Monday, July 20th. had a mean temperature of 7tt degrees, which Is about '1 degrees below normal. During the middle of the week the nights were too cool for the l)C8t development and growth of cotton, but no other crop was appar ently adversely affected, and the last three days again had more seasonable temperature. There wa» ; considera ble Cloudiness, and the air was humid early in the week, but the last half was sunny, with very low relative hu midity and fresh to brisk, drying winds during the daytime. On the 13th there was rain over the whole state, heavy in places, and it was generally beneficial, tliough not needed in the east central counties, where low lands are still too wet to cultivate, and are grassy, and where some corn and cotton have been de stroyed by the wetness, or will be abandoned owing to their fouf condi tion and the impracticability of clean ing them. There is need of more rain In the north central comHies, where corn and cotton arc beginning to suf fer, but over the rest of the state there is plenty of moisture for the continued rapid growth of all crops. The rainfall averaged 1.14 inches, and in places exceeded 4 inches. There was a i&neral Improvement in crop conditions* during the week, very slight In the east central and north centr&R’ounties, and on sandy lands generally, but marked in the west Central and western ones, and about normal ln the Pee*Dee sections. and crops tha^ have been properly cul tivated. Laying by made rapid progress, but Is much later than usual with Indications that many fields will he laid by in a grassy condition. Karly corn is made In the eastern counties, and is generally well earned, and being laid by in other sections. Young corn has good color and looks promising. The cool night chocked the other wise rapid growtn of cotton somewhat and caused lice to re-appear in places, but generally the crop Is improved and Is in bloom over the whole state, but looks yellow, is small, and is not fruiting well and shedding some on sandy lands. The east central coun ties show least improvement. Many fields will not be In lull bloom until about August 1st. Some cotton has been laid by, and most of It has lieen rid of grass, while much is still grassy and will be laid by In that condition, ttaa island cotton is doinfc well. Tobacco curing continues, and the crop is about half gathered. Rice la shooting and heading although about two weeks late. Peas and sweet po- t&tbes are doing well. Fruit is vari able, but much rotting of peaches is still complained ot. The general con-* dition of minor crops is good. Fall truck planting continues. Tfcft Battle of BttU Bob «a i Civilians IT WAS-SO TllMIt-- which were wt wed ih A BAD C*fl. J WHO TOOK IT FOR A HOLIDAY. quiet* official When the fthock nf Defeat fame There Was a Rapid Kace for Home bv Thousands. Very few people there are who are familiar with the date on which falls the anniversary, of the battle of Bull Run, says the Washington Post. The date is 'remembered by and known to more people and comes nearer being celebrated In Washing ton and the District of Columbia than In any other quarter of the United States. r - The first battle of Bull Run was fought on July 28, Ifitfl, and when that day arrives during the present month It will see large numbers of old veterans, ladles and gentlemen.of tbe older generation and not a few of the younger, celebrating In their oVm way, Ibis, one of tbe list nf un- holldays. Th’lsstatement may be a surprise to many, and cause’some peoplejto^lnqulre why, In view of the tact Chat Bull Run was ‘‘a Uulon de feat and a Confederate stampede,” as one .writer put It, the remembrance of that event has been cherished by Washingtonians until the anniversary of tbe fight has become a sort of half way, unrecognized, unlegaltzed holi day. This, perhaps, is best answered by a venerable gentleman, now fast approaching his 80th year, who for many years has been connected with the Army and Navy Medical Moseum. He said: , ; THE HULL HUN ANNIVERSARY. “Perhaps It is a little hard for out siders and newcomers to understand why we Washingtonians set such store by the anniversary of the battle of Bull Run, but to me the reasons arc clear enough. Now that tbe civil war and its long train of attendant evils are past and gone I dare say it would be utterly Impossible for any one to imagine or to form a correct Idea of the altogether vague, mistaken and even frivolous view that people North and South took of the war at the beginning of the struggle. You see the country had enjoyed a long era of peace. From 1815 down to 1861, almost a half century, there had been war worthy of the name. Of course, there was the Mexican war and the various Indian outbreaks, but trhfcse were left largely to the regular army to settle and did not affect nor convulse the country as a whole. All over the United States the people had settled Into a rut from whiehnothing short of a terrible war could have moved them and bad matters gone on in this way for another half century we would have been a nation more backward than the Boers of South Africa. ‘ “Therefore when the civil war came Tbe Improvement’Is confined to fields <^ n s *des went about tbe matter SOME PLAIN TALK. X.- The Governor Denounces the Recent JtminE In Alken Oowatv.. Gov. Heyward, on his return from a visit to Lexington, Va., denounced the recent terrible crime at Batesburg, and offered a heavy''reward for tbe perpetrators. He said Wednesday morning: “The recent killing of Den nis Head a mob In Aiken county is the climax of a spirit of lawlessness which means danger and disgrace to the State of South Carolina. ‘ I shall administer to the perpetra tors of such an inhuman outrage as stern a rebuke and as condign punish ment as are afforded by the laws of the State. “I fully realize that nothing can be done until theldentity of the slayers has been revealed.' That those who commixed such a deed keep in the dark isWlf-acknowledgement of guilt. Every aid the law affords to apprehend and punish tbe guilty parties will be invoked and 1 shall do my utmost to see that tbe law is vindicated. “In order to farther this t§ t he very best of my ability, and for the additional reason that a determined effort shall be made and kept up, I have offered a .re wan! of 8500 for the apprehension and conviction of the ies.Vfco committed this deed. I to Solicitor Davis in- him of the situation as I have It from the newspapers. ‘ “I regret to say that though I have waited several days for official notice regarding this lawless act, not one report has reached me through the ofltoen of the law, I apt very indig nant about this killing. There seems no reason whatever for i erhne and the action of tbe is entirely Indefensible.” in a lazy, perfunctory, dilatory sort of way, as though onf noisy and blood less battle would settle the dispute forever and a day. This appears all the more amusing to me now, as I look back over the vista of years and think how, early in July, 1861, we Washing tonians got word .that a battle was soon TfiTbe fought but at Bull Run. Our half century of peace had enderr- ed bloody spectacles a decided novel ty and I can remember, as the day drew near, how the city was all a-^ras- tie and agog over what many looked forward to as the greatest-sight of their lives. Had any of Napoleon's veterans dropped into the city a few days before Bull Run he would never have guessed that a battle was im minent. It was more Hke a city get ting ready for a flower carnival, an the rear. He was gf raid that, hr ibe excitement, someone might steal It, but I was anxious to secure a cannon ball and be consented to wait forme until I had secured one, provided ft did not take too long. 1 ran after several, but missed them. Finally, after two or three disheartening at tempts, the rebels fired one shot that played havoc among the infantry In front of us, carrying off the beads of two men whom 1 myself saw fall and scattering the spectators right and left. 1 calculated about tbe spot where tbe ball would strike, guessed right, remained where 1 was standing and beat tbe others to It ^y several yards. The ban blood and before 1 rejoined my com panion I had several offers of tl, 82 and 83 and as hfgfh as 85 for the ball, which 1 declined, preferring to retain tbe grewsome souvenler of the first battle of the long four years’ struggle, which I, at that time, thoqght would be the last. 1 have the ball yet. Yonder It lies In the corner. ~ . SOMETHING poiNG. “I had no more -friend before both he and 1 became aware that something extraordinary was In progress^ As 1 climbed in the buggy 1 noticed several artillerymen jelde pastat a dead gallop, with their harness traces cut, I had read of Na poleon’s retreat from Moscow, and of I other retrograde movements, but lit‘ ooa was some time before I could get It through my head that a retreat was In progress. When I left the hill the battle seemed to be raging in a man ner which, to a’ clvllltan like thyself, seemed quite ideal and proper, and 1 could not understand the meaning of these artillerymen, who werfc now fly ing past In rapidlyiocreaslhgnumbers. I looked at my companion and he at me and then we asked each other: ‘Is this a retreat?’ " —— “We drove leisurely along at first, & trlflle alarmed, and slowly Increasing bur speed as the meaning of the thing began to dawn upon our minds. We tried- to stop several artillerymen, so as to inquire of them whether this was a retreat, who had ordered it, etc., but none of them would remain long enough to give a reply. 1’resently the road became so choked with fly ing cannoneers and cavalrymen, big gies and civilians on horseback that we' 4ere in danger of being overturn ed. Horsemen were bumping into us and I could see men throwing away guns and knapsacks. -Mr companion had bis buggy whip out ready to whip up bis Imrs ■ into a gallop, when some one In the rear yelled: ‘Run for your Hvesi the enemy’s cavalry are upon us.’ ‘That settles It,’ muttered my companion between his, teeth and the way our horse got up and fairly dust ed, under the stimulus of my com panion's whip, was a sight. We passed everything orrtheToad and landed in Washington safe and sound, although our poor animal «tas nearly winded. “The next two days were days of sorrow, fear and trembling for the people of this city. Ev\ ryone expected the Confederates to advance upon storm and take the city immediately and it was then, for the first tim&, that we begah to realize that the war wais a far more serious proposition, as jLhe boys say nowadays, than we had at first imagined.' When days passed and they did nothing of the sort, and the Federal troops began to retrieve their losses, we were indeed happy and thankful. It was this thankfulness over ourjmexpected good fortune and deliverance that has led Washington as anxious as their subordinates to gape at the battle wbich was to settle forever the question of secession, etc. THOUGHT IT A PICNIC.- “When the day came and the boom ing of cannon resounding over the hills told us that the struggle was on in earnest I venture to say you couldn’t have hired a horee __ajnd rig for 810 an hour. I happened tor fie one of the spectators and so I know r whereof ..A. ^tpeakT-l--also obtained a leave of al«ence, or, rather, I took it, inasmnoh as the department In which I was employed was deserted and, joining a friend who had a horse and buggy, we followed the throng out to where the fighting was In progress. On reaching the battlefield we Joined a large crowd of sight-seers posted on a little hillock in the rear of a body of Infantry, which, by the way, had one cannon that was firing, In a sort of desultory way, at the enemy, whose battery was situated on an opposite rise beyond an intervening hollow of, gully. The latter were bombarding the Federal infantry at a pretty lively rate and, as it seemed to me at the time, were using more solid cannon balls than shells. Many of these passed over the infantry, fell and re bounded near the spectators on the hillock In theT^as. Instead of frlgh-. tening any of us, from the very out set we tost all sense of fear. The big, solid cannon balls from^he-Cori- federate battery were not at all ter rifying. They seemed to bowl over to our side like so many base balls and, although moving at a very.rapid rate, they created just tbe opposite impres sion, so much so, to fact, that there was a great deal of useless dodging, which was at times quite amusing. Street a rate were on hand and when ever a cannon ball struck there was a general scramble of small boys, men and women to gain possession of the ball fora souvenir. One rather haugh ty lady, who felt it beneath her digni ty to join In any such competition, purchased a cannon ball from a twelve-year-old youngster for tl. Others did the same. “My companion soon got tired of A Physician Went to AM « Man and Pound His Horn.

Women Fix the Standard. “The morality of the young men of this country is just as high as the young women demand,” said a minister recently In Chicago, and this Is true of every community in the United States. The Greenville Moun taineer says “the young women of any city, town or neighborhood can fix the standard of morality for the young men, and just in proportion to their Indifference and leniency on tbe score of morality will the young men in dulge in questionable practices and Immoral tendencies.

Camp lampblack will Ignite from the sun’s says. The same can be said of cotton waste moist with lard or other animal oft. Lampblack and a little oil or water will under certain conditions Ignite spontaneously. Nitric acid and charcoal create spon taneous combustion. New pHnters’ Ink on paper when in contact with a steam pipe will ignite quickly. Boiled-j'' linseed oil and* turpentine In equal few hours under a mild heat and will create enough heat to ignite neously, says Cassler’s Maga zine. flltumlnous coal should not be stored where it will come in con tact with wood partitions or columns or against warm boiler Settings or steam pipes. This coal should not be very deep if it is to be kept on storage for a long period. If piled in tbe basemement of a building it should be shallow and free from moisture and undef good ventilation. That liable to absorb moisture should be burned first. If on fire a small quantity of water showered on this kind of coal cokes it and retards any great supply of water ^reaching the fire, thus uecessitating the overhauling of the pile. Iron chips, filings or turnings! should not be stored In a shop in wooden boxes. The oily waste which Is notT Infrequently thrown among them adds to the danger .pf fire from this source. The sweepings from the machine shop, if kept on hand, Should never be placed over iron shavings. This mass of disintegrated iron is enough to Incite heat and combustion. Ifbn and steel filings and turnings when mixed with oil will ignite spontaneously after becoming damp. A steam pipe against wood will cause the latter to Ignite spontaneously after being carbonized, particularly if superheated steam enters tbe pipe, thus increasing the temperature. A Month of DisMter.. Charleston has rightly declared war on all vagrants that loaf abquMier streets, and no doubtun&ny of them will float in this direction and it would be well for the authorities to keep a sharp lookout for thenu The Charles ton Poet says the idle, worthless negroes, who have been loitering about the streets of the city day and night, must either go to work or leave the city or they will be arrested and sent to the chain gang. Several days ago The Evening Post published an interview froqx a well known business man, calling attention to the large number of negro idlers ih the city and urged that the police d partment make an active campaign on the vagrant class, and Chief Boyle issued orders to the special squad of police officers to show the idlers no quarter. AH negroes, male and female, who are found hanging about the wfcreefcft-anrLwho have no visible means of support will be arrekted and tried before the recorder on the charge of being vagrants. Upon conviction Recorder Jervey will not deal with them lightly. ‘--4 Chief Boyle said that ular and unlawful manner, and he did it^. He behaved as a representative of the lowest type of political spoilsman. This4s not the worst about Mr. Perry Heath. His tenure of office in the postottlce department was marked by scandalous conduct from beginning to end. More than any other official in Washington he seems to be responsi- tendencv on the Dart of he police p on the enforcement of the vagrant law, for the records in the police court show that negroes and white men are con stantly being tried and convicted on the charge of being vagarants and sent to the public works. Only a few days ago four young white men were convicted under the vagrant act. The crusade against the vagrants will now be actively carried oh with renewed vigor. The campaign Is going to be lively and loafers will be arrested and sent to headquarters.’ A Foolhardy Practice. For some years there has been Th« Fine Bale. - ' The first bale of oottoo of the crop of 1903 arrived at New York Tuesday and was sold at the door of the cotton exchange for 26 1-2 dents a pound. The cotton was raised In Zapata coun ty, Texai, and was bought in Galves ton, Texas, c ces to run hazardous risks in order to win the applause of the populace, and the risks are many and varied.. It ap pears that the spectacle of < a man “loopingthgloop_” on a bicycle Is no longer sufficiently thrilling to suit the crowd, and some new sensation involv ing peril human life is demanded. To supply this deficiency a young man in Indianapolis the other day tried to make the circuit of tfie loop on a pair of roller skates. In order to bring his center of gravity close to tbe point ot contact he had constructed a pair of skates weighing 100 pounds.^ But even with this aid the chances were infinitely against bimT for by placing the greatest weight at the base of the tall column presented by his frame he lessened his opportunity for balancing. So when he was making a trip be lost his poise when at the highest point of tbe loop and fell to the ground, his skull being crushed.-.. He died shortly afterward. There are many varieties of this life risking performance now on view, all of which should be pro- nfranced-fttegal atifl prohibited. They add nothing to tha^ubHc knowledge, and the entertainment they afford Is nerve racking and productive of an abnormal taste of horrors. A Convent Scandal. A telegram from Havana, Cuba, says the town of Matanzas is excited over the apprehension of a Carmelite friar named Arfeto, who wu convict ed of improper conduct with a girl in a church. The friar left town after paying a fine of 8500 In lieu of six months’ imprisonment. In co npll- aooo with petitions received, the pro vincial council have requested the Governor to close tbe Carmelite con vent on account of allegations of other improprieties. The month of June just passed was a month of extraordinary and alarm ing violences, and these violences have not been confined to abnormalities in the record of the weather man. They have been of a more shocking kind than the little Unusual high and tow records of temperature. Honors, which have gone to the very heart of the world, marked June says the New Orleans Times and Democrat. Leafy, quiet June has been bloody, rioting June, and the furies seem to have been unchained all the while. Prob ably April suggested the wake of bloodv things with the Kisheneff horror. Hut, no matter, June has made a record quite bloody enough to to stand alone. It is a singulaf fact that the first day of the month was marked by a fearful catastrophe at Topeka, Kas., when 250 lives were Jpst, 20,000 persons left without homes and property values of anywhere from 85,000,000 to 825,000,000 in amount destroyed. June 2 witnessed the tor- nado In Georgia, and Gainesville sent out a report of 100 lives lost, 200 persons injured and thousands of dol lars’ worth of property destroyed. In the South Carolina storm of June 6, 150 lives were lost, 500 persons left without homes, 4,000" persons left without employment and property alued at 82,000,000 destroyed. The ter, caused by flood, at East St. Lodls began on June 8 and ran through to the 10tb. Taking in the whole area involved it was estimated that 25,000 persons were homelees, a number of lives lost, oyer 83,000,000 worth of property destroyed, stock, houses, land and other properties in jured and destroyed. -The bloody military plot against the king and queen of Servia was executed on the night of June'll. And Oregon some 500 or 600 lives and vast property values were swept away by water In thtf'town of Ileppner. Besides these large events there have been lynchings, burnings, murders, suicides, railroad accidents, bank robberies and a long train of other violent happenings. A Great Contrast. The Fort Mill Times says: “The most unique marriage that has occur red here in years took -place at the Palmetto hotel Thursday morning, the contracting parties being Mr. L. L. Cutting and Miss Mary Ray, of Salis bury,- N. C. The bride is a handsome young women, weighing proliably ITS pounds and could have faced the- tape •near the 6-foot mark, while the groom is aboutV^t 10, and would tip tbe scales at atxtat 75 pounds. A greater contrast cbOid scarcely be imagined.
