JONAH IN THE STOEM.
THK NECESSITY OF PRAYER
WITH WORK.
Tho Ancient Mariners Relied at First
Upon Their Oarn, Hut In Their Ex
tremity Called on Ood.
Rev. T. De Witt Talraago, D. D..
?a h<> In st.il! absent on his tour around
tho world, has solcctod as the subject
ot a sermon through tho press "The
Oarsmen Defeated," tho text chosen
boiug Jonah i, 18, 14, " Tho men rowod
hard to bring it to the land, but they
could not, wherefore thoy cried unto
the Lord."
Navigation in the Mediterranean sea
always was perilous, especially so in
eaidv times. VossoIb wore propelled
partly by Hail and partly by oar.
When, by reason of groat stress of
weather, it was necessary to roof tho
canvass or haul it in, then tho vessel
was entirely dependent upon tho oars,
sometimes 20 or :50 of them on either
aldo tho vessel. You would not von
turo outside your harbor with suoh a
craft as my text tindd Jonah sailing in,
but he had not much chioco of vessels,
Ho was running away from tho Lord,
and when a man is running away from
tho Lord ho lias to run very fast.
PROM THK PRESENCE OK THK LORD."
God told Jonah to go to Ninovoh to
preach about tho destruction of that
eity, Jonah disoboyod. That always
makes rough wator, whether in the
Mediterranean, or tho Atlantic, or tho
Pacific, or the Caspian soa. It is a
very hard tiling to scare sailors. 1
have Boon them whon tho brow of the
vessel was almost under water, and
they were walking the dock knee deep
In the surf, and tho small boats by tho
sido of the vessel had been erushed as
small as kindling wood, whistling as
though nothing had happened, but the
Bible says that those inariuors of whom
I apeak woro frightened.
That which sailors call " a lumb of u
soa"u?d become a blinding, deafen
ing, swamp'Jug fury. .How mad the
wind can got at the water, and the wa
ter can got at tho wind; y?u do pot
know unless you havo boon o'^JCtators.
1 have In my house a plcco of thd ."all
of a ship no larger than tho palm of
my hand. That plcco of canvas was
all that was left of the largost sail of
tho shin Groeeo that wont into tho
storm 200 miles off Newfoundland. Oh,
what a night that was I I supposo it
was in some such storm as this that
Jonah was caught.
ifcnay that the tompost was on
'"fits account, and ho asked tho sailors to
throw him overboard. Sailors are a
generous hoar tod raco, and they re
solved to make their eseapo if possible
without resorting to such extreme
measures. Tho sails aro of no use, and
so they lay hold on their oars. I sco
tho long bank of shining blades on
either side tho vossol. Oh, how they
did pull, tho bronzed seaiucu, as they
laid back unto tho oars ! But rowing
on tho sea is very difforont from row
ing upon a river, and as the vessel
hoists tho oars skip tho wuvo and miss
tho stroke, and tho tompost laughs to
scorn tho flying paddles. It is of no
use, no use. There comes a wavo that
crushes tho last mast and sweeps the
oarsmen from their places and tum
bles everything in tho confusion of im
pending shipwrecks, 01?, as my text
has it. " Tho mon rowed hard to bring
it to land, but thoy could not, where
fore thoy cried unto tho Lord."
SALVATION FROM THE STORM.
This scene is very suggestive to me,
and I pray God I may havo graeo and
strength onough to represent it intel
ligently to you. Years ago I preached
a sermon on anothor phaso of this very
subject, and I got a loiter from Hous
ton, Tex., tho writor saying that tho
reading of that sermon in London had
led him to God. And I rocoivod an
other lettor from South Australia say
ing that the reading of that sermon in
Australia had brought several souls to
Christ. And then I thought, Why not
take anothor phaso of tho same sub
ject, for perhaps that God who can
raise in power that which is sown in
weakness may new through another
phaso of the same subject bring salva
tion to the people who shall hoar and
who shall road r Mon and women who
know how to pray lay hold of tho Lord
God Almighty and wrestle for tho bles
sing.
Bishop Latimor would stop somo
timos in his sermon in tho midst of his
argument and say, "Now I will toll
- von a fable," and today I would like to
bring tho scouo of the text as an illus
tration of a most important religious
truth. As thoso Mediterranean oars
mon trying to bring Jonah ashore woro
discomfited, I havo to toll you that thoy
woro not tho only men who have
broken down on their paddles and havo
been obliged to call on tho Lord for
holp. I want to say that tho unavail
ing offorts of thoso Mediterranean
oarsmen havo a counterpart in tho of
forts wo aro muking to bring souls to
tho shore of safety and sot thoir feet
on tho rock of ages. You havo a fa
ther or mother or husbund or wife or
child or near frlond who is not a Chris
tian. There havo boon times when
you havo boon in agony about thoir
salvation.
SICKNESS AND SORROW.
A minister of Christ whoso wifo was
dying without any hope in Jesus walk
ed tho floor, wrung his hunds, cried
bitterly and said, " I bolievo I shall go
insano, for I know sho is not prepared
to moot God !" And there may havo
boon days of sickness in. your house
hold whon you feared it would bo a
fatal sickness, and how elosely you ex
amined tho face of tho doctor as ho
came in and scrutinized tho pationt
and folt tho pulse, and you followed
him into tho next room and said,
"Thoro isn't any danger, is thoro, doc
tor ?" And tho hesitation and tho un
certainty of tho reply made two oter
nltios flash boforo your vision. And
thon you went and talkod to tho sick
one about tho great future. Oh, thoro
aro thoso hero who havo tried to bring
thoir frlonds to God. They havo boon
unablo to bring them to tho shoro of
safety. They are no nearer that point
than thoy woro 20 yoars ago. You
think you havo got t horn almost to tho
shoro whon you aro swont back again.
What shall you do? Put down tho
oar? Oh, no! 1 do not adviso that,
but I do adviso that you appeal to that
God to whom tho Moditorranoan oars
men appealed, tho God who could
silonco tho tompost and bring tho ship
in safety to tho port. I toll you, my
frlonds, that thoro has got to boa good
doal of praying boforo our families aro
brought to Christ. Ah ; It is an aw
ful tiling to huvo half a household on
one sido the lino and tho othor part oi
tho household on tho othor sido of tho
lino. Two vessols part on tho ocoan
of oternity, ouo going to tho right and
the other to the loft, farther apart and
farther apart until tho signuls cease to
bo recogn'zod, ?*nd thoro aro only two
specks on tho horizon, and thon thoy
aro lost to sight forover.
1 havo to toll you that tho unuvlling
efforts of those Mediterranean oars
mon hnve a counterpart in tho offorts
some of us aro making to bring our
children to tho shoro ofsafoty. Thoro
never woro so many tomptations for
voting people as there aro now. Tho
lltorary and tho social inlbi ences seem
to be against thoir spiritual intorests.
Christ sooms to lie driven almost en
tirely from tho schon! and the pleasur
able ooncouryo, yet (I'd knows how
anxious wo aro for our children. We
cannot think of going Into heavon
without them. Wo do not want to
leavo this life while thoy aro tossing
en tho wavom of temptation and away
from God. Prom which of thorn could
?vu consont to bo oternally soparatod ?
Would it bo tho son ? Would It be the
daughter? Would it bo tho eldost?
would it bo tho youngest ? Would It
bo the one that Is well and stout or tho
one that is sick ? Ob, I hoar some pur
out saying tonight: ''I have tried
my best to ori ?u" my children to Christ.
I f avo laid hold of the oars until they
bent in my grasp, and f have braced
myself against the ribs of the boat, and
I bavo pulled for their eternal resoue,
but I can't get them to Christ." Thon
I ask you to imitate the men of tho
text and cry mightily unto God. We
want more importunate praying for
children suoh as the father Indulged
in when he had tried to bring his six
sons to Christ, and they had wandered
off into dissipation. Tnen he got down
in his prayers and said, " O God, take
away my life if through that moans
my sons may repent and be brought to
Christ," and the Lord startlingly an
swered the prayer, and in a few weeks
the father was taken away, and
through tho solemnity the six sons
fled unto God. Oh, that father cpuld
afford to die for the eternal welfare of
his children ! Ho rowed hard to bring
them to the land, but could not, and
then he cried unto the Lord,
THK WANDERER'S RETURN.
' There uro parents who aro almost
diucouragod about their ohildren.
Where is your eon to-night? Ho has
wandered off perhaps to the ends of
tho oarth. It seems as if ho cannot
got far enough away from your Chris*
tiau counsel. What does ho caro about
tho furrows that come to your brow ;
about the quick whitening of the hair;
about tho fact that your back begins
to stoop with tho burden ? Why, he
would not caro much If ho hoard you
wore dead. Tho black edgod letter
that brought tho tidings he would put
i;? the samo packago with othor lettors
lolling tho story of his shamo. What
uro you going to do ? Both paddles
brokon at tho middle of tho blade, hop
can you pull him ashore? I throw
you ono oar on whloh I believe you can
bring him into harbor. It is the
glorous promise, "I will bo a God to
theo and to thoy seed after thee." Oh,
broken hearted father and mother,
you havo tried everything else, now
, make an appoal for tho help and
omnipotence of tho convonant kooping
God, and perhaps at your next family
gathoring?perhaps on Thanksgiving
day, perhaps noxt Christmas?tho
prodigal may be homo, and if you
crowd on his plate more luxuries than
on any othor plato at tho table T am
nure tho brothers will not bo Jealous,
but thoy will wake up all tho music in
the house, " because the dead is alive
agaf n- and booauso the lost is founu."
Perhaps your prayers havo boon
answurod already. The vessel may bo
coming homoward, and by tho light
of this night's stars that son may bo
pacing tho dock of tho ship anxious
for the time to come whon he can
throw his arms around your neck and
ask for forgiveness for that ho has
boon wringing your old heart so long.
Glorious reunion that will bo, too sacred
for outsiders to look upon, but I would
just llko to look through tho window
whon you havo all got together again
and are seated at tho banquet.
Though parents may in couvcunnt be
And havo their heaven in view,
Thoy are not happy till they boo
Their children h?ppy too.
Again I remark that tho unavailing
effort of tho Mediterranean oarsmon
has a counterpart in tho effort which
wo aro making to bring this world
back to God, his pardon and safety.
If this world cculd have boon saved by
human effort, it would have been done
long ago. .lohn Howard took hold of
one oar, and Caroy took hold of anothor
oar, and Adoniram Judsou took hold
of anothor oar, and John Knox took
hold of another oar, and thoy all pulled
until thoy foil back dead from ex
haustion. Somo dropped in tho ashes
of martydom, some on tho scalping
knives of savages and somo into tho
plague struok room of the lazaretto,
and still the chains are not brokon,
and still tho despotisms are not demol
ished, and still tho world is u nsavod.
What thon ? Put down tho oars and
make no effort? I do not advise that.
But I want you, Christian brethren,
to understand that tho church, and tho
school. and tho college, and tho mis
sionary society aro only tho instrumen
tal ities, and if this work is over done
at all God must do it, and ho will do it
iu answer to our prayer. "Thoy
rowed hard to bring it to tho land, but
thoy eould not, wherefore thoy cried
unto tho Lord."
IT IS NOT IN HUMAN STRENGTH.
Again tho unavailing elTort of thoso
Mediterranean oarsmon has a counter
part in every man that is trying to
row his own soul Into safoty. When
the eternal spirit Hashes upon us our
condition, wo try to savo oursolvcs.
We say, " Give mo a stout oar for my
right hand, give me a stout oar for my
left hand, and I will pull myself into
safoty." No. A wave of sin oomcs
and dashes you ono way, and a wave
of temptation comes and dashes you in
anothor way, and there aro plenty of
rocks on whieh to founder, but seem
ingly no harbor into whieli to sail. Sin
must bo thrown overboard, or we must
perish. ?
Thoro aro moo who havo tried for
years to bocoino Christians. They
bolicvo all I say in regard to a future
world. Thoy beliovo that roligion is
the first, tho last, tho infinite neces
sity. Thoy do everything but trust in
Christ. Thoy make (51) strokes in a
minute. Thoy bond forward with all
earnestness, and thoy lie back until
the muscles are detendod, and yot thoy
havo not made ono inch in ton years
toward heaven. What is tho reason ?
That is not tho way to go to work.
You might as woll tako a frail skiff,
and put it down at tho foot of Niagara
and thon houd it up toward tho churn
ing thunderbolt of waters and oxpoct
to work your way up through tho
lightning of tho foam into calm Lake
Brie, as for you to try to pull yoursolf
through tho surf of your Min into hopo
and pardon and placidity of the gospol.
You eannot do it in that way. Sin is
a rough soa, and longboat, yawl, pin
nace and gondola go down unless the
Lord deliver, but if you will cry to
Christ and lay hold of divino mercy
you areas safe from eternal condemna
tion as though you had boon 20 yoars
in heaven.
I wish I could put boforo my un
pardoned readers thoir own helpless
ness. No hunmun arm was ovor strong
enough to unlock tho door of heaven.
No foot ovor was mighty enough to
break the shackle of sin. No oarsman
swarthy enough to row himself into
God's harbor. Tho wind is against
you. Tho law is against you. Ten
thousand corrupting influences aro
against you. Holpless and undono.
Not so helpless a sailor on a plank,
mid-Atlantic. Not so holpless a
traveler girded by 20 inilos of prairio
on Uro. Provo It, you say. I will
prove it. John vi, 44 : "No man can
como to mo, excopt tho Father which
hath sent me draw him."
SALVATION IS OF ORACE.
But while I have shown your holp
lessness I want to put by tho sido of
it tho power and tho willingness of
Christ to savo you. I think it was in
1680 a vesHol was bound for Portugal,
but it was driven to pieces on an un
unfriendly coast. Tno captain had
his son with him, and with tho
crow thoy wandered up tho boach
and started on the long journey to And
roliof. After awhile tho son fainted
by reason of hunger and tho length of
the way. The oaptain said to tho
crow. "Carry my boy for mo on your
shoulders." Thoy oarrlod him on, but
the journey was so long that after
awhllotho crow falntod from hunger
and from woariness and could carry
him no longer. Then the father ralliod
his almost wasted energy and took up
bis own boy and put him on his
shoulder and carried him on mile
after milo, mile aftor mile, until, over
come himself by hunger and woariness,
ho. too, falntod by tho way. Tho boy
lay down and died, and the father,
just at tho t ime rescue canto to him, 1
also porished, living only long enough
to toll tho story?sad ?tory indeed I
But glory be to God tint Jesus Chrbjt
1? ablo to take us up out of bur ship
wrecked and dying condition and put
us on the shoulder of hla strength and
by the oimV pot onieof his gospel bear us
on through all the journey of this life
and at last t h rough the opening guten of
heaven, lie is mighty toitave. Though
your sin bo long and black, tho vory mo
ment you bollovo f will proclaim pardon
?quick, full, grand, unconditional, un
compromising, Illimitable, infinite.
Oh, the grace of God! I am over
whelmed when I come to think of it.
Give me a thousand ladders lashed
fast to each other that I may scale the
height. Let the line run out with the
anchor until all tho cablos of the earth
are exhausted that we may touoh the
dopth. Let the arehangol Ay in olroult
of eternal ages In trying to sweep
around this theme. On, tho grace of
God! It Is bo high. It is so broad. It
1b so deep. Glory bo to Ood that where
man's oar gives out God's arm begins !
Why will ye carry yourslnB and your
sorrows any longer when Christ offers
to take thorn V Why will ye wrestle
down your'fears when this moment you
might glvo up and be saved V Do you
not know that everything Is ready V
THE TREASURE RECOVERED,
pionty of room at tho feast. Jesus
has the ring of his love all ready to
put upon your hand, Come now apd
sit down, ye hungry ones, at tho ban
quot. Ye who aro Jn rags of sin, tako
tho robo of Christ. Yo who aro
swamped by tho broakor around you,
cry to Christ to pilot you into smooth,
still waters. On aecount of tho pecu
liar phase of tho Bubjeot, I have drawn
my present illustrations, you see,
ohlofty from the water. I remember
that a vessel went to pieces on the
Bermudas a great many years ago. It
had a vast troasuro on board. But tho
vessel being sunk, no effort was made
to raisp |tr After many years had
passed a company of adventurer* wept
put from England, and after a long
voyago they reached tho place whore
tho vessel was said to havosunk. They
got into a small boat and hoverod ovor
tho place. Then tho divers wont
down, and thoy broke through what
loojosl like a limestone covering, and
the treasures KQllpd out?what was
found afterward to" be, in Amerlpap,
money, worth $1,000,000, and the
fouudation of a groat bmdnoss house.
At that timo tho wholo world rojolcod
over what was called tho luck of thoso
advoutur.ers. .Oh, yo who have boon
rowing toward the shore arjd havo not
been able to reach it, f want to tej.1 you
to-night that your boHt'hovors oVor

God aro at your feet. Treasures that
never fall and crowns that nover grow

them ? Who will dive for tho peavl pf
great price V Who will be prepared
for life, for death, for Judgment, for
the long eternity ? Seo two hands of
blood stretched out toward thy soul,
as Jesus says, "Comounto me, all yo

will give you root."
Hl OTT1 Kit PRICES FOR COTTON.
A Scheme to Enablo Farmers to Hold
Their Crop ForTwolvo Months.
A special meeting of tho oxooutlvo
committee of tho Georgia Agricultural
Society has boon called to assemblo in
Macon on Wednesday, 24th inst.. " to
consldor tho present ruinous price of
cotton and to take soino steps, if pos
sible, to roraody und avert impending
disasters."
The call is issued by Hon. John O.
Waddell, president of tho Stato Agri
cultural Soeioty. Tho meeting will
tako place on tbo second day of tho
Stato Pair, whioh begin* in Macon on
tho 23rd inst.
Prosidont Waddoll, in issuing the
call, says he wishes ''tobe distinctly
understood as opposing tho selling of
cotton to tho injury of creditors, but it
is bolioved that the bost interests of
debtor and creditor will bo subsorvod
if advances can bo mado on cotton, so
as to allow it to bo hold over, thUB
stopping the large dally rocoipts, and
at the same timo giving tho farmers an
opportunity of securing advances on
their cotton by which they can moot
their obligations and at the samo time
hold thoir cotton for bottor prices.
"A briof suggestion as to tho plans
indicated?money is plontiful and at a
low interest rate in tho banks. Tho
banks and commission merchants, who
are our friends, can bo induced to ad
vance a reasonable amount On cotton,
and thus allow tho farmer to hold his
cotton another yoar, and at the samo
time onablo him to pay his obligations
to nearly tho full amount of his cotton.
At present prices, it is impossblo to
more than pay tho cost of cultivation,
picking, ginning and guano bills, leav
ing tho farmer nothing with whioh to
meet othor just obligations. If tho
plans and suggestions which you may
promulgato bo adopted by tho othor
cotton States, wo beliovogood results
will follow.
"Thoro can bo no doubt that tho
cotton acroago will of necessity bo
greatly reduced next year, the crop
reduced inconsequence and tho cotton
carried ovor must command better
prices."
?" Ono timo, on a canvass in my dis
trict," remarked a woll-known moui
bor of Congross, "I stopped with a
man who had been a lawyer and a man
of considerable inlluonco, but ho had
foolishly thrown away his chances for
success by taking to liquor and bad
company. Ho knew that ho was to
blame more than anyone olso, and
aftor I left him to go to bed I over
heard him talking to his wifo, who,
woman like, still had confidence in
him*
" 'Mary,' ho said, ' I might have
been a Congressman if I hnd had some
sense.'
" 'Lor,' John,' she replied, encour
agingly, "it don't tako sonso to bo

(led to the comeliness oven of tho spot
and the future bears no impress of
brightness in tho years to come.
On last Thursday tho Association
mot for the purpose of celebrating its
first anniversary. Dr. W. B. Cherry,
one of tho landmarks of tho past, Is the
Presldont, and was unanimously re
elected in opposition to his protesta
tions thati his usefulness as a pre
siding oOlcor had passed away. The
remaining officers, Including thoipros
ent officient Executive Committee,
was also ro-eleotod. Col. B. F. Sloan,
In the absonce of Dr. MeByrde, wus
elected to discharge tho duties of
Secretary and Treasurer, and, also, as
Chairman of tho Executive Committee
to solicit, members of the Association,
and col led all funds due tho Associa
tion by reason of membership, as well
as from those who aro willing to aid
in Improving tho grounds and oomo
torv, and protect the place from stock
and* rolle hunters, or rathor vandals,
who have no rospect for tho dead and
no sympathy for .tho living.
The attendance was reasonably
good, especially of tho ladies, who aro
always foremost in works of lovo and
charity.
Dr. D. E. Friorsori, of Anderson,
had boon Invited to dolivor a sermon
on tho occasion, and ho was present,
toy. A. Wilson, of Soueca, opened
ho services by song and prayer, Dr,
Friorson then delivered his address,
whloh ho was pleased to term sormonlo
aud historical. Much care and labor
had been devotod by him in his re
soareh for facts upon which his re
marks, wore, in the main, foundod.
The history of tho ohurch, Hopowoll
Kooweo, from 1788-U to the pqriqd
wlthjp otp* recollection, was full and
vory interesting. Altogether tho ad
dross of Dr. Frierson was ablo and
scholarly and Is a most valuablo con
tribution to the current history of this
Boction, vlowed oithor'from a religious,
moral or literary point of vlow.
'Pho .Vssoel.aioi; adopted a resolu
tion tondoring its thauks to Dr. Frier
son for tho aolo and accoptablo man
ner in which he had discharged his
duty as orator of the day aud request
ing a copy of tho address for publica
tion.
The Association also dooldod to print
in pamphlet form tlio constitution
and by-laws of tho Association and
such proceedings as would naturally
interost tho roador and contribute to
tho success of tho laudable aims of tho
Association.
It is hoped that a potent feeling will
be awakonod in tho hearts of those
who have loved onos asleep in tho
old ohuroh yard, as woll as that of tho
public, all of vylioui aro interested In
tho permanent improvement of tho
grounds, and the protection and beauti
fying the homo of tho dead. A small
sum of money judiciously expondod
would accomplish ull that is desired
for the present. Evory one who has a
friend or relative buried there should
contribute, for this p'urposo, and the
public might woll assist in the same
good work to preserve intact the his
tory and traditions which cluster
around this interesting and instructive
plaeo.

WMATHER-OROP BULLETIN.
A General Review of tho Past. Season?
A Fairly Prosperous Year.
Director Bauer, iu phargo of tho
v.-cat her bureau at Columbia, is send
ing out tho lust of tho wookly reports
for this tuuson, has given a summary
of tho weather and crop conditions
during the past year, which will provo
interesting as a review to our readers :
There was. generally, an excess of
temperature from January to July, the
greatest departures both above and be
low tho normal having occurred in
March, alter the first of July the tem
perature averaged about normal uiutil
tho second week iu October, when it
became much cooler. Thoro were
some wide ltuctuuuous in tho tempera
ture, tho most notablo of which oo
Ottred on March 127th and IKHh, when
freezing weathor prevailed ovor the
entire State, destroying practically
the entile fruit crop und doing much
other damage. All vegetation, which
had attained eonsidorablo growth, and
crops that were planted and up, es
pecially gardens, wero ruined. There
was another eold-wavo with frosts about
tho middle of May, doing slight injury
to crops, and some unseasonable cool
woathor early in June.
There was loss than tho usual amount
of rainfall up to Juno 17 and 18 with
severe d rough t conditions aftor the 20th
of May. During July showers wero
numerous and timoly, and during Au
gust and Septombor thoro wero ox
cossivo and damaging rains throughout
tho eastern half of tho State, while at
tho samo time thoro woro portions of
the western half that nooded rain.
Thoro woro few hail storms and no
vory destructive onos, and until tho
storm of Soptombor 2?th and 28th but
little injury to crops was causod by
winds. Tho storm of October 8th and
9th did some dam ago, principally by
flooding bottom lands, Killing frosts
on tbo 14th and 18th of Gotobor in tho
wostern portions of tho Stato, cut all
late crops in that section.
Tho cotton crop was about an aver
age one In acreage. Its condition up
to tho first of July was, on tho whole,
poor, but tho holds woro woll worked
and oloan. From July on tho plant
mado rapid growth and began to fruit
heavily. This condition was sustained
throughout tbo season in tho westorn
portion of the State, while in tho east
ern half its condition dotoriated rap
idly during August and September en
tirely on account of much rain that
caused rot, rust, and shedding with a
consequent loss of tho plant's vitality,
as well as causing grass and weeds to
dofy the cultivator and tho hoe. Late
planting suffered most. Taking tho ag
gregate crop of tho Stato, it promises
to be somewhat loss than that of tbo
previous yoar, a few placos report it a
bettor ono.
Tho acreage of corn was largor than
for someyoars, and tho weather, on the
whole, oxtromely favorablo until tho
groator portion of the crop was made
so that tho corn crop Is undoubtedly
tho largest producod in yours, and is of
excellent, quality. Its condition was
Quite uniform ovor tho ontlro Stato.
Karly planting mado tho best erop.
Tho poa crop was not as good us us
ual, a. I though vt lie aoroago was some
what largor. Its condition was fair and
promising until tho middlo of August,
aftor which became diversified, gener
ally deteriorating, with a promise of a
vory ordinarv yield, estimated at (>0 per
cent, of tho full erop.
Thoro was planted, in many coun
tlos, a smaller aoreago of rice than
usual, owing principally to a scarcity
of seed, but tho erop grow well and re
turned a good, remunerative yield,
after allowance is made for the loss
from tho Soptombor storm.
Aftor allowing for exceptions, sor
ghum was a full cropof a suporior qual
ity. Tho acroage was up to tho avor
ago, if not largor.
Tho tobacco crop, wlioro oultivatod,
did fairly woll, although tho woathor
was not entirely favorable, but it prov
ed to bo a paying crop.
Grassos mado all their growth, after
tbo July ruins sot in, yot tho usual
amount of forego was saved.
A largo aoreago of swoot potato
slips was planted, aqd tho average
yield of this Important food erop was,
perhaps, in oxco6s of the average
Irish potatoes did not do as woll.
Small grains were moro or less a
failure, oxcopt that a fow counties pro
duced tho largest oat erop ever known
there. Tho weather conditions were
gouorally adverse to wheat and the
yield, consequently, very poor.
It was a poor year for truck farms
and gardens, but during the summer
months vegetables wero plentiful.
Tho adverse weather conditions can
bo brielly summarized thus: The
March freeze ; May aud Juuedrought;
August and September exeossivo rains;
September hurricane ; Octobor floods
and early frosts. It was, on tho whole,
a fairly prosperous year for farmers,
for thoro was u plenteous yield, but
thoy aro greatly discouraged by tbo
prevaling low prices for their pro
ducts, especially eotton.

Shooting Affray Near camden.
?The correspondent of tho Nows and
I Courier says that a serious shooting
j alTruy took place near Camden on tho
iron bridgo across tho Watoreo Rlvor,
I between Mr. J. V. McDowall, of Cam
| dou, and Mr. Joo Smith of West
I Watoreo. Mr. McDowall was shot in
j four places, one ball taking effect in tho
' right arm just above tho olbowj ono In
I his left hand, one In tho left side and
I ono in his abdomen. Smith also struck
I him three scvoro blows on tho head
j with a knife handle, which he had
cliuched in his hund. It is roportod
that Smith's coat was struck with a
ball from McDowall's pistol, but tho
ball did not touch tho skin. Fivo shots
wore tired by Smith and two or threo
by McDowall.
From tho best information I can
ffather tho troublo arose about tho
niying and sollingof cotton 6ecd. Jim
Smith, a younger brother of Joo'b,
mado uso of somo insinuating remarks
to Mr. McDowall yoatoi day, which ro
uulteu in MeDowall iorking him from
his wagon and doallng him sovoral
blows with his fist or a walking cane.
About 12 o'clock to-day Joo Smith wont
to tho river, whore Mr. McDowall has
boon ougagod for somo time buying
cotton seed, and aftor addressing him
iu au apparently pleasant manner told
Mr. McDowall that ho came to got
satisfaction from him, aud in a few
seconds struck McDowall across tho
head and, it is said, fired the first shot.
Smith Is across tbo river, and I have
thoroforo boon uuable 10 get a state
ment from him. Mr. McDowall
managed with the assistance of Mr.
B. J. Amnions, tho bridgo keeper, to
hitch. h;s horses and drive homo.
Prompt medical assistance was pi von
him, and he is resting *>u9y as could bo
expected just now. Tho wound in tho
abdomen is tho most serious, and it is
impossible to tell what will be tho ro
bultof it.
Mr. MeDowall is a woll known citizen
of Camden, and is a wOU-liwlaw of Con.
John D. Kennedy. IBs recovery is
sincerely hoped for.
?Tho Ferris wheel bus boon a sort
of white elephant on the bands of tho
owners ever since the World's Fair. It
paid very well there, but sinco thoy
navo not known what to do with it.
It is now proposed to take it to Now
York aud turn it into a sort of agigan
I tie elevator to carry people to a roof
g luden uud skating rink, which will
bo tho highest in tho world. Tho
plan is to erect the wheel as it stood
ft) Chicago. Outside of the wheel and
trollis work will be four steel columns.
These columns will run closer together
as they ascend until the top is reached,
21)0 feet, where a street platform 200
foot square will bo constructed, As
oending from four earners of the plat
form will bo four more steel columns,
running up forty feet to a pyramid tow
er, protected by a railing which will
sorvo as an observatory. In summer tho
platform will bo open and nsod for a roof
garden. In winter it will be closed in
with glass and heated with steam.
Mr. Ferris believes the platform will
bo sufficiently largo to allow room f?l
lt stage and orchestra when it is desir
ed to use it as a roof garden.
