Shiloh Church was organized Nov.
24th, 1895, with seven members, Rev.
C. F. Felmet preached the sermon
and Rev. W. M. White acted as mod

church was organized, three deacons

until 1900. The church numbered
sixty members when Rev. M. F. Sam

that year. The church has continued
to grow in number until it now has
125 or more members. The members
now have a good house to worship in

add, that not over two-thirds of the

Report of Condition of Different Cropi*
Throughout the State.
Columbia, 8. C., Sept. 29—The
week ending 8 a. m , Monday, Sep
tember 28, had a mean temnerature
of 71 degrees, which is about 2 de
grees below normal. The first part
of the week was unusually cool, the
latter part warmer than usual. Light j
frosts were reported from the upper
parts of Pickens county. The weath
er was too cool for growing crops, but
was excellent for harvesting opera
tion. The winds were generally light
easterly. The saies were clear, but
with some cloudiness in the eastern
counties during the middle of the
week. The strong easterly winds
along the coast caused high tides that
flooded some rice fields.
There was no rain during the week,
and the need of rain is again
urgent for fall truck, turnips, peas,
and for putting the soil in condition
for fall grain seeding. The absence
of rain was favorable for harvesting
operation, especially for haying, for
picking cotton, and for gathering
corn. The late corn crop is very poor
in the western counties.
No improvement in cotton is in
dicated, but rather continued dete
rioration. The prospect for a top
crop is poor. Rust is still prevalent,
and blight on sea-island and on some
upland, but there is less premature
opening, the cool weather having
checked it, and the cool weather also
checked the growth of young bolls.
In places cotton continues to open
rapidly, and picking keeps pace with
the opening generally, but in a few
counties picking made slow progress
owing to u scarcity of pickers. In
some of the eastern counties cotton
is from half to two-thirds gathered,
while in the western counties only a
small portion of the crop is ooened.
Correspondents are unanimous in es
timating the crop to be a short one, or
below an average one.
Rice harvest made favorable pro
gress, although yields are disappoint
ing. Some rice was damaged by salt
water in Colleton county owing to
high tides flooding the fields. Sweet
potatoes are very promising. Some
oats, barley and rye have been sown.
Excellent progress was made in gath
ering hay. Minor crops generally
are good, but pastures and gardens
are poor.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Washington, D. C., Sept. 25:—
Secretary Shaw and other treasury
officials intend to watch closely the
effect of putting into business circles
more than $20,000,000 in cash in re
demption and refunding and the depos-
ning in banks of about $10 000 000 of
government funds. It is stated that
Secretary Shaw has hoped that bis
measures will bring about a blighter
feeling in business circles, and he
feels that there is no reason for the
tendency of some butiness men to re
gard the future as gloomy, and he
thinks that by making money plenti
ful and easy, as will result from his
measures, a change in view must re
sult. There was no stringency in the
money market before his action, but
he lius anticipated anything of that
kird by the present measure of relief.
The commissioner of the general

announcement of the opening of the

that ic is not first class agricultural
lai d, and that in some respects it is
not desirable for all purposes of
agriculture. The Ca)s Lake and
Crookston agents of the land office
will have charge of the opening, and
will be on hand to attend to the filing
of patents, claims, etc. There are at
present a few squatters on the land,
it is stated that these will not be dis
turbed if they desire to remain.
They will, though, be required to take

The farmers, as a whole, we are eor
ry to say, are not a teachable class.
When cotton is on the decline they
rush it into market as fast as they
can get it out and ready, and when
it begins to rise they wait for it to
get still higher before they sell, and
so they often miss it. More than
three-fourths of the cotton, we dare
say, is sold on a declining market.
If all the farmers bad been in posi
tion, or if those who were, had adopt

it some years ago, at Union, when the
Farmers Alliance was putting in some
of its best work, they could have got
around most of their troubles by let
ting their cotton off in a steady
stream upon the market, and there
have prevented such fluctuation in
prices.
