The interest ?>f the people of the i State is now centered upon the eighth Constitutional Convention that the State has ever had which is to assemble t in the hull of the House of lieprexeu- j I tatives, at Columbia, Sept. 10, at the i hour of high uoou, to be called to order by Secretary of State Tompkins, f The convention is now practically at hand, and any information preliminary ' to the assembling of the convention is read with interest by the people. The lection for delegates to the eonveu- ' * ti< >11 has been held and at present it > looks as if there will be no contests in any of the counties. Secretary Tump- ' kins has not yet appointed the time for tlie assembling of the State board of ' <,unvn.-.-,'rs t-. canvass the returns and . declare the results iu the several counties. I ait the law requires that the uu't-tiuK shall ho in i<l within lit'teeu lays i?iter the eiootioti.

Director J. \Y. llauer has issued the following important weather crop bulletin : The principal feature of last week's weather was th?* excessive rainfall over the greater portion of the State. The drought that had persisted over the western and northern counties throughout July and the two weeks in August was thoroughly relieved, and vegetation of all kinds revived, and crops again look promising. Tho rains came too lato to benefit early corn to any great extent, but late planting is now au assured crop. Cotton was injuriously atlbcted by tho Tains, as the Mowers that get wet fail to fructify and the squares slied; the reports indicate that this was the ease, and the crop that would have put on from the Nth to the 17th, inclusive, is lost. Jn this connection attention has been called to the fact that such portion of the crop that puts on after the llOth of August is not certain to mature. In general, it may be said that the average condition of all crops is better and more promising than for some weeks, with the important exception of cotton, which in the eastern and central portions of the State has taken on rust and is shedding too freely. These reports are n<>t confined to any dime portion* of the western counties. Over the western half of the State, however, there was a marked improveim lit iu the plant in most place*, so that, tnsitig the State as a whole, thei? was little change in the average eotidition <>f the staple. la the lower part of the State it is beginning to open, 'i i:e boils appear to i>e of goo 1 -i/e ami the bottom crop heavily raited: the uncertain top crop looks promising, but, owing to the lateness of tiie enfrc crop, there is small likelihood of in.icli of it reaching tniiiuiity. In p! en. s the plant is rt'ova ig ti o much to weed.

In the western portion of the State early corn was too ripe to be n. icii b"!ielitcd by tlio rains, lint is nevertheless a fair crop, 1 he total crop will be a very large one. Fodderpulling was general, as the weather permit t; .1, but lunch fodder that was pn!!< 1 wss damaged, especially in (trangebnrg and Hampton counties, and the eastern portion of the State generally, e\eii .some on the stalk was gr? litly damaged. In the lower counties molasscsmaking has begun, and sorghum is i lpeiiiug generally. The condition of the crop it. fair but very uneven. 1 ens are doing well as a rule, and a: e grow ing better than ever after the heavy rams.
