Crops, Weather, Base Ball at Santuc.

SANTUC, Aug. 14lh.-We had q very hard
rain and the severest wind of the year this
morning, beginning at o'clock. The rain
fall was nearly inches in one and half
hours. Corn and cotton wss generally blown
fiat on the ground.
The favorable weather the past three or
four weeks has been great benefit to all
crops. Cotton has grown fast. and young
corn has improved much, but peas are not so
promising as at the corresponding period
last year. Fodder pulling is on hand now
and very likely good many farmers would
have started today, but the rain inter fered.
In places il is beginning to burn.
Fruit drying here has been in order Of
late, but the cloudy damp weather has inter
fered somewhat.

DIspENsARY FIGURES The FIRsr MONTH.
The first statement Of the State Dispenser
was given out by Governor Tillman last Sat
urday. 1t includes three statements, one of
equipping and running the State Dispeusary
for the month ending August lst last. which
itemized statement is published in full
below.
The other sheets show the sale of liquors
to the County Dispensers by counties. These
chow that the reports Of purchases for the
State Dispensary have been considerably ex-
aggerated.
The total amount Of liquors purchased
other than beer was 88.587.67. The total
amount of beer purchased was $4,05l. so,
making q total purchase Of liquors of all
kinds Of $92, ,639.17.
The total sales to County Dispensers has
been, up to August l, S45 5,534.14.
What the sales Of the several County Dis

ALL RoT AND BosH.--The idle talk that
some of the Republican journals Of the State
and county are indulging In il enough TO
make the heart Of o Democrat tired. They
know full well that to their party alone is
the credit due for the financial condition of
the country to-day. With unwise legislation
extravaganza in the management of the gov
ernment and q billion-dollar Congress, the
condition of the country at the present
time is only what might be expected and is
not at all due to the fact that q Democrat
has displaced Republican ut Washington.
II is idle talk on the part of the Republican
press and their leaders.
1t took Harrison's administration four
years to produce the present financial situa-
tion and any sensible man knows that it is
expecting too much Of President Cleveland to
rebuild in three months what it took the Re-
publicans four years to make. Besides, il is
an old axiom that IL is much easier to
destroy than construct. We now have the
Presidents message before US. IL is straight
10 the point and let not Congress waste time
in useless display Of ora'ory. Action, and
that quickly, is what the country expects
and what IL must have. Last year the peo-
pie saw the impending crisis and they knew
il they reelected Harrison IL would be ten
times worse than il is now. They had grea [
confidence in Cleveland. They elected him
and he will save the country .-BUsINEss, IN

Governor Tillman says he sees no reason
why as soon as things get into working
order this month, the county dispensaries
cannot sell at retail 10000 gallons q month.
He says under the former license plan the
retail sales amounted to over million gal-
Ions. He says he has always contended that
the amount of revenue depended entirely on
the number of dispensaries established. He
says ne does not now think under the condi-
tion of things considering the number of dis
pensaries established the State will max 9
that half million of dollars profit for the irst
six months, but he thinks the profits will BE-
that great for the first twelve months, when
the system is in full operation. He says the
operation of the law has reduced the con-
sumption Of liquor in this State by one-third,
and probably more. The operation of the
dispensary law in Edgefeld, where he has
closely observed it, indicates that there is a
lsrge shortage in the consumption of liquor,
and he says he is glad of it. Governor Till
man concludes thus "Consider ring the
number OF rocks, stumps, ipjunctions, etc.,
that we have been stumbling over in the
last thirty days, consider that the dispeu-
sary system is already bowling success"
