Condition of Crops in sonth Carolina.

The reports of County correspondents
to the State Department of Agriculture,
August lat, show decline in the condi-
ton Of cotton from the previous month.
During the early part of July the rains
were very heavy, and this following the
excessive wet weather of June, caused
the plant TO be very tender and succulent.
After the frat week in July the weather
was hot, dry and sultry, aud the sudden
change caused the plant to cast fruit and
leaves, and shedding ia reported very
generally in all parts of the State.
Great danger to the crop was apprehen-
ded until near the close of the month,
when seasonable showers relieved the
anxiety of the farmers to some extent.
The plant was sustained mostly by sur-
face roots and in order to remove the
grass it was necessary to plough close to
the plant, and in some cases the surface
roots were destroyed. The growth of
the plant was consequently checked and
some damage necessarily done. Since it
has been freed of grass and has had the
benefit of the rains in the latter part of
the month, it is said to be taking on q
better and more vigorous growth, with
prospects for an average crop brighten.

son. Three correspondents in the lower
part of the State mention the appearance
of the caterpillar; but one of them, who
has not seen the worm, doubts if it ia the
genuine cotton caterpillar. The condi-
ton is reported in Upper Carolina at rs.
Middle Carolina at IS, Lover Carolina
at 92-an average for the State of "a
against 70 for the same period last year.
The July report showed the probable
damage to corn on river and creek bot
toms, and it is confirmed by the later re.
ports. In many places the crops were
destroyed by the floods too late TO replant,
aod fields that on the frat of June
promised an abundant yield were abau.
doned. The seasons have been remarka.
bly, favorable for early planted upland
corn, and 1t ia estimated that il will give
above an average yield. Late planted
and that planted on oat stubble suffered
severely from excessive rains during
June and July and the drought that fol.
lowed, and was reported below an aver
age on the lss Of August. The general
condition for the whole crop is reported:
For Northern Carolina, 73; Middle
Carolina, 81; Lower Carolina, 9S-an
average for the State of 81 against 75 for
the same time last year.

sir, have said, and do not deny saying,
that If the South in Congress had held

shaped Federal Legislation, and this
advocated, not in antagonism TO the
National Democracy, but because
loved the South and my dear old State
better than / did the Democracy Of

cheers.
Mr.. President, ! need not detain the
Convention longer. This fight is ended,
and it has been fought upon principle
and with honesty. Congressional honors
have again been contided to me. My

brief speech.
Mr.. Pope, of Newberry, offered u

many courtesies shown the delegates and
officers of the Convention for the able
manner in which they had conducted the
meeting, and it was adopted by rising

n CORRECTION.

In the discussion of the South Caroli.
ma University we were mistakenin treat.
Ing the sll,000 fox the Agricultural
College as part of the $4,000 appro-
priated to the UniverSity. It Is In ad-
dition to that sum. The eleven thousand
dollars Is part of the intsTsst on the
State debt, and is paid directly to the
University without an appropriation. 1t
does not appear in the appropriation bill,
and therefore we overlooked It In our
previous article. We are anxious that
these questions shall be settled upon their
true merits, and therefore make the cor.
rection before the primary election. The
principle, however, is the same. If o

ought to have an efficient one, and the
money appropriated to it is not more
than is needed and beneficial to the

EDITOR INTELLIaENCER: Rock Mills
has carefully examined your. comments
on her resolutions on Higher Education

excuse US when We say you have failed
altogether to satisfy us. It does not
satisfy us for you to say, -"lf man

do so easier than by voting against the
University" And again Whether our
people favor 1t or not, the University is
here to stay" &c.
As far as Rock Mills fs concerned, abe
desires no Influential member In the
Legislature If 1t requires q surrender of
his principlea aud thatof his constituents
to obtain It, or any act upon his part
that will work injustice to our people.
We could but despiss and hate such a

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.

The Convention of the Democratic
Party in the Third Congressional Dis
itict, which met in Seneca City on the
sixth inst, concluded its session on last
Thursday, after having taken Que hun.
dred and ten viva rocc ballote and thir.
teen caucus ballots, making in all 1923
ballots. Col. D. Wyatt Aiken was re-.
nominated OH this ballot by vote of %
to IA for Col. George Johns!one, Of
Newberry. The vote was mado up 40
followc: For Col. AiEen-Abbegille IL,
Anderson Q, Pickens and Oconee l.
For Col. Johnstone-Newberry 8, Oco.
nee and Anderson 1.
Mr.. p. X. McCully, the only Ander-
son delegate who voted for Col. John.
stone, seconded the motion to make tho
nomination unanimous. The candidates
were all present in Seneca during the
Convention, Messrs. Aiken, Johnstone
and Bowen arriving there on Tuesday
night, and Mr.. Murray on Wednesday
morning. The two last named gentle.
men were telegraphed for by their friends.
The Convention was harmonious through.
out, and the result was accepted in q
good spirit by the candidates and their
friends. The result is doubtless highly
gratifying to Col. Aiken and his friends,
as it Is high compliment to his efEi-
cheney and popularity, this being his fifth
term, which will cover period of ten
years service in Congress. The people
of Anderson County have always liked
Col. Aiken, though upon some things
they do not agree with him. The An.
derson delegation in the Convention
made splendid fight for Mr.. Murray,
and secured for him at one time the next
highest vote 10 Col. Aiken's, lacking
only ak votes of nominating him.
When Mr.. Murray's vote fell back his
name was withdrawn and the vote Of
Anderson settled the contest as stated
above. There will be no sulking in
Anderson over the result, but Col. Aiken
will receive the same warm and enthusi.
asiic support which has always been
accorded him In this County. He will
be elected by an overwhelming majority,
even If he should have opposition, which
we do not now anticipate.
