WEATHGR-CRoP BULLETIN
OF the South Carolina Weather and
Crop Service.


Observer Bauer issued the following
Weather-Crop Bulletin for the past
week:
The weather conditions, were, on
the whole, very favorable for outdoor,
seasonable work aud for maturing
crops.
Cotton continues to be unfavorably
reported from all portions of tho State
and rust with shedding is mentioned
i'm every report received; it's growth
has practically stopped, and in many
places the plant has matured and is
dying; few report too rank growth
of weed, and boil worms have ap-
peared on rich lands in Orangeburg
county; bolls are opening rapidly and
picking is general, except in the ex-
treme western and northern portions
of the State, where tits about to begin.
The weather was favorable for picking
during the greater portion of the
week. The hot sun wilted cotton
badly.
In the extreme southwestern por-
tons corn is being housed, and in the
northwestern fodder-pulling is just
ending. 1t has been too dry for late
corn in the northern tier of counties
from Chesterfield westward, but gen
orally late corn is filling out very we'll.
Boiling molssses from sorghum and
sugar cane WAS the work of the week
over considerable portions Of the State
and the yield is reported to be of good
quality and very satisfactory IN
quantity.
The showers in the eastern portion
of the State interfered with the rice
harvest which is progressi ng slowly.
There is complaint that upland rice
is not heading satisfactory in some of
the more southern counties, but gen
orally it is doing we'll. No upland rice
harvested yet.
Peanuts are being gathered and the
few correspondents naming this crop
agree that it is yielding well.
Peas are being gathered, some state
that the vines are shedding their leaves
where planted with corn, but the crop
generally has done we'll. Is needing
rain in a fow places.
Sweet potatoes are improving very
much with the prevailing hot weather,
and the crop will be much larger
than anticipated during the summer.
Turnips are receiving considerable
attention; some fields have been re-
sown, others are doing nicely.
Late gardens are needing rain in
the upper portions of the State, but
along the coast winter vegetables
and green peas, beans, etc., are do
ing very well, except there has been
almost too much rsia-in those Sec
tions.
Lands being prepared for winter
oats in Lexington County.

The Salmon Crop Short.

At the beginning of this season IL
seemed as though the Columbia River
(OregoD) salmon pack would be phe-
nomenal; but the plethora of fine fish
at the opening has been succeeded by
a slackness in the run such as has
never before been experienced on the
river. A week ago the packing pres.
poets seemed to have utterly collapsed.
Possibly the fish may become more
plentiful toward the close Of this
month, but this seasons product will
be comparatively small, at the best.
The quality of the salmon, however,
has been remarkably good.

l did not take my revenge then,

he laughed, 1 could see that my shot

Well, to make long story short,
Mr.. Trevelyan and l developed a
wonderful appreciation OF each 9th

space of time. When people are in

as is only natural in such a case. it
don't take long to develop that organ
of appreciativeness from ever so in

greatly to my sisters exultation,
asked me to marry him before we
left the seaside; and as he made
some very pretty speeches about that
morning when he had nearly knocked
the breath out of me, showing that he
vas prepared for the worse with the
better, l consented to take him on
the general basis.

And twice the needful gifts ami powers
Are trembling in your breast.
While Fortune beckons just before,
While Hope is in he van,
Resolved with all your strength ana soH
To do the best YOU can,
The best you can, The time will come
When that will seem too small
Ambition scarcely worth the pains,
So grievous is its fall;
To pick the scattered fragments up'
Accept the altered plan?

To do the best you ca!
DANGERS and downfalls lie in store
For every soul alive,
And life, in truth. is not case

But trust me. he and only he,
Is wiser than the rest,
Who puts his shoulder to the wheel
And simply d0es his best
Some chance is always left at hand.
If not the chance we sought.
And none can tell what good may fall
From the least deed or thought.
Then take the troubles rs they come,
Acquit you like man,
Accept your part with all your neart'
And do the best you can.

JOHN WALLER AGAIN.

Mrs. Waller has received a letter
from John. 1t is a touching letter
from a much prosecuted and apparent
ly wronged man. AS will be remen-
bered Waller was moved from tho
Clairvaux prison TO Mines in South
France. But the treatment he re-
ceiveS seems to be no wise improved.
The whole case is hard for the Ameri-
can people 10 understand. France Is
a Republic, claiming admiration and
friendship for America. but the picture
which this letter presents will tend TO
arouse Indignation. Our sympathy for
Mr.. Waller is almost lost in our indic-
nation 1T the French government for
It's conduct toward this American citi-
zen, and in our contempt for the i'm
potent and imbecile administration at
Washington, which sits in somuolent
stupidity, while this citizen and ex-
consul of the United States is made the
victim of studied Insult and systematic
outrage.
Mr.. Waller describes, in his letter.
how heart-broken and crushed he WAS
when he WAS denied the privilege Of
seeing his wife and children, at the
time that they passed within fifty miles
OF the place of his imprisonment. This
was essentially inhuman. But we
cannot conceive OF any greater refine
ment of cruelty than the message sent
by the French authorities 10 Waller
that his wife had decided not to see
her husband" Mrs. Waller denouucas
this statement as wholly false. and as
rejecting on her loyalty to her suffer
ing companion. She declares thai she
begged hard. long and piteouSly 10 see
her husband, and that her appeaI was
rudely refused. with no other excuse
than that the prison rules forbade such
privilege. The granting of this re-
quest would have involved A small
concession on the part Of the French.
but how much of comfort and allevia-
ton IL would have communicated IN
those grtef-stricken hearts. Such a
spectacle would seem sufficient IN
move and melt a heart OF stone. But
the French officials and the Cleveland
administration appear 10 lee equally
impervious II all considerations of ius-
tice and humanity.
II Is now reported thar the state de-
pariment Is in possession Of all the
facts involved in the Waller case. The
department has the testimony of both
sides. and i also in receipt of the

AND 1T GROWS.

Carlisle, Wilson and their associate
tinkers in tariff and finance, estimated
last spring that the new tariff bill
would bring in sufficient revenue TO
meet the needs of the government, and
the operation of the measure has
shown that they were only about S75,-
100000 out of the way In their calcula-
tons. But what is a tlifling deficit
of $40, 100000 to an administration that
makes up shortages by selling bonds.
on the principle that the way TO main
tain the nations credit is to increa Sc
its interest bearing debt?
The deficit, like the poor is always
with US. 1t indicates no disposition to
desert Mr.. Cleveland and his cause.
Indeed, it is the only thing that the
president can wholly rely upon. Such
is its loyalty that it increases. even
when Secretary Carlisle predicts and
seems to expect its decrease and disap-
pearance. The deficit of 1895 will be
recorded in history as one of the econ
omic anomalies of this generation.
The deficit for October shows I'D
some seven billions additional to the
enormous deficit of the last fiscal year:
the past four months have added $16,-
100000 more. Secretary Carlisle, who
predicted that the receipts would be all
right for October and November, only
In way Of an explanation that
he is surprised and disappointed
That's all But that is not satisfying
the American people, as the result on
Tuesday shows. Cleveland and his
cabinet are great on rainbows and
promises but sad failures when it
comes to practical craftsmanship. The

trative acts have the seeming of
