Columbia, S. c., Aug. M.-The condition
of the cotton crop in South Carolina for

In general, it may be said that the aver

Over the western half of the state, how
ever, there was marked improvement in
the plant in most places, SO that, taking
the state as a whole, there was little
change in the average condition of the
staple. In the lower part Of the state it is
beginning to open. The bolls appear to be
of good size and the bottom crop heavily

tire crop. there is small likelihood of much

is growing too much to weed. Sea island

Perhaps Fatal Effect.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 21.-Robert Jones, a
negro burglar. was shot and probably IA
tally wounded last night by Emile Ber-
nard. proprietor of beer saloon on Elliott
street.
Bernard. who sleeps in his saloon, was
awakened at about o'clock by noise at
the window in the rear of the place. He
did not know what to make of the distur-
bance at first, but upon a repetition of the
noise, he concluded to try pistol shot in
that direction.
The ball entered the negroes breast and
he fell from the window which he was
preparing to hoist to the ground with a
wild yell. Bernard called the police. who
took charge of the burglar. while he went
back to bed TO finish his nap. The negro
may pay for his burglarious attempt with
his life.

total slump in taxable values, as shown
by the 1876 counties, is, in round numbers.
$17,5OO,OOO, against $2S.OOO.OOO decrease last
year and S11, 900 the year preceding last
making the total decrease for the three
years $520O0,0OO In 1892, however, there
was an increase in values of $4,000, 900,
which, in reality, makes the slump since
1892 $40, 100000. Controller Wright, when
the digests began to come in this year,
estimated that the slump would be $780,

go off as heavily in proportion as the
country counties and the result is the
slump is only little over half what was
anticipated.

TEMPTATIONS TO DRINKING.
BY THEODORE L. cUYLER, DID.

Nine-tenths of all the articles writ
ten or speeches made on the temper.
ance question deal mainly with the
saloon and the drink traffic. That
traffic is fed and sustained by the
drinking usages, and very large
amount Of intemperance begins out
side of the dramshop. The habit of
using intoxicants is formed. for the
most part, not in the accursed saloons,
but at home or in social gatherings
or in clubs or at the restaurants or
elsewhere. The saddest fact Of all is
that this fatal habit is SO often the
direct result of temptations that are
either carelessly or wantonly pre-
sented. The tempter does not in
tend to ruin his or her friend when
the intoxicant is offered:
ssBut evil is wrought by want of thought
AS we'll as by want of heart"
For example, the hospitable mas
ter and mistress Of house invite an
evening company, and spread their
table with a lavish provision of meats
and drinks. On that table the lady
Of the house, at the dictate of sin
full fashion, places several choice
brands of wine, and on a sideboard
stands bowl of inviting punch. In
that company is young man who is
tempted to take his first glass, which,
unhappily, does not prove to be his
last glass. Among the guests is also
husband, who has promised the
wife of his early love that he will
never again yield to his awful ap-
petite and turn their home into a
hell. That punch bowl is too much
for him; he drinks, and goes reeling
home with his shame stricken wife
to awake next morning in the agonies
Of remorse According to the good
old Jew law, "if fire breaks out, and
catches in thorns, 30 that stacks OF
corn are consumed, he that kindled
the fire shall surely make restitution"
where false hospitality put the bot
tie to neighbours lips? The master
and mistress of the mansion; and q
poor restitution" can they make for
a ruined home and broken hearts!
This is no fancy sketch. Some time
age prominent Christian gentleman
in this city gave an elegant entertain
ment and provided no intoxicsnts.
At the close of the evening lady
came to him, and with tears Of graft
tude thanked him for one of the
hsppiest evenings of her life. She
said: "This is one of the few houses
to which dare to bring my husband;
here he is safe from temptation" In
some other houses that poor wife had
found that very respectable people
could be very dangerous incendiaries.

There was not very large at
tendance at last nights meeting OF
the Hawaiian Republican Club,
but considerable business of inn
portance was transacted.
A letter was read from Minister
of Foreign Affairs Hatch, replying
to the petition of the Club for per-
mission to form a volunteer mill
tary company from among its
membership, and the same to be
admitted to the National Guard.
The communication stated the
matter had been referred to the
Ministry and, after the arrival of
the new colonel and the military
reorganized, definite reply to the
request would be sent.
Political matters were discussed
at some length. A communication
was read from Alfred w. Carter,
thanking the Club for its endorse
ment of his candidacy, but declin-
ing to run on account of others be-
ing spoken Of who could accept
ably fill the position.
The names Of A. G.. M. Robert
son and G. B. Ripley were men,

to be the favorite, and he was en-
dorsed.

Their consideration will be given

nected with the welfare of the

Old IrOnsf6es.

Probably no other ship has done
so much to level British naval
pride as Old Ironsides. High re-
wards and rapid promotion await
ed the English commander who
sailed into Spithead with the
dreaded Constitution as a prize.
When, by the extraordinary sea-
manship of Captain Isaac Hull,
she escaped the clutches of a pow.
erful British squadron off Sandy
Hook in 1912, after a. chase of
some sixty hours. Captain Byron,
commanding one of the ships of
the pursuing squadron, wrote to a
friend in London: Nothing can
exceed my modification from the
extraordinary escape of the Ameri-
can frigate." The even more re-
markable escape of the Constitu-
ton in 1915 from another British
squadron off Port Praya caused
the commanding English officer to
commit suicide.-Ex.
