a Senator 1illman Ilade . speech ut
Greenwood last "Wednesday, In which he
said q little about the proposed revival
Of wheat culture and good deal about
politics He again denied that he had
said that all Prohibitionists arc towards
and hypoorites but said that some of
thom arc, and reiterated that prohibition
would mako people lie to got whiskoy,
etc. Ho also referred to the lawlessness
prevalent in Green wood. and on this
subject is reported by tho Columbia
State as fellows: r.
Ho paid a compliment to Greonwood's
citizenship; but ho took up tho white;
capping which makes people afraid to
sleop at night, within five mics of tho
court house. This he denounced bitter
ly. He told of tho Phoonix riot and said
he didn't blame tho white people then.
'If had boon here would have gone
with you. / have mover yet failed to
uphold tho banp or of white supremacy
against tho dovil, tho world and tho Rad
icals." q.
The Tolbcrts ho denounced but tho
negroes should DO lot alono and DO given
protection. If you want to uproot tho
snake and kill it, 60 and kill tho Tol-
bcrts (cheors). But don't bother poor
negroes who havG nothing to do with tho
rolberts. Don't abuse tho poor black
devils. Tho raco problem is coming to
tho front in tho United Statos. This
Jowott woman has come to Charleston
and takon tho Baker family to Boston,
the ccntro of doyiltry. BY allowing tho
thoughtless, lawlcss mon to whip tho
negroes, you give ammunition to your
enemies in tho North. This anarchy
will spread to Edgciiold and Abbeville.
You arc masters, and while we must
mako tho negroes lot our politics and
women alono, thoy must not bo beaten
and abused.
If this thing continues, you will be de-
privcd of labor by an exodus of negroes,
and moreover capital will bo driven off.
You must mako tho negro respect you
and keep his place; but you cannot af-
| ford to whip and kill negroes in this
cowardly way. At present the Yankees
arc disposed to lot us alono except to
cut down our representation because

The annual reunion Of this famous

a startlng incident, of which Mr..

My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunkon,

The contention existing in the Uni,od
States as to. the wisdom and rcctitudc Of
the effort made by the administration at
Washington through force of arms to
subject tho people Of the Philippines to
onr will and govern item by our laws,
soems to grow in intensity as the next
election draws nearer. The question of
our action in the Philippine war is sure
to assume prominent place in the poll
tics of the next campaign Many con
tentiens now exist, both for and against

tho consent of tho governed, cannot he

COLUMBIA, S. c., August %, 1890.
Tho week ending August 81, 1909, con-
tanned Il fow days with normal temporal.
turo, but the week averaged about two
degrees hotter than usual, with Il maxi
mum temperature of 90 at Greenwood.
Tho passage Of q hurricane off tho
coast gave fairly good rains over tho
Southeastern shird of tho State whero,
in consequence, crops arc doing we'll,
but over tho Central, Western and North
crn counties there was practically no
rain, and all crops-staplo, field forage
and food-aro failing rapidly, and their
condition is worry low.
The passing Of tho hurricane caused
high Northcastcrly winds, which were
detrimental to crops in tho interior, and
damaged rice by whipping out grains,
blow down corn, fencing and trees, and
caused slight injury to sca-island cotton.
No damage resulted from high tides.
The reports on cotton arc not encourage
ing, as the crop over the greater portion
of tho State has dcterioratcd from rust,
shedding, premature opening, and too
early maturity. Tho lint is short, bolls
arc small and no top crop making. 1t is
Sca-island cotton is doing well; it is
opening and picking has begun.
EARLY corn is poor and beyond improve
mGnt. Late corn stands in urgent need
of rain to make oven an ordinary crop.
Fodder pulling is finished in places and
under way elsewhere.
tobacco harvest is about finished, OK
ccpt over the Western districts, where it
is drawing to a close. Tho yields arc
generally satisfactory, but worms are
still troublesome.
Rice is heading we'll. In some sec
tions harvesting is under way, and will
soon be general. Upland rico is very
poor.
1t is too dry for turnips to come up or
grow over tho. Western counties. Tho
areas OF heaviest rainfall define tho areas
OF good minor crops. Sweet potatoes
arc doing well generally. In tho western
portions of tho State pastures arc burnt
