We have recently returned, says the
Warranton, n, c., Flag, from short visit
to the Valley Of Virginia, where from our
own observation, and all the information we
could receive, the general aspect of the wheat
crop is more unpromising than it has been
for several years

"a Toronto writer says that large
quantities Of wheat are still in the hands OF
the Upper Canada farmers, probably not
loss than 100000 bushels. They have
no: had the good sense to sell when prices
were the highest. The extent of land uu-
der crop is greater than at any prerions
time.
We regret to learn though the Caro-
lima Spartan that serious difficulty occur

SpG,tun learns that DR.. Sims, Of Pinckney
Ferry, shot Lawrence Goss, hotel keeper, in

slight. We hope the latter will prove cor
rect.
The Carolina Times has been shown
a counterfeit note, of the denomination of
tea dollars, upon the Bank of Georgetown,
South Carolina, purporting to have been is
sued July, 1916, and numbered 4475 D.

-WAsH1NGToN June 14.-Dr. String
fellow arrived here to-day direct from Kan
sas. He says the reports from there are
greatly exaggerated; that before he left, the
Free State men, who were the principal agi-
tai9rs, woro leaving in large numbers, and
that peace and quiet would very soon be re-
stored He says, further, that there had
been some disturbances, in which few per-
sons had been killed, but that the reports Of
fierce conflicts, in which large parties We're
engaged on each side, were utterly untrue.
He called on the PRECEDENT and narrated to
him the existing state of things there. DR..
Stringfellow is Of opinion that they will set
tie their difficulties, provided they can keep
ont the outsiders, who, the moment they
come into the Territory, invariably create an
excitement.
-A 4 short visit into the country during
the past week, enabled US to form some idea
of the prospect for crops in the sectious
through which we passed Owing to the
backwardness Of the spring, they are certain
ly little later than usual, but both cotton
and corn present a very healthy and yigor-
ous appearance, and seem to lie in fine
growing condition. The late refreshing
showers, where they have fallen, and the
warm weather, arc operating finely upon all
vegetation, and at this stage of the season,
We do not think that farmers generally have
any room TO complain. The prospect for
on oat crop i: very good, and We believe
that fair crops CT early wheat have been
made. The rains we understand have rath-
cr partial, and some sections Of our District
are still needing it very rluch.-LaNcas-

The Sound dues question is producing q
great deal Of discussion abroad. \ letter
from Berlin, in the Manchester Guardian,
says there is strong party in Prussia which
IS dc&irous that the Government, instead Of
i,il2ving the example Of Russia, Sweden
and Oldenburg, in regard to the capitaliza-
tiou Of the soaud dues, should abstain from
any present decision, and should eventually
take tue same course as the United States.
