The following are telegraphic summaries
from ciimate and crop sections
of the weather bureau in the cotton
belt and Cuba:
IvOiii?iana?Cotton picking is rapidly
approaching completion in many localities
and about three-fourths of the
erop in this State, as a whole, has been
gathered. All correspondents report
cotton being ginned and marketed as
fast as picked.
But little rice remains in the field
uncut, threshing is in full progress
througout the rice district and nearly
all rice mills are running to their fullest
capacity.
The showers during the latter part
of 'ast week were followed by a decided
drop in temperature and, with the
exception of light local showers fair
wcUhor with night temperatures below
normal has prevailed since. For sugar
<ane. these- conditions at this season
are almost Ideal, and while the cane
now being cut and ground, on account
of being too green, is not yielding the
quantity of sugar exited, is ripening
and increasing in sugar content very
rapidiy. A large additional number
of mills will begin operations during
the coming week. Fa 1 planting and
wind-rowing sugar can; for seed is
progressing.
Texas?Dry, cool week, very favorable
for out door work; cotton picking
progressing rapidly, nearing comple
lion in some luraiiura, wnuc uui
half completed in other sections, com*
plaints that pickers are scarce come
from a few plaies; corn gathering progressing
nicely; sugar cane doing well
and maturing: rice harvesting continues.
crop good; rain needed for truck
gardening and plowing: wheat seeding
is well under way and with favorable
weather a good crop will be sown.
Oklahoma Territory?Weather clear
a-d cool and favorable for cotton picking.
which progressed rapidly, scarcity
cf pickers continues; light frost occurred
on the Sth and 9th but the damage
reported is very slight: cotton has
improved in appearance and is maturing
very fast.
\rfcr.naas?Weather cool, light rain
I general, but did not interfere seriously
! with ecton picking, which p-ogressed
rapidly, picking about half completed
in most sections, while in otheis it is
I ucaring completion, most of the cotton
is open except in a few localities where
it continues to bloom and form squares
light frost in some localities, no damage
reported.
Missi.-sippi?Cool and rainy weather,
quite unfavorable for gathering cotton,
opening checked, nearly through picking
in places, rain and wind reduced
I grade; barley, rye and oats being
I sown: turnips and late gardens im?
j proved: light frost in northern section
! caused no damage.
Alabama ? Cool and unfavorable.
* *1?- -.v. I~K
i wiid mucn wei wtsiuici, nui>.u uu.u
I aged cotton, retarded picking and
j caused some corn and cotton to sprout,
but favorable for fall plowing; cotton
and corn nearly all gathered, with light
yield: turnips inferior, but other minor
crops satisfactory; som* oats belug
sown.
Georgia?Rain* during the early portion
of the week delayed picking and
did some damage to cotton, causing it
to drop, and sprout in the boll, very
little cotton unpicked in the southern
half of the State; some wheat and oats
sown; turnips gardens and pastures
much improved.
Florida?Week favorable for seedings
and transplanting vegetables; cotton
picking progressed where not delayed
by rains, bulk of the crop has b?en
houseu; orange shipments have begun;
citrus tree* and pineapples doing well.
South Carolina?Cooler, with much
cloudiness and frequent rains interfered
with picking the little cotton remaining
in the fields, some localities
report cotton blooming and fruiting
freely; round in condition for plowing;
June rice harvest progressing, but too
i wet to thresh: minor crops improved.
North Carolina?Cool, cloudy weather.
with rains, delayed cotton picking
hist improved condition of soil; new
growth started in cotton, plants and
some blooms reported, hut too late to |
mature; very little cotton left in the
fields, and the grade of that is poor;
sowing winter wheat advancing rapilly
and the seeds are sprouting well.
Tennessee?Week cco! and wet, with
ruin on three days; cotton picking considerably
delayed, but as a rule the
bulk of the crop has been gathered,
the average crop will he short; peanuts
and sweet potatoes are being dug, and
the so>ving of wheat generally begun.

Harry A. Lankly Shoots his Own Son
at (jreenviPe.
Greenville .Special.?The ready pistol
has been employed once more in
this city, and a young white man is a:
the point of death in consequence of
the readiness with which his own
father used the weapon, intending the
' shot for another person. Friday
night between 12 and 1 o'clock Polite
Sergeant Gunnels and Policeman
J Brown, with Constables LaKar and
Ooienian, went to the tenderloin district,
near the electric power house on
Broad street, for the purpose ci making
a raid where liquor was supposed
to be kept. The object of their search
was no* attained, as the liquor was
hidden out of sight, and as they were
returning to the police station pistol
.= hcts rang out upon the midnight air,
when they quickened pace in the direc
ticn of the tiring only to discover that
they were too bite to apprehend the
offenders against the ordinance which
forbids shooting cn the highways. The
men engaged in tire pistol practice had
decamped, and a solitary individual
whom the officers encountered on the
street said that he was not concerned
in the fusilade, but kindly informed
Sergeant Gunnels who the guilty parties
were. Armed with this information
the officers continued in the direction
of Main street, but it was only
a short while before they heard a shot
back where they came from, which
was followed by cries for help evidently
from a wounded man.
The officers returned to the tenderloin
and found Melvin Langley had
been seriously if not dangerously
wounded by a shot fired within a few
feet by his father. Harry A. Langley
who explained that he had intended
the shots for another man. It seem.that
Wesley Fuller and Jesse Fuller
were engaged in the shooting which
had first attracted the attention of the
officers, and Melvin Langley allegec
that they were shooting at him. which
caused him to go home and acquaini
his father with the circumstances
Harvey Langley responded very qu^ek
ly to his son's appeal for assistance
and together they went back to the
scene of the shooting with the intention
of renewing the melee. The senior
I Langley took a position in me tui uci
of the chimney while the young mac
went around the house, but in a few
minutes the son came in sight of th<
father, when the latter fired his plsto
with the result of sending a 3S hal
through the body cf the son. inflicting
a wound from which the young mat J
is supposed to he dying.
Harvey Langley told the police off: j
cers how the shooting occurred, am j
expressed the utmost contrition for tin
unfortunate deed, explaining the wheh
transaction upon the theory tha* it
was an accident. He was taken 1nt(<
custody, however, and the patrol wag
on was sent to convey the woundec !
- - - ? i
son to Ms tatners nome on cietemm
street, several hundred yards from tht
place where he was shot. Physicians
were summoned and the opinion was
expressed at once that the wounc
would prove fatal. Saturday mornin}
the father recanted his story told t(
the officers, and declared that the sho.
was fired by Wesley Fuller who was!
arrested and lodged in jail. Harvej 1
Langley has remained in the custodj
of a deputy sheriff through the day. anc
in the afternoon was taken to his

Double Hang'ng in Orangeburg.
There will be a double hanging ir
Orangeburg county on the 26th of this
month?Warby Wine and Major Greer
are under death sentence to be hanget
at that time. Efforts have been nmd?
to have the sentence commuted to lit'<
imprisonment. Counter arguments
have been presented to Gove; nor MrSweeney
and he has been begged to allow
the law to take its course. Solicitci
Jervey and Judge Gage, to whom th;.

Palmetto Notes.
There was over $15,000 worth of Columbia
real estate which changed
hands last week?as recorded in the
books at the auditor's office. One oi
two sales known to have been mad.
have not yet been recorded. The prices
paid were good.

Big Crops at the State Farm.
The State farm will do finely this
year. The returns will be much better
than they were last year. Under the
directions of Cant. Griffith more oats
.-.nd wheat than usual were planted,
and the State farm has raised 2.600
bushels of wheat, and no flour will
have to be bought this year. Altogether
not over 400 acres were planted
in cotton this year, and on this acreage
272 bales have been picked, and Capt.
Griffith expects 50 additional bales,
which will run the total yield this
year to 322 bales. Of the 272 bales
ginned the Penitentiary has thus far
sold only 33 bales and can afford to
wait.

CAMDEN EXTENSION.
Tl:is Part of the Northwestern Railroad
Opened.
Sumter, Special.?The uamcien cxiens;on
of the Northwestern railroad, was
inspected, accepted and opened for regular
trafac by the railroad commission
Friday.
The inspection was made by Chairman
W. D. Evans, of the railroad commission.
who, after a careful inspection
of the roadbed and track, declared the
road to be in excellent cor.d ti>n t
and one of the i>est pieces of new road \
he had ever inspected.
The private ear of President Thomas
Wilson with the inspetor's p:rty. (02sisting
of Commissioner W. E>. Evans,
Gov, Mr Sweeney, J. F. Laughry, Dr.
II. J. McLaurin, R. 0. Purdy, Louis Appelt
and H. G. Ostecn left here attached
to the regular train leaving at 9.45
a. m., and arrived at Camden at Id: 15.
At Rembert's station the party was
joined by Mr. E. E. Rrmbert. The
party spent several hours in Carrden,
and left on the return tiip at 3 15 p.
m.. arriving in Sumter at 5 o'clock.
The distance from Sumter to Camden
by rail is now thirty miles, the railage
of the NcrthWestern being 27.5 and
the rernainedr of the distance being
over the track of the Southern Railway
with which President Wilson h2s erfected
temporary tra kage arrangements.
The Northwestern now uses
the depot of the Ohio River and Cha-leston
railroad at Camden, bat in a
short time will enter the city over its
own tacks and will have its own terminal.
The road runs through a tine
farming section of country that has
heretofore been without railroad facilities
and that is susceptible of great
development, especially in the growl-g
of fruit and crops. This road will be
of great benefit to this city and the
regular schedule whi.h goes into effect
at or.te is especially favorable to Sumter
and convenient to the people living:
along the road.
To Develop Water Power. ,
Mr. George E. Ladshaw returned
from Lancaster, where he made a contract
with the Indiaoia Water Power
Company to develop the Land's Ford
water power, on the Catawba river,
which will mean the bringing into service
of 10.000 horse power. This plant
is developed to transmit the power
electrically to Fort Lawn, Lancaster,
Chester and other towns for operating
cotton mills and other .ndustnes. This
is a work of considerable magnitude,
but only adds one mor6 to the long list
jof larger and important jobs satisfactorily
and successfully completed by
the civil engineering firm o! Ladshaw
and Ladshaw. Itl wil require several
months for completion.?Spartanburg
