EVENTS ALL OVER THE STATE.
The Cotton Crop of South Carolina.

THE Cotton Crop Oh SOutn CafOllna.
The New York Financial Chronicle
of last week had the following regard
ing the coming cotton crop in South
Carolina
In common with a large section of
the cotton belt, planting began IN
South Carolina later than. in 1891.
Commencing in the coast section about
the 1st of April, it gradually extended
westward and was finally completed
May 20. On some low and sandy lands
seed germinated poorly, but as rule it
came up well. At the same time the
weather conditions have not heen
favorable to the best development of
the plant, temperature having been too
low much of the time; at intervals
there has been an excess of moisture.
High water, frost and cut worms are
the causes mentioned, rendering much
replarting necessary. 1t is stated that
in the more northerly portions OF the
State, along the North Carolina border,
whole fields have been rcrlanted. An
Improvement in the weather since the
beginning of the last week in May is to
oe noted, and the crop is now doing
well. Stands are reported very irreg-
ular, being exceptionally good in some
portions Of the State and in others very
poor. The crop, however, is late
one, and may soon show much lm :
provemert under the present more
satisfactory conditions. Outdoor
work has been retarded, but cnltiva-
ton is now rapidly progressing.
Acreage-Cortrary to expectations
there have been additions to acreagein
some localities, but these lie in the
western portion of the State. Else
where the tendency has been strongly
il the OPT osite direction, the reduc-,
tions being much more than sufficient
10 balance the gains, the apparent net
decrease reaching 10 per cent.
Feytilizers-It would appear that
the takings Of commercial fertilizers
have heen but little more than half Of
what they were in 1894. Furthermore,
the use of homemade manures has
very LARGELY increased.

HARMONY is on TOP.
The Peace Faction is Winning in the
Fight.

E1Sht.
A dispatch from Columbia says:
Laurens county is the fourth county to
take action in the direction of 'speace
and harmony" The executive COM
mittee of that county has passed resol-
utions recommending that such dele
gates be sent to the constitutional con-
vention as pledge themselves to sub
NIT to the will OF the majority of the
white voters of Lauiens county, with
out regard to their past factional-
affiliations.
Since Senator Tillman has advised
the democratic executive committee Of
Edgefeld county to see to it that the
delegates to the convention. be divided
equally between the two factions, all
doubt as to his pasition has been re-
moved. Before he so advised it was
generally noised abroad that he would
kick out of the agreement made at the
Hemphill- l-Barnwell conference. His
action has given much strength to the
sspeace and harmony" faction, and the
fighting element has been put very
much on the defensive There are
some who say that this element has to
do much talking to keep its courage
MP, but there is no Disgusting the fact
that it is backed by fighters of ex-
perience with goodly numbers of
voters behind them. Richiand county
is considered the headquarters ofthe
fighting element, but many-of the lead
ing politicians of the country, among
themSenator Sloan and Representatives
Patton and Weston, have signifed
their ~intention of coming to some
equitable agreement with the refor-
mers.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Grand daughter Of the Author OF
seStar Spangled Banner" in Hard
Luck,
francis H. Weston, Secretary.


Quite a little furry of indignation has fol-
lowed the discovery that among the ninety
nine clerks dismissed from the Pension Bu-
reau. in accordance with legislation enacted
by the last Congress. was Miss Elizabeth N.
Kew. granddaughter of Francis Scott Key,
author of 'The Star Spangled Banner" Miss
Kew has been clerk in the bureau since
1851. has fair record for efficiency. and Is
the sole support of her mother, who is blind.
A strong effort is being made to secure Miss
Kev's reinstatement and 1t is believed that II
will succeed. for Notwithstanding the pro-
pensity of the average American to say,
s'there's no sentiment in business, every
body knows him to have vein OF sentiment
in his nature, which once aroused thorough.
lv dominates his action for the time; and II
the idea Of turning out women descendants
of the author of "The Star Spangled Banner
to starve. or exist on the charity of the world,
doesn't reach that vein of sentiment its outer
coating must be growing dangerously hard.
ATTORNEY General Harmon agrees with Presl-
dent Cleveland on the financial question. as
Mr. Cleveland probably knew before he made
him member of his Cabinet. Speaking on
the snbiect Judge Harmon said In the
present situation it seems to me mere lolly
to talk about the free coinage OF silver. The
only way we float the silver we now have is
by attaching an applied greenback to every
silver dollar-or, in other words. by the
government promising to redeem it with a
gold dollar. if necessary, to keep the two
equal. OF cource there is very narrow
limit to the governments ability to do that:
besides know of no reason why it should
do it. If there were free and unlimited
coinage of silver the government could not
keep the two metals on a parity very long,
and the result would be, by the law ofmoney,
that has been settled from the time that man
had money. the gold would all disappear
and there would be only silver basis.
Needless to say the silver men do not agree
with either the Attorney Generals argument
or his conclusions.
Flag Day. was universally observed in
Washington on Friday, by display OF the
National colors upon buildings public and
private. business and residential. and upon
the persons of men, women and children.
It's good thing. and the Sons OF the Revo-
luton deserve credit for their efforts to have
the anniversary generally observed. 1t is
impossible for any people to love their flag
too much. and not a few Americans have
shown disposition to love ours too little.
The administrator is on the eve OF sum-
mer separation. The last Cabinet meeting
has been held and Mr. Cleveland, having is
sued his nti-fillibustering proclamation, is
ready to join his wife and family at Gray
Gables. In accordance with his usual practice
the time of his departure will not be an
nounced until after he has gone-no buu In
tended a mere statement Of fact.

AN AGREEMENT.
What Governor Evans Says About the
Seizure Of Liquors and the Causes.

In speaking about the seizures of
liquors which are still being made de-
spite Judge Simontons order ofinjunc-
ton, Governor Evans on Thursday
remarked that they had an agreement
with the revenue authorities whereby
they were to seize and hold all liquors
shipped in for private or other use
when the package was not addressedln
the name of the party purchasing it.
In regard to the cases brought by
DR.. Pope before Commissioner Reid,
Governor Evans said be would have DR.,
Pope or Reid's deputy, or anybody
else arrested as soon as they stepped
inside the dispensary to search and
seize property therein. He held that
they had no right under the law to go
that far, and he would arrest them the
same as an ordinary citizen going In
there to take up something and walk
out with it.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
State Commissioner Mixson and Con-
stable Arrested.

stable Arrested.
At Columbia on Wednesday morning
an interesting legal move was made in
the matter of the dispensary law. State
Commissioner Mixson and Liquor Con-
stable Beach were arrested. The pro-
ceedings were made under the special
conspiracy act of Congress, which was
referred to in the Debs case. They
are arrested upon a warrant sworn out
by two leading citizens, Messrs. Muller
and Beck, before United States Com
missioner Reid, of Newberry. They
were charged with conspiracy to violate
the special interstate commerce act of,
1890 in seizing some beer belongingto
the complainants. The commissioner
also issued warrant for the search and
seizure of the confscated liquor. The
prisoners were taken up for q prelimi-
nary hearing. DR.. Pope appeared for
the complainants, and asked that they
be bound over for conspiracy. The:
Assistant Acknowledgement told The
deputy marshal to consider the seized
property in his possession for the pur-:
poses of this case.
The State maintains that the defen'
dants cannot be held criWin nally liable
under this act of Congress:
The hearing was concluded at the Of
ternoon session, DR.. Pope and Judge
Townsend both making lengthy
speeches, the former arguing that the
commissioner had Jurisdiction and the
latter denying it.
DR.. Pope's speech was spicy one
The commissioner decided that the de-
fepdants were in contempt of Judge
Simonton's order of injunction, whichs
he said, was now the Jaw. and bound
Mixson over to appear before trial at
the November term ofthe United States
District Court in the sum of
81, 900, making the eonstable's bond
only half that amonnt.

practically that the process of reglstra-

be suspended in an entire county dur
ing the pleasure of the court, and that
all the citizens of county, not then
registered as voters, should be denied

Judge Hughes opinion in the South
Carolina case is in part as follows.
The Judge gives careful review of the
record and continuing, says:
There is nothing in the record to
show that the complainant is man OF
color, or that those for whom he sues
are colored persons. The bill contains
no allegation that the provisions OF law
complained of were devised against the
complainant or those for whom he sues
on account of their race, color, or pre-
vious condition Of servitude. There IS
nothing in the avecments of the bill
from which it may naturally, or must
necessarily be inferred that the COM
plainant and those for whom he sues
are citizens of color. There are no
averments in the bill which show that
the case falls within the prevised OF
the fifteenth amendment of the constl-

CITIES CANNOTPAVE.


Commissioners Prefer That Suburban
Roads Be Built.
Hartford, Aug. THE highway com
missioners have received inquiries from
one or two cities asking If city streets
could be paved under the new law. A.
c. Sternberg, the secretary Of the COM
mission, has sent replies stating that
there was nothing In the law to pre-
vent 1t, but the commissioners will
not appropriate money for the paving
of city streets until all the roads in
the suburbs of the city are in good con-
dition.
The commissioners are anxious that
cities should apply for aid under the
act and are of the opinion that 1t Is
perfectly legal If the application is
made through the selectmen as the
law requires. But as the state pays
one-third and the county one-third,
they prefer that the highways leading
into the country from the cities should
be all macadam or telford roads BE-
fore any city paving Is done under this
act.
Nearly all the towns throughout the
state are Weakening UP to the importance
of good roads and are eager to share
in the state approprfa ton. Room rs
in the capitol represents a busy appear
ance every day, Selectmen come In
from every part of the state to get
