^ Weekly Crop Bulletin. COLUMBIA, S. C , July 28, 1896 This bulletin covers the weathei and crop conditions for the weel ending Saturday, July 28, and in it* preparation were used reports frorr one or more correspondents in eacl county of the State. WEATHER The first of the week the tempera . tare was considerably below the nor ^mal with a steady rise throughout th? week. The condition of the air wai ?? humid and sultry, and the nighti very warm. The maximum tempera ture was 100 at Beaufort, Allendal? Mind Gillisonville on the 24th anc 25th ; the minimum, 64, at Liberty and Loopers on the 19th. The mean temperature for the week was 80, and the approximate normal is 81. There were scattered showers, gen? erally light, over the entire State, at: 36 of the rainfall stations reported jk some rain during the week, the aver i , age amount for the State having beei] 0*47 and the normal for the same pe? riod is approximately 1.41. The fol? lowing places reported heavy rains : Angosta, Ga , 1.75; Florence, 1.79 ; Kingscree, 190; Yemassee, 2.20: BBL^Loopers, 1.50; Lonshore, 1.29 ; Ches PP^terfieJd, 1 30 ; Effingham, 1.84 ; Liber? ty, 1 00 ; Andersou, 2.06 ; Darlington, ?.00 ; Colombia, 2.47; Hagood, 1.30. Twenty other places reported amounts ranging from '.Trace" tc 0.96 of an inch. ' The precentage of sunshine for the N State was 67 per cent, of the pos? sible which was nearly normal, but in portions of the State there was very little sunshine while in the northeastern counties there was ai most an entire absence of clouds. CROPS. The week was a favorable ono for all crops and for some, notably cot? ton, exactly the weather needed for it3 best development. Corn fired in a few localit?s under che influence of the hot sun on wet ground, and in such places fodder pulling, was hurried. Saving fodder is general in the eastern portion of the State and will begun elsewhere. =>? Late corn looks very promising over ' the entire State. Reports on cotton indicate a rapid development of tue plant, and from a number of places come reports of growth having stopped, but bloom? ing and fruiting freely. Rust and shedding are reported from nine counties, ascribed to the wet condi tion of the soil. In the western counties an excessive growth of weed is reported, and at the same time the crop is characterized as "as fine a crop N as ever known " The identical words being used by correspondents from four counties. Sea Island cot? ton made market inproeement. . Tobacco curing well under way. but not curing well. In Florence the crops is doing well, elsewhere it is not so good. Rice continues to grow well, and much of it is heading. As far 'as known no damage resulted from the high water on the Santee, Cooper, Edisto or other rivers in the main rice region. ^ Peas, turnips, forage crops and sweet potatoes are doing well, except that the latter are running very much to vine. FINAL KEP O RT ON FRUIT. Correspondents report fruit gener? ally to have been more or less a fail? ure. Peaches bloomed freely and the young fruit set well, except for some varieties that were injured by frost in March, bot the hot weather of May caused the young peaches to drop freely, which continued to maturity. Peaches also suffered from insect enemies' so that of the fruit that rip- j ened but a small portion was perfect or marketable. There were reports j of peaches rotting on the trees. Taking quantity and quality into con sideration, the peach crop was about one-fourth of an average one Apples are quite plentiful in cer- j tain counties or parts of counties, ; and very scarce elsewhere Some'?? trees that bore no fruit last year are 1 * loaded this year. Apples blossomed | freely and generally the fruit set well, ; but during the extreme heat of May it began to drop freely and the con? dition of apples deteriorated steadily. While apples are plentiful in places, j all correspondents speak of the fruit | as of very inferior quality, due, it 1 seems to insect bites and worms. - Thus reducing its commercial value '' ? to considerable less, than half of an | average crop. \ j I Pears were excellent in a few places only, and generally suffered the ?ame injury with like results as apples and peaches did. Blight af? fected fruit trees seriously, and in places where never before known Plums, apricots aud cherries were failures. The reports on grapes indicate a uniform excellence of . condition throughout the State, with local ex? ceptions where they are rotting more or less, and one report from Lexing? ton, where they are pronounced a failure, but this condition will not apply to the whole country. The qualty of grapes is pronounced ex? cellent everywhere, and summing up all reports, grapes are a full average both as to quality and quantity. The bullace family of grapes are an abun? dant crop. Cultivated benies did fairly well, and wild berries were exceedingly plentiful and of fine quality. Cucurbitaceou8 fruit, such as wa melons and cantaloupes, was plentiful but rather of inferior quality and size. On the whole the season was a poor one for fruit, and the main reason assigned by correspondents was the excessive heat during May, co exist? ing with severe doughty conditions, and after the heat moderated and the drought was relieved, insects dam? aged the remaining fruir, or the rains caused it to rot, so that there was a steady decline in condition from the time fruit blossomed until maturity. J. W. BAUER, Section Director PRIVATEER PERSONALS. PRIVATEER TOWNSHIP, S. C., July 27/95. The Bethel Sunday School pic nie tock nlace Thursday and it was, in every respect, a pleasant success. At half-past eleven that forenoon, the children marched into the church, where the grown people bad already assembled. After they were seated, a hymn was sung and Mr. Matt Ramsey read the 112 psalm, then the Rev. C. M. Billings, of Packs ville, made a prayer, after which another hymn was sung, which in turn was followed by an address from Bethel's new pastor, the Rev. G. T. Gresham; theo another hymn was sung, after which Mr. Billings' made an address, then another hymn, nest prayer by Mr. J. T. Hayes, of Concord Township, after which there was dinner. During these exer? cises Messrs. Matt Ramsey and Whitfield Wells, superintendent and Assistant Superin? tendent, were the mastprs of ceremonies and Miss Susie Bradford presided at the organ. The dinner was like all the pic nie dinners of Privateer-a most bountiful and nice one. The table was oo the church grounds, ano children were served first, then the grown people. A committee was appointed who waited on the crowd and no one was over? looked. After dinner the crowd amused itself in different ways and departed that evening with pleasant memories of the pic nie. We don't suppose it is often that chil? dren enjoy themselves more than they did on this occasion, there were near a hundred out, but there were 9ome absentees. It is safe to say that the crowd numbered between 250 and 300 people, many of whom were visitors. We would like to speak more at length of this delightful occasion, also give a synopsis of the addresses, but lack of space prevents. According to appointment, the Amusement Club met last Friday night at ex-Sheriff John M. Tindal's and the following programme was rendered : Music, Miss Beulah Tindal ; Recitation, Master LeRoy Wells; Recitation, Miss Nena Welte. Several on the programme were unprepared and by request, the follow? ing took part : Recitation. Miss Gertie Epper? son; Muaic, Miss Jimmie Brennan and Miss Kate Furman. The next meeting of the club will be held at Mrs. Henrietta Lynam's on Friday night, Aug. 7. According to appointment, the Rev. G. P. Bostick delivered an address this afternoon at -Bethel Church in regard to Gospel Missions. Mr. Bostick bas been a missionary to China for nearly seven years and his talk this after? noon was an interesting one. He commenced by singing hymns in the Chinese language. He gave an entertaining account of some of th? customs of the country, spoke of the missionary progress which appears to be slow as China is not oniy a vast country, but is deosejy populated, and he clos'd his remarks by speaking in favor of the gospel mission plan. Mr. Gresham will preach at Bethel the forenoons of the second and fourth Sundays, and the young people's meeting has been changed to the afternoons of the first and third Sundays. These meetings are get? ting on well. It is interesting to note how the members of some families scatter. The following is a remarkable instance-the late Mr. J. W. Richardson, who lived in this township, has six living socs, two-Messrs. J. P. and S. D. Richardson, farm in this township ; another son, Mr. F. 0. Richardson, is clerk at the Manning bank ; another son, Mr. A. D. Richardson, is boss of a large shoe factory at Seattle, Washington ; another son. Mr. C. H. Richardson, is book-keeping at Munro, X. C., and the remaining soc. Mr. H. J Rich? ardson, is farming ir. Milan County, Texas. All these brothers were "Privateer boys." Besides these there was another son, Mr. j. S. Richaidsoii. who died in North Carolina. The daughter and son-in-law of the last mentioned. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Babb, o? Lan. i tens, are visiting in the township now.

McD 1 The Speakers at Barnwc Duncan Says, Evans Sa Tillman got Rebates. The speaking at Barnwell on M day was quiet and orderly, and p duced nothing new except a cha by Duncan that Gov Evans had t him that Gov. Tillman had filled pockets with whiskey rebates, 1 following summary of the meeting from the State Special correspoi ent BARNWKI.L, July 27 -When : campaign started out for this histo old town this morning there was end of talk about possible trouble t! would develop during the meeti to day. The eyes of the whole St; were turned towards this meetir There were many reasons why it v thought that it would be stormy a eventful. But contrary to expec tions there was no trouble. The fact i never saw a better natured crowd a campaign meeting or any other kind a meeting than the crowd here to-di Bnt the meeting was sensational many respects and the feeling v? perhaps the most eventful and impt tant o? the whole campaign. At last there is some definite i formation about those buried whi key rebates and the information is a more interesting character than ai: thing that has been brought out in i gard to"thosecommissions." Itw developed to-day that State Liqu Commissioner Mixson had been c fered ?562.50 per carload in rebat by the representative of the M Creek Distilling company, Mr. Hu bell, who was a frequent visitor at tl executive mansion prior to the la campaign ; that it was indignantly r fused ; that though Governor Evai knew of this he shortly afterwan ordered Colonel Mixson to purchai whiskey from the Mill Creek people that Colonel Mixson refused to mal the purchase, and that Govern Evans told Colonel Mixson that "Til man had filled his pockets from th source.'"' Of course this was a revelatic aud the applause with which tl statement was received was ac enif ma to my mind. Colonel Mixsc was on the stand and he sat perfect! quiet denying nothing. Then there was General Earle brief statement, in regard to his poe tion on the stump as a circuit judg j and as a man, made in consequenc of the trouble at Florence. Viever word did Governor Evans utter in re gard to that trouble. He made a fre silver speech and dwelt at some 'engt upon the success of the principles c the Reform movement as they wer set forth in the original Shell man festo. General Earle clearly indica ted that he does not purpose to tak an insult from anyone. In all the speculations as to th trouble that would accompany thi meeting to-day, the Broxton Bridg matter was uppermost It was feare< that the people frota the Broxtoi Bridge section would keep thei threat to come heve for the purpos< of preventing Solicitor Bellinge from speaking, but while many of th( people from that section were around the stand they made no demonstra tion whatever, and Solicitor Bellin ger deliverd a strong, manly speech. It was in contrast to the speech made: by Mr. Carroll Simms, his oppouent j who devoted his attention to a g?nerai j attack upon the - newspapers and on j newspaper editors, notwithstanding I the fact that his illustrious father was one of those men who made his re? putation, fame and living by wield? ing the pen. But such is life. Newbold missed this meeting ; he was not to be seen in Barnwell to? day. Ile would scarcely have had any trouble had he been here. The Broxon Bridge matter and Mr. Duncan's speech gave much spirit ! and snap to the meeting, and at one j time it looked as if Solictor Bellin? ger and Mr. Simms were 2:oin?r to ? have a lively passage at arms. As at : Waherboro, Mr. Bellinger displayed I that great coolness which is so eljar ? acteristic of him. ! Another feature of the meeting: : was the very welcome desertion by Generals Watts and Kichbor.ro; of the mud slinging style of campaign they have been indulging in. General Watts was tho first speaker, and he sot tho paco for the tone of the day. lie took high ground, and an? nounced his intention o?' induisring: in no more mud slinging. He did himself and his cause good by the I tone o? his speech, as did also Gen? eral Richbourg. General Earle's I speech on the financial question was I a particularly fine presentation of the j cause of free silver, lie made a ! good impression in Barnwell, and so did Mr. Duncan -very much better than any one thought possible Gov? ernor EvanB was picked up at Den? mark this morning, and General Earle. Congressman Talbert, Messrs Harrison, Whitman and others joined ! the party at Blackville. Tlie meeting to day was held on the public square, in front of the country court house, on the same stand where preceding meetitigs have been held. It was an insufferably hot day, and the spreading boughs of the oaks on the square failed utterly to break the farce of the intense rays of the sun There were fully 500 men around the stand and ladies were to be seen at some little distance. The crowd was good-natured, quiet and orderly, and by its excellent be? havior reflected much credit on the couuty. Solicitor Bellinger, the county chairman, and bis committee, had everything arranged for the com? fort of the party, and the meeting was well managed. When the meet? ing had ouce started there was unin? terrupted speaking, and the press representatives had all they wanted and more, too. Tillman Upholds Evans. Earle and Duncan May as Well Quit the Race. BEXNJBTTSVILLE, S. C., July 22. The campaign meeting at this place was of a kind with those held recent? ly. Earle and Evans enlivened mat? ters a little by the rather warm pas? sage of words, but the people are becoming accustomed to wann talk on the stump, which they have learn? ed to know is all for effect and after all meaus nothing. Tc hear Earle and Evans talk to each other one would naturally expect them to be at each other's throats in a short time. But it is all buncombe. None of the speeches were of par? ticular interest, arid the only new feature was the reading of a letter ! from Senator T;,lman by Governor j Evans. The ? ^r read was a copy of the one written to Mr. Duncan by Gov. Tillman, and, as will be seen, it upholds Evans and gives Mr. Dun? can very cold comfort. Gov. Evans appeared to be highly delighted while reading the letter and is more confident of election than ever. The letter is as follows : TRENTON, S. C., July 20, 1S96. To Hon. Jno. T. Duncan, Columbia, S..C. My Dear Sir : Your letter of July 5th, addressed to me at Chicago, reached me in the midst of the burly burly attending the national conven? tion, and, of course, there was neither time nor inclination to an? swer it. I reached home on the 14th, but had not recovered from the fatigue and excitement before the shocking tragedy occurred which snatched j from me my first born I mention I these things by way of explanation ! of the delay in replying to your let? ter. Frankly, 1 must say that I am sorry you wrote any letter, for as 1 am dragged reluctantly into this mat? ter, I must speak with my usual bluntness. I have always regarded you as my personal and political friend and as a good and true Re? former ; and for personal reasons I would be glad to help you in any way. You have a perfect right to aspire to any office in the gift of the people and to use all honest and hon? orable efforts to secure votes. I must say, however, that you had no right to make use of the private con? versation which you had with me in a manner calculated to deceive the public. There was nothing in the nature of a consultation about it. You did net breathe a word, or inti? mate even your purpose of becoming a candidate, and the tev^v of our en? tire talk was. as you know, one of malignant criticism on your part of Governor Evans, while I defended him or asked for proofs of your ac? cusations. I did tell you that I expected to take no part in the election of Sena tor because I believed the people of South Carolina to be competent to judge for themselves, and that I have no right in any wise to attempt to direct or dictate their decision. You did me a wrong, when, as you are reported to have said in one of your recent speeches, you claimed I could "make whom I pleased sena i tor." It is an accusation of ''boss ism" which the people must resent and which you yourself must feel to be untrue. If you were not in the heat of battle in which self-love and vanity are calculated to blind you, i you would see what is apparent to j ! every unbiased and calm mind, that j j you are unjust to Governor Evans, ! i and have jumped to conclusions that j are unwarranted How can Governor Evans, working for or accepting a lee iiom Rhiud for j legal services rendered before and I after thc contract with the syndicate j was signed, be distorted into "Jis honesty V Rhind received a com mission for his services to the syndi j cato ; Governor Evans is to receive a fee for his services to Rhind. I ! did not know the nature of the agreement between them, because it j did not concern me. But I did know that Evans was actinias Rnind's attorney, for I cor?1 'tfjm help but! know it, when he acted as counsel in ? both the friendly suits brought be fore the supreme court, in connection ! with the bond issue. Iiis connec- | tion with the case is a matter of re- : cord. What I stated at Walterboro j was true then and is true still. Gov? ernor Evans had nothing to do with j the making of the contract or the , signing of it. That was the work of: Dr. Bates and myself. Khind organ- j ized the syndicate with the assistance : of Lancaster and Williams, and they ; agreed to pay him a certain commis-: sion. Dr. Bates and I, responsible j instruments in the transaction, were '? in constant dread that the deal would ! fall through and the State debt not be j refunded, as one obstacle after an? other presented itself. The judges of the supreme court lent every assis? tance in their power by speedily deteimining the questions of law pre- j sented to them Every department of the State government was willing and anxious to lend aid towards re? funding the debt. Governor Evans had nothing to do with the transaction except in I his capacity as attorney for the broker, whose commission was at stake if the deal failed. If you were not blinded by pre? judice and passion you would be bound to acknowledge what every lawyer in the State would assert and sustain-that his being a State sena? tor could in no wise make it dishon? orable or dishonest to pratice his pro? fession under the circumstances pre? sented in this case. If you will re? member, my last words to you that night when we had our converaticn at Mr. Bunch's, were : "Take care that envy is not at the bottom of this, and that the people in the State House do not accomplsh the over? throw of the Reform movement, if you keep on fighting one another in this way/' and now I repeat the warning. If I saw anything in Governor Evans' conduct to condemn, I would not hesitate, but believing, as I do. that he has been guilty of no official misconduct, I cannot lend any help to drag him down or allow any one else to use me as the instrument of his undoing. Yours truly, B. R Tillman. P. S.-Governor Evans has writ? ten me asking an explanation of your charges, etc , in connection with our conversation, and I have sent him a copy of this letter as an act of justice to him and to you.

The Southern Must Withdraw or the Fight Goes On. ATLANTA, July 23.-A commitine from the legislative board of the South? ern Freight association bad a confer? ence to-day with Vice Presiden'. St. John of the Seaboard Air Line in refereoce to the cut rates which that liue had put in force from Baltimore to the south. Mr. St. John stated that he would be pleased to hear any state? ment which the committee had to pre? sent, but that he would ask the privi? lege of making his reply in writing j later in the day, so the committee did all the talki?g. "It was composed of President Thomas of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. L3uis, President George C. Smith of the Atlanta and West Point, Traffic Manager W. L. Guiladeau of the Old Dominion Steam? ship company, Traffic Manager Whit? ney of the Merchants and Miners Steamship company and General Manager Scott of the Georgia railroad. They asked Mr. St. John to with? draw his cut rates, which threaten gen? eral demoralization and vast loss of revenue to all lines in the south. In his written reply, which was handed to | to Chairman Thomas this afternoon, Mr St. John recites what he declares 1 to be the efforts of the Southern rail? way to crush the Seaboard, with the view to defeating competition. He concludes by asking : "Shall it be j the withdrawal of the Southern's new j line of steamers between Baltimore j and Norfolk and the making of satis factory through car arrangements, easily to be accomplished and the sav- j ing of the revenue thereby to tbs ! Southern and other lines, or shall it be j the disruption of all rates through thousands of miles territory and the j consequent loss to it of millions of re venue, with a more speedy necessity for the reorganizion of its (the. Southern) system? The problem isl theirs to solve, not ours. We do not fear either the problem or the South- j ern. Our cause is just, and sooner or | later the right will prevail."
