Live Oak Democrat: Col. N. T. Elliott

A certain prominent young man of St
Augustine had occasion to take a short
trip into the country. He procured a sad
die horse, and, by mistake, was given a
pony that is used by the boys on their
evening lamp-lghting rounds. On the
way out of the city this pony stopped
at every lamp post he passed, and would
only move forward after his rider had
struck a match. When the lamp posts
gave out he stopped at every tree. and,
though the journey was rather slow, the
young man finished it with the expendi-
ture of about two dozen boxes of matches
which he was obliged to purchase.

Fall Work Has Been Begun-CottOn
Continues to DeteriOrate,

Continues to DeteriOrate,
The report of the South Carolina weather
bureau on crops for last week, says: 1.-THE
severe drought was broken by the rains
of the week, and the entire state is now
well watered, and the ground in fine con-
dition for blowing and sowing fall oats,
rye and barley, which work has actively
begun. Peas, turnips, late potatoes and
pastures were greatly benefited by the
rain, and also fall vegetables, gardens and
truck, but it came too late to materially
benefit corn or cotton, except very late
fields of the former and young immature
bolls OF the latter of which there are COM
paratively few.
Cotton reports are featureless for the
week, except that much open cotton was
blown to the ground on the 21st and end,
and beat into the dirt and stained by the
heavy rains Cotton picking was delayed
from one to three days by the unfavora-
bic weather and the heretofore rapid OPEN
ing of immature bols was largely check
ed. Otherwise the rain was of no benefit
to cotton, which is now so far advanced
as to be beyond liability of injury by frost
there being practically no top crop"
Cotton in many places is nearly all open
and over half of the crop has been gath
cred. The yield is reported to be smaller
than expected and generally disappoint-
ing.
There are many sections which will no
doubt make full crop, but such reports
are outnumhered, two to one, by reports
of yields falling below an average Sea is
land cotton was not injured by the storm,
on the contrary, the rain will materially
help the top crop" of which there is q
fair promise.
Corn is being gathered and the crop is
generally reported to be a full one and in
places an extra fine one
Rice harvest was somewhat delayed ear
ly i'm the week but was resumed during the
latter portion and is now practically COM
pleted. There are few reports indicating
poor yields Of rice, but generally this crop
is full average one or better, and has
been secured in excellent condition, 1t hav-
ing been not at all damaged by the storm.
Threshing is well under way.

CALIFORNIA. WINES.

The Investor of the 14th inst. says:
The latest advices from the north say
that a resolution has been adopted by
the trustees of the California Sweet
Wine association fixing the price of port
under its control at 321s and of angelica
at 35 cents gallon, naked. This is an
advance from last years prices of from
rs and 27 cents respectively The reason
assigned is that the vintage of sweet
varieties of wine is 81 third less than
that of 1895. which was about 4,5OO,0Oe
gallons. This would reduce the amount
to 1000, 900 gallons, about half OF which
is port and angelica, and half sherry,
muscat and malaga. The three last
named varieties are not in the combina-
ton, and their prices remain therefore
still open. Transfers Of dry wines to
the California Wine Makers corpora
tion from members aggregate now over
100000 gallons of the estimated ILL.,
100000 gallons which constitute the
yield. The corporation demands 20 cents
a gallon without cooperage as the min
imum price for these wines, price that
the large buyers refuse to give. The
latter have agents out in the vineyards
wha have made some purchases at 10
and II cents per gallon, but It ig re-
ported have about exhausted this source
of supply. Both buyers and sellers will
now hold off generally until March, the
former in hopes of purchasing under
and the latter in expectation of selling
20 cents minimum.
