Bauer, section director of the weather bureau, has issued the following statement in regard to the progress of farm work during the month of March: "The temperature during March was variable, but averaged sligttly above normal. There was considerable freezing weather in the western portion, while on the coast the lowest point reached was 4 degrees above freezing, with light frosts in this section on the 10th, 16th, and 29th, and heavy frost on the 17th. In the western counties the frosts were generally killing ones on those dates, with thin ice on the 10th, 16th and 29th. However, over the western naif of the State vegetation was not far enough advanced to be hurt, although in places peaches were more or less damaged. The damage to the commercial peach orchards, in the "ridge" section. was very slight. The month's precipitation was wholly in the form of rain, that fell at frequent intervals, there having been nnopol polno rin tho cornnrt *lf,h fith 7th, 14th, 18th, 21st, and 27th. The rains were heavy in places on the 6th, 7th, 23rd and 24th. A few localities had excessive precipitation, but as a rule it was slightly deficient, although the soil was kept supplied with sufficient moisture for easy tillage. Farm work made rapid advance throughout the month in the eastern half, and after the 15th in the western half, especially the preparation of lands for corn, cotton and other staple wops. Planting operations were confined largely to the eastern and central counties where much corn, considerable rice and a little cotton were planted, as well as the usual minor crops and gardens. As a rule, planting operations made normal progress, with the soil in from good to excellent condition except in certain rice districts and in a few western counties where there was an excess of precipitation that delayed plowing and planting. "The cultivation of tobacco is receiving less attention than last year, but the plants in beds are vigorour, though small for the season. "The weather was not persistently warm enough for the rapid growth of winter wheat and oats, although these grains made a marked improvement and are in fairly good condition. Bpring oats germinated favorably and came up to good stands. "The truck raising districts were favored by the weather, and early vegetables were being marketed by the close of the month. "Pears, plums and early blooming varieties cf peaches finished blooming In all but the extreme northwestern counties, where apple and cherry trees only began to bloom during the last decade. "Pastures made slow growth and afforded but scant grazing in the most favored localities, and none in the western portions." Mayfield Withdraws. Senator S. G. Mayfield has withdrawn from the congressional race in the second South Carolina district. This leaves Mr. Theodore G. Croft successor to his father in the national House of Representatives. Mr. Mayfield's letter is as follows: "General Willie Jones, Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, Columbia. S. C.: "Sir: I have this day decided to and do hereby withdraw from the race for Congress in the second congressional district in the second primary. By so doing I save to the people a further contest for the unexpired term at a time when they rae exceedingly busy and yield to my opponent. Mr. Theodore G. Croft, who has received almost a majority of all votes cast in the first primary, open fieid. "Very respectfully. (Signed) "MAYFIELD." Mr. Croft will now be declared the Democratic nominee and elected. Collision on Atlantic Coast Line. Train 35. fast West India limited mail, and the second section of train 208. north-bound vegetable freight, both on the Atlantic Coast Line, had a head-on collision at 4:45 o'clock Sunday morning, a mile of Scranton. in Williamsburg county. The impact was so great that me nig iucumuu<u, they went together, "reared up" and turned crosswise of the track. The mail car was broken in half. Persons on the passenger train were not hurt. One of the engineers and his fireman and a mail clerk were slightly hurt. That the watch of Engineer McMillan, of the freight train, had gone wrong, is the cnlv explanation for the accident. Offices Abolished. Washington. Special.?The Southern Railway has abolished the office of assistant to the general manager, and of assistant general passenger agent at the genera] headquarters here. The former office was made vacant by the death of Capt. William H. Green, and the duties of the place have been assumed by Assistant General Manager Dugan.

Aiken. Special.?A barn and stable building on the plantation of Capt. A. S. Seigler. six miles north of Aiken, was burned last Thursday. The barn contained about twenty stalls, with wagon sheds, etc. The barn had mt been entered for about three weeks. *_apr. seigier ana ni? ionn were in the yard and the first knowledge of the fire was obtained when the flames burst through the roof and the whole barn was seen to be on fire. The farm is one of the largest in the county, and the burning barn was surrounded by many other buildings, which were in danger. The fire was confined to the building in which it originated. The cause of the fire is supposed to be from the heating of the fodder. The property burned was valued at about $800, partially covered by insurance. Escaped from Chain Gang. Aiken, Special.?County Supervisor Eidson has offered a reward of $10 each for the capture of Luke Seigler and Roman Mitchell, negro convicts, who escaped from the county chaingang yesterday afternoon.

It has five ammunition chests, which will carry a total of 150 rounds?30 rounds to each chest. It has a sliding breech and can be loaded very swiftly. It will probably be used at the cemetery on Memorial Day. May 10th, to fire a salute with blank cartridges. The gun is now in good working order, the soldiers having been aided by Messrs. H. Y. Cunningham and D. W. Kershaw, machinists. in placing the various pieces of the gun together. The Southern's depot at Huntersrille. Mecklenburg county, was burned to the ground Monday night, in addition to the building a large lot of merchandise was also consumed. Just how the building caught is not known. There was no fire in the office, and it is thought that it caught from a passing engine, or was struck by lightning. The burned building was a frame structure. and burned quickly. The contents were also of the inflammable kind, and this added to the fury of the flames. Governor Ayeock Tuesday morning fixed June 15th as the date for the exe cution of three murderers: Adam Hunt, of Person county: Arch Lipscomb, of Greenville: and William R. Munn. of Cumberland. These are cases in which appeals from findings and sentences in lower courts have been affirmed, making it necessary for new dates to ??e set for hangings. Revenue Collector Hare, of Raleigh, made a raid in Johnston county recently and found Mrs. Bob Eason making whiskey in her kitchen in a 60 gallon distillery. It has been in operation for a long time. He destroyed the still. Her husband furnished the supplies and she manufactured the whiskey. He sold it.

I \ PALMETTO CROP BULLETIN j The Conditions for the Past Week as Seen by the Department. The week ending 8 a. m., May 2, had a mean temperature of about 64 degrees, whichois nearly four below normal, due to nearly normal temperatures during the first and last portions, and very cool weather during the mid* die of the week, with an extreme minimum of 40 at Greenville and Spartanburg on the 30th. Light frost occurred on that date in parts of Greenville county. Ttie week was generally windy, and there was less than a normal amount of sunshine, and the lack of sunshine Is said to have been detri- , mental to growing crops. < The rainfall was generally light, and \ places in vairous parts nad no rain. 1 but parts of Colleton, Darlihgton, ( Chesterfield, Marlboro, and Pickens 1 counties had over an inch of rain, while counties adjoining these had . beneficial amounts, nevertheless the \ need of a general rain is indicated for all parts of the State. The drought is severe along the coast. The month just ended was the driest April of * record since 1870 at Charleston, and the third driest at Columbia in the ( last seventeen years. < Farm work made rapid progress as t during previous weeks,, except that t the ground is too hard for proper prep- 1 aration, especially bottom lands in- | tended for late corn. Planting operations were pushed, and for staple crops, are nearly finished. Cultivation of corn has become active over most of the State. * Corn is all planted except in the * extreme west, and on bottoms. It has attained from fair to good stands, t except that birds and worms are de- j structive in many places, necessitat- t ine much replanting. Much corn looks t yellow from the low temperature. J Cotton planting is nearly finished J except in the extreme northwestern * f parts. Germination is slow and un- ^ satisfactory, due to the dry soil and s low temperature. Only a small part ( of the crop is up. The stands are i generally poor, and the plants sickly. Replnting has been done in a few places, owing to the failure of the I first planting to come up, and because some of the first plants have died after j coming up. Tobacco transplanting is nearly fin- . ished in a few districts, and the work has stopped in others awaiting rain. ( That set out is growing nicely. The ( cool weather was favorable for wheat, ( but the lack of moisture detrimental < to both wheat and oats. The latter is < heading low, and has turned yellow. Truck was cut short by drought along ' the coast, although shipments eontin- 1 ue heavy. It is impossible to deter- * mine definitely the conditions of the J poach crop: many reports indicate ex- j (cssive droppings, some that the crop ( is uninjured and others that it has ! been destroyed. Apples, plums and f cherries are generally promising. 1 Pasture-i and earden. as well as all < minor crops, need rain and warmer weather. Negroes Ruled Out. New Orleans, Special.?After a long end hard struggle the leaders of the lily white Republicans in caucus decided against the negro, and it was agreed to send a solid white delegation at large to the Chicago convention, instructed for President Roosevelt. Collector of the Port Henry McCall and ex-Governor Warmouth fought hard to get a negro on the delegation, believing it would be beneficial to President Roosevelt, in the doubtful States, but Chairman hTanK tj. w imams im a | | strong fight for an all-white delegation The delegates chosen are: Pearl Wight, H. C. Warmouth, W. J. Beham and L. r. Suthon. Pensions Paid. Chester. Special?The clerk of the court was busy last week paying out money to the pension claimants in the county. There are 134 names on the roll distributed as follows: Class A 3; Class B 7"; Class C No. 1, 11; No. 2, 62; No. 3. 13; No. 4. 4S. The total number of pensioners in the county is one less than on the roll of 1903. so that Chester contributes nothing to the increase of 22. as compared with last year'^ list. To Lay Cornerstone.

Stewed steak requires to be very ilowly cooked; for this reason put it n a covered jar in the oven, on in a laucepan of boiling water.

For the unexpected guest little cakes with a cup of tea or chocolate will do 'ull duty, and they are delicious also to serve with ices at the luncheon or linner table.

In flavoring these little cakes, do not use lemon Juice if a light cake is wanted. The acid in lemon juice sets free carbon dioxide in a large measure, upon contact with the soda in the b?king powder. It is best to restrict its use to cakes in which a close texture is desirable. Bear in mind also that cakes in which the yolks of eggs are used require less heat than cakes made with the whites of v.ggs. as the yolks of eggs are so rich in fat they bi:rn quickly.? What to Eat. Meat soffle may serve as the piece de resistance of the luncheon. Since, as a rule, this and similar mixtures are well seasoned, one meat is about as good as another for a foundation, unless chicken is used. The odds and ends of the roast, or of steak ortihops, or even soup meat, should be run through the meat chopper with a thin slice or two of boiled ham, one of boiled tongue and one or two of bologna sausage. The last can be obtained from a nearby butcher. If they cannot be had a little home-made sausage and a thin Slice of ham. the latter boiled for a few minutes, will work wonders. Grind these with the meat flrie. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, a little chopped parsley and. if it is wanted, with a little onion juice. Add enough bread crumbs to make sufficient quantity. The usual proportion for a souffle is two eupfuls of meat to one cupful of b'read crumbs. To two eupfuls of meat and bread crumbs add a cupful of white sauce and the yolks of two eggs. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs, till the buttered ramekins half full of the mixture, sprinkle with buttered crumbs and bake in a quick oven. Serve as soon as they come from the Are, or they will fall. The white sauce is made of one cupful of milk and a tablespoonful each of butter and flour. Salt and pepper are added to taste. ' "t t r .
