weather and Crops.

Continued dry weather prevailed dur
ing the past week over the entire State
except in the extreme northeastern
counties, where local showers fell. The
tobacco crop in some sections of the
State was damaged by frost. The cot
ton crop is nearly all opened, and pick
ing is progressing rapidly and favora-
bly,, and the bulk of the crop in the
State wilf~be gathered by the 10th of
October. The drouth has greatly
shortened the crop, and from one-third
to one-half is variously estimated. Early
corn matured rapidly; late corn is
greatly shortened, and this portion of
the crop will amount to but little in
most sections; much of it has been cut
for forage. Late crops, particularly in
the Middle and Western sections, where
the drouth has been most severe, are
much reduced in prospective yield, and
in some counties some of them are pos
tive failures, notably the second crop
of Irish potatoes, late millet and tur-
nips. Pastures have dried up in many
places, and corn has been gathered from
many fields in order to provide stock
with paSturage

Cigarette Law Declared Unconstitutional.

Cigarette Law Declared Unconstitutional.
In the case of w. S. Sawrie VS.. the
State of Tennessee, which is known as
the cigarette case, Judge Lurton of the
United States circuit court delivered an
opinion at Nashville last week which
declares that the law as passed by the
last Tennessee legislature is repugnant
to the commercial clause of the consti-
tuition of the United States. The con-
cluding paragraph of the opinion is as
follows: "But this Tennessee statute,
in SO far as it prevents the importation
and sale in original packages by the inn
porter, is not quarantine or inspection
statute and is not based upon the state
or condition of the cigarette. The
Tennessee statute is too broad and is
repugnant to the commercial clause of
the constitution of the United States,
in so far as it inhibits the importation
of cigarettes from foreign nations or
other States, or their sale by the im-
porter in the form in which they were
imported. 1 reach this conclusion with
out any hesitation, though reluctant to
strike down statute aimed at the sup
preston of an evil of the most pro-
nounced character"
