WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
COLUMBIA, S. c., June 6, 1899.

The week ending June 9Th
averaged from 4 to 7 degrees per
day warmer than usual, with uni
formly high day and about nor
NAL night temperatures.
The rainfall for the week came
in the form of scattered showers,
accompanied by hail and high
winds In places, which caused but
little injury to crops. The rain
fall measurements ranged from
nothing to over two inches, the
latter at Blackville and States
burg, with over an inch of rain
at a number of widely separated
points, but generally the meas
urements were less than half an
inch. More rain is needed over
the entire State. The deficiency
in rainfall since March 1st varies
from 4 to 7 inches.
The general absence of heavy
rain was favorable for cultivating
field crops, which are clean and
well worked and also harvesting
wheat and oats, the latter crop
being nearly all cut, with yields
below the average over the entire
State; the gain IS reported light
in places. Wheat now promises
about an average yield.
Corn was improved where rain
fell; its condition is, however, far
from promising, and crop is being
seriously damaged by worms.
Early corn is being 'laid by"
With few scattered exceptions,
reports on cotton are that the
crop is doing we'll, and although
small and growing slowly, the
fields are clean. In few locali-
ties cotton is putting on shapes.
Tobacco is not doing so well
this week as last, the drought
having injured it in places. and
grasshoppers continue to infest
it over the northern portion of
the district. but no further injury
from worms was reported.
Rice is generally doing well,
but in Colleton County caterpil
lars continue destructive in the
Georgetown district they were
destroyed by water. Preparations
for June paintings well advanced.
Melons are suffering for rain,
but on the whole the crop is in
good condition and is putting on
fruit.
1t has been too dry to trans.
plant many sweet potato slips.
Peas are being sown on stubble
lands. Gardens and truck patches
are failing Pastures are parched.
All crops are in eXcellcct con-
dition for rain.

NEW PROBLEMS IN PORTO RICO.

One of the unexpected results of the
capture of Porto Rico is the ruin of
the Catholic churches of the island.
Until the date of the capture, the
Spanish Government supported those
churches. The priests were not re-
spected, but they maintained some
control over the people, especially the
women. The destruction of Spanish
rule carried with it the support of the
churches The 100000 of inhabitants
are relapsing into heathenism. The
American Government will not assist
the Catholic churches, because il is
not the national policy to assist any
religion. The Protestant churches OF
America will undoubtedly send many
excellent missionaries to the island.
but the people, ignorant and suspi-
ciOus, will not receive them cordially.
If the success of missions in Spain
measure the success of missions to
Porto Rico, there will be no encour-
agement for many years. If the sue
| cess of Protestant missions among the
| Spanish residents of New Mexico, also,
| is a just measure of the success OF
similar missions in the island, the out
| look will not be encouraging.
| An able writer on the subject de
clares that the Catholic Church of
America will be the most valuable and
efficient force for bringing the people
| of the island within religious influ-
ences
The colonial rule will gradually es-
tablish secular schools, and there will
be a demand for a large number of
American teachers in these schools.
Will instruction be in the Spanish or
English language? Can the Federal
learn the English language? In the
cases of Louisiana and Florida the
| transition from the use of the Spanish
| and French languages to the English
| was not difficult, owing to the rapid
| influx of English-speaking people
But there is little room in the island
| for American settlers.
How are the children of the island
| to be trained in the principles of self
government? How are the people to
| be 'leavened" with correct ideas OF
democracy?
An enterprsing, thrifty and indus
trious people would, of their own ac-
cord, seek a knowledge Of the English
language and of American ideas. The
Porto Ricans are not enterprising, or
| thrifty, or industrious.
| they be solved?

WOMEN AND ANIMALS.

In spite of their political disabilities,
the women are already a strong polit-
icaa and social force. Their efforts are
especially directed on the lines which
men have generally neglected. These
efforts arouse the moral sense. and are
reflected in legislation. The Legisla-
ture OF the state of Washington,
through the influence of wOmel- large
ly, passed a law, requiring teachers III

\ STORY or THE POPE.

A FREE HOSPITAL.

a free hospital has become an absO-
lutte necessity. Until lately, there was
no imperative demand for one, al
though it would have been quite con-
yenient. The condition Of the coun-
Try since annexation has SO changed,
it is now necessary A commercial
port, above all other places, requires
a free hospital. The care of the sick
as now ass much Of a social necessity
as sewerage or prisons. The Obliga-
ton to take care Of the afflicted is no
longer a loose one, but a stringent one.
Dives cannot permit Lazarus to lie in
the streets and trust to the nursing of
the dogs.
Although private charity does much,
it is an injustice upon those who fur
nish it, to place an unequal burden
upon them 1t is the experience of
every community that it is not the
rich who bear the burden of caring for
the sick, but the poor and those whose
circumstances bring them into con-
tact with suffering. 1t has been re-
peatedly said, in the cities, that the
poor carry a burden of caring for the
sick out of all proportion to their
means, in comparison with the rich.
1t becomes the duty of the state to
divide the burden equally upon all
according to property.
The establishment of several hospi-
tails on these Islands, especially one in
this city, of the most approved kind,
and with the most thorough equip
ment, could be made with only a slight
tax upon the personal property of the
Islands
If this plan is not feasible let the
Government appropriate 10000 acres
of good cane land, which has now little
value, for a sugar plantation, issue
stock to the extent of three millions
of dollars upon it, turn over the stock
to the public for cash capital and re-
tain one million of the stock as pro
moter.' This stock, made over to
trustees, would establish and endow a
free hospital, as well as other charita-
BILE institutions. According to some of
the social theorists, the state should
own and operate quasi-public corpora
tions. A moderate experiment might
be made on these lines by the promo
ton of a sugar corporation, in which
the State would represent Humanity,
as a promoter, and turn the profits
over for the general good of all. AS a
proposition to enrich individuals, there
is nothing startling in it. AS a prop
Osition to alleviate the miseries of the
world, it is indeed rather radical, and
is open to the criticism of giving hui
mainly altogether too much of a good
thing
The free hospital ought to be built
quickly however. because progressive
communities build them, and 1t will
hurt our feelings to have tourists
point us out as ''backwoods lot who
neglect modern Improvements.
