THE CROPS AND WEATHER.
What the Department Of Agriculture
Says About Them.

The following is the weekly bulletin
of the condition Of the weather and
crops in the State issued Tuesday by
Section Director Bauer of the United
States Weather and Crop service:
The week ending July 9th averaged
about 3 degrees per day hotter than
usual, with weekly mean tempera-
ture of 81 degrees, but the maximum
temperature did not reach the extreme
figure Of the previous week. The
nights were uniformly hot.
There were light, scattered sho sers
on the 18th, and the two following
dates, but at few points only was the
rainfall heavy enough to break the
drought. Charleston had LOO inch;
Kingstree LOS; and Summerville 3.13
inches; elsewhere the amounts were
generally under half an inch, while
over the greater portion of the State
practically no rain fell. The drought
has reached a serious stage. Crops OF
all kinds have dcteriorated, and some,
such as old corn, etc., are IN places
ruined. The prospects are reported to
be gloomy and appalling in places.
No amount Of rainfall, correspondents
say. would restore the falling crops to
profitable yields. Water for stock is
scarce, and ia places cattle are report
ed dying. Light showers have fallen
in portions of the State since most OF
the reports were received.
Cotton failed rapidly, and drought
stopped its growth, it is turning yellow
as though maturing, and is shedding
leaves and fruit. The plants are bloom
ing to the top. These are the prevail
ing conditions, but in spots cotton con-
tinues to do we'll. Sea-island cotton,
while generally in excellent condition
is blighting toa considerable extent.
Old corn is injured beyond recovery
in many counties, and generally it is
but poor crop. Corn on bottom lands
is very good. Fodder pulling has be-
gun in the eastern counties.
Tobacco vas severely injured in
places by the drought and extreme
heat; the leaves are sunburned, and
the quality Of the crop is reduced.
Where timely rains fell; the cropis very
fine. Curing is general.
Early rice is heading. The crop
stands in need Of rain. generally, and
of water for flooding, where not laid by.
Upland rice has suffered from the heat
and drought.

Lower Freight.

Tie railroad commission has promul-
gated the new local tariff on cotton,
which is of great Importance not only
to railroads, but cotton shippers and
growers as well. The rates are reduc-
tior of from 25 to 30 per cent. on rates
formerly existing in this State, and are
said to lower than those of any State
in the South. The commission and the
railroad officials have had this matter
nnder consideration for year.

Pore Naser Il Blue.

A well-known scientist says that the
true color of pure water is blue, and
that this is characteristic Of the wa
ter itself and is not due to rejection
rom the surface nor from suspended
narticles. Lake Geneva is an example
Of the blue Of pure water.

Level Sea Bottom.

The bottom of the Pacific between
Hawaii and California is said to be so
level that a railroad could be laid for
500 miles without grading anywhere.
This fact was discovered by the United
States surveying vessel engaged in
making soundings with a view OF lay

"Ah, yes said Mrs. Hambus, "war is

exclaimed Willie wimbledon. II

business. Let every day have its hour
for worship and intellectual culture
and recreation. Show yourself great
er than your business. Act not as
though after death you would enter
upon an eternity Of railroad stocks and
cofees and ribbons. Roast not your
manhood before the perpetual fires OF
anxiety. With every yard Of cloth
you sell, throw not in your soul to boot:
Use frkin and counting room desk and
hardware crate as the step to glorious
usefulness and highest Christian char
acter. Decide once and forever who
shal! be master in your store, you or
your business.
Again, business men are often tempt
ed to let their calling interfer with the
interests o. the soul. God sends men
into the business world to get educated
just as boys are sent to school and
college. Purchase and sale, loss and
gain, disappointment, prosperity, the
dishonesty Of others, panic and bank
suspension are but different lessons in
the school. The more business The
more means OF grace. Many have gone
through widest panic unhurt. Are
you not afraid you will break" said
some one to q merchant in time Of
great commercial excitement. He re-
piled, "Aye, l shall break when the
fftieth psalm breaks, in the fifteenth
verse, Call upon me in the day Of
trouble, and | will deliver thee. "
The store and the counting house
lave developed some Of the most stall
wart characters. Perhaps originally
they had but little sprightliness and
force, but two or three hard business
thumps woke them up from their leth-
argy, and there came a thorough de-
velopment in their hearts of all that

business dishonor, and you will avoid
all the rest. The captain of a vessel
was walking near the mouth Of river
when the tide vas low, and there was a
long, stout anchor chain, into one Of

ed, and it began to SWELL, and he could
not withdraw it. The tide began to
rise. The chain could not be loosened
nor filed of in time, and surgeon was
called to amputate the limb, but before
the work could be zone the tide rolled
over the victim, and his life was gone.
l have to tell you, young man, that
just Que wrong into which you slip may
be link Of long chain Of circumstan-
ces from which you cannot be extricat-
ed by any ingenuity OF your own or any
help from others, and the tides will
roll over you as they have over many.
When Pompey, the warrior, wanted to
take possession Of city and they would
not open the gates, he persuaded them
to admit ssck soldier. But the sick

and he threw open the gates ana let the
devastating army comein. One wrong
admitted into the soul may gain in
strength until after awhile it filings open
all the gates to the attack OF SIN, and
the ruin is complete.
Again, business men are sometimes
tempted to throw off personal response
| h;lifv shifting If TO the institution tC
which they belong. Directors in bank:
and railroad and insurance companle:
sometimes shirk personal responsibility
underneath the action Of the corporation
and hew often, when some banking

LOGAN At OMAHA
Is Interviewed on Island
Affairs.
What Horo,uiu's Veteran so,tor
Has to Say on the Anomalous
Situation Here.

Dan Logan. secretary of the Hawaii
an Commission to the Omaha EXPOSE
ton, has been interviewed by the Oma
ha Bee on affairs In the Islands. and
this is what he had to say:
The Hawaiians will probably, as a
general thing" said Mr.. Logan, "ac-
oept the situation when the United
States Congress gives new form of
government to the Islands. With a
few exceptions, mainly composed of
Office holders and employees of the
Government, the natives have until
now refused to take part in public af-
fairs, while those whom they blame for
the loss of their country's independ-
ence, as they call 1t, hold power. This
attitude was very pronounced when
registration was going ahead lately for
a general election, which, under the
laws of the Republic of Hawaii, would
have come due next autumn. No pub
lie money may be expended without
legislative authority. and, in the event
Of Congress failing to pass the Hawaii
an Territorial bill the coming session a
deadlock would certainly ensue In all
public business of the Islands If new
Legislature had not In the meantime
been elected. President Mckinley, you
may have read, ordered President Dole
10 call off the local election, giving
strong assurance in confidential note
that the Hawaiian bill would pass at
the ensuing session of Congress.
Before the election was stopped, as
In bnt
the great bulk OF the natives were go
ing to disfranchise themselves by ne
glectlng to register. Some of their
most influential leaders urged them in
vain to grasp the franchise so that
they could vote out of power those who
had overthrow the monarchy, not
with any idea that they could restore
the old form of government, but just
TO show their strength and have lit
| tie quiet revenge.
II have no doubt that, after United
States laws are given equal sway with
1.-THE United States flag over the group
the natives will generally avail them
selves of the privileges of American
citizenship, carrying. of course, their
due share in the government of their
own country.
THE people as q whole desire an end
to the present anomalous state of af-
fairs. It occasions great confusion. Our
jury system, for instance, is different.
We require simply the vote of three
quarters Of the jury to condemn a
man, where you require full agree
ment. Just now there are a dozen or
more cases in the Supreme Court as a
result Of the conflict of the two sets
Of laws.
THE country has taken a new start
since the United States took hold. Sew
eral heavy investments have been re-
corded, and enterprises involving the
Expenditure of $40, 00O, 900 have been set
on foot. A big railroad is in process of
construction through the sugar belt.
Sugar is our chief crop. Coffee as yet
has done little more than demonstrate
that it is the equal of the best quail
ties produced in any country. Omaha
last year gave the opportunity of
Widespread proof of this claim"

The TranscOntinental Ride OF j.

In view Of the fact that Honolulu is
at present more or less interested in
automobiles on account of the pro-
posed local horseless carriage COM
pany, the following comments on the
transcontinental ride Of J. +. Davis and
wife will prove Of interest:
Up to this time the transcontinental
automobile run has been a record of
accidents and disappointments. Every
day the telegraphed account tells OF
rods broken, bearings heated and hours
spent in looking for nuts which have
dropped of some of the machinery. A
great deal Is said about perilous riding
over muddy and siding roads, and the
automobilist strains our credulity by
telling about the climbing Of 80 or A
per cent grades. There are some yer,
mean roads between New York City
and Albany, no doubt, but that there
are 40 per cent grades We cannot be-
