Piokiug haB begun in Toxas but will not bo gonoral for somo timo. Gonoral ruina ovor tho bolt would quickly ohango tho prosont gloomy outlook into a brilHaut prospoot. for a big orop. In North Carolina, in many wostorn and northern oountios, orops in ad o favorablo progrese, but in tho oast and south too muoh rain intcrforod again with farm work, but has started mrar.s to growing rapidly in most all crops. Bottom lands aro in very bad condi tion, and hardly any results aro cxpoot cd from them. Tho weather has boon a littlo oool for ootton, and tho rainy, damp conditions siuoo tho 12th is oausing it to develop too muoh wood. In South Carolina ootton improved with cultivation, and although still vory Email, looks healthy arid h fruit ing hotter than last wook. Moat of tho Holds havo boon oloanod of graBB, and tho plants aro growing slowly. In olaoos ootton aontinunn tn have s ye! ?ow oolor, and thoro aro reports of shodding leaves and Bqmros. Soa island is thriving, but tho plants aro dwarf od, and blight is prosont in Bp its. In Goorgia, exoopfc over limited area?, tho wook passod with littlo or no rainfall, attended by high tomporaturo. While suoh conditions favorod oultiva tion of orops, thoy aro do tri mon tal to corn and. ootton, and tho later orops aro badly in'no?d of moisture. A Hob wind on tho 12th pnrohod' vegetation to a considerable oxtont, anio ovQr' tho greater portion ot tho Stato,, and a g?n?ral Wpiov?mont is noticed in ootton oVor the wostorn dis trict, whoro tho staple has boon woll cultivated and is*now fruiting moro frooly. Thoro is muoh grass to' oon tondwith in nor thorn and oontral eis triots, and whoro somo holds havo boen abandoned. In Alabama practically no rain was roooivod, oxoopt insuffioiont showers in oxtromo eastern and eouthwostorn oountios, and tho drought is boootniug ?orious in its effoots. Cotton is hold ing up fairly woll though it would bo bonofittod by rain;.it is stilly small, but oloan, woll formed and fruiting fairly satisfactorily. In Mississippi tho wook was intonsoly hot with a high por oont. of sunshine. Tho moan tomporaturo ranging from d to 8 dogroos abovo normal and tho maximum r?aohed 100 dogroos or moro in all parts of thc Stato. Exoopt a vory fow light soattorod showors in somo of tho Bouthorn oountios, no rain loll during tho wook. Many oorrospondonts roport no rainfall of any oonscquonoo binoo Juno 6th. Cotton is boing laid by and on bottom lands oontinuos to do woll, whilo on uplands tho growth of tho plant has bcon rotardod by dry woathor and it is blooming to tho top. Gu tho wholo, tho staplois withstand ing tho drought remarkably woll. lu Louisiana, ovor that portion of tho Stato lying south of a lino drawn through Avoyolls, Itapidos and Vornon panshos, rofroshing and bonotioial ohowors woro frequent during tho iir&t days of tho wook:, and lighter, local showers ooourrod at soattorod plaoos north of that tier of rtrishos. Cotton is doing woll whorevor rain has fallon and has atood tho drought woll whorovor grown, but is very small and in many plaoos has Btopp?d grow ing for tho want of moisturo and is fruiting at tho top at a hoight of 12 to 18 inohos, whoro ordinarily at this S3n son of tho yoar its height io two to four foot.

In Texas a markod defioiuoy in rain fall for tho Stuto is again noted. Whilo ?howers, and iu a fow instances heavy rains, ooourrod on tho 10th 11th and 12th over tho nouthwostorn portion aud along tho Gulf coast, thoro woro only a few localities whoro tho droughty con ditions were rolioved.

In somo looalitios it has boon sovon wooka sinoo rain foll, and in a grout many aootiona tho drought baa romainod unbrokou for ovor a month.

Low laud ootton irf doing fairly woll; it is fruiting rapidly, but tho orop nooda rain badly and unless it is roliovcd soon muob loaa than an avorago orop will bo mado.

Sterling Thompson was an old negro mani who hold a leaso upon a farm whioh had boon purohasod by old man Ohohran, tho father of Sholl Ooohran. Tho stnto gnvo.no a motivo for tho o ri mo tho faot that tho Ooohrans wan ted to oooupy tho Thompson farm, and alleged that thoy adoptod murder as tho hoot method of riddidg thomsolvos of him. Hester iostifiud ?hat ?ho Ooohran boys hid atkod him to join in a oon epiraoy to whip cid man Thompson, as tho negro had boon talking against tho whitos. Hooter stated, that ho.

THE HOT WAVE. More Eift&ntrous to Human Lifo Than Any Recent Epidemie.

Tho diroot faalitios havo boen onormoua, but tho soourago oannot bo judgod by thoso alono; tho inoroaso in tho number of doaths from other oauios must nlso bo attributod to tho oxoossivo hoat, fatal in its rosults on a systom .on fooblod by disoaso.

For yoars past, ospcoially slnoo tl o purohaso of tho Philippines wo havo hoard inuoh'"about tho oplondid pros* poota of oxtonding our commeroo in tho Oriont. It is a romarknblo commentary . on tho tho so rosy prodiotions that the statistics for tho ll months whioh ond od with May, 1901, show that tho quartor from whioh rm o h a vast inoroaso of trade was to oomo to us is tho only part of tho world in whioh wo sustained a loes of oommoroo. Whilo wo gained overywhoro olso wo lost hoavily in tho region whioh has boon so volubly proolaimod as tho pr omi nod land of Amorioan oom morotai ontcrpiiso. Our oxports to South Amorioa in oroaBod $6,000,000; to Afrioa $6,000,, 000; to oountrios of North America $10,000,000 and Earopo $100,000,000 ' in ll months. During tho samo period our oxports . to Asia and Oooanioa actually dooroasod $25,000,000. It is olaimod that tho troubles ' in China aooount for this big falling off but that explanation will not do for sovoral rOasom . In tho fir nt placo our toss of oxports to oaatorn oountrios is groator than tho wholo volumo of our oxports to Ohma has over boon in ono year. In tho seoond placo tho ohiof Chino'so ports woro constantly opon during tho timo whon this shrinkage of our ex porta to tho oast ooourrod, and in tho ? - third placo wo lost hoavily in oriont?;! trado outsido of 0?ina whioh could not havo boon affootod by the reboil ion in that country. Daring ll months ondod with May 1900 our oxports to Asia and Oooanioa amountod $101,000,000 and during ' tho ll months ondod May, 31, 1901, thoso exports roaohod a total of only $76,000, 000, It is also olaimod that a large part of our exporta to Hawaii during tho poviod roforrcd to are not inoluuod in tho ligures for/cur 'Pao?fio ,trat$; as Hawaii., ia now considered . a ouBtoms . distrloO Oft the United Staten.

Our polioy of torritorial oxpanaion in tho oast has not so far availod to in oroaao our trado in that quarter, and it nover will if it depends mordy upon establishment of military powor thoro.
