WASHINGTON, March Al have
just seen card published in the News
and courier, from the Hon. D. A. j.
Sullivan, announcing his With hdrawal
from the race in the First Congression-
al District. The publication of this
card, as well as reports that :haVe been
circulated in South Carolina, to the ef-
feet that promised him to keep DR..
Stokes out Of the race, and the further
fact, that some time ago while I was
at home in Laurnes report was pub
lishod in the News and Courier that
had telegraphed for Mr.. Sullivan to
come to Laurens TO get him to run Tor
Congress in the First District, comEels
me to say that I have had no talk or
communication with MIR. Sullivan upon
this subject since he left Washington
some time ago. Mr.. Stokes was nom
mated for Congress at SummerVlue,
While Mr.. Sullivan was here
and upon learning it, the lat
ter announced 10 me and others that
he would not be a candidate. He left
me fully impressed with that idea, and
no man was more surprised than was,
when he announced his intention to
run, which he followed up by frequent
visits to, and conferences in, Columbia,
with which the public must be familiar.
In reference to the Laurens incident,
I will say that there is not word of
truth in that report. He came to my
house after having telegraphed from
Charleston, my permission to see me
Of NM bnroo In ToDropo fo UhIch [
consented. In conclusion I wish to
say, and l hope that every honest
newspaper that has published these re-
ports will do me the Jussice to publish
this letter, that l never promised Mr..
Sullivan or any one else to keep Mr..
Stokes from running at any time, or
asked, encouraged or advised Mr.. Sui
livan to run for Congress in that Con-
gfessiolal District.

A summary Of crop conditions in
thirty-six counties in this state for the
past week 10 thus compiled at the
Huron office: Late sown wheat and wheat
on cornstalk ground shows decided i'm
provment generally, but there is con-
siderable wheat, oats and barley in most
localities east OF the Missouri river that
it appears cannot be sufficiently resusci-
tated to be OF much value. Corn and
potatoes show marked improvement and
bid fair to be good crops, with favorable
weather from now on. The drouth left
the grass thin and short, and reports in
dictate that this crop must necessarily be
deficient, except in the Black Hills re-
gion. Ia most localities wheat and oats
are heading out very short, mostly the
main stem, the ''stool" having been
permanently injured by the drought.
The rains have been very beneficial in
terminating corn, millet and fiaxseed,
sown at the beginning Of the drought.
Crops have been damaged by hail In 10.
c~alities in Beadle, Custer, Edmuuds,
King bury, Pennington and Spirk
counties. On general average the wheat,
oats, barley and hay prospect appears to
be unfavorable. while com, potatoes, late
