a SPLENDID HLvInCE.
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.
