WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN,
Hot Weather Has n Bad Effect on the
Crops in this State.

Mr.. j. w. Bauer, of Columbia, in
charge of the weather bureau, has is
sued the following bulletin to cover
the week ending Saturday, August lst :
The heat during the week under re-
view was excessive, with thirteen re-
ports out of 40 OF maXima temperatures
oil lOO or above on one or more DAYS.
The rainfall came in light, scattered
showers, not confined 10 any portion
of the State, nor covering any con-
siderable portion of it,
The excessive heat and want OF rain
were very unfavorable for most crops,
and in the principal ones there
was a decided falling OFF in con
dition. The early corn crop ripened
very fast and fodder from such is strip
ped and saved in fine condition. Later
corn is'maturing rapidly and is being
stripped sooner than would ordinarily
be the case as the leaves were drying
on the stalk. While there were some
reports OF corn being adversely affect
ca by the heat, yet the greater mum
ber OF correspondents report no notice
able injury, but express the fear that
the grain will show the effects OF husk
ing. All corn Is so far advanced that
one general rain, or well distributed
showers, would insure full crop
Twenty-three counties report cottor
failing under the adverse weather
which prevailed; eight report either
an Improvement in condition or no de
terioration, and In the remaining five
the conditions are variable, depending
on locality, soil and rainfall. TIL,
favorable reports come from the Yves
tern portion OF tho State, with th
exception OF Colleton. The chief ef

of prisoners being strung up by the

days at time to the mercy OF tn
vicious flies, which were attracted in
swarms by molasses rmeared upon
the victims faces and chests for that
purpose. Many other forms Of tortures
are practiced upon the unfortunate
rebels when taken.
"Tbese outrages against humanity
