The South Carolina weather SER
vice furnishes the following con-
corning the effect of the weather
on the various crops duriug the

Candidate John Sherman strongly re-
minds one OF tho position Of the down
east candidate for office who laid down
his platform to the voters from the stump
with the remark: "Them's my senti-
ments. hope they will suit; but, IL
they don't suit, they IAN bo altered"
That Is just Senator Sherman's attitude
toward the Chinese question. His course
didn't suit California. He proceeds to
alter 1t as rapidly and as radically as
possible. Not content with this, no also
writes a letter to o gentleman 10 Nash

that his assault upon tho south did not
mean half whdti it appears to on It's face,

A Texas Advertising Scheme.

Our State Is not only being kept
out OF sight and mind, but there is
an evident and general disposition
among people who arc IN it to leave
IL. Somebody has sent us n slip
from n Texas newspaper containing
the circular sent every month by
tho Secretary Of State to each
county, giving the names and adj
dresses Of prospective immigrants
and persons seeking residence in
Texas. Among them we find the
names OF Samuel DibMe, Of Or
angcburg, Representative In Con-
gress; NJ. =. Howell, of WATERFORD,
state Senator; l.. NJ. Trip and
Terry & Scatter, of Walterboro': II.
b. Evans, w. II. Evans and B.. w.
Ball, Of Laurens; w. ID. Simpson,
Columbia; Bennett G. Bisscll, Char
lesion. With men Of that kind
seeking opportunities to leave the
state; with hundreds Of farmers of
both colois going West every year,
and scores Of young men Of talent
and energy leaving as fast rs they
grow up, we should seek some
method of replacing the drain on
our population and bringing new
blood and people to I'LL the places
Of those who are going and have
gone.-Greenvillc News.
