The govomm- n' woather reports show conulusivt ly that the city of Charleston is ono of the coolest cities in tiie country in summer, much cooler than any of the Northern cities. This is due to the sea breezes. One can bo as comfortable in Charleston City in July as in 1.aureus or Greenville. Of course on Sullivan's laland or the Isle of Calms, where there are ^ood hotels and boarding houses in plenty, one can be a trrcat dealer cooler and more comfortable. There is nothing like the delight of sni (-bathing and the surf both at the Isle of I'alma and Sullivan's Inland Is unexcelled. Charleston is roher In scenes of his toric interest than uny city almost in America. For example one may see Michael, the oldest eliureh building in the country, Fort Sumtor and Moul trle, Calhoun's Crave, in St. Philips churchyard, the Charleston College Museum. Oscoola Grave on Sullivan's Islaud, Boauregard's sword and other objeots In the city ball, and scenes tec numerous to mention. The tin CO dol lar excursion on the 17th glvos op portunity to see them all. DIVIDEND TIME. July Pin incuts by Progressive ( opera tions to their Slureholdors. The month of July is in business circles the dullest period of the year, but since Laurons has become a manu facturing and financial centre, the dullness is greatly relieved by the distribution of Corporation earnings at this time. The Directors of the Bank of Lau rons met last Saturday and dec'ared a semi-annual dividend of 'ii per cent on the capital stock oi the bank, which is $50,000.00. The National Hank of Lau rens had Its director's meeting on the same day and ai-i declared .'!? per cent semi annually. On Monday the People's Loan and Exchange Hank's directory declared a semi-annual divi dend of live per cent. Attention is called to the statement of this bank appearing In this i.-sue from which its highly prosperous condition may be observed. Its deposits are greater than they were at the corresponding time last year. On July first the shareholders of the Lauivns Cotton Mills received their semi-annual dividend of live per cent. The Laurcns Bonded Ware-house directors met last week and declared an annual dividend of ien per cent, on its capital stock of ten thousand dol lars. Mr. X. B. Dial is the president of this successful institution. The Laurens Oil and Fertilizer Mill declaicd an annual dividend of ten per cent on its capital stock of forty thou sand dollars. Tho aggregate sum paid by those six corporations is about $31 155.00. This ought to carry a very valuable lesson to the people of this city and county. The payment ol this considerable sum of money in the dull season of the year will be a wonderful help to the shareholders and will prove a great stimulus to business. The Prize Wheat Contest. Messrs. Thomas B, Brown. B. B. Blakeley, Jeff .Jack.-, VV. C. Irby, 3. I). Garlington, Hugh B. Gray, W. P. Brown, J. S Machen, Wad Thompson and Frank Bailey agreed to contest for the best yield of wheat on an acre of land,each contestant to give to lead ing crup a bushel of wheat. Mr. T. B, Brown's acre threshed .17 bushels and '. pint. B. B. Blakoly was a close second with 30 bushel, S. I). Garling ton, :>?;, Wad Thompson, 31, J. s. Machen, 30|, \V. C. Irby, 30, the other I contestants .'!(! or thereabout. Thus it will be seen that it was a close race all around and theso gentlemen de serve credit for their object lesson and letting their noighbors know what our lands with good farming will do. For tho bonollt of our farmers we glv Mr. Brown's experiment. Mr. Brown describes his land as durk or chocolate Thirteen two horse loads of stable ami ton of cow manure were spread broadcast, Iho land broken with twister, two horses, followed with scooter, two horse): then rolled with a lotf and harrowed. Then broadcast Tub pounds acid, and 400 lbs, cotton .seed meal, and one bii-lici and one-eighth wiie.it, plowed in with scooter (two horses) rolled and harrowed as in pre paration. In tho preparation tho scooter was driven as deeply as two horses could pull It. The wheat was of the blue stem varimy and cut with an ordinary era lie and ^rrass blade. The average hight of the wheat was four feet four inches. Again, 1 sack of fertilizer, (coroollte, we are not sure of th j spelling) was spread broad-cast the 1st of March. Mr. Brown puts his expenditure at 60 and took no ac count of the labor. Mr. Brown Is a plain, industrious, thinking farmer, doing bis own work In great part. Ho will generously donate his prize wheat to the aged ministerial fund of the Baptist church. FOB SALE One 20 Horse Power Engine and Hoi lor, two 50 Saw Gins and Condon sers, one double Box Press.
