Senator Raines, of New York, is
highly pleased with the results of his
liquor tax law, and thus far he has
reason for being pleased. He says
that when the bill was before the legis-
'ature last winter he estimated that
the total receipts under the operations
of the law would be $l0.O0O,0OO In
figuring up the State tax rate the
comptroller estimated that the States
share of the revenue would be $4,000
600. The senator insisted that the
states share would be at least SO, 300,
600, but was willing to compromise, on
$2,0OO,OOO. The receipts to date, he
declares, demonstrate that his original
figures were correct. 1t Is stated that
the total will go as high as $IO,5O0. 600,
but he thinks that the rebates under
the law will take away nearly II not
quite $5OO,O00 a committee was ap-
pointed by the legislature to examine
into the workings of the law, and this
committee will meet at Albany on the
10th inst. The question OF strengthen.
ing the law so As to prevent evasions
and more severely punish violations
will be considered, and it is likely that
the committee will take up the investi-

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
improved Condition Of Corn and
Cotton I'm the Greater Portion of

Cotton in the Greater Portion of
the State.
The following bulletin covers the
week ending Saturday, July 4
Early in the week the winds were
hot and drying, and injurious to vege-
tatioD, but during the latter portion
more humid conditions prevailed
The sunshine was about "normal, ex-
cept in the eastern counties, notably
Berkeley, where the cloudiness was
greatest, with about half the average
per centage OF sunshine.
In general all the crops are doing
well, look promising and are much in
advance OF an average season. There
are local exceptions to the above con-
ditions, due to want of rain, or in
places, an excess of rainfall. Thus
while it is dry ip Aiken, Edgetied and
over portions OF the western counties
generally the rains have been more
copious than crops needed in Chester
field Berkeley and the eastern counties
generally.
Farmers are generally up with their
work, and such fields as are being laid
by are in a well cultivated, clean con-
dition.
Old corn is about made and promises
good yields, except that locally in q
few counties, notably Anderson, New
berl Aiken, Edgcfield, Union, Cla-
rendOL, York, Spartauburg, Laurens
and Lexington, it has been too dry,
and in few Of the lower counties it is
firing badly on sandy lands. Later
planting has generally good, healthy
color, and is being laid by, free from
grass and weeds, in iine growing con-
| ditiOn. The corn crop, as whole, is

Rain was needed in q number OF
counties. Lice have about all left cot

considerable damage, especially in

it looks wonderfully green and healthy
