Gleanings from U. s. Weather Crop Bulletin
for Week1Ending Aug g.

Up to Friday the 3rd the temperature
deviated very little FROM the normal but
since that date it has ragged very low, falling
as low as 90 degrees at st. Mathews on
Sunday. The week was a cloudy one, the
interior seeing only two or three entirely
clear days.
The rainfall was excessive. Until the
fourth some parts of the state were dry
though others had had frequent showers and
in some the rains had been heavy. On
Saturday night general rain set in and
continued to fall steadily or with short
intervals through to Monday night. The
rainfall over the entire state during this
period was from two TO five inches. Injury
from .be rain is already apparent. The low
lands have been flooded and the highlands
washed. Cotton has fallen off in condition.
In some places it is reported as shedding
very badly, in others as having the rust aud
in others still is turning yellow. Many
fields have been laid by in the grass. The
falling off is estimated at from 10 to 40 per
cent. There are portions of the state how
ever, where the crop is in a most excellent
condition.
Corn continues to do well except on bot
tom lands where it is firing to the injury Of
the fodder and possibly TO the ear. Fodder
pulling will soon become general, but the
weather is unfavorable for curing.
Rice harvest has begun in small way and
the indications are fair for good crop.
Sugar cane and sorghum crops promise to
be large. Some syrup has already been
made. All root crops growing rapidly.
The tobacco crop is up to an average and
curing has commenced in some places. a
second crop of Strawberries is reported from
Darlington county.
The real effect of the cool rains on almost
all growing crops cannot be fully estimated
now.

Sedaiia.

AUGUST 4.-To-day has been IN eventful
one in Cross Keys. The day began with
lowering clouds and raiu deterring MANI
from attending the election and reorganiza-
ton ofthe Democratic club at our precinct.
When we arrived we found decided ma
jority Of those present were conservatives.
BY the time the polls opened, about / o'clock,
almost the entire strength of the couserva-
tives was on the ground ready to vote while
the reformers numbered only about a
bakers dozen. II was evident that a pre-
concerted scheme bad been laid by the
leaders of the conservative party TO capture
the meeting. AS soon as all present had
voted q conservative moved to close the
vote. Scarcely an hour had elapsed since
the voting commenced. We protested
against closing the polls until o'clock.
While the managers were counting the votes
q dozen or Is worthy reformers came
through the rain to cast their ballots, but TO
their surprise and chagr:n they were too
late to vote.
write in the interest of justice, l bear
no malice against any one who voted to close
the polls to-day, Many of them are my init
mate friends, but l appeal to their reason
and common sense to diyest themselves of
party prejudice, and then say honestly if
they believe one hour long enough to keep
the polls open for the reception of the votes
of this township.
Four-ffths Of the delegates elected to-day
do not represent the political sentiment of
our township, but small faction claiming
to be Simon pure democrats.
If democracy means n small faction or
party overthrowing the will of the majority,
then l confess l do not comprehend the
meaning of the word.
The rain continues, causing cotton to
make too much weed
Mrs. WilLanks is not expected to live

Ryo Whiskcy 25 Cents Pint at the
DiSpcnsarics.

The Dispcnsary authorities made new
departure yesterday. Eighty proof one Y
rye whiskey was being bottled for sale Mt %
cents pint and l5 cents a half pint. 1t is
said that the article is an excellent one for
the price, and that the blind tiger will find
it hard work TO live under the circumstances.
The work of bottling of all kinds of liquors
was commenced yesterday. The orders
have been so large that it was found
necessary to begin again. Eleven employees
were put to work yesterday, and the big
establishment had its usual aspect ofactiviiy.
Mr.. G. +. Bull was yesterday appointed Us
q bookkeeper of the Dispcnsary. Mr.. Bull
is lawyer, but is familiar with bookkcep-
ing, and his appointment. is good one.
Orders are now coming in right along, which
would indicate that the Dispensaries through
out the State are doing a good business.
One hundred AMI nineteen cases Of various
kinds of liquors were shipped to Spartan
burg on Monday.
1t is understood that at the meeting of the
County Board of Control or Tic !:h lust
several candidates beside the present Dis
pensers will apply for election. No one has
rs yet formally announced himself except
the present Dispensers.
1t is understood that several of the saloon
men who have been doing business since the
reopcning of the Dispensarics have at last
decided to quit. One of them said yesterday
that he would quit because hs did not want
to get in trouble, aud he felt sure that the
law was going to be strictly enforced
Other men in the same calling will doubtless
come to the same conclusion before it is all
oycr.-Rcyjster SM.
No such order as the above has been
received at the Dispensary here. 1t may
perhaps step towards the "blind tiger"
freez-cout that VIC have heard 50 much talk
about Of late.

a bill hos recently been passed in the
Senate, to prevent the landing of anarchists
in the United States and to deport them if
landed. 1t is substitute for the House bill
providing for the inspection of emigrants by
the U. $. Cousuls and was reported by Mr..
Hill.
Mr.. Hill addressed the Senate in support
of the measure. lie said that there was now
no law to prevent the landing of anarchists.
That the emigration laws were remarkably
well framed and would do much if honestly
and vigorously carried out, towards prevent
ing undesirable emigration. Said that if
anarchists were not excluded the United
States would soon become the camping
ground of the anarchists of the world; hence
the necessity Of the proposed legislation at
this time That no provision was made in
the bill for the indictment or punishment,
but provision was made that person known
as an anarchist should not be allowed to land
in this country and if he did land, then ccr
tain proceedings were to be taken by or
through the Secretary of the Treasury and
that person should be depOrted. lie referred
to well-known English anarchist, Nowbray,
who had recently cone TO this country and
who had been actually attempting to deliver
lectures in favor of the anarchistic doctrines
in the city of New York. That the police
could prevent the mau from lccturing but
there was no way of getting rid of him. lie
thought the bill would remedy the difficulty.
The bill was passed with some amend.
mcnts and n conference asked.
Several of the European states are seri-
ously considering the question of what to do
withf,he anarchist, and some nre having d
| good Meal of trouble with it. Others are
having perhaps more trouble with the
anarchist himself. 1t is to be hoped that if
| the above mentioned bill becomes law, the
| United States will be relieved of the anarch-
