Early corn is greatly stunt ed, and unloss there is .plenty of rain vory soon tho crop of corn will be like tho crop of an old gentleman in Abbe ville "it will shoot and miss the mark." Cotton although small is healthy and tho fields are clear of grass. Gardens are about burnt up and tho Blackberry crop is very short . Mr. Wm.

Wo are sorry that we failou to J?,QOt these distinguished gon tlomon, but we wish them every stio coss in thoir campaign for Congress. Wo wish both of them could be elected. Wo think it was Gov. Tillman made tho remark that tho campaign of 1890 "waa a campaign of education" and we think tho present campaign will bo equally as instructive, *if tho great number of candidates, who want to tell tho pcoplo something, is a fair index of what is to bo tho character of the campaign. Tho Prohibitionists went to Columbia and como baoli itomo, "Tho King of Franco marched up the hill and down again." Wo aro glad to see the liberal spirit evinced by tho Stato Executive Com mittee of tho Democratic I 'arty.
