The following is the weekly bulloti Issued by the weather bureau in C( lumbia as to the condition of the crop in this State : CoLUMnA, S. C., Aug. 10, 1897. The first of the week was hot an sultry with desiccating winds, but o the 6th there began a decided fall I temperature with generally cloudy an rainy weather for the remainder of th week. The moan temperature for the wool averaged over one degree per da above the usual, the weekly moai having been 81 while the normal to the same period is approximately 79.5 The normal temperature from now of will decrease at the rate of about on degree p- r week for the remainder o the month. The maximum tempera turo for the past week was 100 reporte< from BIaufort on the 0th ; the mini mum was 58 reported from Florence oi the 7th. There were scattered showers on tht 2nd accompanied by high winds an< some hall in the eastern portions, an( ou the 0th a general rain set in whict covered the State from Oconee to the sea, generally light over the woster" counties and heavy over the contra and southeastern counties. This rair washed some lands badly in Barnwell Saluda and Newberry. Nineteen placei reported measurements for the wool of less than an inch, 14 of from I to l inches ; and 17 of over 2 inches, the avorgo of all measurements being 1.5( while the normal for the week is aboul 1.40. The rain of the latter portion of the week was generally needed, and as it was followed by cloudy, cool weather will prove highly bonoficial. The great est amount reportbd was 4.23 at Char loston. There wore several winds notably on the 2nd at Charleston and on the 6th at various points in the northwestern counties, the latter blowing down corn. breaking fruit trees etc. Hail fell on the 6th in Greenville, Saluda and Laurons ; 2nd in Ban burg ; Ist in Newborry (oing but little injury and that conlinod principally to Cotton. Tihe weather during the greater portion of the week was nearly or quito clear aud generally cloudy on the last two days, the average per contage of sushine for the week was about 79, which is considerably above the nor mal. The greater portion of the week was hot and dry, and c rops over the eastern por tions of the State lost condition very fast, but tie general rain of the ith came opportunoly and greatly revived all fni ling vegetation and although the weather became unusually cool, the tenl)eraturc began to rise again before any damuage resulted. Yoing corn hiad begun to fail rapidly but aside from the slight check in its heretofore rapid growth its cond ition was not mtaterially impaired. Some leaves wore stil)u rued and daraged as fodder. l'odder pulling is Iak iug rapid )rogress. Corn is appar ently tilling out quite vell, although there are a nui her of report,s of the Otr"s being smallr than usual. The first, of the week was too hot and dry for cotton which lost.condition, due to excessive shedding of l'-aves, squartes, and in a few instances, of young blls. The plant turned yellow, and a})ppared to bo dying. The greatest, injury occ'rring] in lampton, l)or Iiest.cr, C'olleton, I3.rkely, partions of 11 iamiitis burg, Orangeburir and Sumiter Counties, but, reports of like dotoriora th amie fr'om the eaistrn ptortioni of the St ate generally and frome miany see tionis of the wvestern portion. I l'r'emature opening was also reported ha,t this was largely checked by the t,i moly r'ains and cooler, cloudy weather. Il'iek ing has begun actively in the ox trerme eastern counties, but will not be general over the State for some time to comou. in E.Igelleld county black sp)ots have ap)peared on the boils, having the appearance of rot, and atYecting the tint anid soods. The disease is new to the region, and is as yet not very pre valent. There arc many reports of excessive " weed " without a corresponding pro p)ortion of fruit, while small cottjn is generally heavily fruit.:d. The July crop is fully up to an aver age over a large portion of the State, ar.d in York, Anderson, and portions of otrner we-stern counties raatter than for rnany years.

Ihave a vivid picture in rmy mind of wor'k-pellle hang ing around the p)laces .n?the ir-cn eptloymnt waiting oftten till - nighii.it at the week's end, to recoivo i the 1p0or 1p1 tance of wages they had iJ Larned. T1hei r appear'ancc betokonod tire hunger nd povert,y of their lives, ,and the hopielessness5 of thoe condi L ion. Aind alorng w it,h this was the political subjection they had tto endure, which kept them in a chrornic state of agita tion and uinrest. About that time .tower' looms for weavirg the worsted cloths whichh formed the stale ti-ado of Brad ford. my naieton adbe first introduced. The work-people re garded these as consigning them to hopoless starvation and ruin, and at mob destroyed the machines, as they n believed, in self-defense. The Peter loo riot and massacre in Manchester a occurred about the same time, when the starving people assemblod in pub lie meeting to petition the Government to give them some material and politi a cal reliof,oand wore set upon by sol n diers who rode tham down and sabred them, killing and wounding without L mercy. ReligiOus matters wore In a similar c condition. A State Church dominated y everything; her leading ministers a were lords temporal as well as spiritu r al, and the great bluk of her clergy were imere place holders, whose right to minister was conferred by some 3 political patron, for political or family I reasons, and whoso service was formal and perfunctory, utterly devoid of any I spiritual value or importance. The - parson of the parish was the boon com panion of the squire, and together they managed to keel) the parishioners in due humility, tnd suij ection. In this connection I can claim for my l worthy father an honorable record of which I am more proud than if he had worn a coronet and had bequeathed it to me, as his son and heir. A large I number of people were called dissen ters because they refused to accept the formulas of the State Church and i worshipped God according to their own conscience and separate from the services of the Chur,h hv law estab lished. My father belonged to this number, and had joined a Church of Congrogational or Indepondent order in Bradford. One of the burdon's dissenters had to carry was what was called the church rate, which was Imposed upon the parish loners generally without refer ence to whether they approved or at tended the parish church or not. My father hold a position in the town whlhl gave iim the confidence of his follow townsmen, who had hitherto paid rate and grumbled, but had done nothing to resist it. HI organized an Opposition to it, and brought the question to an issue by the refusal of the parishioners in vestry assembled to consent to the laying of a rate. Un (er a mandam1us from the eclesiastical court the church wardens attempted to lay and collect a rate, which was re sisted, and this led to a long litigation, going from court to court for many years, till at last, it reached the House of Lords, the last appeal in the British l',mplire, where the decision was made that parishioners had the right to re fuse to lay a church rate. This settled the matter and put an end to a gross injustice to the people, forever. This was only one of the unequal burdens which the people of Great Iiritaiii were called to boar at that timtne. Taxation crush(d every let-r est andL conudition of life and con fo:-t. l':ven God's light had to pay its qi". to tihe chancelior of the ex ,r(ltlor. The excess (if windows in a hoise itbove a number barely sullieient for its in hatbitilts to avoid tumbling over each other had to be taxed. ECvLry news paper was required to have a govern uent staup pupon it, and everything in it which at governmnut, ollicial couldl or wanted to find as an advertisement had to contribute to the national funds. These are but speciilens of the way in which tho aristocratic government vulture gnawed the vitals of the peo ple, as at that tim the science of taxa tion was hardly beyond what we as a people in Aimerica are barely as yet escaped from. T'ho imi.,t uel: ad inhIuman, how ever, were what were called the corn laLws. w hieh tax''d t.he f,ee of the peo Iloe, as it was claimed, for the piotoc Lion or tile lir-itish farmer, but really the lleit,ish landlocrde, the aristocracy. One man in Lancanshir-o had taken this to heai-t, and determined to d.evote lia life to a ireformation. This was itichar-d Cobden, a calico p)rinter In Manchester-. John Bright, a young Quaker living at lRockdale, who had just lost his wife and was inconsolable on that account, was appealed to by Mr. Cobden to join him in the work he had taken up. Mr. Cobden plictured to him the misery in which so many were found, coinpareOd with which his own sot-row was liht J r. Bright yielded to the urgency of his ftriend, and the names of Cobden and Blright werte ever. afterwards associated in this groat work. I well remember., as a hoy, being taken by my father, who thus early souyht to interest me in the weifai-e of others, to hear these gcr.tlemen in a Ipublic hail in lI radfot-d, wheo they delivered almost their fiirst public ad dresses on this qu estion. I often had that opportunity aft,erwar-ds in the p)ro gress of the campaign, which went on for years till at last success cirowned the agitationt, and the food of a peopIle was freed from taxation. lIe~sid ing in Manchester for many years, wh ich was the headquarters of the Anti-Cotrn La1w League, I often heard Mr. Briight, who was counted one of the gt-cat or-ators of the nation and a tribune of the peop1)1. Mr. Cob don I heard in ltockdale in his last public speech. lHe had visited the United States-at that time a "terra Sicogn it,a," al most in England-and w her- he had Invested the half million of (doliars his friends had presented to him, in Westetrn railt-oads, which had not, been very prtofitable to him. But this had given himi the opportunity to know this countr-y and people. Tell ing oIf it, hi, isaid: "'If I were a rich tman I wolull found a chair in Oxford University to teach American geogra phly."' Tihis corn-law crusade was like the li"ttin ou (it of water, and the torrent grew in force and Impetus till nearly al the wrongs and brthens of that girat l>copIi have been swept away. Sir Isober-t Poeel, who said he owed his change of mind on this great quetion to the speeches of Mr. Cobden in 'a liament,, left the Trory party and gave tihe 1)0(p1)1 cheap bread. Mr-. Glad stone cleared away the newsp)aper st,amp duty, as well as the tax on plaper, and so gave firee scope for the on lightonmnont of the p0Ole. D)israeli, the shrewd plolitician, turned roundl on the aristocratic party which had put him Into ollice, stole the thutnder- of the Liberals and intr-oducod at measurot of suffrage reform so oxtr-emo that .John Biright, who had b in 'he chainpioni of the movement, plrotested against it as dangerous, as it, would ad mit the '"residum'' or dangerous classes to the franchise. T1hio repeal of the corn laws Irrosistably led to the qluestion of tarirfs and1 the freedom of trade, and brought about a complete revolution In the fiscal p)olicy of Great Britain. The new ctra Introduced by this change in national policy has been un((g Ialledl in the history of any other country. 11cr trade extended and her wealth increased a hundredfold within a fow years, and this p)rosperity has hardly known a chock. And not only as8 to material prosper ity has this r-oign been remarkable, but, peirhap)s miore so In the spread of c(ducation and the facilities made available for the acquisItion of know ledge equally by all claase of the pna. ple. Within my recollection it was nc uncommon thing for not only the lower classes to bo entirely ignorant, but also to find among people living in comparativo comfort, those unable either to road or writo. I remember when Sunday schools were the only chance given for poor people to learn to coad; and more than sixty years ago, when only a boy, I taug t a class in Sunday school their A. B. C. These extraordinary and beneficent changes havo not been made without a st,ruggle, but the real character of the British people has been shown in a most remarkable manner, and the qualities they possess brought out in clear outline. The classes in power really feared the people, and perhaps not without reason. Demos was a use ful animal so long as he was under control, but wore he let loose there was no power to hinder him from be coining master of all. The result of the struggle has made it clear, how ever, that a trusted people is also a conservative people, and, one of the most romarblo facts brought out has boon that instead of the socialism and communism which developed in France under the revolution, the British workman is today the real defender of his sovereign's prerogatives and the strength of her throne. Long live old England, and God save the Queen! TilE FARIIERtS' COLLEGE. The Board of Visitors Cominumend its General Contlition anti Make Sov cral Recomimeondations For Im provemnint. The following report of the condition of Clemson College as investigated by a majority of the board of visitors has been made. Clemson College, S. C., Aug. 4, 1897. To the Honorable Board of Trustees, Clemson College, S. C.: We, the board of visitors appointed by your honorable body, met August 4th, 1897, at Clemson College. Present: W. A. Brown, J. B. Watson and B. F. Miller. We regret that we did not have a full attendance of the board. Those of us who were present, however, made as full and as thorough an investigation of the condition and management of the institution and everything apper taining thereto as limited time and cir cumstances would permit. We would have preferred to have visited the col lego at a time when in full operation, so as to have enabled us to form a more intelligent opinion of the efilcien cy of the work being done in all of the departments. We find all of the build ings in first-class condition and the equipments fully adequate for the pre sent. We find that the grounds and surroundings of the college have been much improved and beautified, and for cleanliness is unsurpassed. Whatever may have been the local cause that produced the lato epidemic of fever, it has disappeared. We commend the authorities in their efforts to discover and remove the cause of the recent sickness among the students and to prevent the recurrence of the samo. And now we congratu late the trustees wnd the friends of the college upon the fact that entiro good health prevails in the college commnun i ty, and no one therefore need hesitate about sending their boys back at the opening of the next session--Septom bor 8th. We visited the farm and find a fine crop growing and, if there is no disas ter, a line yield may be expected from the lowland. We also visited the truck and horticultural farm and found an abundance of vegetables and fruits growing on the same, some of which was the Iiaest that we have over seen. We recommend that all that can be utilized be canned and stored away for the use of the college. Since you have adopted a vacation of two months or more, in summer instead of a winter's vacation, we can see no necessity for the cultivation of so many vegetables and fruits and therefore recommend that a p)art of the farm uow being de voted to the growing of vegetables and fruits be devoted to a nursery and to the raising of all varieties of seeds suit able for.our soil and climate, to be dis tributed to the farmers of the State, in ordecr that our people may be protected from bogus vendors of fruit trees and We suggest to the professer of horti culture the proirly of dividing a por tion of the contents of his conserva tory with the Winthrop Normal and Industrial college. We would empha size the importance and necessity of giving more attention to the experi mental farm, as we do think that this very important department has been neglected. We find that t.he tendency is to cultivate too much land. We would recommend that the intensive rather than the extensive system be adopted, showing how niuch a few acres can be made to produce and not how many can be cultivated. We are pleased with the results of holding farmer's institutes in dilter Teway people eat and drink has per ilus conse -quences. Very few people IIknowv how to treat their / tommacha.

W ~ hen, the appetite fails and the liver becomes sluggish, the whole systenm is dlragged dowvn and deadenmed .by tiniperfect nutrition. T1here Is nmoth ing in the world which restores or ganic tone and vigor so quickly and. scientifically as Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery. It acts directly upon the nutritive organ i".ti; it gives the stomnach power to extract a high percentage of nourishiment fronm the food, anud enables the liver to filter all bill ouls poisonis out of the circulation; it puts the red, vitalizing life-giving elemnents into the blood, and builds up solid flesh, mus cular force andl healthy nerve-power. In all debilitated conditions and wasting diseases it is vastly superior to malt extracts or aniy muere telnuporary stituulants. It gives permanent strength. It Is better than nau scous emnulsions, because it is agreeable to thme weakest stomachs. Whieiiever constipation is one of the comtplicating causes of dlisease, the most p,erfect reimiedy Is Dr. Pierce's P'leasant Pellets, which are always effective, yet ab. tohutely mild anid harmless.

The attendance upon these institute and the results have been highly sat iefactory. We would further recom mend that at. least one institute, o two weeks during the summer vaca tion, be held at the college and thal suitable arrangements be made t< board those attending said institutei at actual cost and that the lowest ratesi of transportation be secured. We woulc further recommend that the origina: idea in the establishment of Clemsoi college be not lost sight of, to wit that the agricultural, mechanical anc Industrial features be at all times kepi prominent. We find that the colleg is well stored with a herd of fine cattl< which supplies an abundance of gooi milk and butter for the use of the same and a sufficient number of hogs to con sume all the refuse and waste from the college and also to supply the stu dents with all the bacon and lard n& cessary. The dairy is well kept. We find about 1,200 pounds of fine butteg stored away for future use and a daily increase of about 27 pounds. We are gratified to know that the enrollment of students for the past year has beer 440, that being a considerable increase over last year. We would recommend that not more than two boys be allowed to occupy one room in the dormitory, and further that the board make pro vision for the election of a chaplain for the institution, to conduct the opening and closing exercises in the chapel and to superintend the Sunday schools, prayer meetings and the Y. M. C. as sociation and to visit and care for the sick. We would respectfully call the attention of the board of trustees tc the demand, on the part of our people, for the utmost economy in the manage. mont of the affairs of all the h!gher institutions of learning in the State, We acknowledge the courtesies ex tended to us by President Craighead and other olicers of the college, and commend the board of trustees for the zeal and vigilance that they have always manifested for the best inter eats of the Institution, and we expresE the hope that the college may continue to grow in usefulness and efficiency under your management.
