FROM RANALEBURG, N. C..

RANALEBURG, N. c., August 1.-THE
prospect of especially agricultural
in our locality, is anything else but fattering
at the present time. We are now in the
midst of protracted and burning drought,
with hot sun and drying breeze, which has
continued nearly all the time since the first
of May. From that date we have had no
rain, except partial showers, confined to mar
row strips, which have had no telling effect
on the crops, even where they fell. The corn
on uplands is withered and dead, and many
fields cannot make the seed planted, while
even the bottom lands cannot, at furthest,
produce more than half crop. The wheat
crop was not full one, and the oat crop was
a total failure, except that sown last fall, or
on bottom land.
Cotton in this section will also be failure.
The best farms cannot make more than a
fourth crop, under the most favorable circum.
stances presented, while late. planted red land
will be an entire failure. Some of our far.
mers are offering to compromise their guano
debts by offering their crops in liquidation,
and the offers are not accepted. This looks
like trade is rather dull. Everything, in
fact, is at stand still. The health Of the
country, however, is as good as usual at this
season of the year. THEo.

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
YORKVILLE. S. c.:

The latest intelligence we have from the
President is discouraging in the extreme, and
the possibility is that ere this reaches many
of our readers-loth as we are to make the
gloomy prediction will be dead. While
from the first, we have INDUCED the hope
that his case was properly and truthfully rep
resented to the public, we confess to the fear
often expressed, tina. much was concealed by
the brief "oficial bulletins" invariably clos.
ing by announcing pulse, temperature and
respiration as in no more satisfactory condl-
ton than at the date of the preceding bulle'
tin. This, coupled with the fact that Dr.
Bliss was recently poisoned by some of the
"laudable" pus discharged from the wound,
from the effect of which his hand is in
sling, was not calculated to inspire great con-
6dence of ultimate recovery. The continued
loss of strength which must have ensued, the
continued high pulse and the abnormal respl'
ration for 45 days, are stubborn facts which,
to the unprofessional mind, 60 far toward dis
proving the mere assurances OF the physicians
that the President will recover.
According to the bulletins of Monday he
did not rest as we'll as usual on Sunday night;
his sleep was not sound, and he awoke at
short intervals. At the Monday morning
dressing, while the discharge Of pus was tree
and of good character, his pulse became more
frequent reaching 1lS, though his tempera'
ture fell to SO. In the afternoon the irrita'
bility of his stomach returned, and between l
and $50 o'clock he vomited three times. At
8 o'clock the indications presented still
worse condition, the pulse having run from
13O at the evening dressing to $50 after the
dressing of the wound. Not word OF en-
couragement could be gained from the White
House, nor could the doctors be seen. AT
1906 Tuesday morning, DR.. Agnew informed
Mrs. Garfield that she must prepare tor the
worst, an hour previously DR.. Reyburn hav'
ing said to correspondent that the Presi-
dents condition was graver than at any time
yet
Such is the tenor Of our latest intelligence,
which, it must be confessed, gives not one ray
of hope.

to be endured, so she summoned the conduc-
tor and ordered that the train be taken back
to Louisville, or to the nearest town where a
dentist was to be found. The conductor de-
INJURED, and finally compromised the matter
by stopping the train FIVE minutes while the
woman's husband ran back to hunt up the
teeth. When this time expired he had not
returned, and the train was started on without
him. Forthwith the wife sought the conduc-
tor and demanded that it be stopped, that she
might toff and stay with her husband. The
conductor hesitated. The wife remarked,
"Stop this train and put me off, or I'll put
bullet through you" Here was business, and
the train was backed to where the husband
was, and he got on the train again, but with
out the missing treasure Then the wife in,
sisted that the train be "turned around and
90: back to Louisville" This, the conduc-
tor having locked himself in the baggage
car to avoid the threatened bullet, refused to
do, and the train went on with its toothless
but irate passenger. On reaching the next
station an offer of reward for the recovery OF
the teeth was telegraphed back, and they
were found and sent on by the next train.

NOTES FROM HICKORY GROVE.

NOTES FROM HICKORY GROVE.
HICKORY GROVE, S. c., August 8.-A note
from Western York may not cons under the
head of news proper, but I hope it may not
prove entirely uninteresting. "Paul may
plant, pollos may water" but the increase
came from BOTTLES"
I was invited to picnic at Hickory Grove
Academy by the principal, Professor Bottles,
on the 9Th instant. Upon my arrival, l
found large assemblage of young ladies and
gentlemen, who were passing pleasant time,
the enjoyment of which was considerably
heightened by the arrival of the Bullock 9
Creek Band. The spirited strains Of music
inspired the timid men, who acted the part Of
gallants with true knightly style, and the
hours glided rapidly by until dinner was an
nounced, when all repaired to the table,
trembling under the weight of delicious
repast.
After dinner each couple selected a shady
nook, where they discussed topics most con-
genial to their inclinations, the band mean
while discoursing elegant music.
The next feature was the address Of j. G.
Chambers, Esq, complimenting the ladies,
the music and the dinner; and here let me
say that 1 will wager dollar that Hickory
Grove and Vicinity can produce more pretty
ladies and finer dinners than any other sec.
ton of York county.
The affair passed off splendidly, nothing
occurring throughout the day to mar the fes-
tivities of the pleasant occasion. Bob.

NORTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- Near Beaver Dam, in Union county, on
Friday night, Sherrod L. Mullis was stabbed
with pocket knife and killed by Jesse
Coker. The murderer made his escape.
Official returns from 73 counties iu North
Carolina give 98,965 majority against prohi.
bition, with % counties still to be heard
from. Haywood gives 81 majority for pro-
hibition. So far it stands alone.
On Thursday of last week, Rutherford
county voted subscription of $4,000 to the
Spartanburg and Rutherford Railroad by a
large majority, variously estimated at from
600 to 1900.
- The cotton crop on the line of the North
Carolina Railroad is very poor, presenting
disagreeable contrast to the vigorous plants
fully fruited, seen in Wayne, and below. The
crops off the road are better, but the best esti'
mates place the crop at two.thirds of an aver.
age.
- The Sergeant Manufacturing Company,
of Greensboro, have been erecting new build
ings and making additions to their heretofore
large works, and when the Improvements now
making are finished it will be one Of the most
complete machine shops in the whole South
ern country.
- Mr.. w. j. Best, who signs himself "Pres,
ident Western N. C. Railroad Co" publishes
card, setting up his claim as such officer
and forbidding the issuing of bonds by the
Richmond and Danville combination. into
whose possession the road seems to have pass
ed from Mr.. Best. This is probably the toe.
sin of a legal war in earnest.
- The proposition for a subscription of
$4,000 by Lincoln COUNT in aid Of the
North Carolina Midland Railroad, was de-
feated at the polls, the alleged reason being
that the subject had not been sufficiently can
vassed before the election. The county com.
missioners will be petitioned to order another
election at an early day. Cleveland county
voted in favor of subscription of $25, 900 by
majority of 915.
The Baptist Church at Gastonia, has
adopted a series of resolutions among which
is this THAT if any of our members should,
from and after the date of the adoption of
these resolutions, make, sell, buy or give away
alcoholic or malt liquors as a beverage; or
should knowingly furnish grain, fruit or any
other material for their manufacture or sale,
or in any way aid or assist in the manufac'
ture or sale of said liquors, or in any way,
knowingly, give aid and comfort thereto, or
be engaged as storekeeper in still.house, or
visit any place where ardent spirits are sold
for the purpose of buying or drinking as d
beverage, if therefore, after die admonition
they should persist in so doing, we positively
will not hold such in cburch-fellowship."

The Columbia correspondent of the Ne,us
and Courier says that "Governor Hagood
will offer, in a proclamation which will be
published in day or two, reward of $500
for the arrest with proof to convict of John
Mellow, the murderer of Deputy Collector
Brayton. Collector Brayton will also offer a
personal reward of $500, and the United
States Government have already offered $500.
Mellow is believed in revenue and official cir.
cles to be still lurking in the mountains of his
section. This is also believed in Oconee
county. The revenue office has information
that his brother-in law visits the trains at
Central daily to ascertain if the officers are
after him."

WEATHER AND CROPS IN THE STATE.

The Union Times says: "The average con.
dition Of the crops of corn and cotton in
Union is about the same in every county in
the State, so far as we can judge from pub
lished accounts" ...
In Sumter the drought has been very Sc.
we're, but there were general rains all over
the county on Sunday of last week, since
which time planters are somewhat more hope
full, though the crops have already been ma
terially cut of.
The Abbeville Press and Banner says
Notwithstanding the fact that in many
sections of the county the crop is the shortest
that we have ever had, the general average
will not be as bad as one might be led to
believe by looking over the dry places"
The Orangeburg Democrat says "The rain
on Sunday afternoon and night is the first
that has penetrated the ground for months.
It is, however, too late to do much good. The
forms are all dropping from the cotton, and
corn, as general thing, is failure already"
. The Florence Times says "The drought
has ended. On Sunday last good rain Wis
tied this section, but it came too late to do
much good. One.thrd of crop of cotton,
and scarcely that much corn, will be the av-
erage."
In the Gainesville section of Darlington
county, the corn CROP as a general thing, is
beyond redemption. Cotton will improve
great deal, but there will not be half crop
raised. The prospects at present are encour'
aging for peas and potatoes.
The Clarendon Enterprise says: "On last
Sunday nearly every section of our county
was blessed with good rain, and we hope
that the discouraged farmers will now cheer
up, for there is lots of "come out" in late
corn, and with favorable seasons the fruit
that cotton puts on by the first of next month
will mature and make white cotton"
The Coleton Press says "The rice crops
on that section of the Edisto River, known
as the Pom Pom, are splendid. The planters
all say that they have never had better. The
corn planted early is also fine. Sea Island
cotton crops in this section we're never better,
and watermelons and excursions by steamer,
and the not infrequent tournament, are the
order of the day"
The Cokesbury Argus says: "Rains have
fallen over greater portion OF Abbevllle
county during the past week, and in the
White Hall section, where they have had no
rain of any consequence for four months, they
nave been blessed with good seasoning show
