Ed. Register Since my last writing
the severe drouth that then prevailed
here was broken by heavy rains on the
night of the 7th inst; and on the day
following considerable rain fell. This
did much to terminate wheat that had
been sown short time before and ma
terially benefited the FIRST sowing OF
wheat.
Many farmers hereabouts learned
when they had gathered their corn
that the yield was far from being as
great as they expected it to be. In
some instances, it is true, some fine
corn was raised; but in most cases the
yield varied from quite poor to ordina-
ry. However. owing 10 the absence of
squirrels. who usually make serious
inroads on our corn crops, and to the
exceptionally dry weather until after
the most of the crop was crlbbed. corn
was in extraordinary good condition
when gathered. Fodder, also, was
stored in fine condition. and will con-
sequently do much to fill the gap oc-
casioned by the dearth OF other rough
ness.

THE smallpox threatens to become
epidemic in Charleston. The follow
ing paragraphs from the Democrat
show to how serious stage the seourge
has advanced:
Charleston was visibly affected Mon
day morning when it became known
that DIR. Barker. one of the clty's lead
ing physicians, had died victim to
tho dread scourge, smallpox. His
death was not unexpected, however,
as the day before his physicians had
given little hope to enquiring friends.
His disease was complicated with a
lung trouble. and his demise was thus
hastened.
Like a flash of lightning from Gear
sky came the news of the death OF
George w. Martin last evening shortly
after 5 o'clock. Mr.. Martin is the
third victim to the disease threaten
ing TO become epidemic in Charleston.
He had been sick but week. and only
last evening his brothers paper con-
tanned the announcement that he was
better. Nevertheless, at 500 o'clock
he breathed his last.
DR.. Beagle last night handed the
Democrat the following card for publ
cation. His stand in the matter is
meeting with the endorsement of the
general public: ITO THE PUBLIC:
Having been invited to attend the fun
eral of the late DIR. Barker. and after
consulting with numerous citizens of
the city. and deferring to their jude-
ment, it is thought best not to take the
risk of spreading the disease or in
creasing the alarm already felt; and
further. they advise against it on ac-
count of my pastoral relations to the
community. They also agree with me
in the proposition to hold, when the
danger is past. and the disease has run
its course. Memorial Service at the
Methodist church in memory of our
deceased felIow-citizens.
..Nov. 25, 1895. J. A. BEAGLE,
pastor Methodist Church. ="
The disease. evidently, is in its most
viruleut form. That it should carry
OF in quick succession two prominent
citizens. surrounded with every means
for combating it with promise of sue
cess, does not inspire one with conf
dence as to the ability of the doctors
to stay its ravages or stamp it out.
