Tb week ending May 15th aver
aged snoot degrees per day warmer
than usual, with the maximum tem
peratures ranging from slightly
below to considerably above 90
degrees each day, and with tba
minimums correspondingly high.
The rainfall for the week was gen
erally very light with moderately
heavy rains in the vineinity of
Charleston and over Fee Dee region.
The seed cf rain is g n ral, and the
lack of it has materially injured oats,
and to a leaser extent wheat and
gardens. Bain Is also needed to
permit cotton and corn planting tobe
completed, and to germinate recently
planted seeds
Oafs are niling rapidly, and spring
oats are already a failure. This
grain is about all headed, and over
the more easterly counties is ripen
ing. Wheat has also deteriorted,
bat not to the same extent as oats,
and in places continues very promis
iog.
Corn continues to maintain a
healthy color, and, with limited ex
ceptions, bas a good stand ; its gen
era! condition, for the whole State, is
very satisfactory. In places it has
received its second working.
Cotton has come up to from very
good to fair stands, except on red
lands where the ground is baked and
hard and seed did not germinate
well. Cultivation and chopping to
stands is general. The yoong plants
are email but healthy and vigorous.
Tobacco is ia urgent need of mis,
both to finish transplanting and to
maintain stands which, although gen
erally good, are ia places very poor.
Melons have improved. Rico is
excellent. Track is making rapid
growth. Gardens are variable, ac
cording to moisture conditions.
Berries need rain. Apples and cher
ries are dropping. Minor crops are
doing well.
Over the greater portion of the
State the weather was favorable for
cultivating crops, and for general
farm work, and the staple crops,
with the exception of oats, continue
io a very promising condition.
Clarendon-St. Paul : No rain tail
week, and all crops would he beaefitted
bj raia ; however, we ara not suffering,
hst are ia good eultivatiog order ; while
there is ioma raplaming of various
crops to be ~oe, raia only is needed to
path the various crops, which are at
this date txeatleoft.-A J Riehboorg.
Darlington- Society Hill: Notwith
standing showers on 6th and 9tb, rain
it needed to perfect the oats and wheat
c.vops, which are heading nicely ; the
planting of cotton and the transplan t
iag of tob ceo art aboat completed ; til

weather of the past week ; vegetables
becoming plentiful; strawberries very
fine.-J J Lucas,
Florence-Lynch : Fine rain on the
6th ; weather very favorable during
past week and the cultivation of all
growing erops has been pushed ; insects
continue their ravages on eoro, ali
other erops doiog well; oats about

Kershaw-Tillers Ferry : Very
favorable week for workiag cotton ;
chopping well under way ; a good
stand general, of strong healthy
growth ; rain needed for tob ceo ;

Spanish Beseiged,
Washington, May 14 -The war
department today reoeived the following
dispatch :
Manila, May 14
It is reported that Zamboanga
insurgents attacked Spanish troops
11th inst , using quick firing guns and
arms captured from Spanish gunboats.
Spanish general and two officers
wounded. Few casualties among
troops. Spanish garrison now be
sieged. Water supply cut off and
troops calling for relief.
OFFICIAL FALSEHOOD.
How the Administration Has
Deceived the People and
Volunteer Soldiers.
Washington^ May 15r-The admin
istration has Dot dealt honestly with the
country in regard to the volunteers
in the Philippines. It has given
ont one thing about bringing
home these men, who have been
worked and fought so continu
ously that many of them are
now unfit for duty, when U knew that
another thing was to be done. It bas
told the country that Gen. Otis had
been ordered to send the volunteers
home ss fast as transportation could bc
secured for them, when Otis bad really
been ice tr noted to keep the volunteers
ss long as he needed them and could
mske them sppesr to stay willingly.
This bas been suspected for some time,
but when two transports left Manila for
San Francisco last week, with only
sick and wounded men aboard, and two
more with no soldiers aboard, it became
a certainty. It is now privately se*
koowledged by members of the admin
wtratioa that it had, from the first,
been the intention of Otis to keep thc
volunteers until the Fili pinos surrender
ed, snd that thc bluff about bringing
them home as fast as vessels could be
made available was thrown out because
it was thought that the surrender would
occur before there would be any
opportunity to saud t bern hone.
Government of the people ono never
add to its strength or popularity by
deceiving the people. Every such
deception is an impugnment of the peo
ple.
The disappointment felt in adminis
tration oiroles over the failure of the
expected surrender of Aguinaldo to
materialize is so acute that it cannot be
hidden, and ofici is who have been so
glib for several weeks past, in predict
ing the speedy finish of Aguinaldo,
cannot now bc coaxed to talk about the
probabilities over there at all.
Mr. McKinley still holds to his
policy of. rewardiog the gold democrats
for asking him President. The first
census plum given to Ohio was the
appointment of Gen. Americus Y.
Rice, by direct order of Mr. McKinley,
to bc purchasing agent of the Census
Bureau.
i
Hon. E L Russell, President of the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad, who is visit
ing Washington, thinks the chances for
the promotion of Hon. John M. Allen
('.Private John Allen of Tupelo")
from the House to the Senate are
excellent, and he has oiroulated among
the people of Miasippi sufficiently to bc
well posted. He said : "The people
of his state appreciating Mr. Allen's
merit snd long and useful career in the
House, mean to promote him, and io so
dloiog, they will honor themselves."
Admiral Schiey has accepted an
invitation from ex-Senator Manderson
to pay him a visit, at his Nebraska
home, .and will leave for the west st
anec. He will probably take advan
tage of thc opportunity, while ia that
section, :;o visit number of other
Western points, to which be has been
cordially invited.
If the idea of a popular subscription
to buy a Washington home for Admiral
Dewey is as well received all over thc
country as it has been in Washington,
Clough raooey is likely to be subscribed
to buy bim a whole town, instead of a
single house. Dewey has notified the
navy department that be will leave
Manila in a few days, and will get to
the United States io ab^it four months,
which indicates his intention to make
the homeward voyage io a very leis
urely manner, as the trip oould easily
be made inside of two months. His
friends say that the admiral wishes to
give himself a chance to get good and
strong and the cool weather of fall to
arrive before he tackies the ovations
which he knows await him io this
country. Dewey is a long-beaded
chap.
Ex-Representative Hartman, of Men
tana, who voluntarily retired (rom
congress at the dose of the last session,
is in Washington. He says the wish
was father to the story that the silver
republicans of bis section were oot
friendly to the re-nomiaation of Col.
Bryan, and that Col. Bryan hes taken
exactly the right position towards those
who boited the Chicago convention ;
that the silver republicans who bolted
McKinley's nomination and platform
and supported Bryan ^vould have just
as muoh right to attempt to dictate to j
the republicans as the goid democrats
bare io diotate to the democrats,, 0
tiouiog be said : "I would cs ;
thick of going to Mark Hanna for
information ai to democratic faith and
democratic principle*, as to Perry Bel
moot. They are both supporters of the
same interests, advocates of the same
fioanoial policy, and brother opponents
of tbe producing and wage-earning
classes of the United Sutes." Mr.
Hartman thinks that if tho eleotion
was this year, instead of next, there
would be oe doubt of the tickets being
beaded by Bryan and McKinley again,
and expects that they will be anyway.
! Speaking of next year's democratic
platform, he said : "The three most
prominent fsatures in the platform, in
my judgment, will be, first, its decla
ration on the money question, which
will inclnde a re affirmation of the
Chicago platform, a declaration for
independent bimetallism, against the
retirement of the greenbacks, against
isk'rest-bearing bonds, and against
transferring to the banks the right to
issue or eontrol the issue of paper
money ; second, a strong declaration
against trusts, and third, anti-imperial
ism."

Interest in New Peace Fro*
posais Coming From
Aguinaldo.
Manila, May 14.-The civilian mem
bers of ef the United States Philippine
commission are favorable to the meet
tog with a Filipino commission which
was soggested yesterday, on behalf of
Aguinaldo, bj Lieut. Keyes, of the
staff of Glen. Gregorio Del Pilar, who
came to Gen. Lawton under a Sag of
truce, bearing the proposal. It is
thought by tb? Ameriean commission
ers that the idea may have resulted
from a recent meeting of the so called
Filipino congress at San Isidro. Defi
nite information on this point, however,
cannot yet be obtained though the local
Filipino commission, which is in close
communication with the leaders of tbe
rebellion, is doing its utmost to secure
peace.
Ten members af Maj. Gen. Lawton's
band of scouts, under W- M. Young,
the old Indian fighter, entered the town
of San Miguel, about fifteen miles
north of Norsagary, not aware what
place it was. They foand 200 Filipinos
there, bot the rebels, taking the sooots
for the advance of Gen. Lawton's
army, fled , after firing a few shots.
Young and another scout were wound
ed and have been brought to Manila.
The Ninth infantry and a mountain
battery of six guns have been sent to
i the front.
The uniform quiet now prevailing in
Manila has led the authorties to relax
the rule under which the city streets
were cleared from 7 to 8 30 p. m., and
this evening there is the largest and
most brilliant assembly of pedestrians
and people in carriages to listen to a
band coooert on the Luoetta that has
been known here sinoe the Spaniards
left
Prof. Schuman, president of the
United States Philippine commission,
gave a farewell luncheon today to Ad
miral Dewey at which Prof. Dean G,
Worehester and Col. Chas. Denby of
the commission, with Gen. MacArthur,
Mrs. Lawton, and others, were present.
The health of the admiral was drunk
wkh the utmost cordiality.

Tbe Reina Mercedes.
Washington, May 13.-The navy
department was notified today that tbe
former Spanish croiser Reina Mercedes
had sailed from Santiago. She will be
brought to the Norfolk navy yard and
there turned over by tbe Merritt &
Chapman Co., to the naval authorities.
Mach ioterest attaches to the coming
of this vessel, as she is probably
the only one of the captured Spanish
ships of any size which will be in con
dition to be brought to this country
The Mercedes was the ship sunk in she
channel at tbe entrance of Santiago
harbor as a means of barring it to the
American warships. After the fall
of Santiago an inspection of the
sunken ship showed that she was io
fairly good condition, as ehe had not
been sunk in action, but by the cpeoiog
of ber port holes A contract was
made with the wreckiog compaoy by
which they agreed to deliver her to the
Norfolk navy, yard part of the pay for
service being conditioned on the suc

At last all of our studies are over, and
with a sigh of reilef, each student is prepar
ing ta enjoy the Spring holidays in his own

some intend seeing the home folks, while
others will spend the time in "making np"
COD di lions, preparing for "exams" or having
a good time m the city. The btse ball team
left for Charleston yesterday, where they will
play several games, and the crowd will
join them tonight, so that we will have plen

the society be represents, The object of the
contest was to decide who should represent the
college in the coming Sontbern Inter-Collegi
ate Oratorical Contest, and we have the high
est hopes of Mr. Belser'3 success.
At the last meeting of the Eopbradian So
ciety the doors were thrown open to the
public, and in spite of the inclemency of the
weather, there was a large and appreciative
audience present. Tbs program consisted of
readings, declamations and a debate on the
query, "Resolved, That the Confederate sol
diers should be pena ton ed by the "^rth " It
is needless to say that both the Cw .mi tree to
decide the debate and the house, decided in
the negative. After the president bad bid
our visitors good evening, we installed the
officers elected at the previene meeting. They
are as follows: President, C. H. Foster,

Literary Note.
According to Genera] Joseph Wheeler, the
custom of Betting apart s day for decorating
the soldiers' graves bad its origin among the
women of hie own State of Alabama. Co
like the men, they would cot permit their
dead "quietly to become a part of general
history." Under the title, Tbe Memory of
Our Fighting Men, General Wheeler contrib
utes to the Saturday Ereniog Poet of May 27
a strong paper on tbe history and signifi
cance of Memorial Day. General Corbio, of
the G. A. R , also treats a similar topic, but
from a differing point of view.
Among the fiction io this number is The
Crump's Creek Tangle, a Decoration-Day
story by John Habberton. It is one of the
cleverest of Mr. Habberton's clever tales of
plain people.
Another feature of the Decoration-Day
number of the Post is a peom by FraDk L.
Stanton, that i3 a notable tribute to "The

Belored Christian Seientiata :
Keep jonr minds so filled with Truth a sd

It ia plain that nothing can be added to
the mind already foll. There ia no door
through which eril can enter, andi no apace
for eril to fill in a mtnd filled with goodness.
Good thoughts are an impervious armor ;
elad therewith yon are completely shielded
from the attacks of error of ererj sort. And
not onlj yourself are safe but all whom your
thoughts rest upon are thereby benefited.
It ia the eril thinker who injaree himself

Goodness involuntarily resists er L
The evil thinker takes bia own doae and
