temperature, during the week ending
September 4, 1900, averaged about nor

August 3Oth.
inc rains of last week were general,
heavy and continuous, oxcept ovor tho
northeastern portion of tho State, whore
showers only occurred. Tho rainfall for
tho week ranged from half an inch at
Chcraw to six and ono-half inches at
Charleston. The drought was effectually
broken.
Cotton did not receive much, If any,
benefit from tho rains, except possibly
very lato cotton that will now put on o
top crop. AS an effect of tho rain, rust
has increased and open cotton has become
stained, and somo blown to the ground !;
sprouting and rotting in tho bolls is also
quito general Fair weather is needed
for gathering cotton. Picking was TO-
tardcd by tho wet weather. Tho yield
prospects havo not improved and con-
tinuc poor. Soa-island cotton is opening
rapidly and is boing picked as it opens.
Blight and shedding continue.
Tho rains camo in time to holp late
corn, which Is now very promising whore
not boing destroyed by army worms
which infest nearly ovory county in tho
western portion of the State. But little
fodder could bo saved during tho week.
Early rico harvest is woll undor way.
and stacked rico suffered somewhat from
tho heavy rains, which however, wcro
very beneficial on lato rico.
Peas and peayincs for forage, as we'll
rs sugar cane, sweet potatoes, sorghum,
and peanuts, wore materially improved
by tho wct weather. Grass for hay ia
making rapid growth, but in the western
counties suffers froc, army worms. Tho
week afforded but littlo opportu Nv for
saving hay. Much land was sown and
rcsown in turnips. In tho trucking dig
tricts, cabbage and strawberry plants
woro set out, J, W. BAUER.

KIND AND COURTEOUS.

Tho propriotors of tho South Carolina
Baptist desire to mako public acknowl-
edgmont of tho many kind and courto-
GUS considerations which they have re-
,ceived from. that old and most reliable
paper, tho KE0wEE COURIER, of Wal
halla. Both of them feol that thoy are
under obligations to tho COURIER for tho
good beginning which tho Baptist is
making 10 oaonee county. Recently wo
,havo moro than doubled our list there
and wo confidently beliovo that it will
not be long until wo shall have tho
largest list of subscribers in that county
of any paper which is published beyond
Its borders. It strikes us that the CoU-
RIER and the Baptist are good compan-
ions and that about tho best thing that
overy Baptist family in Oconeo county
conld' do would DO for it to have the
South Carolina Baptist keep company
with tho COURIER in tho homo--indecd
tho Baptist would not harm our breth-
rem of other denominations, but it would
furnish them with somo powerful good
reading, and at tho moderate cost of ono
dollar q year."
We tako tho above paragraph from the
columns of tho South Carolina Baptist
of last wcok. Wo deeply fool tho good
opinions sand complimentary remarks
mado of us by tho editors Of that 1.-Two
and progressive paper, but at tho samo
time wo fool that wo do not deserve
credit fcT tic growth of tho Baptist in
tho estimation of tho Baptists in Oconco
county. The editors of that paper alono
can claim that credit. Thoir noble Cody
spirit and donominatioDal enterprise have
endearod thom to their brethren, and
well, do thoy deserve it. Their useful
ness has just begun, for tho great masses
are just beginning IL realize ;io, 1i;,oii.
tho South Carolina Baptist will bc to tho
cause Of Christianity.
Our Mr.. Shclor has and will accommo-
date our people by taking subscriptions
for the Baptist, and no feels that he is
doing our Baptist constituents favor in
80 doing. Wo would DO happy to SEQ
this bright paper find it's way to tho

Park IS Good Address.

& PpRoYipENCE RI ii, Septemb Der 4. = The
second meeting of the New England BIZ
metall lic League, at Crescent Park this
afterno Dor, was very largely attended and
representative Democrats from all the
New England States occupied tne I,ass.
form. Resolutions declaring for frce sill
Yer against militarism and uging the
nomination Of William j. Bryan for Presi-
dent were unanimously adopted. 4
Senator BENJAMIN II. Tillman, OF South
Carolina, was then introduced, and his
address was pnpctuated with oheors
throughout. He stated that the Spanish
war was worth all 1t cost II 1t has proved
nothing else than that tho South will
fight for the Stars and Stripes as eagerly
as will the North. He declares that un-
less the policy Of the Goyernmont Is
changed soon the Republic is doomed,
and will become q Government Of oppres-
sion of tho many by the few. He praised
New England for what it had .done for
the country, but called attention to the
fact that thero ai,o people enough, south
and west Of tho Potomac and tho Mis-.
sissippi to elect q President without the
aid of New England. :@
He said that wiile he noiieyai and
always would that the negro Is not the
equal of the white man, still he believed
in giving ',im his loyal rights, barring
tho polk >al side. He said tho negroes
did not know enough to vote, and in
South Carolina the whito people had
succeeded in disfranohising them until
they can road and write. -..E
Mr.. Tillman asked eff it was right
to froe Cuba because Spain had boon
shooting Cubans to-death, how is it to be
reconcilcd with the fact that tho Unitod
States, which now owned tho Philip
pines, was now shooting tho Filipinos
to death?" ...-.....
Flo said that he believed the President
is honest in his boliof that he is doing
his duty, but claimed that he only look
cd at tho one fact that tho United States
bought tho islands from Spain. Ho
asked whore the honor was in the Phil
ippino war. The South and South Caro-
lima will at any timo send as many mon
i'll proportion to its population rs any
State to any war of deconcy and honor,
but it will not send rogimont to tho

DEATH OF TWO GREAT AND GOOD MEN,
Dr. Grler, President OF Erskino C oge. and
Capt. Franz Melchers Pass Over the River.

DUE WEST, S. c., Sept. I.-Dr. Grier,
president of Erskino College for tho past
twenty-sevon years, died Sunday at 3.15
p. m. His death was very sudden and
entirely unexpected. Tho cause was
apoplcXy. Hc preached as usual in the
morning and fell unconcious on reach
his home and spoke no more. His death
was ono of tho sovorcst shocks over felt
here.
Under his management Erskine College
has prospercd rs it never did before in
It's history. Each succeeding year after
his first election ho was complimentcd
by the "oard of trustees of the institution
and unanimously reelected.
= Personally there was no man more
loved or respected than was DR.. Grier.
With kind, gentle nature, he was vet
1lrm and determined, and with bright,
cheerful, sympathetic disposition, that
made him loved wherever he was known.
The deceased graduated at Erskinc
College in 1850. JIo enlisted in tho
Sixth South Carolina rcgimcnt and lost,
leg III tho battle of williamsburg.
He studied theology and was pastor.,as
church in Wilcox county, -h.a-., and
afterward was elected President OF Frs
kline College, and hold that position at
tho timo of his death. t.
Io was ono or tho most distinguished
~etttss.~:s:tors of tho South, and noted for
his oloquonco as n preacher. For many
years he was editor of Tho Associate Re
formed Presbyterian, and held that posi-
tion until his death.
The death Of Maj Franz Mclchors, of
Charleston, which occurred or last Mon
day, September 4th, was not unexpected,
rs he has been in failing health for a
year. Only six or eight weeks ago he
badc farewell to tho State Press Asso-
citation at tho annual meeting, for ho was
thoroughly satisfied it was his last at
tendance upon an organization in which
ho had taken SO much pride and interest
Tor twenty-five years. Maj. Molchcrs
was tho editor of tho DoutGche Xcitung,
and had been tho faithful treasurer of
the Press Association for many years.
1Io came to Charleston in 1843, and was
soon engaged in tho newspaper business
with tho late Con. John A. Wagner.
In 1861 he volunteered with tho German
artillery, and served on tho coast of his
adopted State, ranking rs Major at tho
close of tho war. Ho served in tho Log
islaturo from 1876 to 1880, and then re-
tired from public lifo. His sterling quail
tiles and amiabo disposition made him q
great favorite among tho members of
his profession, who will sadly miss him
IN thoir annual gathcrings.--G -Grccnvillo
