WEATHER AND oROP RECPORT.
Weekly Bulletin of the Weather Bu
reau for South Carolina.
CoLUNHiIA. S. 0., Aug. 28, 19)00.
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.

THE~ EMPRIESS iLEGENT oF CHINA.
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

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

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

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

hoice of these declarations while they
re considering the election returns in

" In an address just issoed the gos

ne8s features of his administration.
All of us are quite familiar with this

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

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

of such work, whether or not he ap
proves of it and no doubt he will on

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.

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 and the cause which CO
he has so ably represented. It ihows th
that the people believe in the right, h
and that they recognize the ablilty and in
purity of Col. Hoyt." PC
" What about 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. Hoyt's friends know his of
itrength and will go to work, he will It

"G;-y and Patterson took away a i
rood iniumy votes from Gov. McSweeney th
)n account of the charges made against Ni
3ov. 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. Most. Pa
if them, too, are men who honestly its
nd sincerely believe that the dispon
ary 1q the best solution of the liquor set
luestion, and who are especially inter- plo
sted in the enforcement of the prohib th4
tive features of the law. lu other no
words, they have a sincore desire to ral
nake the present law better and butter a t
hnd to do what they can to make it slC
cad up to out and out Prohibition. toi
Chat there are thousands of such cO
)eople in the State cannot be doubted, wl
and they have the respect and conil- ini
lence of those who do not agree with lei
,hom. 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. H oylt's f riends ml
'rom this on and there is every reason tri
,o believe that, Col. Hoyt will be our fol
2ext Governor." cri
"What about the whiskey vote in pr
~he 8tate ' Who got it ?" the reporter no
Isked. th
"No man can look at the Charleston Pc
vote and the mountain vote and doubt be
bor an inetant that Gov. 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. We will fight to the last ditoh an
and expect to win.
"We will conduct the work largely t
from Columbia where our friends cant
reach us for the next few days."m

CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA.

(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

etod that the Greek Church influence

" 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
