The Weather and the Crops

The weekly weather and crop bulle-
tin of tn e South Carolina weather ser
vice, IN cooperation with the United
States Signal Service, for the past week
was issued Saturday afternoon and it is
as follows, giving much information
to the farmers in the various sections
of the State:
The rainful for the week appears to
have been very unevenly distributed,
some sections reporting none, while
others report frequent showers, and
in a few localities rains have been ex-
cessive.
The temperature for five days was op-
preSS:Ve, with an average amount of
sunshine, and was beneficial to all crops
except in those portions of the State
where no rains have fallen, and in those
instances the extreme heat has tended
to dry the soil and greatly fastened the
drought TO the injury of the cotton crop
Ihe cotton crop was not injured as
much as was at first supposed by the
continued rains in the latter part of
July, when rust was developed in some
localities, but in some places it has a
yellow cast and has stopped taking on
fruit
In the northern and western portion
OF the State, as general thing the con-
ditlon of the crop is not above seventy
five per cent, and may fall below that
figure. The early cotton seems not to
have taken the usual quantity of fruit.
In the southern and western port1 on
the seasons have been more favorable
for the full development of the plant.
and quite full average yield may be
expected. The late cotton has grown
rapidly, and the plant is advanced to
yield anything like full crop.
The corn crop Is the finest that has
been produced for years, and the farm
ers are now stripping the blades, and
large quantities have been cured in fine
condition.
The weather was unexceptionally IA
vorable for the growth Of the tobacco
plant, and it is unusually fine both in
quantity and quality; about two thirds
OF the crop has been harvested. One
farmer reports that the yield is about
1900 pounds per acre. and that this
class of tobacco sells in the market from
fifteen to twenty cents per pound; it is
very superior for wrappers. being a
bright yellow.
The condition of the rice is reported
gond; some little complaint is being
made that the stalk does not look as
vigorous rs usual. There have been no
freshets or storms to ipjure the crop SO
far. The early rice will soon be ready
for harvesting.

Horrible Heat.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.--Ninety -four in
the shade. That is what Trustworthy
thermometers registered on lower
Broadway at noon. This is the hottest
day OF the season and the hottest Aug
ust day in twenty years. The effect
upon the city is far more serious than
most people imagine, for people are
overcome by hundreds and actual sun
stroke hetals scores The aggravation
of diseases by heat is great, and chill
dIen and teething little ones suffer un.
told misrrles. Hospitals are crowded
with poor supplicants for treatment
for ailments general Ell by the weather
and the stats OF physicians are over
worked and many attendants are fit
subjects for treatment themselves.
Sun stroke has carried off u ,lozen per-
sons in the last twenty-four hours and
there are scores of others in hospitals.
The suffering caused Ly the heat has
beer intensified by VeritaDie plague
OF mosquitoes. Sunday night these lit
tie pests made their appearance by the
million and drove all persons in doors.
The oldest inhabitants declared they
had never experienced anything of the
kind before, and wondered what they
had done to be SO afflicted. At 2 o'clock
this afternoon thunder storm relieved
the OppreSSiveneSS somewhat.

a lSaCe War In Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 16.-The race
war which has been going on between
the factions in st. Ladislas Roman
Catholic church broke out again this
morning. At 1890 o'clock the police
were notified that crowd of over 100
IIungarians had surrounded the house
of Priest John Martvony. The police
found the interior of the house in a state
of utmost confusion. The floor was
strewn with stones and bricks, and
nearly every pane Of glass in the house
was broken in. The priest said that he
was awakened about midnight by a
crash, and heavy stone fell directly OH
hrs bed. AS soon as the first stone was
thrown the air was rent with cries of
xiii him. Murder the Slay priest" etc.
and during the uproar several shots
were fired.

were sent out, and as they approached
the house, the mob dispense in the
darkness and quiet was restored.

1t seems to me that the interest
which we represent here TO day is one
that Is entitled at least to fair considc-
ration from the one fact that in inter
national exchange we furnish the larg-
est value annually exported from the
United States to the markets of the
world. The cotton crop of this coun-
try pays larger part OF The money for
the goods imported into this country
than any other, the breadstuffs coming
next, the provision crop next and pc.

sort, and next to that coming tobacco.
We furnish very nearly one-thrd of
the entire export value in the article
OF cotton alone. and exceed breaGstuirs
by very considerable amount. Now
we are certainly entitled when we send
our cotton crop for foreign consump-
ton to have a tair chance if we desire
to make purchases of fore gn articles IN

SOME RAIN SUGGESTIONS.
Various Ways to Coax Water From
the Clouds.
From Chambers Journal,


In the Caucasian province Of Georgia,
where drought has lasted long, marriage,
able girls are yoked in couples with a yoke
on their shoulders, priest holds the rens.
and thus harnessed they wade through
rivers, puddles and marches, praying.
screaming, weeping and laughing.
In q district OF Pennsylvania, when the
ground is parched with drought, some girls
strip themselves naked, and, led by an older
woman, who is also naked, they steal har-
row and carry it across the field to brook,
where they set it ahoat. Next they sit on
the harrow and keep a tiny fame burning
on each corner OF it for an hour. Then they
leave the harrow In the water and go home.
A similar rain charm is resorted to in
India; naked women drag plow across the
field by night. IL is not said that they
plunge the pillow into stream or sprinkle it
with water. But the charm could hardly
be complete without it. Sometimes the
charm works through an animal.
To procure rain the Peruviaas used to set
black sheep in fe!d, pour chica over it
aud give IL nothing TO eat till rain fell.
In a district OF Sumatra all the women of
the village, scantily clad, go to the river,
wade into it aud splash each other with the
water. A black cat is thrown into the water
aud made to swim about for while, then
allowed TO escape to the bank, pursued by
the splashiBg of the women
In these cases the color of the animal is
part of the charm; being black it will
darken the sky with rain clouds. So the
Bee luanas burn the stomach of an OK at
evening because they say, "black smoke
will gather the clouds and cause the rain to
come" Tmores sacrifice a black pig for
rain, white or red one for sunshine. The
