The crop in the tipper half of t lx; state is needing rain, but it is said that if rain falls within the next few days, a good ciop can be pro duced.

Other states are not so fortunate, but last year South Caro lina had one of the poorest crops of t he one ii e cotton belt. The cotton crop as a whole will be .-.hort, it appears fiom the govern ment's report which prophesies ap proximately a million bales shortage. This will *make for higher price. With a high price prevailing and with South Carolina's crop expected to bo excellent .South Carolina is ex pecting a good season.

I'eace There was a certain young map who' found iH? rest an<i went about sorrow ing, To his intimates he vonfined thai he was not at peace. with (Jod, A friend who was a man of modi', cine whs unwilling1 to accept this diagnosis, lit- thrust exploring fingers 'under the man's tib- and .said: "Now take a deep breath, .lust as I s.up posed. Sharp pain, eh? (Jail blad der. I'll give you something to gel the. old liver in shape and you'll be all li^ht." It didn't work .however. The man -sorrowed still. His wife suspected that he v\a- working too hard and sent him off for a vacation. Under a genial sun he loafed and fished, bui try as he would he could not shake off his depression. In despair he consulted a clergyman "The easy way to make peace with (Jod," said that good man, "is on your knees. Prayer will bring you peace." The man prayed. He prayed in the morning and at night, long and fer vently, and it may be t'hat he obtain ed some ? reward; but he was morbid still and the cleft between his eyes deepened with each passing day. Then one morning, surrendering to impulse, he gave his wife a roll of bills and told her to buy herself some new frocks and hats. Still led by impulse, he visited a man he had w 10'nged and made apology. To oven matters and free his mind of a trou blesome thought, he visited another w.i>d had wronged him and loosened three of the gentleman's teeth. Then he calmed his spirit by writing a long letter to his old mother. This done, ho bought a new suit of clothes; and a gorgeous tie, got a shave and a shine and strolled upon the street. He felt generous, forgiving, cour ageous, dutiful, gallant. And as he trolled his shoulders squared and his chest swelled and a complacent smile 'adorned his face. For the first time n months he was- at peace with him 1Clf- - ^ . . "I'or the tirst time in months," said ho, "l am at peace with Clod." ? Foun tain Inn Tribune.
