WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN- ,

Columbia, S. C., Auk. 15, '99. *
. The week ending Aug. 14, '99, i
gave a continuation of the exces 1
sively hot weather that has pre- ^
vailed almost without cessation '
Bince the opening of the crop *
season. The weekly mean tern- 7
perature was about 5 degrees
above the normal. l
Thunderstorms occurred on the J
5th. luth, ntn, quite generally j;
over the State with, however, t
localities that had no rain or in- (
sufficient amounts, while general
ly there was enough, and in Col ^
leton and Edgefield Counties ex- t
cessive rains occurred. In the
latter county, at Poverty ILill,
nearly 9 inches fell during two
showers, tlooding bottom lands,
1 and damaging crops thereon.
High winds and hail also did some J
damage by blowing down corn,
and beating down other field
crops.
Army worms continue to destroy
young corn and grass, and

than last week, but their number
is apparently decreasing. Horn
worms on tobacco have spread
over three counties and are very
troublesome.
Early cotton is opening over
the entire State, and picking has
begun in localities. There is
somewhat less shedding than last
week, but rust is spreading. The
bottom crop is a heavy one, the
middle crop very poor, having
been shed, while the new growth
is putting on a top crop in places.
As a whole, its present condition
cannot be said to be promising,
nor yet extremely poor, both conditions
prevailing according to
locality. Sea-island cotton shedding
some, stil 1 blighting, is well

There is general improvement <
in corn that has not reached ma- 1
turity, with a few reports of ex- (
ceeding line crops, but the con- 1
trary is the rule. Fodder pul- I
ling is well under way, and being 1
finised in southeastern counties, i
A fair yield ol fodder has been j
saved. 1

been so helpless for five years
that sho could not turn over in
bed alone. After using two bottles
of Electric Hitters, sho is
wonderfully improved and able
to do her own work.'' This supreme
remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleepliness,
melancholy, headache, .
backache, fainting and dizzy

Hon. J. M. Kirk writes from
Moravia, Texas, to the Schulen
burg Sticker under date of April
19th last: uMy farmer friends,
look at every cotton platform as
you pass by and you will see the
present (square) bale standing on
its head with from two to four
great gaping wounds at the mer
cy of those who want to pilfer.
The number of bales in Texas
taken from the original runs up
into the thousands. I remember
during the session of the last Leg
islature. when the bill known as
the Compress Bill was being dis
cussed in the committee room, a
gentleman from Galveston, who
was opposing the measure, in answer
to a question asked by me
(one of the Committee) how
many bales of cotton were made
by the compresses in Galveston
that were taken from the original
bales compressed there. He answered
'About six thousand
bales." And yet there are those
who decry the American (Jotton
Company's Iloundlap bale, from
which there is not one nnnee nl
wasto and which reaches the mill
exactly as it leaves the press.

TILLMAN ON RACE TROUBLE.
Advises the People to Let the
Negroes Severely Alone.
Greenwood, S. C., Aug. 16.?
The whipping of about (25)
twenty-five negroes in this section
during the past few days by
whitecappers has caused considerable
anxiety here on the part
of tne colored people, and a num
ber have moved away. According
to reports, the negroes' who were
wnippeu were an tenants oi land,
and the cause of whipping them
is said to he that they might he
driven away, giving the white
tenants opportunity to rent land
at smaller figures.
In connection with the whitecapping
situation in this county,
Solicitor Sease is in town, and
has wired the attorney general to
come up and investigate the matter.
Senator Tillman is heio to-day.
Alluding to the subject, he said
that he did not censure the people
for the Phoenix riots, but
that this was entirely past. tlI
do not advise you to kill the Tolberts,"
he said; "but if you have
to extirpate anybody, don't pun
ish these poor devils of negroes.
"The time will soon be when
this race question will shake this
country from centre to circum
ference. Anarchy, once begun, is
i like fire in the woods. You are
1 dominant; your own civilization,
your self respect, demands sorne,
thing to put down this trouble.
Keep up this trouble, and you
give powder to your enemies in
1 the north, you injure your country,
and if this trouble continues,
you will drive every laborer you
i have out of this section.
"I beg you, I entreat you, I
plead with you, to rise as one
' man and put a stop to this trouble."
Some ono would say he would
lose votes by it. He didn't care
i if he did. He didn't want the
votes of men who would do such
a thing, and if he didn't speak
, out he would be unworthy to
represent anybody, and the peoi
pie ought to retire him.?Daily
