?tires for the second decade of July,
with minimum temperatures ranging
from 56 to 60 degrees on the morn?
ings, of the 12th and 13th over a large

CR^P CONDITION
Over a larg* p3riioo of tbs state,
crop ooodiaons made marked ioprove

and the prenons Week, and the
generally favorable temperature.

reports for the week wete received '
Crops were ii jared to s ?me extern

Son counties, and by too mach water
on poorly drained bottoms io Bim berg,
Hamptoo aod Oraogeburg ooao?et?,
while io Kershaw, York and to a less
extent in other counties, some of the
smaller streams overflowed their banks,
doing alight damage.
Field work waa practically suspend?

of the soil, to some counties, bat else?
where ayiug by mad9 rapid progress
and is nearly finished.
While some fislds of corn aro grassy,
and are laid by io that coadttioa, aud
'others wero too nearly rips to be much
beneficed by the reoent favorable weath?
er, the orop as a whole is now fairly
promising, and in some counties ts an
extra toe one.
Upland coro has generally improved
dariag tbs week, but bottoms were too
wet, aod corn 00 many euch lands is
raming yellow and is, io places, "fir

I Fodder stripping has began tn a

Cotton made rapid growth daring
the week, and put on -'weed" very
fast. It is reported growing too muoh
co weed in placas and not fruiting pro
nortionately. As a rale, the plants are
well fruited, although recently shed?
ding too freely. Many reports \were
received, noting injury from an excess
of rain. This is more particularly
i true on sandy soils, where, also, rust
has developed to a cocsiderable extent.
For nearly two weeks the ground has
been too wet to plough or hoe and over
the entire State fields are beooming
grassy, to the injury of tbe crop, as it
will require cultivation deep enough to
injure the roots of cotton, to remove
the grass.
In Barnwell county, on fields recent?
ly infested with lice, plants are dying
to some extent. Sea Island oottcn con?
tinues to make rapid, and seasonable
development.
Tobacco ouricg is now general and
will be pushed as soon as the weather
becomes more favorable for this work ;
all except a few of the reports on to?
bacco oontinue to indicate a fine crop,
both as to quality and siza.
Bice made rapid growth during the
week, and both upland and marsh rice
were greatly benefitted by tbe copious
rainfall over the rice distriots. The
rivers are now "fresh" along the rice
fields, where but recently they were
brackish, and water in abundance is
available for flooding tbe fieids.
Sweet potato slips have all been set
and are making rapid growth.
Cane of various kinda, peanuts,
chufas, and like crops are in excellent
growing condition
Field peas are coming up to ex?
cellent stands and doing well every?
where.
Melons are beooming quite plentiful
and heavy shipments are being made
Apples are reported in poer condi
doo ; many are wormy, and excessive
dropping is reported from ail sections.
While grapes are reported plentiful,
there is much complaint of rotting.
Peaches are quite plentiful and of
excellent quality
Pastures have made rapid growth
and afford rank grszing
Tomatcc? are scarce in some locali?
ties. Some fall turnips have been
sown.

Editors Item, Herald and Freeman:
j It seems tb*t the papers of oor town would
i hare it appear that the commissioned officers
of tbe Sumter Company desired to act with?
out au?bority ia the distribution of tbe
money sent the officers for the men, some
days ago We thought our first communica?
tion was plain enough bat it seems that there
are some who do not care to understand.
We quote from tbe official letter of the com?
mittee, 88 follows : We thought it perhaps
would be better to ba e the officers expend the
fund, believing that more good could be ac?
complished in that way. For this reason tee
authorized telegram to you to me your discre?
tion in tne matter. We are very sorry t?jat
the plans proposed by tbe officers were not
approved by th J men and oar efforts and
yours apparently unappreciated "
In the letter to Sergr. Miller, we quote as
folioW3 : We hope that yiu understand that
the commissioned officers acted with au?
thority from us by telegram to use t e
money as Hey thought best for the interest
of the men, but as the men of ye or com?
pany did oot seem to approve of the plan
suggested by the officers, we deem it best that
it be distributed as originally intended "
We bops the above is plain enough to any?
one. We apologize to the committee for hav?
ing occasion to quote portions of their official
communications to the con missioned officers
and to Sergr. Miller We bojp that tbost
who think we magnified ourselves officially,
etc., sro bot few. We feel assured that the
good people of Sumter knosv and believe that
we acted with authority, and for the best in?
terest of oar men.
There are mauy situations that we, who are
on tbe spot, can judge of bettei ;ban /.bose
who are far away and know nothing of ibe
conditions and requirements of the soldier.

P. S.-Herald and Feeiran will please copy.
P. S -This is in answer to Mr. Knight's
question.
P. S -The "non commissioned officer"
referred to by The Item, says tb at The Item
did not publish bis letter ou the subject, oui
published only a part of it.
Elitorial in The Daiiy Item.
The foregoing communication from
the officers of the Sumter Light
Infantry is self-explanatory If they
bad taken the trouble to state facts
at the outset and had thus given j
those who criticised their action a fair
opportunity to form their own opin?
ion cf the circumstances, there would,
perhaps, have been less criticism.
From the showing now made by
the officers they were empowered by
the committee to use their own dis?
cretion in d stribun'ng the money,but
this was not our understanding of the
matter from the most trustworthy in?
formation obtainable here and from
the men in camp who refused to
agree to the distribution proposed
by the officers. It was stated to us
that the committee's letter that ac
companied the check distinctly and
explicitly stated that the money
should be distributed pro rata among
the men ; that the telegram authoriz?
ing the officers to make tuen di6tri
but ion as they should deem best was
an aft er-thought, suggested by one
of the officers ; that the said telegram
was not signed by the comr ittee,
bul by a gentlemen who was not
known by the privates and non com
missioned officers to have had any
voice in the disposition of the money,
that the officers, when asked by the
men if the telegram was not in re
sporjue tu a letter from the officers
suggesting that they be given this
authority, refused to give a satisfac
tory answer, or at least one of them
did !t was this information, deriv
ed from several trustworthy sources,
that ^ave rise to our criticism We
may have been misinformed, but the
preponderence of evidence thus far
adduced appeais to substantiate this
information
The letters from which the officers
quote hhow on their face that they
were written after and not before the
privates and non commissioned offi
ce^s of the company protested against
the action of the commissioned offi?
cers. What was written by the com
mitte? subsequent to the refusal of
the men to agree to the officers' dis
tributiou of the money is uot in issue
and never has been. Bad Captain
Carson read the letter, which he
quotes with such evident self congrat
uiation, to the men at the time he
j outlined his plan of dietributiug the
j moory, we are satisfied the raen of
bis company would have cheerfully
acquiesced without a bingle word of
objection But this letter was not
even written at that time, while the
letter that was read to them stated,
so we ar*? informed, that tte money
should be distributed pro rata.
Therefore the objections that were
made to the plan proposed by the
officers
It would have been more to
j the point had the officers quoted
from the original letter from the
commU'ec auU oot from au oxplaoatory
I c : 11* r of a subsequent date, for it was
tho original letter Mat gav<- ri>c to the \
eo'ire uiir<unders:aud:ug. if chere was
any tuit-uoderstauding, and ^hatever of
unpleasantness that has resulted there?
from It is scarcely piobablj that all
of the members of tbe company could
! have imagined real the original letter
j sta'ed that the m ?ney i-hould be dia
i tributed pro rata among the meo, when
! io fact it did not so state, aod the fail

A Private's Standpoint as to th9 j
Money Distribution.
* - j
Camp George H Thomas,
Cbickaniflug * Park,
Lytle, Ga , Juiy 13, 1838 j
To tbe Editor of The Item :
j Dear Sir : As much bas been written in
tbe Sumter papers concerning the money so
generously sent us by the Sumter people and
; HS we are noxious nut to bs misunderstood by
our townspeople as haviog shown an uo
grateful spirit towards them, or an improper
one to our officers I write this communica
t'on, which. I hope, will clearly show wh;re- I
io all oor dissatisfaction lay ; that it was not j
on accoo u of th# distribution of this money I
being left to our efficers ; or at tbe plan of j
distribution proposed by tbeu-the "twenty- j
cent" judgment plan ts the Heraid calls it !
Thees are minor considerations. The point ;
was one of principle with us, and not one of
per cents, core or le*s
I The cause of dissatisfaction with us was
simply this : The manner in which that tele?
gram teas obtained Was it honorable, or
bighly blameabls ? Let tte facts answer, and
let the innocent go free, and the guilty sboul- j
der the consequences.
Now for the facts. Three or four dais oa
fore receiving'he check, we hid heard thu
the people of t*umter, wisbinir t,o show ns |
tbe;r appreciation and thoughtfulness, were \
getting up this money for us, and also that it j
was to be pro rited among ns. There were j
joy and pride in our hearts, and grateful '
smiles on all faces.
Soute, in the course of our talk over ibis
matter, at that time ezoressed themselves aa
bitterly opposed to its being pro rated, and
there was some pretty bot discussion abuut
it. Thus the matter rested until the* check |
letter and telegram came. With breathless
attention did every man present listen to the J
reading nfjthat subscription heading to the ac?
companying letter, and at last t > tbe telegram, \
which, oy tbe way, w?s directed to one of !
the lieutenants. The subscription binding j
and the letter from the committee both show
ed that the intention of the contributors and
or the comimttee, at the time of the sending
of tb? mon?f, was, tbat it should be pro
rated
Now the question that caturallv forced it- i
self upon our iuds was this: Why haJ |
that coan ittee (or be who sent the telegram) I
even after the money bad been forwarded, j
seen ot to chance the por^e expressed in !
the letter and subscription beac tog, and j
deemed i so necessary as to go to the tx j
perse of telegrspbi g that change of int n- !
Mon? Connecting this with what had gone !
berore, we were forced into the belief tbat
here was something "rotten in Denmark,"
and that this telegraui had been sent tn
aoswer to a request trox some one here, who
did not wish tbe money to be pro rated-the
wishes of the majority.
We honesty believed that the contritte?
(or those who acted in the place of the com?
mittee) would never have changed their orig?
inal inteotjoQ and .-eut ?hat te.ejram here,
bad they not been it Silenced in tbe above
way, which we considered ungentlemanly,
unfair and underhanded Now tb'S is our
diss?lisfuctiou-to?t some one or several in
this company, in order to carry bis cr their I
point against <>ur wishes-the wishes o? the !
a,*jority-desc.ndei to SUCT ?rtckery, but j
even tben bad we relieved there were suffi
Clent :ea9uns why the aoeeysbo-ld not have ;
been pro rated, we would have kept silent, j
and taken quietly the distribution proposed.
When the company was called together the j
second time, o e from our ranks was appoint
ed to ask tbe commissioned officers the lui
lowing question :
"Do you know whether this telegram was j
sent in response to any communication from .'
any member of this company ? '
The question was uot answered to our sat?
isfaction, and stace then we r?av? received j
proof tbnt soma sucb communication wbs j
sent.
N?*w this ia all I have to say io the milter,
and it is from a primate's standpoint If our j
officers had j'j9' groun.is to ;:>mk tbat tele?
gram was good aut hori'j . and was s. nt vol- j
uotariiy ou the nart of tba sander, ai rt that ]

WHY MR. BR?NSON
WITHDREW.
To the Eiitor nf The New* aod
Courier : As'he quanti.>n. 'Why did
you withdraw (rom the ?he race for
Governor V is constantly being askt-d
me by friends all over the Sfate, I will
uppreca:e your kindness in giving we j
space for a brief ietter io explanation, j
The Prohibitionists of the State, be- j
lieving they were acting strictly io bar- j
mony with D^mocractic roles, made
t.^eir nomination* on the 14 h of April
and ? accepted the nomination when
made. The State Democratic execti
five committee rntrt Maj 18. and while
it did not declare the Prohibitionists !
octa?de of party rul-s, if did make the
dispensary a plank in tbs Democratic
platform. June 8 I filed my pledge as
a candidate for tbs regular Democratic
nomination, understanding it to mean
ittst what it. say* : "I am net nor will
oeoome the candidate of aoy faction * 1
* * other thao the regular Demo?
cratic nomination "
A few days after the Prohibition
executive committee, construing the ac?
tion of the State Democratic rxecutive
committee to mean that vote? cast for !
the Prohibition nominees would not be I
counted, withdrew the nomioatioos io j
order "'to act io entire accord with the j
ra'es of the Democratic party "
This interpretation of the rules, !
and virtual admission that the Pro |
hibitionists were acting contrary to I
Democratic rules, left me where I
could not become an "individual"
candidate ; for, if it was necessary
to withdraw the nominations because
the Prohibitionists were a faction,
then the mordent I should become
the candidate of the Prohibitionists I
would violate my pledge, as it says :
"I am not nor will become the can
didate,1' etc.
lt was my purpose to make an hon?
est, manly struggle for the Demo
eratic nomination and did not under?
stand the pledge to prevent this, but
the construction put upon the pledge
by both the State Democratic and
Prohibition committees would ex
elude a candidate if piaced in nomi?
nation even by "many citizens "
is it not true that this primary sys?
tem has outlived its usefulness ?
There is a very small negro v?te
(about 12,000, 1 believe,) in the
State, and it could not be used to the
injury of the white people to any
great extent h would be extremely
difficult to so organize it as to make
it a balance of powe: ; besides, the j
candidate seeking negro votes would
be apt to lose his white support
Upon the other hand, when we
now hold a county convention, many
of the clubs hold no meeting for the
election of delegates, but certain men
go without election to represent (?)
the club In the county convention,
fairness and right give place lo polit
icai inclination and wrong ; the dele
gailes to the Mate Convention are
read from a list previously agreed
upon and the list adopted as a whole
The State Convention proceeds in
about the same way The questions
of what is righi or best for the peo?
ple carry not half so much weight as
how snail we keep the voters at our
heels and secure office again ?
The platform of the Democratic
party of the State is intended now to
bind its members to a support of the
dispensary system of selling liquor ;
the candidate pledge can be 60 con
strued as u> count out one opposed to
the dispensary, and the pledge taken
by the voters in the primary binds
the voter to cast his ballot in the g?n?
erai election for, perhaps, an un
worthy man
To hold a fair election in the pi :
mary where club lists are ever chang?
ing and managers of election are ap
poiuted all favoring one side, is not to
be expected I frankly admit that
the dangers arising from unfairness1
ar;d corruption in 'the primary are
greater than the dangers arising from
; the present small nego vote.
, If we have reach*d the place where
the Democrats of the State who op
I pose the dispensary cannot name a
j candidate for the regular Democratic
j nomination, while the Democrats who
favor the dispensary are nllowed to
put the dispensary as a plank in the
Democratic platform, then we have
reached the point where we should
abandon the primary and organize a
Democtalic Prohibition faction and a
Democratic-Di-prnsary faction and
nettie our differences at the general
election.
