A Needed Improvement.
The Southern Itai'road people have
deepened the water drain under Church
street at the crossing. The drain box
has been put beneath the water main.
This is a much needed improvement, as
the water backs up into the cut between
Mr. G. C. May's and Judge D. A.
Townsend's premises after every hard
rain on account of insufficient drainage.

Will Answer to Another Charge.
Will Davis, the colored gent, who w.-s
recklessly shooting his pistol at Carlisle
some ?en days ago and who is now serving
out his sentence of thirty days on the
couitty chain gang, will have another
charge to answer for when he gets through
with his thirty days. It seems that a
day or so before he became t>oistrous he
entered the dwelling of Hon. .J. S Welch
and stole a 38 calibre Smith & Wesson
pistol, cam* up to Union and traded it
to Mr. Ed Humphries at the Company
Store for his and got $4.00 to boot. He
possibly invested some of the boot in
blind tyger, and was feeling too big for
the town of Carlisle when he got buck
and began his open air pistol practice.
The stolen pistol was traced and recovered,
and now Mr. Humphries is
minus his pistol and his four dollars,
Humphries' pistol has been hid away by
the negro's family. Davis will be tried
for this theft next.

and misconduct of the official

otllce, as charged by Mr. Hooker, he

denials. Among others we notice the
following ot which Mr. Booker made
charges on the stump while at Union,
the reply is as follows:
"As to the charge that in Clarendon
county I passed $4,304.04 executions in
Sheriff's hands, in violation of law:
The Auditor gave the Treasurer this
credit under Revised Statues 189.1, Section
302, sub-division 2, which provides
specifically for such credit. Of this sum
the Sheriff collected and paid to the
Sinking Fund Commission $505.31; the
remainder was returned nulla bona by
the Sheriff. Of the sum collected Mr.
Brooker got as his commission ?120.33,
He is the only man who profited by wliat,

Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 15, 1900.
The week was the hottest of the season
and the highest temperatures ever recorded
in August occurred at a number
of points.
With the exception of light, scattered
thunder storms in the central and western
counties on the 12th, there was an entire
absence of rain, and little or 110 dew
during the nights. The sky was generally
cloudless, the temperature high
were conditions that were extremely
damaging to all crops, checking their
growth, wilting, burning aud withering
them.
Early corn was loo nearly matured to
be much hurt, but late corn failed rapidly
and is in a critical condition for lack or
moisture. Fodder is drying on the
stalks, many of which have not eared,
U/hilp manu rtf tho oaeo Ufa ?*-? fhrt

and on such the grain is shriveling.
The heat and dryness caused cotton to
shed leaves, bolls and forms freely, and
also caused half-grown bolls to oi>en.
Premature opening is general. The tirst
new b;ile was marketed on the Oth.
Picking has begun at a number of i>oints
and will soon be general.
Peas are shedding leaves in places,
but continue promising generally, although
in need of rain. The need of
rain is- general and for all crops. Correspondents
report the general crop outlook
to be gloomy.
Union-?Santuc: Very hot; sunshine
and winds dried lands astonishingfy fast;
all crojis are suffering badly; corn and
cotton deteriorated faster than ever befoi e
known in the same time; corn in some
tields appear as though frost bitten; cotton
shedding to tho top; much corn has
no ears at all; crop growth at a complete
standstill.?E. W. Jeter.
In Destitute Circumstances.
We learn that there is a family 011 tho
hill of the name of Neil who are in destitute
circumstances. The family consisted
of father and mother and live
children. It seems two of the children,
a son of seventeen and a daughter of ten,
were attacked with typho malarial
fever and tin mother and father were
later attacked, anil all four down together
leaving only two girls, one thirteen, the
other live or six years old. It was impossible
for these two children to give
proper attention to the sick ones. The
bread winners of the family being down
with the fever the family soon got in
bad shaiK;. The mother soon died, the
others are still sick. This family is reduced
to very needy circumstances and
their case should appeal to the hearts of
all who are at all charitably inclined. A
petition written by the Mayor, setting
A, ?1. ?1.a t.UUl.U ~ HA.! L.! -I
[U11II nil jrinnoio ^ULIUIUIUII IS UCIII^ C1T"
culated anil every one should resisond
heartily to the call for a contribution.
It will a be surprise to many to know that
a family in such need of assistance is in
our midst. Dr. Douglass is tho physician
in charge, and is doing everything in his
power for the f?offerers. Mrs. Hart, a
neighbor, has rendered what assistance
she could to the ulliicted family. The
object of the petition is to secure a nurse
to give proper attention to the holpless
sick ones. A charitable contribution for
such a cause will bring its reward.
"I was sick and ye ministered unto
me, I was hungry and ye fed me, I was
thirsty and ye gave me drink, I was
naked and >e clothed mo." last us do
what we can for the relief of thoic needy
sufferer*, and do It cheerfully.
