Harrisburg (Pa.) Call.
.'7here is no paper published in America
. that SO nearly approaches the true Journal
isfic ideal as The CHICAGO RECORD
From "NeWspaperd0m" New York..
III have come to the firm conclusion, after
a long test and after a wide comparison
with the journals of many cities and c0un-

as near being the ideal daily journal as we

THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
Effect of the Recent Rains Upon
tho Growing Crops.

This bulletin covers the weather and
crop conditions for the week ending
Saturday,lJ July Is, and in it's preparation
were used reports from one or more
correspondents in each county of the
State.
The week averaged cooler than
usual with an average mean tempera-
ture Of so, and the normal for the same
period is approximately 50. The high
est mean was 81 recorded at Shaw's
Forks and Allendale the lowest, 76,
was recorded at Grcenville.
The maximum and minimum tenn
peratures for tn week both occurred
at Spartanburg the former 9S on the
10th and the latter 90 on the 18th.
During the first part Of the week
there was very little rain, but on the
last three Days showers were general
and in places heavy.
There was about q normal average
amount OF rain fer the week, but it
was poorly distributed, with the
heaviest fall over Chesterfield and
southwark to Hampton and Barnwcll.
Average Of 40 rainfall reports l.19, APP
proxinate normal for the same period
j 30.
There was only 50 per cent. Of the
possible sunshine, and the cloudiness
was very general over the eutire State:
there having been least sunshine in
Chesterfield with a percentage of 10
and most in Aiken with u percentage
OF 10. Some correspondents reported
the lack Of sunshine harmful, while
others considered it favorable. 1t is
thought that clear weather would be
the more favorable condition now.
The weather during the past week
was, on the whole, favorable, aud all
crops made satisfactory advance. But
little farm work could be done in many
counties on account of the wet ground.
In Chesterfield Darlington, Sumter,
Collector, Berkeley, and Hampton coun-
ties excessive rainfall was a menace
to cotton and corn, and locally in other
portions of the State. Many farmers
are finishing laying by their cultivated
crops, and many fields will be laid by
in grassy condition, the ground being
too wet to pillow, or the corn and cotton
tangled by the high winds Of the pre-
viOus week. The water in most Of the
rivers has about reached normal stages,

Rice Is generally in excellent con

Is now falling slowly and little If any

Tobacco curing is general. There

rains interfered with curing.
Peas doing well generally. Some

Sweet potatoes are growing too
much to vine apparently, but are look

Turnip sowing in season.

one. All forage crops are making
fine growth.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

politan police law-to fight for lower
taxes and fewer offices, aud to bring
about an era of good feeling among the
people. Alabama shoots the first gun
in August and you may look for the
success of the ticket there, and already
thousands of Democrats in that State
have signiied their intention of aid
ing in the downfall of the so.called
Democratic party. Kentucky, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Maryland and Missouri will
follow suit. Come then and assist us
to put South Carolina in line. We are
waging no war against the negro, he
can get relief only through the white
man. The conduct Of some of the
delegates to st. Louis in unjustly
criticlsing the white Republicans Of
this State has mado this step neccs-
sary, for If a white party is not formed
there will be no accessions to the Re-
publican party in this State The
negro, If ho thinks, will see the Justice
and strength OF this position. 1t is for
his good as well as ours. He has tried
and has failed. 1t behooves him then
to assist us at the general election.
We have fought for his rights in the
courts and have failed. No relief can
be had in the State courts, for in mat
ters of u political nature, the Supreme
Court will sustain the present State
administration. We have not q O'Neall
or o David johnson on that court as in
1882.
Register is the word. Let all who
a do so register in the little time
that Is left to do SO in. Remember that
all who are entitled to register and
fail to do so are ever after p.ecluded
from doing SO under the law. You
have the first Monday of August and
September left. after that time your
chance to prepare to vote is lost. The
victory, If won, must be won at the
ballot box. There will be no Federal
force bill. There may be an investi-
cation by congress as to whether or
not we have n Republican form OF
government in this State, which will
only affect the representatives in the
Senate and House. This will give you
nj relief in State matters hence the
Importance OF n strong fight at the
polls in State matters. Less than six
thousand negroes have been registered,
there will not be over eight thousand
registered altogether. Tho whites
are holding back. This should not be.
II you do not apply for registration
certificates you cannot afterwards
complain. Your mouths will be closed.
My address will be Newberry, S. g.,

cate with me and after u while we will
have q convention to nominate IN

NEW. PARTY FOR WHITES.
A White Mans Republican Party i'm
South C~arOlina-To Fight for Mem
bers Of the Legislature.

Dir. Sampson Pope has given the first
news OF u proposed white mans Re-
publican party in South Carolina
something the old State has never had.
DR.. Pope when seen said that the con-
dition Of the State was such-that
there were such evidences of loss Of
trade in Charleston and Columbia anc
all the cities and towns, brought about
by the present administration, that he
thinks the time has arrived for tho
inauguration of a white Republican
party. He said futher that he was
ready for the fray aud intended to fight
to the end in behalf of such q party.
DR.. Pope has issued the following
address, in which will be found some
surprising figures bearing up,n the
registration
To the People OF South Carolina:
| have been asked to take the initia-
tive in the organization of q white
mans Republican party in South Caro-
lima, and therefore issue this address,
looking to that end. The harvest is
ripe In this State, u Populist, standing
upon o Populist platform, has been
nominated by the so-called Democratic
convention which met at Chicago.
You have besn asked to give thai plat
form and that ticket your support; can
there be any harm in my asking you
to support q Republican ticket on O
platform which commends itself to
every liberty-loving, conservative pa
triot in the land q platform which
protects the business interests OF the
country (by declaring for q sound cur
rency); a platform which protects the
rights and liberties Of the citizen
guaranteed by the federal Constitution,
without regard to race, color or pre-
vious condition; q platform which
protects the products Of the soil against
foreign products u platform which
protects the labor of the ountr
engaged in manufacturing, $4,000 OF
whom are South C%arolinians engaged
In cotton manufacture and a platform
which protects the millions Of Ameri-
can capital engaged in manufacturing,
among which Is 1850, 600 cotton spin
dies in South Carolina?
Upon this platform stands Major
Mckinley, the standard bearer Of the
Republican party !; a man beloved by
the nation, whose character is beyond
reproach. Then come with us and we
promise you an electoral ticket to be
composed of nine of the best white men

Cor. N. Y. Herald.
On the train between Kansas civ
and Lincoln, at disjOinted intervals,
when Mrs. Bryan was not waving her
handkerchief from the near platform
or not meeting the people, 1 said to
her that the readers of The Herald
would doubtless be very much interest
cd to Know her viows on certain sub
jects. Mrs. Pryan is not only q very
modest woman, but also q very attrac-
tive one. She dislikcs publicity, and
is ayerse to being interviewed, because
she regards the 81" as egotistical.
After some hesitation she consented
that | might ask her certain questions
and publish the answers r-gaid to
hef.-"
MRS. Bryan, are you fond of soci-
ety?"
81 am very fond OF meeting people,"
she said, land L enjoy my own circle Of
friends, but society, as it Is generally
understood, the formal round of visits,
the receptions and other functions at
which stereotyped questions are asked
and answers given, which are forgotten
at once, because they were never made
to be remembered, has very little at
traction for me.
In Lincoln, strange as III nay per-
haps seem to you, coming from the
East, we have a very delightful society.
There Is no great or formal entertain
ing, but there are professors from the
State University, women who are
members Of clubs, and who keep them
selves Informed on the topics of the
day, students OF the University, who
have come from the East especially to
study Western agricultural methods,
forming a society which is attractive
and intellectual. OF course you can
find the same thing in the East, only
with US, perhaps, there Is less artif-
ciality, and the hollowness of societyds
what the newspapers seem to be al
ways deplorlng.3
