THE GROWING CROPS.
South Carolina.

In Newberry the weather is showery, with
good rains in many places.
The Abbeyllle Press says: "Duri0g The
mast few days we have been favored with re-
ireshiDg rains, and are pleased to learn tnat
they have been very general. Sections OF tne
district have suffered severely lor WanG Vi
rain, and 1t was generally much needed. The
corn crops have already suffered, but fruitful
seasons henceforth will do much to relnstate
them. Abbevile seems to have suffered more
this season than any OF her sisters, and our
exchanges generally In the State report hne
growing crops.
The williamsburg Star says: 1--WE learn that
In some parts of the county the crops are

that the crops were looking very promising,
especially the cotton"

average crop may be expected; whilst In other
portions of Edgeheld-a large belt across Lne
entire county-the cotton crop is, indeed, un-
usually fine, and the husbandmen are highly
elated with their prospect OF realizing large
yield and handsome profits IN the harvest

corn were never more precarlous tnan at tnis
time. The dry weather of April retarded the
growth of cotton. and, with the late rains, the
cotton and corn are both needing work at the
same time. The result ID that the crop is more
uncertain than we have ever seen IL, as, on
one place, the cotton is being WORKED 10 tne
neglect of the corn, and on another the corn
te the neglect of the cotton, making one OF
the other suffer upon nearly every farm. The
cotton is small, and, II the next two weeks
are not favorable, the crop will present lair
showing for q one-half crop-PanoM star.
We learn from some OF our farming friends
that the crops of both corn and cotton are are
doing very well-indeed, are better than last
year at same time. Altogether things look
hopeful, though the dull season has SET IN IN
dead earnest, and the merchants complain OF
no business, and we all complain OF no money.

We hear favorable accounts of the pros

which ls doing well. "The Ridge" Whicn Is
some three miles In length, Is divided lnto
