THE UNION TIMES. UNION, S. C. WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN. Director Bauer lias Issued tlic Following Interesting Bulletin. The past week was characterized bv its excessive heat, which, w ith the wet condition of the ground and generally light winds, gave the weather a hot house condition and with a Similar forced growth to crops. Corn profited by those conditions, and that of latest plantiug is now fully or nearly ripe, so that now* the entire corn crop is full*, made and entirely independent of Lcai. cold, drought or rain, except so far as thoSO conditions Would afb et r'nfln.rim. ami housing it. Cotton in places gr? ? too much to weed under forced growth, . and ou light sandy land growth ceased and the plant is turning yellow nnd , shedding its leaves as well as its shapes. Small lield crops mude won- I derful growth and are generally in ex ccllent condition. The showers of tLt week hindered rice harvest somewhat. There were two <>r throe local wind storms that damaged crops, in th< vicinity iu which tney occurred, to a small extent; and bottom lauds m Lancaster County were Hooded and some eor:. ruined. In Aiken County much swamp corn was drow ned in tic freshet ot t;.< previous we?k, t-lit it.? sum total of the damage to ct? ps comparative ly in.-igniticant. The reports, with but few >x captions, state that th* weather was un favorable for cottou which continues to shed freely in all portions <-f tin State. th? rust has become more general during the week. I'oll worms are not repotted from any but Edgefield CoUIitV. where ln.no-..r t !.?.* have done much injury already. C'ott??n in opening freely over the entire State, nut picking has not been actively begun in the western counties. but will be during the present week. 1 he holla uro said to be of large size generally and the staple as a rule of high grade. Fodder pulling is fnst Hearing completion in all but the extreme northern portions of the State. A great deal of fodder was damaged by the rains and the weather generally was unfavorable for curing. The hot moist weather of the past week ripened corn very fast and has mado the crop. The harvesting of rice has been pushed 111 the Georgetown and lower coast regions, but was hindered considerably by showery weather. The grain is said to he full large and yielding well. Some upland rice harvested; the crop is a very fine one. The tohnceo crop has about all been gathered, and farmers are jubilant as the sales progress, showing remunerative results. Pejfj are generally doing finely. HftrpYinna boiling well under way and the yield of syrup satisfactory. Sweet potatoes doing well, but running too much to vine. Late, fruit excellent, and the antde crop it Greenville county promises to exceed the bout of former years. Pasturage excellent. Peanuts, turnips, also good crops. Lauds being prepared for winter vegetables and oats.

The News ,v Courier says of the tobacco break at Florence last week : It will be remembered that last year the Florence market for the sale of leaf tobacco oj * Ltd on September 4. At that "break about 4b.000 pounds was sold. "1 Ii:r- year the market opened up just one week earlier, yet the crop was at leust two weeks behind that of last year. Last year we hail only one small warehouse. This year we have two irotro.lii-A ?v n %o.l> . . . , . ,.n 1 A.. juiiucunr wniruuurcn ittji ' I in It'U IU bold, when ready for sale 500,000 pounds of t<?bacco. Ah to prices they ranged all the way from 2 1-2 cents to 4n cents. Mr. J H. Tomlinsoc, of Shiloh. Snniter Co., Bold one special lot of golden leaf wrappers at two dollars and twenty cents per pound. This sale was at the Farmers* warehouse. The average price paid at the Farmers' vare house will be about Ki cents, while at the "Florence" ware houseitwill probably be about 22 cents. Now as to the cause of the difference in the average at the two warehouses; The tobacco thut was Bold at the "Farmers' " warehouse was of a fur interior grade of leaf than that Bold Ht the "Florence." Another trouble was that the tobacco was not cured as nicely as that at the "Floieccc." Most ail of the tobacco that was brought here Thursday classed n?* 'lugs,' which is the lowest grade that is put on the ruarktt. I'esides being "lugs" it t.'b us a whole m too "high order," or, in plain words, it wag entirely too damp, soit and pliable. There were nine tobacco counties j represented in the tobacco "break" today ? Murlboro. Sumter, C'larendc n, Williamsburg. Darlington. Murion, Horry, Kershaw aud Florence. There were hundreds of people in I the city today as. i the hotels were | taxed to accommodate those who came ht re just to be present at the "break." During the ntire sale the verv best of huu:or j i.y.iiled, and with the ex cej uou < ; u a w tiu u ml were well pleased with tin ir sales. There were some tag* turned down and the tobacco even taken from the tl?? >r, but in these eases the weed wa? entirely too highly cured or classed iu u lower prude than its owner thought it should l?e. The bunk ot Florence kept its doors open throughout Thursday and Friday in order to cash all the checks for the farmers who sold their weed. This was a great advantage to the war?. house men and buyers, as well us the planters who sold their weed here to-day. For the success of to-dny's great "break" the planter.-* of Florence and adjoining combe*, the citizen? ol Floreio-e i.:.''J thcVusinCss men of the city should congratulate the Florence bo ird of tn.de. inasmuch as it has done what nothing would have done without it For instance, it hus been tin means of uniting the business and professional men of the eity into one strung body, and through the board of trade we h at two immense* tobacco ware h M!*i > and a numbe: > : immense prize houses. It was through them that we L>?t a set o{ first-class I nyers. It was through them that the American Tobacco Company sent buyers here. There are other instances where the '"board of ffjob " has done much good, an 1 tie- wish of every Florentine is iDfit ttie hoiml of trade \si 11 cipi.':l i?: to be a vuuable and indispensable adjunct to the prosperity of the city.

State L.quor Commissioner Mixson has given to the press bis quarterly report fc>r the second quarter, ending July 31, 1895. The report of tire legislative committee, which is referred to by the commissioner, verifies the tabulated figures given below. So far as money results are concerned, the dispensary, to use the language of the commissioner, seems to be "moving smoothly," and so far as matters of office routine work are concerned bIiows the improvements that come with experience.
