The week ending 8 a m , July 23d, was oearly three degrees warmer than usual, and had a maxi? mum of 102 degrees at Batesburg, aod a minimum of 66 at Greenville. There were light, widely scattered showers during the entire week, beefiest in the central counties By far the greater portion of the State had no raio, and severe drought con? ditions prevail io places Tbe need of raio is general aod nearly all crops failed, or are beginning to suffer for lick of moisture, especially old coro that is maturing. Tbe dry weather was favorable for layiog by, aod ridding fields of grass and weeds, so that crops are being laid by in generally clean condition, although grassy fields are sti'u com? mon Old coro failed materially, except oo moist lands, where it shows slight improvement Oo ssody lands it is firing. Young corn continues to look well aod retains its color, but is not growing, aod will soon fail unless moisture is supplied. Bottom laod corn has made little recovery since the June freshets Cotton improved slowly, except on ssody lands where it is shedding leaves aod squares sod is toroiog yellow Cottoo is generally small sod late, although fields are now fruitiig noimally, but the crop is do ing poorly owiog to drought, blight and sbeddiog Tobacco is ripening fast, and cur ing made rapid progress, being now over bslf finished The hot weather injured tobacoo to some extent Tbe prospects for a large forage crop is good, especially of fields peas which look very promishiog Minor crops generally, as well as pastores i sod gardens, aod failing rapidly, and stand in urgent oeed of raio.

It may he a queatiou whether tbe editor of a newspaper has tbe right to publicly recom? mend aoy 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 aod Diarrhoe i Remedy We have known and UBed this medicine in oar family for 20 years and bavs always found it reliable. Io many cases a dose of this remedy would save boon of suffering while a pbysiciau is await? ed. We do not believe io depending implic? itly oo any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoe? Remedy were kept on band and administered at tbe inoeption of an attack much suffering might be avoided aod in very many cases tbe presence of a physician would oot be required. At least tail has been our exptrieoce during tbe past 20 years. For sale by Dr. A. J. China. Manna ?? sanasw First Bate New Crop.
