Ills lotters would then lie properly censored. Some one seems to have dropped :i monkey wrench Into thc wheels of the Yates-llopkins senatorial machine. The republican campaign book does not feature the terrible assault the ad ministration made upon thc beef trust. Mr. Quay ls laid up with a burned foot, but he still has a pair ol' good hands with whioh to shake thc plum tree. Tho Tennessee election returns provo beyond a doubt that thc Tennes see democracy is not in need of reor ganization. Tho lishiest part of that restaurant story is that any trust magnate should sneer at Mr. Knox's attitude towards the trusts. Mr. Hanna's Cleveland street rail way interests seem to bc experienc ing diniculty in keeping their Injunc tions on straight.

The trust arc perfectly willing to let thc republican party do all that is done to curb the power of the trusts. .tJio. trusts know when they are'well off. If thc republicans are determined to prosecute a campaign of allitera tion tiley should not overlook thc pos sibilities of the "Fatfrying, Fol-dc-rol and Fulmination." /Tho president says his tour is to be strictly non-partisan, and all the re publican campaign committees along his route are exerting every effort to make It so. "Mr. Knox is accredited witli a de sire to leave tho cabinet," says an ex change. Thus it appears that even Mr. Knox may harbor a desire enter tained by tho masses. Many a trust magnate has said things "at the other table" that has caused American workmen to quit eating-but Attorney General Knox was not ready to interfere. Tlie only difference between thc Kankakee, 111., insaneaslyum republi can band and other republican bands is that the Kankakee fellows can play band Instruments. . It may bo that thc g. o. p. fat-fryers will chase thc trusts around for cam paign contributions until tlie trusts commit the Harry Tracey finish in sheer desperation. The public may bc able to realize the full meaning of thc horrible an nouncement of an extra session of tlie senate after pondering for a time on tho make-up of the senate. Mr. Morgan is hustling to get his shipping trust all ready to receive the shipping subsidy bounty he expo ts to secure after lie has elected tho proper kind of a congress.

Bauer in his weekly re port says: The temperature was ab normaly high during thc lirst, and de cidedly cool during thc second half of the week ending Monday, August $5, with an average of 78 degrees, a maxi mum of 101 degrees at Anderson on the ?Otb, Blackville and Longshore on thc 21st, and a minimum of oil de grees at Chcraw and Spartanburg on the 18th. Damaging hall occurred In Anderson, Greenville and Newberry nil,? Jes, accompanied by destructive Mgli winds, but thc Injury to crops was con (hied to limited arcas. There was more than a normal amount of sunshine during thc Hist of the week, followed successively hy much cloudi ness and then clear weather. Quite general rains fell on thc 17th, too late to be reported for last week's bulletin, and scattered showers oc curred on thc 20th, 21st, 22d and 2.'ld, the latter nearly general over the geratcr portion of tho State, Some points continue to Stand In hood of rain, but generally the ground has sulllelent moisture for the present need of crops. In places thc rain in terfoiTed with current fa rm work, but on the whole it was bcnellcial to grow ing crops. Late corn continues lo make good progress, and with limited exceptions promises fair yields. Bottom land corn is very line. Cotton failed to share fully In tho general improvement of growing crops due largely to the spread of rust that stopped further growth, and caused shedding and premature opening, al though on clayey soils there is a new growth,that continues to bloom and fruit. Tho outlook for a large top crop ls not promising, except on low spots where there has been plenty of moisture throughout thc season. On sandy uplands tho plants have put on all the fruit they will do, and arc now dying. Cotton is oping rapidly over tho whole State. Some correspondents report nearly half tho bolls opon. Picking is actively under way in all sections, but showers and extreme heat Interferred at times with this work. In places open cotton was damaged by the heavy rains and high winds. The crop ranges from poor to Yory good; and this diversity in condi tion exists In all portions of thc State, and even In the same townships. Thc season as whole ls earlier than the average. Peas, sweet potatoes and corn Im proved. Rice ls ripening and harvest has begun in a small way. A t'lowor ('riiHUdo. Several years ago, says Thc Indian apolis .Journal, a flower-loving citizen of Cleveland, ()., organized a club for tho ornamentation of the homo. Cut of this small beginning has grown tho Cleveland Home Gardening Associa tion, otherwise known as tho Mower crusade. Children aro enlisted In thc movement, which ls under the man agement of tho association. This or ganization distributes seeds among school children, oxamincs the garden exhibits in competition, and distrib utes the prizes, a number of which arc offered. Thc seeds went to 20,000 homes last year. Not only aro homes beau tl Qed by these Mowers, but school yards. Last year tho children planted In all 170,000 packages of seeds. Thc results arc so evident that tho casual obscrvor notes the chango in tho smoky city, and it ls known throughout thc State as tho "city of flowers." St. Louis has now taken thc matter up. A botanical club has pre pared a system of scod distribution in co-operation with ono of tho seed companies. The roward offorcd in this case to tho chlldron who aro most successful ls a diploma signed by the Mayor, indicating that thc holder is worthy of merit for aiding in thc beautifying of St. Louis; Tills sort of enterprise will show results long aftor tho Mowers of any given year havo faded. Thc oxporlencc of the chlldron will not bo forgotten by thom, hut will bo renewed when thoy aro in possession of homes of tholr own. And this form of ornamentation will opon their oyes to the needs ar l pos sibilities in other dlreotlons. ?i I* Will? MtM??*?U>itfTft Piia^mU?^^^^^^^ 'Vi " ?

In fact, the' sevlvi cation of tito Republican parby^h tho south recently has been largely ?hie to Prcstdont Roosovolt, who lia's j paid porsonal attention to that scotloh;, It is now recalled that soinoHlme before tho tragic death of Presjidont McKinley lt had been arranged f^V Mr. Roosevelt tu make a tour through thc south to acquaint himself with Re publlcan conditions there', ito was earnestly advised to make the, lour by Hooker T. Washington, who\ts, an ardent advocate of a completo reor ganization of the Republican p?\:byin tho south. As he slated lu his talk with Chid r man Lyon, of tl io Texas Republish! Stato committee, Presi dent Rowe volt ls destroqs of n?\oid Ing fae1 ional disturbances In, thc ranks nj tho Southern Republicans, but he tn oven move Interested In building up in the south a Uobiibll can party that will command tho re spect of tho business and commercial interests of that section. Ile realizes that for many years tho Republican machine in each Southern stato has been a close corporation, lt has been the aim of the Southern RcnqbUcai.i managers to admit Into, their syndi cate utily enough leaders to fill the federal ollloes in tho state, In ni tiny of tho southern states lt has been tho program of these leaders to discourage, for Inrtance, thc nomi nation ol'any Republican congressman because, in the event of thc election of the candidate, he would control the postotViCC1 and other patronage and put them out of business, lt will be remembered that In thc last session of congress, when a Republican who had made thc light upon his own respon sibility brought his contest Into thc house, Representative Hull read a severe lecture to thc machino of his state and charged that hu had been opposed for purely sellish reasons. Mr. Hull, being vlpo chairman of thc Republican congressional campaign committee, ls well acquainted yvlth conditions in the south, and his re marks were based upon actual know ledge. The president, it is said, ls also dis appointed because tho Virginia Re publicans have failed to make nomina tions in one or two districts in the state. Chairman Agnew of thc Re publican state committee in Virginia, was not In town Wednesday, hut but when he was hero sonic days ago he stated that in tho two districts willoh had been omitted it was utter ly useless for the Republicans to I't tcmpt to contest. I n eight of tlie fi?n districts, however, a Republican can didate will ru h. Of late years there has been an effort en the part of the Virginia Republicans to ctiptliro one or p-jore doubtful districts, and their ej?orts haye not been altogether un successful, jil times past;, however, the conditions which prevail farther south were noticeable in Virginia, and one year (s repa]lcd where thc mana gers absolutely discouraged tho nomi nation o? a Republican state ticket? In order that tiley might retain their position as controllers of the federal patronage, }t is this Condition which the president (leslies to remedy. Ile wanta the Republican party dh the south? oven though lt be in a minority, to bo actuated by unselfish motives ?iud to proceed upon thc same lines as the organization in the north. Tho recent political upheaval in Louisiana, where men like Wlinberly, who lias been the machine leader, was given notice of lils deposition from Office, isa part of thc president's pro gram. Ile believes that in Louisiana, as in other southern states, there has been entirely too much attention given to selecting delegates and ap portioning the olllccs and two little time devoted to furthering the Inter ests of the Republican party. In Ar kansas, Ihcreroro, there is an entirely new era, thc Republican Insurgents, as they arc called, making an olfort to break away from thc men who hayo hitherto had thc reins well in hand. Iii Alabama, also, under thc presi dent's inti nonce, there ls to be this year an effort to make thc Republi cans a factor in thc state. Men of recognized standing and ability aro coming lo the front and displacing the old-lime professional otlico seekers. In North Carolina the Republicans aro aggressive, and will, as Senator Pritchard stated in Tho Post Wednes day, make a campaign with thc pro tective principle of their party tho principal issue of tho campaign. Tho president believes that tho Re publican party in tlie south, a section which is fast developing commercial ly, can ho raised Into a respectability which lt has not hitherto enjoyed. 1 le bas summoned to Oyster Ray during tlie summermany of thc most promin ent Republicans of the south, and has Imparted his views to them with his usual emphasis, The result ls already manifest in tlie ti h usai activity among Republicans in that section of tlie country and in thc propositen to nominate Republican candidates for congress In districts which have hitherto returned Democrats without any opposition. Tino chances for Democratic success in tho coming elections arc good. Whenever tho Republicans contem plate d?fcat, they Invariably attribute lt to possible "apathy." 'rho spielers now aro trying to arouse Interest and thc president of tho United States b118 gone out on an extensive stu ni ping tour lo "arouse Interest" hi tho elec tions of congressmen.

Tho orders wore that thc sho.rehuund car should walt at the siding for tho other. Motorman Yandell failed to obey tho orders and thc crash came 400 yards boyond tho siding. Yandell endeavored to jump but was crushed botweon thc telescop ed cars and died hanging by his right log.

A plea comes to thc women from the Audubon Society of South Carolina to wear no birds on their headgear. That, the plea comos just at this time is signilicant. for the roses that bloom on suth,mor hats, be they blue, black, grcep or purple, arc patheticallyCrushr ?cj and laded; and tho feminine heart ls yearning for tho new fall hats, with their seagulls, egrets, humming birds and Indian parrots. Here thc Audu bon Society sends up a protest. The seagulls, which are now being killed by thousands for use as ornaments, aro the scavengers of ouv hays and har bors. Tho plumes of tho egret aro especially sought after; and as the plumage ?sat its best when nestling, the mother bird is shot whilo rearing ils young and the orphan family is destroyed. At a single sale a few years ago in one ol' thc large cities 110,490 skins of humming birds and 228,281) bundles of Indian parrots were sold for decorative purposes. From fliese facts it would seem that thc mission pf birds is to gratify human vanity. 'Tho Audubon Society tolls us that to uilonco the ' melody of the forest in order to increase tho beauty of a wo man's hat is betraying nature for an insignificant reward; mid to barter thc perennial beauty and grace of birds for a temporal adornment is a poor bar gain. The Audubon Society of South Carolina was organized In Charleston^ January I, moo,'with a membership ol thirty-six,which has grown to over two hundred. Thc object is not merely the suppression of wild birds for orna ment, but the organization of a per manent society for the dilluslon ol' in formation concerning the utility ol' our birds, foi encouraging thc study ol' wild birds, and for aiding the passage and proper enforcement of good game and bird laws. There are no dues, ex penses being defrayed by voluntary contributions. On thc list of olllcers and board ol' directors ?tie names of re presentative men and women from ail parts ol' the State. 'Tho society ls open to all men, women and children who are interested in tho preservation of our birds, and names will be put on tho membership list If sent to Miss Sarah A Smyth, Secretary of South Carolina Audubon Society, Charleston, S. C. An Important Matter. Tho Allport system will bo intro duced in Atlanta's public schools at their approaching fall session, and will enable teachers to determine how far Inability or slowness to take instruc tion may bo due to mental incapacity and how far to defects of sight or beitr ug. The Journal says "lt ls of Im mense Importance to determine this question. Many a child has been con sidered dull or inattentive when, as a matter of fact, he or she was really quite tip to the average Intellectually, or even above lt. The trouble in such cases Is due to Imperfections of thoso senses upon which wc depend so large ly for our impressions, and consequent ly our knowledge, namely, the senses of sight and hearing, livery teacher should bo enabled to ascertain whether tho failure of a pupil toapprehend and understand readily ls due to mental weakness or physical defects, lt will bo readily seen that a mistake on this point may involve great Injustice to children whoso cyosor ears aro not per fect; may cause thc neglect of possible opportunities for their education, or tho wasto of timo on Impractical ef forts at their Instruction. Tho Air port system provides asimplo but of icctivo method of making tho neces sary distinction In eases or thisoharac* tor. Dr.iIIobbs has been urging tho Introduction of this system In the Atlanta public schools for live or six years past.

No rule of conduct ls less diplomatic lu tho young man of business than rudeness, althouh somo beginners seem to deon tho terms "business like" and "ungracious" synonymous; and not a few go out of their way to bo sour, abrupt, point-blank and dis agreeable to all and sundry. Tho theory hold by such mistaken persons appears to be this: That thc man who means to wrest success from lifo must not stop by tho way to wasto time over politeness. Arguing upon tho lines that tho world takes each indlvdual at his own valuation, tho Ignorant nincompoop sots himself upas onewbo has scarcely time to breathe, much less to smllo, so vast aro tho rcspon- I sibllltles that his important position 1 entails. Hub ho is taking absolutely a mistaken line. Ills opposite In mannors tcmpors his luoxperionoo with a softened air ol' dlftldenco, meets I his oontcmporarles with a smllo ot I greet lng instead of with a defiant, scowl, and goes out of his way to bo I thoughtful and courteous. 1 lo knows the value of making friends, and realizes to tho full how bad lt is for a young man's future should he earn a reputation for bumptiousness and bad manners. Tho business king may please himself as to the manner he adopts. To some the reputation of a choler?o disposition is useful, for lt koopa off trill?is. Ile who desires not to be jostled must himself Jostle others. Such ls tho modern shibboleth, taught by the storm and stroos of existence to tim aspirant for wealth and whlo prosperity. Tho old maxim ls more subtle, and therefore, less thorougly comprehended. Yet it Isa straightforward piece of counsel teaching merely tho beauty of each man doing unto others as ho would that men should do unto him. Pre sumably, every person prefers to bo Sb?kon to with gentle courtesy rather than with brutal Insolence, and to do a business not aa if he and his cus tomer wero bitter enemies, but as friend and friend. Despite this, how ovor, there ls more than a tendency to ally the haughtiest air to a capacity for commercial qualities.- New York Commercial. Hurrah Tor the Knvmor! Piping times of pion ty these should be for thc fanners in our great West If the recent government crop roport ls to bo trusted, says tho Spurtanburg Journal. According to thc ligures, we shall have invested, when the Heids ayo all cut and the shocks all gathered in, the greatest crop ever known in the history ol' our agriculture. It will consist, so thc ouicial estimate runs, of a corn crop of 2,'I22,000,0()0 bushels, 034,000,000 bushels of wheat and 800, , 000,000 bushels of oats, an aggregate of ? 3,802,000,000 bushels for tho Miyee grains. The general el?cct of the crop prospects is rellected in. tho way mer chants In all sections save those In Texas, where tho crops were damaged hy tl\o recent droughts, ave In-the markets as freo buyers of goods. Their stocks have boon allowed to run down, and they arc Inlying freely for flic trade and taking a bet ter class of goods than heretofore. The feat ure ol tho trade ls that goods are wanted eavliev than in previous seasons. AH tho fact ovios aro said lo be busy. Hu I hoads are having a larger movement ol' merchandise to the agri cultural sections than last year, and traillo generally is fully as heavy as last year. Money ls plenty and cheap, and the West never had so much prosperi ty Iii sight. So, hurrah foi corn! hurrah for wheat! hurrah for oats! Hurrah for all of us, hut especially hurrah for the farsighted, hard working farmer whp planted t ho crop that has broken tho record! Ju this connection we would ask why should not thc South ern farmer show In this great prosperi ty that has overwhelmed the farmers of the West? There ls but one an swer, and that is that our farmers stick to cotton, while tl\o farmers ol' the West diversify their Clops, 1'UoeU'lotly On tho Southern. Tlio Southern Hallway ls Utting all Its dining cars with electric lights and fans. Some of the cars have already been equipped with tho clcctrloal ap paratus and thc work is hoing pushed as fast as the ca i s can bo sent to the shops, Dining car No. 121, now in service between Greensboro, N. C., and Mont gomery, on thc Washington and South western limited, is equipped with thc fans and lights, and in consequence the patrons of this train always re joice when they learn that this car is on thc run. Tlio electricity is furnished from a dynamo which gets Its power from tho car axles. The lights are a great im provement over tho gas lights gener ally lp use, while the fans not only in crease tho pleasure of travel In hot weather, but enable thc road to keep Its cars In a comfcitable condition during tho winter months, when tho excessive dryness caused by the steam heat often makes the cars feel "study." Assistant General Passenger Agent W. H. Tay loo of the Southern ls very enthusiastic ovor thc Installation of thc electric equipment, as he thinks that lt will bring about a groat in crease tn thc patronage given the dip ing cars.
