Senator McLaurin defended his
vote on the Spanish treaty prin =
cipally on the ground of the adj
vantage the possession of the
Philippines would give the United
States in China In a speech in
the senate, and in his letter to the
Spartanhurg manufacturers, he
forecasted the developments of the
present moment almost as clearly
as they can be described in the
light of all existing Information.
Had it not been for his deciding
vote on the Spanish treaty, the
United States would have had no
army in the Philippines when the
Chinese war broke out, and neither
would we now have a naval force
IN the Chinese waters or a land
force in Chinese territory capable
of assisting American missionaries
or other American citizens. For
their position in the circumstances,
the people of the United States
have to thank the broad minded
craftsmanship of South Carolina
senator, who was courageous
enough to do his duty as he saw
it, regardless of the dubious fac
tionaI victory that might have
been achieved had he done other
wise. Up to this time events
have fully confirmed the patriotic
wisdom of Senator McLauren' S
treaty vote, and by the end of an
other year we predict that such
of his enemies as have not relapsed
into silenc, will be trying to trump
up other grounds of opposition. -

Col Hoyt and Mr. Gary made
the best impre ssion of the candi-

here last week. Heretofore Mr.
Gary has not been considered in
this county as a strong candidate.
1t has been a question of Hoyt or

changed things with many who at
tended the meeting, and Nc
Sweeney stock went down and
Gary stock advanced proportion
ateIy. We have not heard of a
single vote changing from Hoyt
to either Of the other candidates.
but at least twenty five changed
from MCSweeney to Gary. If
the talk on the streets since the
the meetings counts for anything
Gary stands a fair chance of beat
ing McSweeney in Sumter county.
Col Hoyt is by long odds the fav>
orite in this city, and from what
we heard yesterday from men
from all sections of the county his
strength IS fully as great in the
county as it is in the town. Many
men predict that he will receive
more votes in this county than all
the other candidates combined,
and while we regard this as an
over estimate we haye no doubt
he will lead by some hundred
votes. Sumter Watchman and

81 so PER ANNUM
Condition of The New Cotton
Crop.

The following is the weekly
bulletin of the condition of the
weather and crops in this State
During the week ending s m,
July 2, the temperature averaged
normal and ranged between a
maximum of 81 and minimum
of &c degrees. 1t was extremely
favorable on growing crops.
Heavy rains prevailed during
the first part of the week, and Or
June 29tb. In the southeastern,
northeastern and northwestern
counties the amounts for the week
ranged from 4 to inches, while
widely scattered localities had less
than an inch. The average for
the State was 2.60 inches. This
following the previous weeks
rainfall, rendered ground too wet
for cultivation generally, and, in
connection with the high tempsra-
ture, caused grass and weeds to
grow very fast, so that there is;
general complaint of foul crops.
Locally, bottom lands were over
flowed and crops destroyed and
lands were badly washed and
quilted. The outlook for staple,
crops, over large portion of the,
State, is reported very poor, but
in the Congaree and lower
Wateree valleys, over a large por--
tion of the Pee Dee section, and
in portions of Lexington, Edge
field, Saluda and Greenwood
counties crops are unimpairsd and
promising. Dry weather and
sunshine are needed for cultivs-
tion and to clean fields. Locally
high winds damaged corn and
fruit trees.
Upland corn is generally i'm
good condition, but some is turn
ing yellow and firing, while prac--
tically the whole crop lacks
proper cultivation. Much corn
was destroyed on bottom lands by
overfiows. Late corn on stubble
lands is doing we'll,
The general condition of cotton
is poor, on account of too much
moisture, lack of cultivation, and
the prevalence of lice. Some
fields have been abandoned, or
