For the week ending 8 a. in., August 27th, the average State temperature was 85, which is 2 lower than for the previous week, but the departure from the normal was fully as great. The week'. maximum was 106, and mini mum was 07 degrees. Scattered showers, some heavy but most of them moderate or light, oc curred over the entire State in places. The area that received sufficient rain fall is small, but over by far the greater portion of the State the drought con tinues with increased severity. Dam aging hail fell in Dorchester, Edge field, Newberry, Pickenis and Sumter counties. High winds accompanied the thunderstorms at many points. There was no general improvement in crops ; on the contrary, the reports indicate further deterioration, except over limited areas where the rains were heavy, and at such points the damage w-is checked. The corn crop) is very poor, and late corn is ruined. Many stalks have no ears, and the blades, tassels aind silk of such that began to ear early this month are dried up. Early fodder was saved in good condition, but late fod der amounts to little. Cotton continues to shed both leaves and bolls, and to open prematurely. It is making no growth, nor is it fruit ing. Where the showers were followed by bright sunshine, cotton was scalded. Picking is general, but is retarded by the hot weather. Sea island cotton is suffering severely from drought, pre mature opening, and blight. Cow peas and sweet potatoes urm proved slightly where the rainfall was h~eavy, but their general condition is less promising. Pastures and gardens are parched. Itiver rice alone is doing well, and harvest is under way in the southerly sections. Upland rice is almost a failure. In places stock water is scarce and cattle are sutiering. ["or age crops of all kinds are poor. It is generally too dry to sow turnips. FOR YoU tment and a speedy cure write . Newton Hathaway whose a is a sufficient guarantee of. ilts.

The following character sketch of the '3 moat powerful female despot in the b world's history will be found inter- E esting: hav " There haebeen empressne regent ' before in China, but no precedents e avail for comparison with this master ful Manchu, Tsze Hsi An, the most re markablo woman sovereign and the o most unbridled female despot the world I has known. She rose from the harem's r ranks, uneducated, ignorant of public t affairs, but by sheer ability, by her c own wits, will and shrewdness she at- D tained the supreme power. Hers is the greatest of personal triumphs, her B strength of mind and force of oharac- f' ter and dominant personality having a won every step ; centuries of precedent b and all the shackles of Oriental eti- 0 quette overborne by her masterful a atrategy and remorseless will. Her C enemies have fallen away, sickened and died and scattered as chaff; no one C has opposed her will and survived ; no V plot or intrigue has availed against her, t no conspirator has found her unarmed fi or off her.guard, and hers has boon a charmed, relentless terrible life. nI " The few who have looked upon the b countenance of the dowager describe '7 her as a tall, erect, fine looking woman, 1l of distinguished and imperious bearing, t with p renounced Tartar features, the t' eye of an eagle, and the voice of deter- " mined authority and absolute command. C She has, of course, the natural unde- t formed feet of Tartar women, and is c credited with great activity, a fond- a 'noe for archery and for riding and b .walking, with a pasision for games of t chance and theatrical representa- t 'tions."

Hoyt, the prohibitio 3andidate for governor, has been hi Jhe city for a day or so and befori caving for his home in Greenville yes orday he was asked if he had anything o say for publication in view of thi econd race for governor. le madq his statement in reply: " Yes, I desire to express my cordia bnd hearty appreciation of the flatter ng support received in the first pri nary, which has met my expectationi o far as my own vote is concerned nd is fully as large a percentage at ould have been reasonably counte( Lpon. The odds against me in the ampaign were difficult to overcome ,nd the onset made in the last few reeks was almost unprecedented it he primaries of this State, for no aton ras left unturned that would operate o my disadvantage. I was compelled D meet the onslaughts of the othei andidates for governor, and in addi ion to parry the thrusts of Senator 'illman. The outcome of the concen rated attack upon my position in the ontest may be left to conjecture but is assuredly gratifying that so large proportion of my fellow-citizens ol heir own free will and accord cael heir ballots and threw the weight ol heir influence against political boss )m in South Carolina. It ought to be roll understood that my election stande Dr thorough independence of action in he executive office, without the dicta Ion and manipulation of any man, and rithout the controlling bias of factional nterests. "The time has come for the asser [on of manhood and of personal choice a the selection of a chief magistrate, nd while my vote largely represente positive conviction as to the manage. ient of the liquor question in South arolina, the prohibition Democrate re also in sympathy with that senti ient which resenta the domination of olitical leaders who would suppress in ividuality and mako the bulk of the oters subservient to the will of a few ien. Only in certain localities in this tate can machine politics prevail nd we have a striking Instance now [tat extrems-i can be made to meet, 'he dispensary law has been fought 'ith rancor and persistence in the city f Charleston until quite recently. Sc mg as there was any real attempt at ae enforcement of the law, the op osition in Charleston was positive nd undeniable, backed by the power f the political machine which held way for so many years. Governor Mc weeney's administration has changed his aspect of affairs, not as a measure f " peace and unity," but as a realiza lon that both elements can find more ztisfaction in pursuing a different line f policy. The blind tigers are practi ally unmolested, while the dispen iries flourish from the unceasing pa lonage of the tigers. The increased Dnsumption of liquor thus sold by the ispensaries enhance the revenue ol le city and county, which receive 9( er cent. of the dispensary profits. In 3turn for this happy state of affair6 iore than 70 per cent. of Charleston's ote has gone to Governor McSweeney, ho is the beneficiary in this instance nd will remain in political favor so ng as he creates no disturbance of ie present situation. "South Carolina furnishes the hu tiliating spectacle of a chief magis rate receiving political Support by eason of the non-enforcement of one f its most Important laws. His conni ance at open and general violation o: his law has been constantly rebukec n the hustings by Messrs. Gary anm ~atterson, and he has been challengeL ime and again during the campaigi o issue instruction to the constable D make raids upon the places where lquor is openly and lilegally sold, au lorizing them to seize fixtures an< onflscate supplies, Governor'- Mc neeney's response has been to reac istructions issued to constables ir une, 1899, which instructions hav< een notoriously disregarded, and t< take the plea that constables mnusl irnish bonds in seizing fixtures, rhich he seemed to regard as a hard bip. The State has reached a low ebt rhen its ollicials cannot be provided ith the necessary backing to carry utt a very ordinary provision of the iw. It is a pitiable confession on the art of the governor, but not more ac ban his frequent admissions in the ampaign that the dispensary law can ot be enforced in Charleston, while a almost the same breath he has as arted that the law was bettor en rced under his administration thai t any time it has been on the statute ooks. The people can take theb hoice of these declarations while they re considering the election returns in harleston. " A great deal has been said in the ampaign abour, the support which ould be given to me by the liquor in irest, and the public will recall a unous declaration at IBennettsville nat 'the preachers and the whiskey men wore in an unholy alliance, led y Colonel Hoyt.' What are the faotsi 'he dispensaries constitute the chicl quor interest in South Carolina, and neir su pport certainly did not come 3 me. No one can produce a dispen. nr or a dispensary constable who voted r worked for me. The whiskey dis illce in the mountain counties were ertainly against me, and it is freely serted that their liquor was used ii ehalf of Governor McSweeney. The lind tigers in Columbia and Charles en are said to have been unanimout en the governor, and so far as I knoy ot a man who is dealing in liquor ither legally or otherwise, cast hit allot in my favor. What became o he ' unholy alliance ?' The fusion o iquor interests has been obvious ti buy man who has watched the progres if events, and the 'round-up' of Sona or Tillman has been so far satisfac ,cry to the contracting parties, what svor may be the floal verdict upon thi aew alignment. " In an address just issoed the gos wnnoe has much to say about the bus: ne8s features of his administration. All of us are quite familiar with this claim on his part, but it does not seem i to dawn upon him that other men have business qualifications as well as him self, and his appeal for support on this ground Is hardly applicable just now. "The era of good feeling in the State is not attributable to the present ad ministration. It was begun some years ago, and in a large measure the peo pie were acquiescing in the submerg ing of factional differences, but the re cent campaign has witnessed adroit and frequent allusions to the past, which were intended to revive con tentions and bickering@ so as to divide the forces into hostile camps. Gover nor McSweeney has been the legatee of such work, whether or not he ap proves of it and no doubt he will on joy the results of such appeals to fac tional spirit in the second primary, if they can be made effective.' a MESSAGE FitOM THE PEOPLI. Henry W. Grady Once Acted the Part of Cromwell and Dissolved the Geor gia Legislature. Detroit Free Press. One of the most dramatic scenes ever witnessed in Georgia was the one which immediately followed the an nouncement of Grover Cleveland's elec tion as president in the fall of 1884 when Henry W. Grady, overcome by the enthusiasm of the moment, entered the hall of the House of Representa tives and adjourned the Legislature of Georgia for the purpose of celebrating the event. Those who have kept apace with po litical developments in recent years will remember that the result of the election of 1884 was kept in suspense for several daya on account of the uncertainty of the vote in New York. So close, indeed, was the contest in New York that an official count was no necessary in order to determine in what column the vote of the State should be put and pending the announcement of the official count the country was on tip-too with excitement, as the returns from the rest of the States were all in ( and the result of the election depended upon New York's vote. In the South especially the excite mont wvas Inteneo. Everywhere through out Dixie the conviction existed that oleveland had been elected and noth ing was needed to call forth the pent up enthusiasm of the Democratic mass es but the announcement of the oflicial e count in New York. Finally when the good news came that New York's vote I was safely Democratic, the long sup- c pressed glee o1 the jubilant members I of the triumphant party asserted itself I in such riotous demonstrations of en thusiasm as this country has never witnessed before nor ines. Atlanta H was the storm-center of the celebra- q tion. Other cities received the an- t nouncement with more or less quietude I of demeanor, but Atlanta simply went wild with excitement. As editor of The Constitution, Mr. Grady was the t first man in Atlanta to receive the 1 tidings of the result in New Yot k, and no sooner had he read the telegram conveying the intelligence of the vic tory than ho immediately began to ( spread the alarm. He brought out t The Constitution's cannon and set it to - work discharging volley after volley of 4 thunderous proclamations. Next he : called up Chief Joyner, of the fire de- . partment, and caused the fire bells to be rung with a furious clamor; and the noise of the fire bells soon started the steam whistles on numberless locomo tives and stationary engines. Going out on the street, ivir. Grady found no difficulty in rallying about him some- t thing over two hundred men, and marching at the head of the column and bearing in his hands the Stars and Stripes, he started at once in the direc tion of the State capitol, where the Georgia Legislature was in session. On reaching the door of the House of Represenatives he swept past the ser geant-at-arms, who for propriety sake made some slight show of restraining him, and stationing himself in the~ center of the main aisle leading up to tespeaker's desk he exclaimed: "h Mr. Speaker, a message from the American people I" Speaker Pro Tem. Lucius M. Lamar, one of the most rigid parliamentarians, but also one of the most enthusiastic Democrats, was in the chair at the time. He realized at once what the invasion meant and losing sight of his official obligation in his excess of Do mocratic joy, he replied : " Let the message be received." Thereupon Mr. Grady marched bold ly up to the speaker's desk and, taking the gavel from the hands of the aston ished presiding officer, rapped sternly for silance in the hall. When order was partially restored he said : " In the name ol Grover Cleveland, president-elect, of the United States, I declare this body adjourned.'' This announcement was the signal for such an outburst of enthusiasm as had never before shaken the walls of! the State capitol. In the wild delirium of the moment members leaped on the top of their seats and threw their hats in the air, sending after them exultant shouts of joy. Legislative formalities were com plot ely forgotten and the day's session ended amid clamorous confusion. Georgia had witnessed many scenes of enthusiasm, but none to compare with the one enacted on this eventful occasion. Until then Oliver Cromwell enjoyed the distinction of being the only u ncrowned individual who had ever arbitrarily undertaken to inter fore with the machinery of legislation, but at last his solitude of three centur ies was broken to admit Henry W. Grady into his austree companionship. L. L.

The Friends of col. Hoyt Have Kstab- r, limhed Headquarters in CoInvmbia and will Make a Vigorous Cam paign. CoLUMnA, August 31.-Col. Hoyt's friends have already begun an active and vigilant campaign for the second af primary and seem perfectly confident ' af landing their man. Headquarters n have been opened in Columbia with "n Mr. C. C. Featherstone in charge and to the principal work will be done at this W place. Mr. Feathorstone was in the co city today and gave the following in- TI terview to the press. When asked l1( about the result of the election he dr laid : le0 "Col. Hoyt has gotten a fow more a" votes In the first primary than I expect- to Bd him to get. When In Charleston the latter part of July I predicted to the In News and Courier man that he would tr got 30,000. When the entire vote Is in 391 It will be soon that my prediction has wi been more than verified. re "To have gotten such a vote with w( ouch odds against him is a groat vic- In tory for Col.

Hoyt's chances to wi win In the second primary ?" "1 am satistled that his chances are Cl good. Gov. McSweeney's lead of a few Ov thousand votes amounts to little. Nine gr times out of ten the man behind wins fo in the second heat. Take for example "li my race with Gov. Ellerbo two years of ago. He lead me by 13,000 votos and d yet in the second election he only boat m, me by about 4,000. And if my friends w had realized my strength I woul.1 have C1 beaten him badly. of "If Col.

McSweeney by them : viz.: that On he Governor was not enforcing the "l lisponsary law. th "It will be remombnred that Gary ml md Patterson, both of whom are men ful >f unquestioned ability, courage and onesty, both charged upon the stump co hat the Governor's enforcement of va he dispensary law was a fraud and a ini iumbug. ori " Senator Tillman made almost the an ame charges. ge "Now, there Is no doubt of the fact cal hat a great many men who favor the 8P lispensary believed those charges and va hought the present onforcement of cal he law could be improved on.

A large proportion of the men tit vho voted for Gary and Patterson soi amo from their raoks. Now, that soi heir candidates are out of the race, Y< or whom are they going to vote ? CO [hey cannot consistently vote for Gov. de dcBweenoy, and in my judgment, wl hey will vote for Col. Hoyt. And on ,hey will do so for the reason that they wl inow that he will enforce the law ti .Igidly and make it as near prohibi ion as it can be made. of "But in addition to this, a part el< if the Gary and Patterson vote cami pr 'rom their personal friends, net be- in lause t-hey believed in the dispensary sli aw, but because they recognized the C] 2onosty and ability of Gary and Pat- Lih ~erson. Mr. Gary has been in the Gon- wi 3ral Assembly for 10 or 12 years and ta for a part of that time presided over CF the House with conspicuous fairness ao and ability. He comes from a large is and influential family. [lie brothers, g< who are upon the bench, are men of st ability and infliuence and there Is not s( a particle of doubt but that a part of ti his vote was a piurely personal one. ti "And the same can be said of Mr. am Patterson whose ability and good public of record cannot be questioned. A part at f this vote I know will go to Col, [loyt and I believe that by far the edi froator part of it will do so. th "And then we must take into coneld- no wration the fact that there is a good, th argo vote which did not come out iast Bri ['ueday because it was uncertain as to ho rhat chance Col. Hoyt stood. And lot ,bere are at least 1,000 voters who id< vere out of the State-in the moan- ari ains and elsewbere. But nearly all Cl if these votes will come out in the ari econd primary. ed "A systematic and organized effort mi 1i11 now be made by Col.

Mc~weeney re- oci 3eived it. The talk about Hoyt's getting lor the whiskey vote is nonsense.1 His vote wc 3amo from prohibitionists--fromn dia. sic pensaryltes who want a betteor enforce ment of the law and from othbers who know his record in war and in peace, and who recognize his ability and pu rity of character. t "I want my friends in the State to hr know that the fight is not lost by a b great deal and that by a strong p~ulln Imnd a pull all together we can win. va ''We have fought upon priunciple and for the right and have nothing to re tract.

(Prof. John Fryer, in Ainslee's.) "When China was opened In 1842, ter the first war with Great Britain, 0,000 converts were already enrolled the church, and eighty foreign Issionaries were found ministering the scattered flocke. Since then the )man Catholics have more than re vered their lost ground in China. koir converts are upwards of a mil n in China proper. Imposing cathe als, church edifices, schools, col ,es, orphanages, foundling hospitals d other buildings testify everywhere their activity and prosperity. "The Greek Church began its labors Pekin in the year 1685, when a saty made with itussia allowed the ablishment of a church and college th an archimandrito in charge. In -ont yours this church has boon irking with some earnestness both China and Japan. In the latter untry it has mude more converts an either Catholics or Protestants ve mado. In proportion as Rtussian o tiuenco increases in Pekin it is ox. etod that the Greek Church influence 11 expand among the Chinese. " 1t will be noticed that all those tristian missionary labors, extending or ton or more centuries, were, to a cater or loss degree, a preparation t r the work of our Protestant mis marios. Yet thir comumelncomnt the task of spreading ovangelistic I lctrines nearly ninety years ago was ucn beset with difliculties, some of Llch were the results of the Rtoman btholic mismanagement. The lives I ltobort Morrison and other pioneors the Protestant faith are well known. is worthy of note that Morrison was fused a pasage to China in the 10ast dia Company's vessels, and had, erefore, first to make a voyage to sw York. Thence he sailed to Ch ina an American ship. He was nine mths in reaching Macao, and there is masionary-this first Anglo-Saxon esionary-began his highly success lifowork. 'What has boon subsequently ac nplishod is told in the reports of the rious missionary societies now work r in China. Tho work is well ,anized and the country divided up ong the various boards. The E0van lists the 1iducationist and the Medi missionary each finds his suitable lore of labor in ministerin to tle rious needs of the people with whom :b comes in contact. Thus each do rament of the work is now receiving full share of attention.
