THE WEATHER AND CROPS.
Weekly Review of United States
Weather Bureau for this State.

The following is the weekly bulletin
of the condition of the weather and
crops of the State issued Wednesday by
Director Bauer Of the South Carolina
section of the United States Weather
Bureaus climate and crop service:
The mean temperature, during the
week ending September II, 1899, aver
aged about SO degrees, which is nearly
I degrees per day above the normal.
A maximum of 101 was recorded at
Cheraw, and minimum Of 81 at Tenn
perance.
There were local showers over the
entire State, light along the coast and
over the Pee Dee region, heavy over
the central and western counties, wnere
many localities had weekly amounts in
excess of two inches. The need of rain
is indicated for the two regions first
named, while dry weather is needed to
permit gathering crops over the greater
portion of the State.
Army worms either have already dis
appeared or are fast disappearing
Corn has recently come into silk a2d
tassel, and on bottom lands, looks
promising, but generally the crop has
not improved and is poor one. Fod-
der pulling is nearly finished and the
fodder has been secured in good condi-
ton.
Locally heavy rains and high winds
damaged open cotton, and few re-
ports of rotting and sprouting were re-
ceived. Picking was retarded in few
western counties by wet weather, but
generally it made rapid progress, as from
half to two-thirds of the bolls are open,
caused by the continued excessive heat.
In sections, about all the cotton will be
gathered during this month. There will
be no top crop over most Of the State,
although late cotton is still growing and
blooming, as it is improbable that fruit
age now being put on will have time to
mature before frost. Also, much cot
ton is not growing at all, the stalks hay-
ing reached full maturity. Poor yields
are reported from all sections, and as
picking advances, the tendency IS to re-
duce previous estimates. Sea island
cotton has improved slightly, although
it is rusting and is opening slowly.
Second growth is also damaging pre-
railing condition.
The weather was ideal for harvesting
rice, aud about half the crop has been
cut and stacked, while the remainder
is ripening fast.
Sorghum is being pressed and boiled
with fairly good yields Of excellent
quality of syrup. Grass for hay and
pastures is making rapid growth. Pea
vines being cut for forage. Peas have
improved except in Marlboro and Ches-
terfeld counties, where hot, dry wcath-
er ruined them. The general prospect
for minor crops is now quite promising,
especially so for Ieet potatoes. In the
truck regions, fall crops are being
planted, and the second crop Of Irish

a Brutal Assault.

Four or FIVE men went to the aims
house in Transylvania county \. C..
about ten days ago and entered the
room of Brazil Chapel, weak minded
white woman, choking her to prevent
an outcry. The men carried her to the
bushes and assaulted her, keeping her
there several hours. She crawled back
to the house about 3 o'clock a. m and
told her story. The matter was kept
quiet till the officers could secure clues.
On Sunday the first arrest was made,
the sr.gcct being Tillman Anderson,
u negro, John Gather, another negro
suspect, was arrested in Asheville and
taken to Brevard, the county seat Of
Pennsylvania. John CASTOR, negro,
and John Stancill, white, are also sus-
pected and warrants are out for them.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Stage Held Up by Solitary Robber
Who Took the Box.

\ dispatch from Napa, CAL, says the
Caligtoga and Lakeport stage vas held
up Thursday by solitary highwayman,
who made off with the express box.
At the scene of the robbery the road
runs through heavy underground, and
coming suddenly around a curve the
stage driver was confronted by mask
ed robber, who covered him with his
shotgun and ordered him to stop. The
passengers were then commanded to
dismouRt from tie stage and were
drawn ND in row while the highway
men aLst: acted the box of Wells, Fargo
& Co., bat Lett the United States mail
bag.
The highwayman then turned his at
tention to the row Of eight frightened
passengers, whom he commanded to
deposit on the ground their money and
valuables; Rev. G. T. Coz, pastor Of
the Methodist church at Middleton,
handed the bandit s. remarking: 4
am poor preacher and that is all |
have" Upon this statement the high
wayman handed the minister back 81
in change.
"All right, pard," he said, here's
one simoleon for luck. "
Newton Stiff, an old resident of Mid
dleton, had considerable sum in his
purse, but slipped the wallet inside his
long boot, giving the robber only the
loose silver in his pocket.
In all about SIS in cash was secured
from the passengers in addition to
watches, chains and trinkets. The rob-
Der then plunged into the thicket which
adjoins the road, and the last heard of
him was report, which probably in
dicated the blowing off Of the lc@k o.
the express box.
