THE REVERSAL OFJUDGE GCFF.
Hovthc Two Factions Of South Caro-
lima Conservatives Regard the
Present Situation.

A special from Charleston to the New
York Evening Post says: Politically
speaking the South Carolina Conserva-
tiyes are divided into two factions,
those who are in favor of combining
with the State Administration party to
secure an equal division OF delegates
between tie party in power and the op
position or Conservatives, and those
who are in favor Of declining any COM
promise and refuse tc go into the pri-
mary election for candidates OF the
Democratic party fer delegates to the
Convention, but propose to make the
fight at the election foc the delegates
themselves.
In spite OF the great unpopularityo of
Senator Tillman and Governor Evans
among the Conservatives, owing espe-
cially to their course in last four years
and the persistent efforts of the State
Administration to enforce the dispen-
sary law, there is q very general senti-
ment which opposes a factional fight
for the control oi The Constitutional
Convention sDd, therefore, does not
object to the overthrow of Judge COTS
decirion. Tie other faction is rather
disposed to regret that an apparent
vic tory has been given the AdministrS-
ton party. There seems very little
doubt that if the action of Edgefeld
and Aiken counties, the homes of SEN
ator Tillman and Governor Evans re-
spective]y, in dividing the delegates
between Reforners and Conservatives,
be generally carried out, it will be &C

PALMETTO POINTERS
EVENTS ALL OVER THE STATE.
The Weather and the Crops. An En-
couraging Report.


Director Bauer has issued On en-
couraging crop report for the past
week. He gives an interesting sum-
mary OF the crop situation up to this
time. After reviewing the weather he
says:
The condition of cotton has greatly i'm
proved within the last two weeks, and is
particularly fine in the western portions Of
the State, where stands are reported "as fine
as ever seem The plant is small and con-
tinues lousy in places. Fields that were not
fertilized show marked inferiority. The cool
nights latterly have checked its growth
somewhat. but not materially. Fields are
well worked and generally clean. About all
chopped to stand.
There is no marked change in the condi-
ton Of corn. which continues very satisfac-
tory. It shows some improvement in color
and less in growth. a fairly good stand has
been obtained except where damaged by crt
worries. It is very small for the season, and
its condition appears from the reports Of
correspondents to be quite uniform over the
whole State. It is receiving its last plough
ing in the more southern counties, where it
is beginning to tasse!. Stubhle lands being
planted in corn and peas.
Wheat will soon be ready to harvest. Some
has already been cut. The stand is general
ly thin. but is heading very full.
Oats are being harvested with very fair
Weld. running from full crop to about 90
per cent Of one. Spring oats have improved,
but their condition is exceedingly variable,
differing greatly in the same portions Of the
State, and even in the same counties. The
average OF all reports would make it some
what less than an average crop.
Tobacco is doing we'll at places and reported
fair at others. Worms have appeared I'M
usually early. and are proving troublesome
The tobacco culture has infuced hopefullness
into the farmers, whether the crop proves re-
murerativn or not.
Rice about all planted and its condition gen.
orally very satisfactory.
Melons have been doing poorly, but lately
have advanced rapidly and are blossoming
Sweet potato draws scarcein the up-coun-
trv, and The acreage will be greatly reduced
on this account. Elsewhere its codition is
fair, and The crop is receiving about the same
attention Us il former years. Irish potatoes
are Welding q full crop from the coast truck
farms westward.
Sugar2anc ;.nl sorghum arc reported as
having I poor siaua generally.
A large acreage OF peas IS Icing sown, both
as i separate crop and on The same land with
corn.
Early apples peaches. plunas and cherries
are ripening aud are being marketed. Fruit
exhibited for sale ROW is OF inferior quality
except cherries. being evidently ymarketed be-
tore it was ripe a practice which cannot be
100 greatly condemned. Dlueberries and
ulackberries continue very plentiful.

The Cotton Acreage Sufficient to Raise

tive Increase in Prices
R. G. Dun l. Co.'S. weekly review of trade
for the pas. week says: 1t is no longer a
question whether business improves. Not
for long time have our reports from all
parts OF the country been so uniformly favor
able. The daily average Of bank clearings
in June is 24.8 per cent. larger than last year,
though II 4 per cent less than in 1892. The
most potent influence has been the receipt Of
most favorable advices regarding growing
crops. Labor troubles are getting out Of the
way. and wages In many establishments are
rising.
Tne ofieia, statement Of 14S per cent. de-
crease in cotton acreage was quickly found,
In view OF the revised government estimates
for last year, to mean more than 10000, 900
acres now growing cotton, which much ex-
ceeds the best unofficial estimates. and from
area 30 greater over 5000 900 bales were
produced in 1891, so that the report gave no
aid to prophets of evil. That some reduction
would be well for the South is clear, but the
heavy present surplus will cover a larger
loss than seems probable. The price has not
changed, but transactions have become in
significant, though rainfall and temperature
are closely watched. Manufacturers abroad
according to Ellison, have stocks 289, 600
bales greater than year ago, and commercial
stocks OF American in sight are still 8, 200, ,20S
bales.
Cotton mills are doing we'll for the season,
and numerous advances OF an eighth to a
quarter in brown sheetlngs. drills, bleacbed
mus!ins, dennls and ticks are still reported.
The wool manufacturer looks for speedy
settlement OF labor trouble and finds a
moderate demand for low and medium heavy
weight goods, while some Of the cheaper
lines Of spring goods have been opened with
nattering reports, but as to better grades,
there is still great uncertainty about prices.
There have been few changes In the trade
situation a: the South, but there are direct
indications Of improved demand, principally
in dry goods, shoes, hats and other seasona-
BILE goods, With the prospect for good fall
trade should the crop prospects remain as at
the present. Gaius in the volume Q! business

Shifting the Earthquake from Afar.
1t is a we'll known fact that horses
can hear sounds that are not percepu-
bic to human ears. For days previous
to the great earthquake in the Riviera
the horses Of that locality showed every
symptom Of fear, which continued with
out change of character, unless it was
in the direction Of greater frenzy, till
the fury of the great convulsion broke
forth. Not until few seconds. how
ever, before the earth began to tremble
did human beings hear the subterra-
mean rumblings. One writer from the
scene says that in his opinion the horses
knew that the great quake was on the
way from seventy-two to 100 hours be-
fore their masters heard or felt the
first jar.-St Louis Republic.
