very much consequence.
Of the articles before the convention
ready for consideration the following
will very likely be hastily adopted
without any debate or wrangling worth
mentioning: On penal uud charitable
institutions, on declurutions of rights
and on militia.
The following articles that arc yet t.>
be considered:
On right of suffrage.
On finance and taxation.
On education.
On corporations.
On judicial department.
These are the mutters that will cause
uo end of debate ami produce a Hood
of amendments of all kinds. And it
is in view of these that it is absolutely
impossible to toretell even approximately,
how Ioii{4 the cotm ntiou will
remain iu session when it item,vein s,
lu view of the faet tlmt the really
vitally important im.tt r> have not yit

I FINAL CROP BULLETIN
Of the South Carolina Weather an d
Crop Service.
Director J. W. Bauer, iu ituning his
final report for tho season of 1895,
says: The week ending, Monday, October
7th, was cooler than usual ovor j
the entire State, the departure from
the uornml having been greatest on
the first three days when it ranged
from 8 to 12 degrees per duy below,
after which there was a gradual rise
to normal or above on Sunday and ?
Monday (Gth and 7th). The tempera- 1
ture for the week ranged between 92 '
at Columbia on the 7th and 30 at 1
Greenville on the 1st. The mean tem- 1
peraturoof tho week, deduced from33 (
station reports, was 03.5 and the nor- f
mal for tho same period is upproxi- 1
inutcly 08,5. 1
There were frosts on the 1st, 2nd '
and drd, reaching from the extreme *
western portions of the State into the 1
central and northeastern counties
where, however, hut little or no injury *
resulted. In the western and extreme '
northern counties the frost was heavy. <
killing | i i vines, sweet potato vines, !
wrv lot* e >"!?. and what cotton leave.-.
th; ' remained green, but it was not 1
co! i in ugh to injure cotton bolls '
' 'n re was an entire absence of ruin 1
lining 5iie we !i and the drought be- 1
cuuie greatly iutensilied. Over the (
whole Stat, there Inis not been more
than a* best a tra e of rain siuee from (
the'dth to the llith of September, and j
jii many places there has beou no bone- J
lieiul rain since the iJ'hl of August. I
The effect of the drought has been to {
cut short the pea crop; stopthegrowth !
of cotton ami cut off the top crop; pre- '
vent late corn from tilling properly;to '
cut off the yield of tweet potatoes, es- '

vent the sowing of small grains, llow- '
ever, the long continued dry. sunny
weather gave oxcellcutopportunity for 1
making hay of all varieties and a very 1
large fodder crop was saved in the 1
very best condition; for drying out
and housing corn; for piekiug cotton. ;
which made rapid progress, and the "

The condition of the various crops .
remains practically unchanged at the
cud of tin* week.
Rapid pr ogress was in ule in picking .
anil harvesting out ton, so that it is
generally reported from the eastern
portions of ilie State that at least twot1oI'tls
of the *rop has Ween picked anil ^
a large proj ortion of it marketed.
What remains in the fields, in that
section, is all open, and picking will !
We finished in from two to three weeks,
if the weather remains favorable. In
the western portion of the State picking
is less advanced, Wut even there
nearly the whole crop is open, and
picking and marketing is Wcing pushed.
'L'he prevailing >i tisfai'tory price of
eottoii causing the fanners to .-ell as
fast as gathered. As picking advauues
towards completion the smalltiess of
the crop becomes more and more uj>pa

There is little more to add to what
has Ween said of corn in previous
bulletins. Husking and housing has
been carried on to some extent, but
the weather has Ween such that corn
