Death of Capt. George McCutehen. ST. CHARLES, Sept. 25. Is life worth living ? We b*d HQ affirma? tive answer to this question, when so large a concourse of our intelligent and cultivated, as well as uncultured, and untutored people of both races, assembled at Mt. Zion to wit? ness the interment of the mortal remains of Capt.George McCutehen. His upright and useful life came to an end on Saturday, 22, instant. His exemplary life is worthy of imitation. Could we all follow io his footsteps we might all have the comforting text repeated over our graves. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of bis saints." Our yonng pastor gare the afflicted family and friends the bright and beautiful consolation imbedded in the Scripture, The good Christian soldier has passed over the river to join the immortal band of our brothers io the heavenly land. S.D. M. LACOSTE. Wedgefield Letter. WEDGEFIELD, S. C., Sept. 25, 1894. We have had good weather for picking cot? ton and the crop is being harvested very rapidly. Labor being abundant it is picked as fast as it opens. Bolt worms seem to be doing- considerable damage. Your corres? pondent was shown about a dozen bolls, all sizes, by a prominent farmer, and each one showed that it had been destroyed by the boll worm. He said they had cut him ont of j five bales of cotton. He will house about thirty-five bales. This shows a large per cent, destroyed. Some one entered Mr.- J. H. Ay cock's store on his Tiverton farm on last Friday night and stole about $60 worth of checks. As yet no cine to the theft. The family of Mr. X McBride have returned from Mayasville, where they have been for the past two months. Mr. J. H. Aycock returned home on last Saturday, after spending ibe summer travel? ing around for his health. * Ber. Dr. N. W. Bdmouds preached in the Presbyterian Church last Sunday to a full congregation.

Burgess, who is employed at Mr. Hurst's steam mill about four miles from here, while putting the belt on the pulley one day last week, had his right arm caught and broken between the elbow and shoulder. It may have to be amputated. A negro boy in the same neighborhood, while hunting last week lost au eye by the tube blowing out of his gun and striking him in the eye. The pea vine hay crop is a partial failure this year. The vines have not flourished as they usually do, ?nd have no peas on them at al!, as a rule. Mr. J.

The week ending September 24th wu* cooler than usu?' during the first three da\s. the departure from the normal averaging about one degree a day, but the remainder of the week was warmer than usual. The nights were uniformly cool. The highest temperature was 92 reported from Greenwood, Abbeville connty ; the lowest 52 reported from Greenville on the 21st and from Liberty, Pickeoa county, on the 22nd. The week began with cloudy, and rainy weather which lasted until Thursday on which day the weather became settled aod remained clear to the end of the week. About an aver? age of sunshine for the week. There were heavy rains on the 28tb and I 19th, qnite general over the State. In some portions of the State the rainfall was exces? sive, flooding bottom lands and damaging ingathered crops, and staining cotton, where the bolls were opeo ; pea-vine hay was also damaged io some localities ; turnips aod other root crops were also io jared more or less by the heavy rain ; where the rainfall was not excessive it proved beneficial, espe? cially to late gardens and to late cotton giv? ing the small bolls a cbauce to develop aod ! nature. Pease, turnips, aod potatoes were generally beneficed, as well as pastures. Cottoa pickiog was interrupted the first of the week, by the rainy aod cloudy weather, which also checked the opening of the bolls, as did the prevailing cool nights, bot during the clear weather that followed, pickiog was resumed aod is progressiog rapidly. Reports indicate that in many localities half of I? e crop has been gathered, and the remainder is in sight, there being but poor prospect of a late crop." With a few widely scattered ex-, ceptions, the reports indicate a short crop, considerably below last year's yield. As the picking advances the former estimates of a short crop are being verified. It is generally stated that the crop is being marketed as fast as gathered. Sea Island cotton coming into market very slowly. Corn is, largely, being gathered, and, with the exception of some late fields which are said to be poor, the ears are well filled and heavy and under the influence of the bot, dry weather the keroel is ripening hard and dry. Rice harvest is progressiog finely with a fair yield. Owing to a scarcity of seed last spring the aggregate crop will be a medium one, the acreage being smaller. The pea crop is not of uniform condition, the excessive raina dotiog its growing season were iojurious to it io portions of the State, peanuts are being dug and yielding ool v fairly well. Turnips and other root crops are not doing as well as previously iodicated, except sweet potatoes which have improved with a very good yield in places and poor io other localities. Insects have attacked turnips io some counties, cabbages, also, are being de? stroyed by them and rotting badly. Syrnp makiog from caoe and sorgbom continues actively and the yield is consider? ably greater than from that 6rst gathered, there being a marked increase. Third crop of vegetables being marketed from trock farms along the South coast. Third crop of Irish potatoes premises a good yield. Oats he lng sown to some ex teot.
