The week ending May 29th aver
aged over four degrees cooler than
-asnal, with an extreme minimum of
forty five degrees at Walhalla on the
25th
The rainfall for the week was heavy
at a few widely separated points, bat
was generally light and insufficient
io relieve the prevailing drought In
some localities no rain fell. The
seed of rain is general and is indi
cated for alt crops Heil fell over the
central and eastern counties on the
22d, bot io Spartauburg, Union,
. Orangeburg, Barnwell, and Copeton
only was any considerable damage
done, and over small areas in those
counties.
The dry weather was favorable for
cultivation ; farm work made rapid
progress, and field crops are free
from grass and weeds. Late planted
seed are not all up, and large areas
c remain to- be planted to corn and
? cotton, should the ground become
softened sufficiently to permit prepar
ation within the next fortnight.
Where moisture :s lacking, corn is
turning yellow, and late plantings
are Bot up. Over about half the
State the crop is In good condition,
and over the more easterly counties
is being laid by. Worms and grass
hoppers have damaged corn in places.
The cool weather was unfavorable
for cotton, which is making slow
growth, asd in a few localities is in
fested by lice. Late planting not up.
Sea island cotton, has good stands.
Late tobacco settings have poor
stands, and in a few localities the
planteare dying for want of mois
ture. Early plantings doing well.
Worms have appeared in one county.
Wheat is ripening, and harvesting
has begun. Wheat and oats are
below former expectations, the latter
being a short crop generally for fall
sows, and a failure for spring sown.
The weather has been favorable for
harvesting
Riee sa doing well io most districts,
and bas-good stands. .In Colletoo,
some fields are infested by caterpillars.
Hoeing bas began in the Georgetown^
district, and is weU advanced elsewhere.
Melons, sugar cane, and minor crops
generally continue promising Truck
farms io tba Charleston district were
visited by heavy rains, and are greatly
improved.
Some few peas have been planted os
stubble lands, but the ground is gener
ally too dry. No improveme.it in the
fruit prospects.

Scbley'8 Shrewdness.
Whatever may be the merits of the
Sao peon-Sch ley controversy, it must
be admitted that Sooley has the advan
tage of the situation io that be bas not
written a magasine article about the
Santiago battle, and be declares thet be
will not. His declination to write
meena a pecuniary loss, for it can well
bs imagined that the magazines would
pey a stiff price for a "hoi" article
from his p*n. His view of the matter
is somewhat uoiquo, as expressed in an
Omaha interview when he said :
No, I have not written anything and
have deolined all requests for contribu
tions of a literary kind. I do not
believe that those who make history or
assist io making history should write
it .Their field of vision is necessarily
limited end they view it differently
from one who might obliquely see the
entire situation.
Theo, again, there are personal
interests that should be eliminated and
the simple facis should bo banded
down to subsequent generations. ..It is
facts tbat the people want, and when
the facts are is their possession they do
not have to go to a normal school to
deduct conclusions
Yet be managed to ge , in a sarcastic
stroke at bis army and navy brethren
who have been filling pages after pages
of the illustrated papers with their
accounts of bow "me and Betsy killed
the bar." And his "normal school"
remark is a neat hit at the numerous
article? which have endeavored to show
that the glory should be Sampson's.
Scbley has a way of appealing to the
people which is very fetching and he
seems to live up to bis name. We
imagine be would make a good
politician.-The State

The prophetic organs which have
been predicting that Wm, J. Bryan
would be relegated and become a
Iback number stand discredited if
there be anything in popular demon
strations or io the popular enthusi
asm with which he is greeted every
where be appears, and in every sec
tion of the country W ithout any
of the glamour of war achievements
to give bim prestige he fills a piace
in the public eye that nc other ci
vilian holds and is as warmly greet
ed now as he was three years ago,
when, as the brilliant tribune of the
people countless thousands flocked
to hear him and he stirred this
country as it was never stirred be
fore, si Ir red it not becsruse ne was
marvelously eloquent, but becanse
he was of the people and pleaded for
them.
So today he is greeted, and thou
sands go. to hear bim as they did
then, hail bim with an ardor that
speaks the intensity of their trust
and admiration, and do him honors
only such as people do to those they
trust and deem worthy of them. No
man cf ordinary mould could have
stood the test he has, and retained in
defeat the strong bold he has on the
masses of the people.-Wilmington

NEW COTTON OIL COMPANY. '
A Big Enterprise That Will Make
Sumter Headquarters
The secretary of state 2 eeterday issued a I
commission to Perry Meses, A. J. Chioa,
Horace Harby, A. C. Phelps, H. D. Barnett -,
and Marion Moise, all of Sumter, as corpora
tors of the Atlantic Cotton Oil company of
that place. The capital stock is to be 100,
000 and will be divided iato shares at 1G0
each. The company also asks for the right
to maonfacture soap and operate ginneries.
This company is the outgrowth of the
Sututer Cotton Oil & Fertilizer Company'and
the new charter bas been obtained for the
purpose of increasing the capital stock of tbe
old company, extending its business and
widening its scope of operations.
It is stated on good authority that the new
company will build a 60 ton cotton oil mill
at Bennettsviile, will purchase the 40 ton
mill at Gibson, N. C., and will iocrea.se the
capacity of the mill io this city to. 60 tens.
The plaos of those interested ia the enter
prise hare been fully consummated and noth*
iog now remains to be done, save the formal
transfer of the property and options of the
Sumter Cotton Oil Co. to the Atlantic Cotton
Oil Co. The erection of the new mill at
Bennettsviile will be begun at once, tbe mill
in this city will be enlarged by the installa
tion of additional machinery and the Gibson,
N. C., mill will be overhauled and put^ into
first class condition. It is rumored that a
modern and up-to-date ginnery will be built
at Bishopville and operated by the Atlantic
Cotton Oil Co.
The general offices and headquarters of the
company will be In this city.
Atlanta and New York capitalists are as
sociated with Sumter meo in the new com
pany, but the stock will be largely in the
hands of Sumter people, and the management
will be the same as that which bas made so
marked a success of the Sumter Cotton Oil
Co.

Omaha, Neb., May 28.-A special
to The Bee from Chamberlain, S. D.,
says : Word has reached here of a

Pensioners More Numerous.
The List for 1899 Show3 a
Marked Increase.
. The pension roils for 1899 have beeD
practically completed. Yesterday Miss
Maher, tba efficient pension clerk, was
bard at work verifyiDg the rolls cf the
several counties. The list shows the
names of 7,034 pensioners as against
6,694 last year, an increase ct 340
names. The significant thing about it
is that the list of widows presents
almost ail the increase. Instead of an
increase in tbe number of maimed men
who fought for the fiag of the south the
elass list shows ooly 47 names, two
less than last year.
The class B Hst also shows a decided
decrease. From the appropriation of
100,000 the individual pensioners,
notwithstanding the increase which is
offiset by the provision elsewhere for
the expense account, will get about
the same amount as last vear. These
figures were : Glass A, $72 each ; class
B, $18 40 each ; class C, Nos. 1, 2,
3 and 4, $13 80 each.-The State.
Gen. Lew Wallanee, who is now
conferring with William Young, the
playwright selected to dramatic "Ben
Hor," says that the fi>Bt production of
the play will take place next Novem
ber ; and if present plans shall be car
ried out 500 people will^be required
for it presentation, lt wilt be given
in Nev; York, Philadelphia, Boston
and Chicago only, the general says, not
admitting of'successful production in
other American cities.
An amphitheatre that will eclipse
the Vespasian Coliseum, of Rome, will
be constructed on the lake front in
Chicago this summer. The dimensions
of this Jumbo of amphitheatres will be
1,200 feet long by 700 feet wide, and
its seating capacity will be an even
100,000 The building wili be used
for the Chicago autumn festival, and
while only a temporary permit has been
secured, it is believed that the festival
committee will turn the buildiog over
to the city at the close of the fete, and
that it will be a fixture on thc lake
front.
