PISGAH NEWS.
P?3gab, July 10 -Not in years has there
been such a ?ght witn grass as the farmers
have bad this year to save their crops. While
the average may be above last year, the fields
abandoned for want of cultivation, and the
ooor prospect of a crop, will bring the yield
to about last year. Corn as a whole is not
promising. The month to work it was lost
by wet, and a drouth now will make it a
failure.
Tbe fruit crop is abundant. Blackberries
have dried on the bushes for wane of being
picked. A. portion of our population have
showed their independence by living on them
rather than do an honest day's work for good
wages. Plumbs in abundance, as well as tbe
other small fruits.
The health of our section is very good.
Dr. Osteen has one typhoid fever case, which
is recovering.
Harold Bradley, who has been attending
the S.C. Co-Educational Iastitute of Edge
field, has returned borne. He was sick a
month there with fever, and his father, Mr.
T. M. Bradley, staid with him until he could
be moved. Mr. Bradley says from what he
could eee from the cars tbe crop prospect is
poor indeed.
Tobacco coring has commenced. It is
bad some of cur friends have to cure it on
Sunday.. Not much is planted here, the large
number who planted it have quit it in
disgust.
Politics is below par here. So the candi?
dates need not worry much about this sec?
tion. It is boped that the self-respecting
candidates will so conduct themselves as to
merit the confidence of tbe people and not try
to show so much friendship at once to get
votes. A man right will always De his
natural 6elf, candidate or not.
The ehain gaDg is up bere at last working
about in epots. Lso White knows how to
work a road with them.
Some people about here have about lost
their beads on matrimony. Old folks say it
has alwajs beeo so more or less.
Rsv. J. Walter Keaney bas beeo quite sick
but is all O. K. again.
IS IT EIGHT
For an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines ?
From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C.
It may be a question whether the editor cf
a newspaper has the right to publicly recom?
mend any of the various proprietary medi?
cines which flood the market, yet as a pre?
ventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrheal Remeay. We have known
and used this medicine in our family for 20
years and have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy would save
boura of suffering while a physician is await?
ed. We do not believe in depenciiog implic?
itly on any medicine for a core, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Cbarr berlain's
Diarrhoe* Remedy were kept on band and !
administered at the inception of an attack
much supering might be avoided and ia very
many cases the presence of a physician would
not be required. At least this bas been our
experience during the past 20 years. Fer

Magnolia Items.
Magnolia, 3. C., July 9.-The extreme sea?
sons have seriously injured tbe cotton ard
corn crops in tb is section. Judging frcm
the present outlook, without rain very soon,
we can count on something like a half crop.
I never saw crop3 fail faster.
The ice famine here was partially broken
today by tba receipt of ten blocks, bot tboee
accustomed to the dally use of it had a try?
ing time ou Saturday and Sunday, as none
could be had.
AD interesting game of baie ball was play
ed here on the 6th inat. between the Tim
moosrille tod Magnolia third nines. The
score stood 10 to 12 in favor of Timmone
ville. The same teams played at the later
place a few days before, on which occasion
tbe Magnolias won. The next game will be
at Timmonsville and promises to bs quite
interesting.
Miss Lucy McLeod wbo bas been ill for
several weeks is slowly improving.
Mrs B. F. Jones is much better, but cot
doing so well today.
Mrs. J. D. Clark is still very ill.
Several negroes in this community have
died of consumption within the last few
months-one quite recently. Before the late

Mr. Gordon Griffin is giving some atteo
tion to tbe raising of improved bree?s of
chickens, he has some fine birds. He also
has a cage of very pretty guinea pigs-some
what of a curiosity to those who have never
eeen them before. Gordoo bids fair to
quite an enterprising young maa.
The voun? men will give aa ice creara
party at Mr. J. F. McIntosh's tonight for the
b?nefit of the girls. Our gallant boys never
tire in their efforts to attract and pleas:; the
ycoog ladies, and tb'13 little town c*o boast
of quite a number of each sex.
Politics are not much discussed in this
place, but Hoyt seems to bave the floor. Tbe
cotton market and the war in Cbioa appear
to have the foremost places in the minds of
many.
I Look oat for announcement of several
marriages io and around Magnolia in The
fall. With those contemplating matrimony
the cotton market, wars, &c, are dead issue?.
Occasional.
Magnolia, July 10.-Since our last we
have had, and we are baying two extremes
very wet and very dry weather.
Crops hive failed and unless we get rain
soon there will be about half crops made in
tnis section.

Alcolu, four mile3 above here. Tbe amount

INVITE THE VETERANS.
Editor Daily Item : Oo the 28th cf May
there appeared in your paper under tbe cap
tioo, "Iovite the Veterans," a letter signed
"A Confederate Veteran" suggesting that the
naxt reunion of the State Division be asked
to bold their reunion in Sumter. Now, Mr.
Editor, our camp would hardly take it upon
itself io invite the veterans without the back?
log first of the City Council and the people
of Sumter, and secondly we would bave to
ask the citizens to contribute towards paying
expenses ; 1 would tnerefore suggest that the
City Couocil express themselves on thia sub?
ject and also cali a mass meeting of the citi?
zens of Sumter some time during thi3 aontb
tc? consider this question, in order tbat Camp
Dick Anderson may take some action at its
meeting on Monday, August 6tn.
There is no doutt of the adrtntage to
Sumter ia holding the reunion of 1901 and
the old soldiers of Sumter County would be
delighted to meet their old comrades there,
j As J: ruie the men who ratend tbeee reunions
j are prepared to pay their own expenses uni
< a very few wouid have to ne c->rtd for, the
! oc!v question wouid be H j?la>.e tor tbe old
Soldier to &tay at ; and il seems to tue that
the Sumter people who have always tee::
readv u> entertain other bodies wbo b'tve
asaemhled there wiii not he found wan"irg
when the old Coniederate Veteran knocks at
the door.
Now, Mr. Editor, will you kindly publish
this snort note and pusn tbe matter iu your

up.
At six o'clock tbe stockholders met at the

ization. It was decided to instantly apply
fora charter and to push tbe work forward

The Kind You Have Always Bought
Bears the
Signature of
Weather Forecast.
Mr Horr-r-ufTikv, the famous meteorologi?
cal expert, will forecast and perform other
weather services tor Sumter and vicinity dur?
ing the heated snell It is the earnest hope
of lir. Hoteouffsky that be will succeed in
the attempt to prove that there are one or
two hotter places than Sumter at this seaeon
of the year, and as he believes that "coming
events cast their shadows on before," be pur?
poses keeping a bright lookout for 6uch
Bhadows and while sitting or lieing in their
shade wherever found, (mostly lieing) tell
what the weather has done or is likely to do.
The forecaster will do bis best to bring
down tbe Fareobeit to boiling heit and to a
certain degree (or fraction of a degree) we
believe be may succeed. The following is
his first bulletin :
Bullet-in the gun, July 6tb, Red Hot from
the sun, 12 m.-Two places oo the equator
today reported higher temperature than Sum?
ter. Aootber place situated somewhere be?
low the surface of the earth and merely indi?
cated hy a-also reports a degree higher
than I do today. The indicatioos for to?
morrow and for a few days to come are
slightly warmer than the biDges of the place
indicated by a-.
Sumter, S. C., 12 m , July 9, 1900.
Weather forecast. Also bind cast or kick,
for Sumter and vicinity. I feel bad. I am
"under the weather." I tried to manage it
I fougbt the weather and tried to get on top
of it, but. the temperature went too high fer
me; so I am "nader the weather." There is
an area of depression here. Everyone is de?
pressed by the beat. A cold wave is coming.
So is Christmas. The two will arrive to?
gether. Heat travels in waves. The wave
now present travelled a long-way. It got
here and has come to stay awhile. This
wave is fahrenheit. This foreign-heit wave
does cot belong here. I may run it yet. It
came from the tropics lt. is compostd of
three distinct waves. They met here aod
united. One wave is from Cuba. Another
is frcm the Philippines. The third wave
came from these islands some time ago and
was already here. The third wave is .VIcKin
ley's "wave of prosperity" that broke the
ice. Maximum temperature today 150 degrees.
Minimum temperature 145 degrees. The mean
temperature is as mean a3 it can oe
"There7! be a hot time in the old town to?
night"-also tomorrow.

The South's Advantages.
Carroll D. Wright, the weli known
statistician and political economist,
contributes an article to Leslie's in
which he discusses the reasons for
cheaper labor at the south He at?
tributes this to three causes : legisla
tion, labor unions and sociological
conditions
These do ail enter largely into the
matter. But the great advantage the
south has is that living is so much
cheaper here than in the north The
climate is so much milder and the
productions so varied, that the
means of living, and of comfortable
living, are in the reach of all who
will work.
These advantages will aways be
because they are natural advantages,
so that the south can always manu
facture at an advantage over the
i north It is an advantage that will
j increase too as the southern pec?le
I become more accustomed to manu
facturmg and acquire more skiii io
this department o? industry.
SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Kansas City, July 7.-The Silver
Republican party today by its exe?
cutive committee issued an address
to the Silver Republicans of the
United States saying, among other
things :
"The Democratic candidate for
president is ours, our convention
named him. Upon the propositions
above stated, we are one with the
Democratic and the People's party.
Our candidate for president is en
listed, heart and BOUI, in this great
cause. We know he bas the high
courage of his convictions. His tri?
umph is necessary if we are to hand
down to our children and our chil?
dren's children a government founded
in the wisdom of the fathers, main?
tained in the blood aod treasure of
its citizens and perpetuated as a
priceless heritage.
"Impelled by these considerations,
your national committee bas deter?
mined that its duty in this hour is to
endorse Hon Adlai ? Stevenson as
our candidate for vice president, io
order that the opposition to the gold
standard, trusts and monopolies, im?
perialism and all its attendant evils
may concentrate its votes at the dan?
ger point and accomplish the triumph
of those principles so dear to us.
It is but simple justice to say that in
taking this action we are following
the advice of our distinguished lead?
er, Hon Chas A. Towne
"Let us express the hope that our
friends will Uy aside whatever of
disappointment they may feel and
join in a united effort to secure the
triumph of our principles at the com?
ing election."
