The Crops.

The weather continues warm and dry, fa-
vorablo in every way to the saving of hny
and the gathering Of all field crops. We
believe two thirds crop of cotton will be
made in this county and more than that of
corn for the area planted On lowlands corn
is up to the average and but little was planted
on upland. Most of the cotton has been
gathered and in many fields all is open.
Generally both cotton and corn are proving
better than was anticipated, and in other
counties there seems to be moro hopcfu |
feeling than existed some weeks back.
Reports of tho cotton crop, compiled by
different commercial houses in tho leading
cities, and based on inquiries from the ma
jority of the counties of the Cotton States,
make the average crop from G5 to IS per cent
of the yield per acre for last year. This
would at first yiew indicate large deficiency,
but it must be remembered there was sur
plus last year and farther that for this year
the area planted has bcon largely increased
This increased aroa will 60 largely to make
up for the short crop per acre and make the
general yield nearly up to that of last year
This ia whnrn +h~ -. oms,tiler area has been
lett for provisions, causing cotton to remain
low even in the face of short crop per acre
and tho necessaries Of life to be high.
The larger area given to cotton has also
increased tho consumption of fertilizers and
tho cost to tho farmer for labor in cultiyatinp
the crop, increasing his debts and expenses
without remuncrating return. We believe,
however, that the general yield of cotton will
bc largely short of last year, and that when
debts for fertilizers and supplies have been
paid OFT the price will 70 up. Nearly all tho
cotton in this section has boon gathered and
most OF it is now on the market. The pres
sure to pay off liens forces it into market
and keeps the prico down. AS n general
rule it is best to sell cotton as fast as it is
glnned but We think those who can afford to
hold their cotton this year will probably get
O better price towards spriDp

The Anderson County Fair.

The Anderson correspondent of the Charleston
Neacs and Courier makes the following remarks
upon the fair at that place last week:
Well, our fair is over and was success both
in point of exhibits and attendance. 1t is esti-
mated that there were two thousand people on
the ground Friday. Among the exhibits were
wagons and buggics manufactured by Reed g.
Stevens, Of our town. In the field crop de-
partment the display was really fine, consider
ing the exceedingly dry year. The poultry ex-
hibitlon was also good. In tho main building
the display was simply grand There were n
great many articles entered and not single one
but what was good. Everything shown would
be crediable to any fair anywhere. There were
fruits, pickles. preserves, jcllics, wines, honey
butter, hams and great many other things in
this department. Then there were quilts, rugs
and spreads and al kinds of fancy work, en-.
bioidery, &C., any single article of which would
be worthy of special mention The display of
paintings, drawings, &C., in the art department
was also excellent. In previous years there
have been more entries in the stock department.
but the exhibition Ills year was large enough.
and some of tho horses would be hard to beat.
The glass ball shooting attracted good deal of
attention. Tho music was furnished by tho
Palmetto Bind of our town, and it did them
great credit. 1t is to be hoped that these
annual exhibitions may grow in interest with
our people, for their influence for good is inesti
mablc.

following extract from letter written from
Batesburg, S. g.:
captain Bates obtained ono dozen cGrp
from Commissioner Butler two years ago
which he put into small muddy pond, sur
rounded by weeds and shrubbery. This af-
ternoon he determined to drain off tho pond
and invited several of his friends to witness
the failure or success of his carp enterprise,
as he never knew aftor ho put them in
whether they lived or not. The realization
of his success exceeded his most sangune
hopes. lilo got eight of tho carp first, but

aging about one pound. It seems that the
original twelve spawned in the Spring Of
1880 and last Spring, and the young ones.

When tho dozen were put in two years ago
they were only two or three inches long. but
the eight Of them found to day average

to be only half grown. AS our eyes bchcld

not doubt the story of Jonah and the big fish

admiration and astonishment at the complete
success of German carp. resolving to get the
seed Of tho wonderful fish and raise their
meat without trouble and in abundance. In
fact wo never sow lot Of finer fish and be-
