The Crop Outlook in South Carolina.

The Crop outlook in South Carolina.
j. w. Bauer, Section Director, sends
the following from Columbia under date
of Juno 9th:
The week ending Juno 9TH averaged
from 4 to degrees pc. day warmer than
usual, with uniformly high day and
about normal night temperatures.
The rainfall for the week came i'm tho
form of scattered showers, accompanied
by hail and high winds in places, which
caused but little injury to crops. Tho
deficiency in rainfall since March lst
varies from to 7 inches.
The general absence Of heavy rain
was favorable for cultivating field crops,
which arc clean and we'll worked; and
also for harvesting wheat and oats tho
latter crop being nearly all cut, with
yields below the average over the entire
State. Tho grain is reported light in
places. Wheat now promises about ar
average yiold.
Corn was improved where rain fell.
Its condition is, however, far from prom
ising, and tho crop is boing seriously
damaged by worms. Early corn is being
"laid by"
With fcw scattered EXCEPTIONS reports
Oil cotton arc that tho crop is doing
well, and, although small and growing
slowly, the folds are clean. In n few
localities cotton is putting on "shapes"
Melons arc suffering for rain, but, on
tho whole, tho crop is in good condition
and is putting on fruit.
1t has been too dry to transplant many
sweet potato slips. Peas are being sown
on stubble lands. Gardens and truck
patchcs arc failing. Pastures arc
parchcd. All crops arc In oxcoliont oon-
ditiOn for rain.
j. p. Stribling, tho local observer for
Oconoc county, writing from Richland,
says:
Tho dry weather continues In this
county; wcok very warm; wheat ia
maturing very fast; oats almost fail

FRENCH VIEW


OF the Seizure 1ncident-But It e
Not Thought England and the
United States WIN Have ssriouH
Misunderstanding = Delagoa Bay
Nay Become Interesting Center Of
Operations.
NEW YORK. Dec. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says: The de-
mands that are being made in certain
quarters in England for immediate ac-
ton on the part OF the British govern
ment to prevent the transport Of sup
plies to the Beers by way Of Delagoa
Bay have quickened French interest in
the rumored possibility Of trouble be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain in consequence Of the seizure by
British cruisers Of American -four on
Lourenzo Marques. Nothing SO tickles
the French palate as the merest suspIc-
ion of possibility OF seeing Anglo
American auarrels grow out of the
Transvaal war.
NJ. Flourens, former minister for
foreign affairs, in the following remarks
on the subject. reflects the moderate
French opinion: I'm my Judgment" he
said to-day, "the British naval COM
mander acted over hastily II he made
the seizure reported. Such action viii
be particularly unfortunate in the case
of American ships: but on the other
hand, the fact that American cargues
are the ones involved is sufficient
ground for assurance that no new in
ternational complications viii arise. No
breach OF the present friendly relations
between the two countries can be re-.
garded as possible and in a very few
days the episode probably will sink into
inslgniicance.
Some such incident as the one now
occupying the Washington state de-
partment was to be foreseen, owing to
the British governments natural irrita-
don over the trend OF affairs at Delagol
Bay. II the rumors that succOr is
reaching the Beers by way of Lourtn-
20 Marques are true theh EVE1ubuess
East Africa is likely to become an In
terestIng centre Of war operations. for
such violation of neutrality Great Bril-
tain can not tolerate. Downing street
probably WIN put an end to the abuse.
II 1t exists, but do not think the result
Will be Portugal's loss Of the colony.
AIt the nsws from IourenEo Marques,
however, is too vague to serve as
ground for an opinion and those here
are rash who attempt to prophecy just
what WILDE the course of events there"
