THE WEATHER.
High Northerly Winds and a Falling
Barometer.

The Weather Bureau reports show
the highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday to have ben 20 and 90 de-
grees, with high northwesterly winds
and clear weather prevailing.
The barometrical readings at . a. m
and 5 p. m. yesterday were 30.O2 and
2.9.S9 inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were Sc and 81
degrees, and one year ago to-day q
and 81 degrees.
The wind yesterday was bowling
along at the rate of from thirty to forty
miles per hour from the northwest.
while at the same time San Francisco
was basking in clear sunshine and al
most MINDLESS weather.
AS is always the case when high
northerly winds prevail in the interior,
they counterbalance the winds from
off the ocean and produce almost dead
calm. This rs why the city by the sea
suffers so with heat in the summer
1t gets the northerly winds from the
land, which are always warm along
the coast, and which also prevent the
fog and fog producing winds from
reaching the shore, consequently warm
er weather prevails along the coast.
The fall in the barometer during the
twelve hours ending at o'clock last
evening was 10 of an inch, which
shows that there are atmospheric dis
turbances at work outside the limits
of California, and this falling barom-
eter may indicate an approaching
low" which may mean rain after the
wind-up of this norther. The latter has
really been of more damage than bene-
fit.
This has been the most peculiar
spring that has been experienced since
regular meteorological observations
have been recorded in this State.

Many Inquiries

Have been made by my patients this
week as to what is astigmatism. For
the benefit of the public in general l
wish to state here that astigmatism is
the result of an imperfect formation Of
the refractive media of the eye, is COM
mon to both far-sight and near-sight.
1t causes great strain to the eye and
produces sick headache, nervousness,
cross-eyes, weak eyes, dizziness, sore
eyes, blinking, watery lids, frown-
ing, infiamed lids, pain in back
of head, granulated lids. The only
remedy for this eye strain is glasses
properly fitted to the eyes. If you have
any of these troubles F. de Wolfe Hen
nah will give you examina tion and con-
sultation free of cost at his office, the

THE WEATHER. AND CROPS.
Ihe Conditions are Favorable and
the Crops Promising.

Director Bauer, of the weather
bureau, has issued the following bull
letln for the week ending Saturday,
June 20:
The week was favorable for clean
ing crops, and there is but little COM
plant OF grass. 1t was also favOra bic
for growth, and all crops, with the OK
ceptlon OF cotton, made satisfactory
advance. Farmers are we'll up with
their work, and the agricultural situa-
tlon is very encouraging as far as
promised production is concerned
Corn was never more promising
generally, although on sandy soil, in a
lew counties where there have been
excessive rains, early corn was
slightly yellowed,. and two CORES
pondents reported corn ''liring." Late
planting has a good color and is we'll
cultivated with enough moisture to
make continuous and rapid growth.
Ihe reports on co IN are less favor
able, especially during the early part
of the week, but latter an improve
mcnt was noted. Lice and cool nights
retarded the development of cotton,
but with the exception of small areas,
where stands were killed out, no per-
manent injury is apparent. Lice
seemed to be decreasing at the end of
the week. The plant turned yellow
and the lower leaves dropped off in

tire matter. No fair-miuded person
In South Carolina will assert that |

cepting fec for my services.
Now let Us SEQ what Governor Till
man and Treasurer Bates have saved
the State by this s0-callcd bond deal.
IN lS92, while this matter was pending,
mr.. john q. Haskell had introduced
INTO the House of Representatives q
joint resolution extending tho time for
the payment of the bonds for Il period of
TOUR years at the rate Of 6 per cent. per
annum. He stated in advocacy Of the
re resolution that by reason of the strin-
gency Of money and the lack of con-
hdence In Tillman's administration, it
would be impossible to refund the debt
atany rate. If his suggestion had been
adopted the sum of $78,5S0 per annum
would have been levied upon the tax
payers OF this State, Or u total inS four
years OF $3l5, ,320. This would have
been $l97, l95 more than Tilhnan and
Bates paid for the redemption 0: the
entire Indebtedness. The old debt was
drawing interest at the rate of per
cent. per annum. or in round numbers
S3l5, 900 per annum. AS refunded by
Illlman it draws 4 IL por cent. per
annum, on $233, $50 in round numbers,
saving to the taxpayers of $7S, $50
Der annum, moro than enough to pay
the salaries Of the governor and treas.
urer Tor over l5 years. At the end of
~ years the State has the option OF
rcfunding the entire debt at q lower
rate OF interest, or Of continuing it at
the same rate for 20 years longer. At
the expiration of 20 years the Tillman
pond deal will have saved the taXpay-
ers 81 $l,5Io,000, or nearly one-third of
the entire debt. At the expiration OF
40 years tho taxpayers will have saved
S5, lou, 600 in interest alone, moro than
enough to buy the entire county OF
Clarendon at its assessed valuation
FOR taxation. Under this act u sinking
fund has been provided for which it
sets apart SO, 90 per amen out OF the
phosphate royalty. The State now has
over $l00,0O0 drawing interest at AZ
per cent. which is being compounded.
at the end Of 20 years this fund will
amount to at least 81 100000 and we
Will retire that much of the State
debt, leaving a balance Of $3,60O.0 900 to
be refunded. At the expiration of 40
years the entire debt will have been
paid.

this great work for the people? |

A SIX ETCU or HIS LIFE.

The News and Courier prints tho
following sketch OF Judge Earle, which
will be found interesting
Judge Joseph II. Earle was born in
Grecnvillo County, S. c., April 30,

Unlv6 rsity, taught school for q few
years in Clarendon County, and was,
in 1868, appointed principal of the
Chick Springs Academy, in Greenville
years and discharged the responsible
duties OF that position with fidelity and
ability. He was admitted to the Bar
in 1870, and practiccd law at Anderson
Colrt' House until 1875, at which time
he removed to Sumter. He was the
Democratic nominee for the House in
1876, but Withdrew from the race a
short time before the election. lie

for the House, in 1878, and was elected,
served one term in tho Legislature,
and in 1882 was elected Senator, which
position he filed with ability and
with fidelity to his constituents and
the State. Judge Earle was O delegate
to the National Democratic Convention
in 1880, ~and again in 1884, and was
chosen to represent South Carolina in
the committee which notified Cleye-
land of his nomination. In 1886 he was
elected Attorney General of the State,

with distinction and ability. In 1890
