Crop Conditions Disheartening. Yorkville, 8pecial.;r-It is general ly conceded that there has been a marked improvement in the condition of the cotton crop in those sections of tho county where the rainfull has not been excessive during? the past two weeks, while there has been a marked decline in the general con dition of corn owing to. the inab^L ity of the farmers to give it pfrwer attention because , of excessive rain fall. While some fields are in fav orpblQ condition, taken as a whole, the corn outlook is anything but en* couraging. In some neighborhoods the farmers have been unable to get in more than six or eight days ^rith their plows during the past month, while in many instances others living within two or three miles have been able to plow almost constantly.

As the rosult of en epidemic of the deadly anthrax, which broke out- hero recantly, one man, four horses, nnd forty cows have died. This Infectious dis ease. one of the hardest to stamp out in cattle, scorns already well de veloped here. Theodore Wright, , aged fifty, caught the disease while indulging in a piece of bravado.

It Is supposed that the bacilli found entrance through sotue little break iu the skin of Wrigbt'B neck. Ilia face and throat began to swell In two days. Prostration followed a fever, and from this 'Mr. Wright could not rally, dying In agony after five days. Albany, N. Y.-~ Acting Chief Veter inarian J. K.

Hetween twenty-flve and thirty cat tle havtf" died In Orange County from the disease. One farmer and dairy man lost eleven cowb out of a herd of thirty-one. A peculiar feature of the present outbreak was the exhibition of high temperature and the usual symptoms of Anthrax In somo of the infected herds and the sudden lowering of the animals' temperature after vaccina tion and their recovery and In some Instances recovery without vaccina tion. This Is believed to be due to the attack being in a mlRler form. The present outbreak was reported to tho department about ten days ago. In all such casea veterlnarles were1 at once sent to tho district, and the farmers were Instructed what to do. There jjre other parts of the State that periodical!/ have outbreaks of anthrax among cattle. At this time In St. Lawrence and Franklin Coun ties the vaccination of herds is go ing on as It dl4 last year, vand no deaths have been reported, nut no less than forty or fifty hords are under surveillance there.
