COTTON IN CAROLINA.
Director Bauer of the United States
Weather Bureau States It's Condition.

Columbia, 5. c., May The past
week has not been a decisive or decided
one, although the prevailing weather con-
ditions were on the whole unfavorable
except in few counties, notably Barn
well, where the reports were of uni
form favorable character. The same IS
true Of certain other more limited regions
throughout the middle belt Of counties
wherever there were showers. There was
generally somewhat of an excess of sun
shine over the normal amount, but this was
more than Offset by the cool nights and
cool, drying winds of the first of the
week, although the temperature for the
week, S a whole, was about normal.
Rain is needed in every part of the state.
There were a few scattered showers
during the week which were highly ben
efcial for the limited areas where they
occurred. In the counties that had the
heavy rains of the previous week rain is
needed to soften the crust which now re-
tards cotton from coming up freely. In
the two tiers of counties next the coast
the need of rain is most urgent as the
drought is becoming serious Throughout
this region the rainfall has been but from
One-eighth to one-fourth of the usual
amount in April, and but from o9S fifth
to one-third of the usual amount since
March l. The soil being for the most part
of sandy naturA and porous, permits the
sun to penetrate beneath the surface and
it is therefore less capable of sustaining
a prolonged drought than a clay soil
Crops are from ten days to two weeks be-
hind the season, while farm work is
well up.
Cotton planting is nearly finished, the
weather having been all that could be
desired for this purpose. But the same
cannot be hid for the seed that is up, or
that of later planting. for with the excep-
tions already noted, the ground lacks the
moisture to supply the needs of the grow
ing plant, or to terminate the late planted
seed. The stand will depend on the
weather conditions of the next two weeks.
Sea island cotton is reported a complete
failure

children built the tabernacle, which was
novel sight and interesting as well as
instructive All the mills closed down
to-day to allow the operatives to take
part in the exercises.

sUMTER's LIGHT INFANTRY.
Gov. Tillman to Allow Them to Re-

Columbia, S. c., May 1-Gov Tillman
to-day addressed letter to the captain
Of the Sumter Light Infantry of Sumter,
which refused to obey orders to go to
Darlington on. the night of the recent
outbreak The company, however, re-
considered next morning, offering to go to
Darlington, and acted under orders
of the governor in protecting
fugitive spies who fled to Sum-
ter. The letter strongly condemns
the company's characterization on the
night of the 30th, but on account of its
subsequent soldierIy conduct agrees to
overlook it and allow the company to re-
main in the militia of the state. The let
ter concludes by declaring that citizen
soldiers have no right to disobey orders
unless they outrageously violate justice
and decency.
