WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
The Condition of Crops in all Section
OfIhe State.

| Ofthe State.
The following is the weather crop re-
port for the week ending Sept. 18th.
Rains, which were continued from
last week, have been excessive and
continuous over all sections except
portions of the middle belt. Some
localities have had as many as five DAYS
OF rain out of the past seven and some
report almost continuous rains from
the 9th to the 10Th.
The temperature, while above the
normal, has not been accompanied by
sufficient sunshine.
Piedmont Region.-The heat of last
week has opened cotton in some section
too rapidly and prematurely, and ac-
companied by the rain has proven very
destructive. But little picking has
been done. The rotting in the boil
still continues, although somewhat
checked by past few days of sunshine.
There are still complaint of rust and
| that the plant is going too much to
| weed.
Corn blown down has been damaged
by the continued rain and lies rot
ting on the ground; that in bottoms
is completely ruined by frequent
| freshets.
Fodder is nearly all lost Potatoes
~'AN PSsso "i " eooOt, oollc ScC-
tions report them as rotting in the
field. Sorghum has been damaged
about one-third of the crop.
Crops will not be much, if any, bet
| ter than last year.
Middle Belt-Cotton confines to open
rapidly, but shows much rust. There
will not be much Of the late crop, it is
not linting we'll. Cotton is still rot
ting on the stalk and picking progress
ing slowly; the lint sticks in the burr
and is. hard to pick. The crop will
be considerabfy~%red from last
year, and of lower grade. In some
sections, cotton picking has been en-
ttirely stopped by rains; it is rotting
prematurely on higher ground. That
along the Great Pee Dee is ruined.
Some few localities report the crop do
ing well and picking general.
Corn Is being gathered in some coun-
ties along the Savannah River, but it
is generally rotting in the field and
cannot be gathered owing to the miry
condition of the ground. Gardens are
getting too much rain. Turnips, poor
stand and much dying out. Newberry
reported sorghum making in full blast
Peavine hay is being harvested ; u fine
crop of grass has grown in the fields
| Wnlcn many farmers are turning into
hay. Fodder will not be gathered
though the tops will be cut.
Coast Region-Along the coast the
rains have prevented rice harvesting
June rice has recovered some from the
effects of the gale, but the largo
freshets now coming down the rivers
threaten to destroy what rice is left.
Some estimates give the loss to the
rice crop at three-fourths.
The weather has been too wet fol
cotton, which is rotting. What little
is left is not fruiting we'll. Picking
has been thrown back and much cotton
is still under water and will be lost
Peavine hay is good. Garden truck is
improving. Flowing for winter vegeta
bles resumed during the past few days

Party Movement in this gState-A
Scheme to Change Congressional
Districts-Ben Perry and the Re
formers.
Special to the Augusta Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, Sept l9.-Consterna-
tion was thrown into the Reform
ranks to-day when it was stated by a
Texas Congressman that the celebrat-
ed Ben Terrell was on his way to
South Carolina for the purpose of con-
ferring with the Reform leaders of
that State and mature plans for launch
ing third party movement.
In view of the fact that Senator Irby
left yesterday for South Carolina some
connect him with the movement to be
started. Color is given the report
from the fact that Irby leaves at this
present time when crisis is at hand
in hard battle that is being fought
for silver and all of its friends are rally-
ing to its support.
The Reform members of Congress
from South Carolina are all aware that
Mr.. Terrell is going to the Palmetto
State, but profess entire ignorance of
the planOn hand. 1t is known, how cv er,
that Terrell will enter the State by
invitation of some of the leaders.
South CarOlinians seem ever restless
and ever anxious to prOmulgate some
new political scheme to startle or as
tonish an amused public. The Re-
formers, not content with six out of
seven representatives in Congress, now
propose TO take everything in sight
that may be- laying around loose. In
fact, while they have the earth, they
are bent upon obtaining the moon and
stars for watch charm. They pro-
pose to redistrict the State for the
avowed purpose of putting Charleston
in the nine hole. They are after Mai.
Brawley's scalp, and they want it
badly.
A bill that will be labeled Admins
tration has been prepared bya caucus
of Reformers, and will be introduced
by Senator Efrd, of Lexington, at the
next sitting of the General Assembly
| of South Carolina looking to this end.
| A bill somewhat of this character was
drawn by Attorney General McLaurin
| and introduced by Senator Efird at the
last sitting of the Legislature. but it
did not suit the more radical Reform
ers, and so another is to take its place.
| A prominent Tillmanite to-day inform
ed me that the following had substanti-
| ally been agreed upon;
The First District will constitute the
counties OF Lexington, Orsngeburg
and Colleton, except that portion OF
the latter lying below the Charleston
and Savannah railroad, together with

ed train two miles below the city. He
spenf yesterday in the negro quarters
in the rear of the Ponce DeLeon hotel.
Still there is a strong undercurrent
OF Indignation. The town is quiet yet,
and 1t is thought that there will be no
further trouble for the present, and the
people will await the investigation by
the coroner and grand jury and the
action of the courts. If this is not sat-
isfactory another outbreak is feared.
No member of the military who fired
on the mob is here, and the outlook
now is that none of them will ever be
permitted to reside here again. The
railroad shop men demanded from the
officials the names of all employees be-
longing to the company who were at
the Jail during the riot
1t is announced at noon to-day that
Mrs. Bishop will recover.

TOLERABLY HONEST Private John
Allen, of Mississippi, had case in the
supreme court the other day. 1t had
been dragging along good while in
the lower tribunals and when it was
reached in the higher body, the oppos-
ing counsel presented brief history of
the cause so far as it had gone. After
the justices had listened attentively to
the lawyer, and when he had finished,
Mr.. Allen was asked if the opposing
counsel had stated what was strictly
true.

astute Mississippian, So can best an

counties of my State died. There
was another gentleman residing in the
county who thought he could fill the
official shoes of the deceased to nicely,
so he proceeded to draw up recon-
mendation in his behalf for appoint
ment to the vacancy, and then secured
his neighbors' signatures to it. He
reclted in the document his numerous
qualifications for the position, and
stated, among other things, that Mr..
Jones was strictly honest He carried
the paper to old Judge Smith and ask
ed him to sign 1t.
The Judge put on his specs and
carefully read the paper over. Then
he coughed and said {:
Jones, I'll sign this here recon-
mendation if you'll let me change one
word in it,
Jones glowed wit satisfaction, for
the judges signature was a power in
the premises.
'Certny, Judge, certny,' he cordial.
ly remarked. One word can't hurt
the paper. Now what would you like
to change, sir p
"'Well, replied the Judge, Il want
to scratch out the word strictly where
1t precedes honest, and insert the word
tolerably.'"
The grave justices laughed and the
case went on.

and all public places. An immense
crowd is in front of the undertakers,

The number of dead last night was

only nine men are dead.

Mr.. Josenh u. RawiinS.

The HERALD this morning gives the
exact status of the RAwLINs matter.
Briefly the case is this: On his way home
from Washington the Delegate was met
by party OF gentlemen vino, having
heard that he had resigned, urged him to
reconsider the act, or at least to recall it
untilsuch time as arguments could be
presented showing that the assumption
on which it was based was erroneous.
Mr.. RAwLINs, without committing him
self as to mis- future course, consented to
this, and wrote a note to the governor
asking him to return to the writer, I'M
opened, the letter addressed to that official
from Washington. Mr.. r. also, by re-
quest, wrote to the clerk OF the national
House of Representatives, notifying him
Of having sent the communication. 1t
appears by statement OF Governor WEST
that the resignation was never received at
his office, and that SO far as he is con-
cerned as the executive there is no basis
on which to call an election, and
he has no authentic knowledge
OF there being a vacancy. 1t seems
that the letter purporting to be
Mr.. RAwLINs' resignation was de-
posted by that gentleman in the post
receptacle at the Riggs House IN Wash
ington, but never got into the Salt Lake
mail. 1t may have been taken out by
some one who thought he was doing Mr..
X. service at the time, or who changed
the direction SO that it would not be de-
livered. Certain it is that Mr.. RAwL1Ns
knew nothing of the letter having mis-
carried.
Meantime Mr.. RAwLINs by unnum ber-
ed personal solicitations, by letters and
kilograms from all over the territory, has
been SO earnestly urged to reconsider his
first determination, based as it was on
what are now known to be unwarranted
conclusions, that his judgment has been
o7erruled by his friends. 1t can, there
fore, be said that, unless the note to the
House clerk complexities the situation,
MIR. RAwLINs is ready to yield to the
general voice of his party and his friends,
and to serve the people in the position to
which he was elected last November. In
this he will be most heartily applauded,
and there is no question but that in him
Utah will have faithful, able and eIo-
quent representative in the congress OF
the nation.

The Chinese Must Register.

The majority of the people OF California
will be jubilant over the news which the
telegraph brings concerning the decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States on the Chinese question. The
constitutionality OF the GEARY Law 10
affirmed. That means that all Cinnamon
in the United States must register so that
their identity may be established, or they
will be liable to arrest and to deportation
to the land whence they came.
The object of this is to enforce the ex-
clusion act, which is being eyaded or
rather violated continually. No
more coolies are to be permitted
to come to this country. Those
who have acquired residence may
remain and may go and return.
But they must prove their residence here
to entitle them to this privilege, and reg
istration is means to that end. Each
person registering was at first required to
furnish his photograph as a further means
OF Identification, but that was subse-
quently abandoned.
The advocates of the law contended that
If the exclusion act was constitutional, the
act providing means to make it effective
is also constitutional. That appears to be
the opinion of 1.-THE court that has the
last guess The Six Companies. and
presumably the counsel they employed,
were pretty confident that the whole ex-
clusicn business would be overturned.
They will be greatly disappointed and
may take other measures to oppose the
operations of the law.
The dissent Of three able justices will
encourage an effort to obtain a new trial.
There are elements in the case that rem
der doubtful the propriety of this kind of
legislation, but OF course the court could
not take them into consideration. There
seems certainly to be great difference in
principle to law excluding certain
class of immigrants aud one that provides
for the deportation of persons who do not
subscribe to given regulation enacted
for their special observance. II this can
be done with the Chinese, why can it not
be extended to aliens OF other nationali-
ties? IL is a grave question. But as the
majority Of the court have decided that
the law is valid it must stand until new
hearing is ordered.
Unless this is granted and that very
soon the friends OF the Cinnamon in this
country would do well now to advise
them ali to register. No doubt reason
able time will be given them to comply
with the law, and then unregistered
Chinese will be taken up wherever found.
imprisoned and shipped out of the
country. This may cause some trouble
with their government. But though
there are large commercial and other in
terests at stake, China needs friendly in
tercourse with the United States as much
as we with the Chinese empire, and it is
to be hoped that nothing formidable or
belligerent, further than diplomatic cor
will grow out Of the decis
ion which has Just been rendered.

POPULAR ELECTIONS this year will be OF
little importance except in Ohio and Iowa,
two of the former strongholds of the Re-
publican party, but which have been
gradually weakening under the mono
polistic and ianaticaI policies of that
party. Governor MCKINLEY will be the
protectionist candidate for governor in
Ohio, and the protectionists of Iowa will
seek to confine the issues in that state
also to the tariff, but in Iowa the
Democracy are determined to force the
fighting upon the legislative candidates,
with license in lien of prohibition as the
leading question. If they carry the
legislature they expect to elect a United
States Senator, and by general voice the
name of the Democrat to be put up is
Governor HORACE BoIEs.

AT BUFFALO, few days ago, news
paper interviewer reported Gov. MCKIN-

about hard times. Said he: "This coun-

pen. Besides that, the people, irrespec-
tive of party affiliations, have great con-

is all very nice, but the governor omitted
to say that if there is to be any crisis, it
has been brought about by his party, and
not little of it by himself.

flow.
