There were local heavy rains in other parts of the State and an average precipitation of 2 OO^n- ehes. These heavy rains caused floods that destroyed crops on bot tom lands, washed and gullied uplands and destroyed terraces. The rainfall was comparatively light In Williams burg, Horry and Georgetown counties where it proved beneficial. The ground was generally too wet for cul tivation during the last two weeks, and fields are becoming very grassy This condition is general, and in places threatens the cotton crop Bottom land crops along the principal water courses if the western counties were practically all destroyed, the j oats totally, while corn can be re planted. The condition of cotton has im proved, with better stands and color general over the western counties, where some is just coming up. Chopping is not finished. The cool weather checked growtn, which has been slow, and the plants are smaller than usual to the season. Squares have been noted in only a few locali- j ties. Lice infest fields in the central , counties The crop is everywhere in urgent need of cultivation and warmer I weather, to save it from weeds and to ; promote growth. Sea-islund cotton is healthy, but unusually small. Corn that was not destr oyed by the floods, improved in stand and color, and may be said to be doing well. the mill stood before the flood.

A little trick of the President’s during his “swing around the circle” was to give to the Associated Press representative accompanying him type-written copies of his address to be delivered at any given point, to be sent out broadcast over the country as the speech he dehvered there. Thai, speech, as sent out, wa?, care fully bui ; t and edied.

That paper sent a ster.ogra- , pher to hear Mr Roosevelt and took his speech down verbatim, and it dif fered materially from the type written copy sent to that office early in the evening. He said many things of a radical nature, and they were things be would not want, the busicess inter ests of the country to get hold of, for fear that there would not be the same unanimity m endorsing him for nomination as there seems to hav*- been lately.

It may be heresy, hut I would like to suggest to the Equity iSocitUy that there is another and easier end a more certain way for the farmers to accom plish the result aimed at, and it docs not involve the risk and almost certain failure of attempting to imitate the manufacturing trusts.

Farmers in Cherokee are generally planting peas on their wheat and oat land. In some instances they are planting quickly maturing varieties of corn and peas on portions of it.

The farmers can do no such thing, lhe manu facturers have thus forced up tne prices that the farmer must pay for manufactured goods an average of about 40 p«r cent, since the Dingley tariff bill became a law. The prices of many articles, such as ha b wire, wire nails, tin plate* window gias-i, etc., have been forced up 100, 200 or 300 per cent, in our markets though sold at very low prices to foreigners.

The farmers are the backbone of protection in this country, although, as a leading re publican—the late Ben Butterworth— said in 1890: “The manufacturers and the trusts get the protection and the proflts of the tariff; the farmer gets the busks and the humbug.” How much longer will the farmer con tinue to buy republican gold bricks?

A circuit judge rarely condescends to compliment county officials, but iu this respect the compliment was well deserved, as the repc rt submitted had been prepared in an unusually attractive manner and bore evidence of a painstaking care that only a careful and thoughtful official would bestow. In this connection it might not be amiss to state that the officers of Cherokee have been the recipients of a number of compliments by the judges. It was Judge Watts who in open court complimented Sheriff Thomas, saying he was the best sher’ff in the State. Another judge tor occasion to compliment Clerk Court J.
