A quitegeneral rain began dulril the evening of the 5th and cont.inued. at places until the evening of tihe titl. The greatest rainfall for the week was measured at Cheraw and Cles terfield with 2.12 inches at each ph1ce, but a number of widely separated place. reported measurements of one inch or more. In general the rain fall wa heaviest in the western and northern portions of the State. although I,( place but that received some rain. Te average of -0 correspondents whc reported rainfall for the week, is 0.R inch, and the State normual for the saie period is approximately 1.0c inch. There was solewltt tmore than an average of sunshine. and more along the coast than in the interior.

The condition of cotton has greatly improved within the las.t two weeks, and is particularly line in thej western portions of the State where stands are reported "as line as ever seen."
