65,751,095, which, plus $7,099,144, the balance from the previous year, gives a grand total of $68,984,714. Deducting expenditures, there was a balance of $25,340,307 in tho Cuban treasury on the first of July, which, after making somo allowances for outstanding cred its, leaves about $22,000,000 of surplus. "Part of this will be devoted to pub lic Works and part to serve as basis for the money to be applied to settle the balance due to the army." Hasn't Asked England's Aid. London, By Cable. ?

Hi' is in possession of 1 1 1 <* proposal nuuje by President Itooscvclt to Huron Rosen ill Oyster Hay. Hoforc 1 1 1 * ? President sub IllitiOil liis proposition th.. Russian envoy lie had obtained l in- assent of tin' Japanese Ciovernnient i<i ilif now i ( ioi>H. and, t lioi*< lore, there is nothing in the way of a peace treaty now except till' ref u*a I of Kmperor Nicholas to let disputed articles of I In proposed peace agreement go to 'I lie JJague tribunal for arhitratloti or to some person or persona agreed upon to Kettle the disputed points When President Roosevelt saw Baron Rosen he informed him that the Tokio ( I'ovenmieiit would modify its condi tions in respect of limbing the naval j power of Russia in the Sea of Japan and would withdraw in part its do- I mand for the war vessels interned jn neutral harbors. The question of in demnity and the future ownership of iSakhalieu Island, he said, could very well be left to The Hague tribunal, a court practically created by the Czar, or to a similar hody. This would permit the envoys in Portsmouth to sign a treaty of peace forthwith, postponing the settlement ?.f i In- two disputed articles, but bind nUfl.' *. ... uecept. the decision of The Hague Court. The President informed Baron Rosen there was no doubt of Japan's acceptance, and, therefore, there was no reason why the war Should continue. The Czar stood for tlu> principle of arbitration, and tip* tremendous value of The Habile Court could not be better proved than in the settlement of so weighty a question, it is understood that Baron Rosen thoroughly approved the plan, and perceived that it would solve nil the difficulties in Portsmouth, but he expressed his fear that the Russian Government might decline to recog nize in any way, either through arbitra tion or otherwise, the proposition that Japan is entitled to reimbursement. The feature of the plan by President Roosevelt, communicated through Haron Kosen to Mr. Witte and trans mitted by the latter to Kmperor Nich olas, was based upon the principle of arbitration. Whether the proposal con templates arbitration of all the articles upon which the plenipotentiaries have failed to agree, or only upon the ques tion of indemnity, cannot bestated with posltlveness, but It is more than prob able that it relates only to Indemnity, I or to indemnity and the cession of the Island of Sakhalien. Neither is it possible to say whether the President lias yet made a similar proposition to Japan, but the under standing Is that he had Japan's full assent before he discussed the propo sition with Baron ltosen. The cus tomary diplomatic proceedings In such I a case would be to submit the proposal j simultwieously to both countries, but j there might bo an advantage in secur ing the adherence of one before submit ting it to the other. To Kmperor Nich olas, the author of The Hague pence conference, the suggestion of arbitra tion, which 'frill necessarily immediate ly command the sympathy of t lie public opinion of the world will be particu larly hard to reject. If he agrees, Japan, if she lias not already dou? so, would be all the more bound to submit her claim to the de cision of an impartial arbitrator,- Ac ceptance by both sides would involve a great extension of the principle of ar bitration, as nations have heretofore declined to arbitrate questions involv ing their "honor and dignity." Both Mr. Tnkahira and Mr. Witte in the earlier stages of the conference abso lutely rejected the idea of arbitration; it is very significant that the Japan ese Cabinet has convcued at Tokio to consider grave and urgent matters. CURZON RKPKJXS AS VICKROY. Hi. ileu by Kitc.icner in Fight For Army Control in India. London. ?
