WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18,1897. The Sumter Watchman was rounded ia 1850 and the True Southron in 1866. The Watchman and Southron DOW has he combined circulation and influence of both of the old papera, and is mani? festly the best advertising medium io Barnier. * The retirement of Mr. Mayfield from the Senatorial race does not as far as ve can judge, benefit materially any ose of the other candidates. The small vote that Mr. Mayfield would have re? ceived will be divided between McLau? rin, Evana and Irby, while Do?ean may receive a few. Attention is invited to the communi? cation of "Jarora" io this issue. The points are well taken and the writer has done the county a real service is bring? ing the matter to public attention at a time when the defects in the construc? tion of the ju*y rooms can be remedied The jury rooms should be well venti? lated and comfortable ; it is not intend- j ed that those who are required to serve j on the petit jury should be confined in j a sweat box and forced to endure need- j jess discomforts. The original package nosiness is go? ing merrily forward and the dispensary ia beginning to feel the stress of active competition. The days of the dispen? sary, as a state monopoly, are number? ed, nod a high lioense system, hedged aboct by the restrictions required bj the Constitution of 1895, is almost in sight. It is not to be imagined for a moment that the people of the State will consent to the permanent establish? ment o? a retail liquor business that pays no Hceose to State, county or city, ?nd tito, only wa j to tax the original package concerns is to have recourse to a general nigh license law. A special to The News mud Conner from Gheraw announces the death of Dr. Cornelius Kolloek, one of the most eminent physicians in the State and an authority on abdominal surgery. He was born tn Cberaw in 1824; graduat? ed at Brown university, and' in med? icine at tho University of Pennsyl? vania ; studied io Paris nader, Velpeau and others; married Miss Mary Henri? etta Shaw of Boston. Senator McLiurio's condition, while not considered serious by bis physician, canses his friends great uneasiness The severe physicist and mental strain he has undergone would have taxed the most hardened constitution, and Mr. McLaurin was not well when he enter? ed the campaign. It is boped aod be? lieved that a week of rest and quiet will restore him to health and strength He is most assuredly the choice of a majority of th? people of the State and be ill be elected over all of bis oppo? nents in the first primary if those who favor his election wilt but turn out on e?ectio'n day and roll up tbe votes. Over confidence and indifference may defeat McLaurin, -, no tb i og else can. Every voter in Sumter county should see that his name is on a club roll and ^bould let nothing prevent him from casting his vote for the candidate of bis choice Tbe State Fair. Tbe premium list for tbe approach? ing State Fair, 8 copy of which has been received, shows quite an in? crease over tbe preceding year. ID addition to the premiums offered by the society, the citizens of Columbia have supplemented the list, by donat? ing special premiums iu the varions departments, aggregating hundreds of dollars From present indications, the exhibits will far exceed those of last year, and a corresponding in? crease of the number of visitors is assured. Ample accommodations will be provided for the entertain? ment of all who attend the fair. Squire McBeeDead. Squire Alexander MeBee, of G reen viii county, died at his home near the oity of Greenville on Friday afternoon of apoplexy. The decreased was born 75 years ago in Linooloton, N. C., being the son of Mr. and Mrs. Vardry MoBee, of that town. Ile came to Greenville when he was about 17 years old, and resided in that city till about ten years ago, when be removed to his place in the suburbs. His father owned 10,000 acres of land io Greenville county and the tract included almost ail of whac now con? stitutes the city of Greenville. Most of tb? estate went to tbe deceased, [ bot be was possessed of little at the 1 time of bia death, bavicg from time to time doled it oat among his children and kiospeople. Oat of this land the tract on which the Greenville Female college and Forman University build? ings DOW staad, were given td found these schools, which are among the leading institutes of learning io the State. Senator McLaurfti's Condition Seems Serious. The State last night received the following dispatches as to Senator McLaunVs condition : f Senator McLaurin's condition has been one of great physical prostfW tion attended by symptoms of cere? bral trouble of the gravest nature. I have bad to insist, therefore, upon absolute quiet as essent' al to his re? covery. Under tbe most favorable circumstances a week at least must elapse before it will be prudent for him to leave bis room. "J. T. JENNINGS, M. D." "Senator McLaurin not doing so well to-day. G. M. CRCSLAND, "Private Secretary." Further information from Senator McLacrin's borne is to the effect that he is getting along very nicely and hopes soon to be himself again His physician'will hardly allow bim to go upon tbe stump again during the present week, bnt all bis friends here? abouts expect to see bim attend all the meetings of the last week of the campaign. They are no longer uneasy about him, though they fes.r the consequences of any unusual strain upon bim before bis health bas been restored. feather Crop Bulletin. Drought Continues in South? ern Portion of Texas. Washington, August 17.-The weekly crop bulletin of the agricul? tural department to day says : Drought continues in portions of Missouri,, Tennessee and southern Texas, and the need of rain is begin? ning to be felt in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa 'and portions of Virginia and North Carolina. Tbere bas been too much rain in New England, and local storms have caused some damage to crops in the Virginias The condi? tions have been generally favorable to crops in the southern States, Ok? lahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota. Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and in the middle Atlantic States On the northern Pacific coast, the week although warm, has been fav ' orable for harvesting In the prin? cipal corn States. of the central val ! leys the weather conditions of the week have not been wholly favorable, being too cool, ai d over a large area too dry. Good rains have, however, improved the crop in Kansas and Nebraska The week has been gen I eraliy favorable to cottoc. except in ! North Carolina and portions of South i Carolina, Missouri and southern Tex? as, where it suffered from drought Generous rains over the greater part of the cotton belt have arrested pre mature opening and shedding Spring harvest is about finished in South Dakota and southern Minne j sota, and in^progress in the northern part of the latter State and in North Dakota. Heavy rains have delayed harvesting in North Dakota and caused injury to the over-ripe grain. In South Dakota, some fields in which the stand was thin, have been ruined by weeds Spring wheat is also being harvested under favorable conditions in Oregon and Washing? ton. Tobacco cutting is general in the more northerly tobacco States and is nearing completion in the Carolinas. Reports from Maryland and Penn i sylvania are favorable In portions j of Virginia local storms have caused J much injury to the tobacco. Montgomery, Ala., Aug 16-The i board of health have made a signed i statement in which they say: "Tbe j first case of smallpox was discovered ! July 28. Since that time there have ! been 35 cases moved to the hospital ?. and 72 to the house of detention. In <; nine days but three cases bave been dis I covered. There has not been a death ; from the disease, neither bss there been a white person attacked. About 25 persons have been vaccinated. The authorities feel confident that they have the disease ander control." Weekly Crop Balletin. COLUMBIA, S. C , August 17, 1897, TEMPERATURE. The temperature daring tbe past week, kept within comparatively nar? row range, the maximum generally ranged between 87 and 94 with an ex? treme maximum of 10*2 oo the 12th at Beaufort. The minimum ranged about 70 although be lowest was 52 on tbe 10th at Liberty. The average for the week was 78 while the normal for the same period is approximately 79. It was decidedly cooler over the extreme western portion or the State, than in tbe central aud eastern portions. RAINFALL. The rainfall for the week was gen? erally in the form of showers where any fell, for quite largo areas in the oentrai and the southern counties were without rain the entire week, or at least until late Sat irday, the 14th. A few correspondents stated that rain was needed v bile generally the ground had plenty of moisture. In addition to the showers of Saturday and Sunday afternoon, (14th and 15th) a general rain set in ? rly Monday morning so that the rai a fall deficiency, where it existed, has been fully supplied. A few reports of excessive rain were received. Twenty-two weekly meas? urements of jess than one inch were re? ceived, 5 of from 1 to 2 inches, and 2 of over 2 inches. The average of these 30 measurements is 0 79 while the nor? mal for the p? 8t week is about 1 50. A severe hail and wind storm occur? red in lower Hampton on the evening of the 14th, accompanied by heavy rain, and injuring field crops seriously over a limited area. The winds of the* week were gener? ally light. The sunshine varied greatly over different sections, the estimated per? centage of thu possible ranged from 20 to 90 with an average of 60 wbiob is somewhat below a normal amount for this season. Thistdeficiency in sun? shine was apparently favorable on field corps. CROPS. There is a great diversity in the Cone of the reports for the week, the corres? pondents being about equally divided in calling tbe week a favorable or an unfavorable one As a general .rule the best reports come from the western portions of the State where ?H places "the crops are magnificent." Worms have appeared io many of the eastern counties in large numbers, and from meagre discriptions furnished, it is supposed to be Army worms. They have destroyed much grass, for hty in Williamsburg, Kershaw, Berkeley, Coileton and Beaufort counties and in places have attacked/ corn, rice and cotton. Their increase in numbers curing tbe week was alarmingly rapid. They have also made their appearance io a number of other counties but as yet in no threatening force. Corn varies io conditioo with locality and soil and toe culture it received,'but that portion of the crop already made is very nearly if not quite up to an average. Late corn is still very prom* isiog and will be greatly improved by tbe recent rains. Fodder pulling is making rapid progress over the eastern counties where it is nearing completion, and extending gradually westward where tbe crop is muoh later this year than usual. Chinch bugs continue to damage oom in Chester. Fodder was saved in good condition. Cotton was Dot uniformly affected by the last week' i weather ; many reports indicate a seasonable improvement, and fully as many note deterioration, due chiefly to excessive shedding of squares and some bolls, some rotting of bolls, while on sandy lands the plant is rapid? ly dung and uonsequently has quit put? ting on fruit. Rust also has developed over large arcas with greatest injury noted in Somier, Williamsburg, Clar? endon, and Chester, although not con? fined to those counties. The crop is best io the western counties, and Marl? boro, Marion, and the northeastern counties generally. Too much "weed" with too little fruit is a common complaint, but cotton generally is heavily fruited. Picking is as yet confined to the more j easterly counties, although the early varieties are opening io the central and western counties. Picking will not be ; general for some time to come. An in- ! crease in size of bolls noted since rains of previous week. Au insect is puncturing tho bolls and ruining them : in Kdgtfield. More or less shedding is reported from a majority of ?ho coun? ties Sea-Island ootton improved and shed? ding iee? (ban last week. \ Tobacco curing making rapid pro? gress. Some planters have finished. Worms damaging late plants. Peas are doing well. Cutting pea vine hay has begun ia Baruweli. Rice is ripeniog rapidly and where not injured by caterpillars is ic promis? ing condition. Turnip sowing continues and better stands have been attaiocd from the later seedings. A large acreage will be planted. Sorghum grinding aod boiling has begun in some sections Sweet potatoes doing well generally, except in portions of Spartanburg, and will be a large crop. Scuppernoog grapes ripeuiog. Figs are plentiful. Melons abundant and of good quality ic tbe western coun? ties. Le Conte pear trees full of fine fruit io Chesterfield. Pastures afford excellent grazing. In the garden-truck districts ground is being prepared for fall vegetables. J. W. BAUER, Section Director. THE COURT HOUSE IMPROVE % MENTS. A Mistake that Should ba Cor? rected Now. SUMTER, S C , A a g. 17, 1897. To The Watchman and Sonthron: The work on the court house seems to be progressing very nicely, but it also seems to your corre? spondent that a serious mistake has been made in not putting back windows io the petit jury rooms. The old ones were none too comfortable, but the present ones, with botone window each, will be simply unbear? able at summer term of court, and will be provocative of ill-considered, hasty verdicts. The whole county is interested-oo one can tell bow deeply-in baviog these windows pot io, and it should be done cow while the work ia going on. No officers of ?be conn sbocld be more comfortably arranged for than tbe juries, for, while lawyers nj?y quib? ble and judges charge aod no damage be done, tbe civilization of the country rests upon well considered law a*d facts by tbe juries, and to get this their t boo gb ts moat not be taken np with, and distracted by, tbe diacomforrs of their tooms, nod especially tbe discomforts of beat or cold. Only those comforts which are absolute necessities should be furnished, bat those should be insisted upon bj tbe people and ' by those especially liable to be JURORS.

The farmers' institute which was held Sat? urday io the Ducker & Boltmao was attended by a large namber of representative farmer* from all sections of the coonty. Tbe attendance would bave been much larger had not the time for advertising tbe event been so short Tbe meeting was presided over by Mr.J M. Knight, who introduced President Craigbead, who made a few appropriate introductory re? marks and presented Prof. F. S. Shiver, as? sistant chemist of Clemson College. Prof. Shiver spoke interestingly on fertilizers, giv? ing tbe history, need of fertilization, and dis? cussed nitrogeo, phosphoric acid and potash as to their availability and different forms and adaptability for different crops. Tbe purchase of fertilizers wa9 also dis? cussed and helpful bints given. The method of carrying ont the fertilizer law at Clemson was explained. President Craighead then spok" eloquently of tb?s agricultural problem of lb? couotr>, whicb, he declared, was the greatest prob? lem before the American people. The neces? sity of education for the farmer was strongly insisted upon. Be paid a fine tribute to the farmer, and spoke of Washington as the ideal farmer whicb this country bas pro? duced, and said that upon the solution of the agricultural problem ?be weal or woe of a republic depends, lt WHS true that the farm? er of to-d&y w>is better a,ff than ever before io the world's history. He has twice as much aa be baa ever had, but bis wants are ten times greater. In answer to questions Prof Craigbead said that there bad been no disposition on tue part of the faculty of Clemson to make it a literary college; that theonly distinctive? ly literary studies were English and history. He was asked about the recent fever epi? demic and said tbat be did not know wheth? er it was typhoid or malarial fever; that the doctors disagreed as to this, but that the trustees were doing eveytbiog to prevent anything oi* tbe kind happening again. In closing bia address, President Craigbead said thia was probably bia last speech in South Carolina ; (bat be left the State with great reluctance. He would always, be said, feel a great interest in the people of the State and especially in Clemson college, At tbe afternoon session Prof W. M. Con? nor, assistant professor of agriculture, spoke oo farm dairying, makieg the subject plain to bis interested auditors. He gave the points of a good cow, feed that should be given ; how to care for the milk aud butter, etc. The institute was bigly commended by tbe farmers wbo attended and it is boped tbat in? stitutes may be held annually in future. Friday afternoon the deputy sheriff of Darlington county pHsefd through this city haviDg in his custody a neero named John Wright, who is wanted in Darlington for the killing of a white mau named Clarence Bird iu that county a fortnight ego. After the homicide the negro fled and made his escape to Monroe, N. C. The officers in every di? rection were put on the lookout for Wright ; and he was captured soon after he got settled \ at Monroe. Take JOHNSON'S CHILL ?

Oh that big, round, fat, luscious watermelon, which will almost rive at the slightest pre? sentation cf a knife! is it any wooder that we who have experienced different conditions and circumstances of life, should sigh for the "flesh pots of Egypt," or for one of those itinerant nuisances which bas by accident gotten loose from a Kansas or Idaho reserva? tion, and, losing its t>eariog, comes sweeping down on a fellow when least wanted ; I mean one of those northers, or a souther ob north ern principles. Is it any wonder, I say. that we sigh in contrasting this tarsus, this sered landscape with scarcely any vegetation alive save cotton ar d the dwarfed mesqnit trees wbicb, parsimoniously scattered here and there over the land, resembles an old Sooth Carolina peach orchard.
