The Man Who Drinks.

The business world recognizes
that no man who drinks is as
good as he would be if he never
drank. Time was when in Ger =
tain lines Of business it was neces>
sary to drink. Quite the contra>
ry is the case now. Even saloon
men prefer bal keepers who do
not drink the liquids they sell.
All the fairy tales about tie great
things people do when under the
influence of hquor have been ex.
ploded. The orator who must be
intoxicated in order TO make q
speech is no longer here and he
has never been here. Tie lawyer
who cannot plead a case or cite an
authority without spending the
night before in bar room has
gone to visit the pale glimpses Of
the moon and he has always been
gone. The writer who produces
a great poem or a great essay
while maudlin removed from this
planet before the command "Let
there be light " was given. The
bookkeeper, clerk, mechanic,
salesman, artisan, young or old,
Is not at his best while under the
influence of liquor and he is not
as valuable to himself, his em-
ployer or society. In the race of
life the temperate man has the best
of it; the drinking man is handi-
capped. Great things have been
done while the brain was excited
by stimulants, but greater things
would have been done had there
been no artificial stimulation.
The sober man is always an im-
provement on the drunken man.

CONDITION OF THE CARO-.
LIMA CROPS.
Weekly Review of United States
Weather Bureau.

The following is the weekly
bulletin by Director Bauer of the
South Carolina section of the Uni
ted States weather bureau:
The temperature during the
week ending June 26th averaged
neal ly normal, with cool nights
early in the week, but not cold
enough to check the growth of
crops.
The rainfall was confined to
small areas in the southeastern
portion of the State, where light
to heavy showers occurred on the
21st, accompanied in places by
damaging hail and high winds. A
light shower occurred in other
portions OF the State on the same
date. 1t is very dry over the
north central and northwestern
counties, where crops of all kinds,
except possibly early cotton, are
suffering for rain.
The weather was favorable for
cultivating field crops, and but
few reports of grassy fields we're
received. Bud worms continue
to devastate cora and tobacco,
catterpillars to destroy rice, and
lice have appeared on young cot
ton in single county.
Cotton continues to do we'll,
with a rapid growth except in the
cup, country" where the soil
lacks moisture, but the crop as u
whole is very promising. Blooms
are reported from nearly every
section of the State. Sea Island
cotton is in excellent condition
and blooming freely.
Corn improved generally, but
is not promising except over linn
tied areas. Wolms threaten it's
ruin on bottom lands In Pickens
county, and have injured it Sc
verely elsewhere. Laying by is
general.
Tobacco varies greatly through
out the district. Reports of dam
age by worms are numerous, and
many report very poor stands.
Cutting and curing has begun,
but this work will not be general
until the first week in July.
Rice planting is finished. Young
rice is being injured by catterpil-
lars Fresh water flooding is
needed in some sections and is not
available.
Wheat and oats threshing is
nearly finished; yields of wheat
fall below the average, and of oats
are generally poor.
Melons are poorer in places,
and generally late. Grapes rot
tening some. Apples generally
plentiful, but are dropping badly.
Slow progress is being made in
setting sweet potato slips. Irish
potatoes are q failure. Pastures
improving slowly. Peas being
sown on stubble and in with corn
where the soil will admit.

Commissioner S. w. Carr and Deputy
Commissioner c. w. Fletcher went to
Bangor, Monday morning, to investigat"
a fire in that section, that is Of doubtful
origin. Before going Mr.. Carr informed
the Journal that he had just receive /
word from BOothbay Harbor that w. +.
Merrill Of that town, had been arraigne /
charged with setting fire TO his buildings
and had waived examination. The justice
placed him under $500 bonds to await the
action OF the grand jury Of the county.
Besides these cases there is a very curl
Gus one in Lewiston that is engrossing
the attention of the department. The
Lewiston case involves the burning of !
set Of buildings that We're valued at $ll, 0ot
and the circumstances do not give very
bright outlook for the person suspected.
Then the department has a case or
hand that is almost the parallel of the
Oakland Lila May Knox case of last
year. This case is another where it Is
supposed that a woman out of jealousy
tried to burn the house where the object
of her affections was sleeping. Someone,
and 1t is supposed it was the woman,
started a fire outside the door of a house.
The fire burned the door badly but dii
not set the house afire, as it was discov-
cred by a man who was passing.
Taken altogether there is soon to be
some lively times connected with the in
surance department. as the cases are pill
ing up so very fast.
1T is the hardest thing in the world TO
fix case upon any one unless some one
saw them do the deed or unless the ac-
cused confesses." the commissioner often
remarks. But we believe every case
where we do our best ana show that We
are watching them, will help to lessen
the number of incendiary fires by making
the wouldbe perpetrators of the crime
afraid to do the deed. BY securing con-
victon now ana then az We DO. we be
