A Word or Two

to those suffering from catarrh or the thou
sands subject to severe attacks Of cold in
the head, will not be amiss if a sure remedy
can be offered. Ely's Cream Balm has be-
come favorite in all sections of the United
States, because of its effectiveness. Your
cold in the head will be quickly relieved
by it, and the severest attack of catarrh will
yield to, and be perfectly cured by a
thorough treatment. Catarrh is not a
blood disease, but an inflammation OF the
passages of the nose and throat, due to
climatic changes.

Troublesome Engine and Cars.

Fer over q year, at intervals an at
tempt has been made to remove the
D. & w. engine and cars out of the
country, by an equipment company.
Every time an att. mpt has been made
there was always something thrown in
the way, the track was taken up, q
bridge cut down or the friends OF the
road get out an attachment and held
possession. A local attorney and one
sent out by the car company have been
sweating. swearing and chewing the rag
but still the cars stand on the D. & w.
track as OF wore. This time they en-
countered $500 taxes which our treas
urtr insisted should he paid. This
difficulty out OF the road, the rails and
track disappeared in the stiffness OF the
night, leaving the bone of contention q
long way from the Elkhorn track and
as neither OF the attorneys felt able to
carry the locomotive and cars across
the ch asn it had to be abandoned for q
time at least.

n Prominent Peabody Trustee Praises
tho Girls School.
Special to The State.
DR.. a. d. Mayo of Boston, one OF the
most Influential trustees Of the Pea
body fund, who has devoted sixteen
years of his life and talents to the
nooio ministry OF education in the
South, and who visited for about ten
days recently at Winthrop College.
was interviewed by a representative OF
the State, from which we take the
following:
In the pleasant interview which DR..
Mayo gave upon the broad portico of
Winthrop college, he spoke at length
OF the condition Of the schools, especial
~ In the country, which called for
better Instructors, and made necessary
inc establishment OF an institution
teachers. In tho way of such efforts
he mentioned the beginning, by the
establishment OF such an institution in
Mississippi somc six or eight years
ago, followed later Dy Georgia, then
North Carolina, now by South Caro-
lima.
Discussing tho different ones he
came to look at Winthrop Normal and
industrial college OF South Carolina.
:, In some respects he considered it
unique "--notably, in combining nm
academic education with q normal and
industrial one and spoke Of the combi-
nation as most desirable ono.
Iho buildings ho considered almost
per1ect-"thc best in the South. and
compares most favorably with the best
anywhere"
The thoroughness of tho appoint
menus .ni ana the model way in which
this up-to-date hotel" is kept, make
IL an onJect-lesson to mate with the
cally, no spoke of tho wonderfully GOOD
living in tho college and said that in
ms 10 years experience visiting schools
nc h'td mover eaten such "good bread :"
llo also spoke Of tho great ADVANTAGE
to be derived from the farm in conneo-
tion with tho college.
Dr. Mayo seemed to be struck with
Inc broad IDEAS which had dominated
IN the selection of tho faculty-in not
allowlng social or political prestige
TO influence it--and commended the
thoroughness and e!liciencvN ~ the
TEACHERS, "selcctod from Maine to
California" w
:, nc also paid high tribute to tho
organizing qualities and exeoutiva
powers of President Johnson
Upon the whole DR.. Mayo seemed To
DC vcry, highly pleased with the work
being done at Winthrop aud hoped
mat the State would always uphold
tne standard OF excellence which marks
INC beginning OF the work, and would
give the college tho support II de-
serves that the clock should not
strike II at tho beginning"
nc expressed himself as much
pleased with the reception he had
always received in South Carolina and
said that 1T was but natural thet ha
should feel warmly attached to her.

one or moro correspondents in each
county OF tho State.
Inc hot weather Of tho past week
was noteworthy not only because the
highest April temperatures, within
the time covered by the Weather
Buroau records, wore recorded, but
also because the heat wave was so pro

The heat Of the week converted q
deficiency Of 70 degrees in tempcra.
turo since March lst which existed at
the beginning OF tho week into an OK.
cess OF about rs degrees.
The week exhibited another feature
OF midsummer temperature in that It
was as hot, or hotter, in the interior
as on the coast.
The daily moan temperature aver
aged from to u degrees Dor dav
higher than the normal, and from II
to & degrees higher per day than
during the previous week. Tho great
est gain occurred in the extreme wcs.
tern counties, and it was warmest in
the south central counties. The high.
cat temperature reported was 90 on
Friday the l7th at Gillionsvilc, namD.
ton county, and the low est was IL on
Sunday, the 18th, at Grccnville.
The mean temperature for tho week
for the whole State, taken at 45 dif.
ierent stations, was 73, and the normal
G3.
Thorc was but one shower reportod
the entire week, and that occurred ir
tho upper portion Of Sumter County
on tho evening Of Friday, the 18th, anG
the greatest amount that foil was less
than one.tcnth Of an inch (O03 at Cam.
den). Along tho Immediate coast the
absence OF rain was partially supplied
by heavy dews, which sustained vcgeta
tlon, but in the interior thcrc wcr(
scarcely any dows.
The normal rainfall for the week IS
approximately 0.80 inch. The delicj
ency in rainfall for the whole State /,
now over four inches since March 1st
The last beneficial rain occurred or
April I'd. w.
INC winds were generally from the
south and southwest, and were vcr,

Berkeley County, where tho sunshin,
WAS reported less than so por cent. O
tho possible, while for the greater
portion OF tho State it ranged botwcel
80 and 90 per cent
The reports covering the last week
divide tho State into two distinct di
visions, but the limo OF dcmarkatiOn is
not wcll defined ono; in q general
way it runs from Abbovillc to Lancas.
tor County. 10 tho nOrthward and
| westward OF this line tho reports all
declare the hot, dry weather favorable
on crops, with the exception of oats
sowed since January, which is needing
rain badly. TO the southwark and
westward OF tho line tho reports indi-
cate less favorable and more di-
VerSlhcd condition, altogether on ac-
count of tho lack Of rain.
Not only has thcro been less rainfall
In this division since the crop season
began, but the soil Is loss rotontive of
moisture generally.
Corn OF earliest planting is generally
up with q good color and growing

reported and replanted corn docs not
come up and will not until 1t rains !;
tho Same 10 true of late planting.
Corn planting is practically finished
except late or May and Juno corn.
Cotton planting slackcns, both be-
cause the greater portion Of it has boon
planted and because tho ground is too
dry for thorough preparation, whilo
others prefer to wait for rain before
planting The first planting is up, but
not to good stands. Later planting
cannot germinato.
Wheat is doing we'll generally, but
needs rain to prevent it from hcading
promaturely.
Tho condition OF falls oats has not
changed materially since last wock

Is likely to head prematurely should
the dry weather continue. Sprinr
oats arc failing everywhere and in
solno localities tho crop has already
failed.
Pastures improved generally under
the influence OF the hot weather., but
IN Beaufort County pastures arc fail
ing.
Tobacco lands are prepared and
only waiting for rain to begin trans
planting, a little of which was done
before Tho ground became too dry.
irish potatoes need rain ~ do
gardens, the latter are parchcd on light
soils.
Me Ions and sorghum cane arc being
largely planted but coming up slowly
early blossoming fruit docs not look
promising generally, but lato blossom
ing varieties appear moro favorable,
except that some report fruit, cspe-
pcclally peaches, dropping badly on
account Of the dryness.

some Mexican convicts and in the
fight that ensued Mr., Gates received
3 stab from the efe: rs of which be
