Keport of Condition of Different Crops
Throughout the State.
Columbia, S. C., July 14.—The
week ending 8 a. m., Monday,
July 13th, had a mean temperature
of 80 degrees, which is practically
normal. The heat was not excessive
at any time, nor was there a wide
daily range between the day and the
night temperatures. These condi
tions were favorable on crops, but
there was a deficiency in sunshine
over the eastern and central parts
that was harmful to a slight extent.
Locally, there was|exce8sive precip
itation in Edgefield, Marion, Marl
boro and Saluda counties, and almost
daily excessive rains from the Savan
nah valley, in Barnwell and Hampton,
nor:bward to southern Clarendon and
Williamsburg counties, and in wes
tern Sumter. In this part of the
State the rainfall amounted to from
3 to over 6 inches. This area includes
the region of heaviest rainfall during
June, when it amounted to from 10
to 18 inches. The rains in other parts
were beneficial, and some places in
the northern parts are in need of more
rain. The week’s average for the
State was 2.09 inches.
Tho week’s weather was favorable
for crop growth and development,
with the above exception, and for
furmwork, cultivation having made
considerable progress, especially in
the western counties.
With the exception of a number of
localities that report the contrary,
old corn is a fair crop and is about
laid by in clean condition. Much
corn was destroyed on low lands
where the rains were excessive.
Young corn has a good color and
looks promising.
There was a general improvement
in cotton, though some sections failed
to share in it, but reports from most
sections indicate that, the plants are
making rapid growth, too rapid for
proper fruitage in the Pee Dee coun
ties, though they are still small and
late in blooming. Blooms are more
common than last week. Lice remain
on very young cotton in spits, but
they no longer threaten injury. In
the western counties most fields are
clean, but grassy fields is tbe pre
vailing condition in the eastern ones.
Cotton is poorest, and yellow, on
sandy lands, but most of it has a
healthy color, especially sea island
cotton.
Tobacco curing continues, and the
crop as a whole has improved. Melon
shipments are not heavy, as the crop
is light as yet. Planting fall truck
crops is underway. Minor crops con
tinue to thrive. Peaches still rotting.
Other fruits fairly plentiful. Pas
tures are excellent. Farm laborers
are scarce in many parts of the
State.

HICKORY HAPPENINGS.
Etta Jane, July 18 —We are pained
to learn through today’s Ledger of the
death of our dear young friend, Louis
N. Gaffney, which took place last
Wednesday morning.
About five years ago we formed his
acquaintance and have found him one
of the brightest boys in Cherokee
county with whom we have any ac
quaintance. There is no doubt in our
mind but'that the taking off of this
young man has deprived Cherokee
county of one of its most useful citi
zens. Our heart goes out in deepest
sympathy to tbe bereaved family,
trusting that their loss Is his eternal
gain. How true js the saying that
death always chooses a shining mark
But glorious thought it is that:
Though his mortal life is ended.
And fromjlabor he will rest;
Till by angel bands attended,
He awakes among the blest.

Trough, Juiy 13:—Rev. S. T.

sermon yesterday on the subject of
‘‘Observance of Church Discipline.”

that if he heeds the warning of The

the advantage of a change in his style
of penmanship. We trust that he will
take no offence at this remark, but
will remember that some of his corre
spondents have to me ‘‘specks.''
Some writer, giving a report on the
condition of crops, estimates in ad

reaching 60 per cent, or much below
the usual average.” Now we have no
idea, whatever, what the "usual
average” is, but feel fully assured that
even a*, these low figures the yield will
be sufficient to supply the demand,
and leave a surplus that if appro
priated to tbe satisfying of the de
mands of true justice, would be a
greater means of promoting the peace,
welfare and prosperity of our country
than tbe surrender of Gen. Lee.
