MOXT1II.Y KKPOKT Of the South t'aroUim State Weather Service for September. J. W. Bauer, director of the Weather Bureau, has just issued the following summary for September : The past month was noted as being the | warmest September in the interior of the State, of which record is available. Along the coast, the mean temperature was exceeded by that of 18N1 only, in the annals of the Weather Bureau. The excess of heat occurred mainly during tbo daytime as the night temperature differed hut little from those usual to September. The. month was remarkable for the number of days with maximum temperatures of 90 or above, the average for the State hav iug been 11 days, ranging from thrco at Port Royal to 27 at Shaw's Forks. There was a |>erioil of Trom K to 11 consecutive duyH on which the maximum temperature reached 1)0 or above in the central portions of the State, which was the greatest heat-wave ever recorded in the same month, aud seldom surpassed during the hottest j months. There was only 2(? per centum of the usual raiiiiull ami it was not well distributed. Over n narrow strip e\ tending from Ihaufort into Charleston county, tie-re was a slight < xcess; omitting this s;r.u!l territory, there v as only Is* per centum of the usual amount for the rest of tin* State. Three station* reported no **ain. and eight other? less than liaif an ineli. i All the rain il before the middle of the month, followed by an unprece- ; dented period of clear, hot weather that quickly dried the ground and I brought the growth of fall crops to a ' stand still; cutting short sueli eropa j as usually come to maturity l?y the end of September. The top-crop of i cotton and late root crops sustained : the gt? atest injury; pastures became j brow n ami hare; streams ran very low, i and wells went dry in a. few localities. Tho drought was most severe in the western portions of the State. The ' month was favorable for harvesting, ; ntnl especially for picking cotton, the J dry weather made it possible to secure the lint in the finest condition. It was ; too dry for late com aud peas. There was a light frost, the lirst of the season, in Oconee, Pickens and [ireenville counties on the morning of j tin? doth. Thmi-ki: vrt i:r? ? Monthly nnr.ii for : tilt?

While Mr. Moseley has unnecessarily exposed himself 011 frequent occasions, there is no excuse to oti'er 011 behalf of the "dark devils" who perpetuated this dastardly crime. Mr. Moseley's life was threatened more than once, and notwithstanding the overtures of friends and relatives, he has persistently laid himself liable to such fatalities as overtook him Sunday morning. 1 Mr. Moseley, it is said, has captured more liquor than any other coustable on the force, and lias enjoyed the con- i lidenco of his superiors in the dispensary oflice. Moseley went to Ninety Six Saturday and made ,-.ome seizures there, arriving at Greenwood late at night aud goiug to his death. According to Mrs. Moseiey's wishes ; the body was buried at Greenwood on Monday. A wife and two children survive him. He was insured for S1,()00 in the Order of the Goldeu Chain.

Emanuel Williams, wus killed at Heivern Saturday night by Mr. Oscar Mover, a conductor and. Southern Express messenger on the Carolina Midland Kail road. Meyer and Williams had had some trouble some two or three weeks since at Seivcrn, and Meyer had been advised by numerous friouds to be on the alert, lest Williams would tako an advantage some time and kill him in the i dark. Meyer, who runs regularly as conductor on the Curoliua Midland ltuil- i road, received a dispatch at Wagoner last, night reading thus: *'llc on the lookout; something wrong in town." j1 Signed." This put liim on lus guard, when he went into Seiveru he lirst asked the 1 agent and afterwards Engineer Goodwin to walk with him to his boarding house.

A Contract of tho "Old South" With the "New," Her Industrial Future j Very Bright. "The South" is a very large expression,nud progress in the South indicates a movement distributed over many states not ut all alike, either iu natural advantages or lutely acquired enterprise. Some parts of tho South are still very backward, while others havo made advances of late years which it would be difficult to find excelled iu ( any other section of tho country. Peoplo have become familiar with the rapidly increasing production of the great agricultural staple of the South. Between 1880 and 1885 the crop kept within (<,000,000 bales, by 1S8(> it was G,500,000 bales, and by 1880 close on to 7,000,000. Tho maximum was thought to have been reached when the crop of 1800 exceeded 7,1100,000 bales, but that was thrown into the shade when the extraordinary crop of last your showed a total of nearly 0,500,000 bales. The present year's crop will ho very far short of this in quantity, | though thanks to the advanced price, j its value may bo as great. In the 1 natural order of tliiutrs. the cron of 1891 will not stand h?ng without it rival. When Texas grows more cotton ! Lhun till Ihu South did before the war ami she isstill tit the beginning of Iter agricultural development, the cotton producing possibilities of the S .ith lire very fur from being exhauster.. Side by siilo with tile growth of what used to bo the only source of Southern ' wealth there lias been growing up a i more diversified agriculture and the beginning of a wide range of matin j 1'actmes. It is characteristic of the : uew spirit of the South that the cotton seed oil industry is the growth of the period since the war. A product which was reckoned useless in 18(50 ' figured in 1890 us having a value,after j treatment iu the mills, of $515,834,000, and is today the basis ol'nn investment ! in building aud machinery of $'10,000,- i 100. In 1880 the whoie South produced only 148,000,000 bushels of | graiu, lust year the yield was 000.000,- 1 300. The. , number of tons of coal . mined iu 1S80 was but little over 3,000,000, while 1891 it was 30,000,i)00. The output of pig iron in the South in 1880 was 197,..00 tuns, and in 1894 1,500,000 tons. TheJ value of the product of the sawed and planed lumber, which in 1880 was $10,988,000, had ti.-euiu 1894 to $114,740,074. Tho true value of Southern property according to tho census returns of 1880, was $7,941,000,000; lust year it was estimated at 57 por cent more. There arc to-day some $800,000,000 invested in mauuiucturiug enterprises in the South, with an estimated uunual ralue of product of $1,000,000,000. : flf flio fitnnnr oltnnf. ftlrtft HAH AAA n \ f u>'wr?v V*v/V/jV'VV/,\/V/V ACT invested in cotton mills, or five times j is much as in 1880,and some $03,000,- I )00 is invested in lumber mills. A ' recent writer en the South remarked that with the possession of all the raw , materials entering into manufactures, with cheap labor and cost of living, the industrial future of tho South shonld be of the brightest. Bat the fact that these resources remained so long unieveloped and are now coming so fully into evidence argues a change in tho ipirit of the people moro significant than the inexhaustible bounty of nature. No one at all familiar with the old South can fail to be struck with the resolution with which tho men, ivhom the war left penniless,set themselves to repair their wasted fortunes. ' While there were many that succumbed to tho struggle, as well as mauy ? that surmounted it. they have, as a riilo K't'f tlwkfr. uritno m nnl? hnHor ted for the competition of modern life than they were themselves, Tho rapid acceleration of Southern progress may bo due partly to an infusion of Northern energy, but it is mainly the work of Southerners who were too young to know anything of the war or its pas ions, or who wore born after its close.
