BADLY DAMAGED.
The Efsct of the Heat on Growing
Crops.

The following is the weekly bulletin
Of the condition of the weather and
crops of the Statei issued Wednesday By
Section Director Bauer, of the crop and
climate service Of the United States
weather bureau.
The mean temperature for the State
was 81 degrees for the week ending s a.
m. August Goth, and the normal for the
same period is IS degrees The highes
maximum ranged from 100 to l04 every
day; the lowest minimum was 81 at
Spartanburg on the 13.h.
The drought was relieved in spots.
Nearly every county reported some
rain, but over by far the greater por-
ton of the State the rainfall was in.
sufficient and many points had no rain.
Where the rain was followed by bright
sunshine crops were scalded and in
jured instead Of benefited. There was
more cloudiness and lighter winds gen
orally than during the previous week,
except that heavy winds accompanied
some of the thunder storms. Damaging
hail fell In Lancaster and Pickens
counties.
The weather was too hot and geDer.
ally tco dry for all growing vegetation,
and crop reports indicate spread
deterioration, amounting in the case Of
young corn to complete raiDasion Of
such that has but recently tasselled.
Earlier planting, not matured, is not
filing we'll, and the blades and stalks
are dead. The corn crop will be short.
Fodder was pulled from early corn aud
sa7ed in GDe condition.
The weather conditions were also uu.
favorable to cotton, causing continued
shedding Of leaves, forms and even
young bolls, and checked eli. growth.
Rust has decreased. Premature open
i1g is general and picking has begun in
all sections Sea island eontidues to
blight, is d9arfed and is fruiting poor
ly. In places late planted cotton con-
tinues to look well, but the prospects
for the middle and top crops are poor.
River rice is exceptionally promising,
except at few points, and harvest,
which has begun, will soon De actively
prosecuted. Upland rice has failed
materially.
Peas Of young growth were literally
killed, while earlier paintings have
been severely injured. Some pea-Vines
have been cut for hay. S#aet potatoes
and cane, pastures and gardens, in
short, all minor crops, have shared in
the general deterioration caused by the
unprecedented period of prolonged ex-
cessive heat and drought in places.

a Young Mans Campaign.

A6lai Z. Stephenson, the Demo
cratic nominee for vice president, has
this to say to the young men OF the
country, and it is to be hoped they Will
ponder we'll his words: Carr; to the
young men the message :hat this IS
their campaign. 1t is their campaign
in a sense that no other pTesloeIn?ual
campaign in the history Of our politics
has been. The doors Of opportunity
are closing in the face Of youth: It. It is is
the mission of Democracy to open them :
ard to place before the young men OF
ambition, intelligence and integrity the
hopes that #ere theirs before the gov
erpmeptal fa7oritism and specla! pri7i-
lege politics Of our opponents became
So controlling in our national life. Mr..
Bryan is in a peculiar sense the young
mems candidate and the young mems
hope, and our party is the logical one
for young men to support.

Turtle Showed Fight,

Johu Fisher, of Roney, W. Va,
had an exciting experience with large
turtle in the south branch Of tie Poto-
mac a few days ago. He caught the
turtle, which weighed about 10 pounds,
Oh his line, but after landing it in his
boat it showed fight and chased him
from enc end Of the boat to the other.
His only weapon of defense was a
small paddle, which the turtle would
DOW and then grab between its jaws
Fisher at length succeeded in beatirg
il over into the river.

Heat DAMAGED Crops

y dispatch from Chattanooga, Tenn,
says the protracted hot geather, with
almost complete absence of rain and
temperature averaging from 81 degrees
is proving disastrous to the interests Of
farmers. Reliable reports were brought
in to the effect that the late corn was
completely killed in some districts,
while hundreds Of acres Of strawberry
plants were dried up and were CON-
plete loss. Ii is estimated that the
damage to date is very great.

Corn Crnp Ruinet.

Kansas has had terrible drop in
her hopes Of magnificent corn crop.
A few weeks ago something like $780,
900, 600 bushels was counted on. The
subsequent and still continued .drouth
has made it probable that the crop
will not exceed 100000 After all
there IS no state where crops are as GER
tain as they are in Georgia.

Good Advice.

Instead Of wringing your hands over
the unsaved masses, suppose you turn
your energies to the salvation Of the
sinner nearest to you? You will find
that a task which will call for ali your
strength, ycur energy, your power with
Cod.

! Will be time enough to discuss the re
Geemab;li;y of the greenbacks, when
,be sreentack itself is saved from the
syrihi'a&on which row threatens it.
The Republican party is now commit
led 70 currency system which neces-
states perpetual debt, while the Pop
u.ist finds himself in agreement with
the Democrats who believe in paying
off the, rational debt as rapidly as pos
sible.
If belief in an income tax justified
a Populist in acting with the Demo
cratic party in 1896, what excuse can
he ind for aiding the Republican party
now when even the exigencies Of war
have net been sufficient to bring that
party to the support Of the income tax
principles?
'Popalists believe in arbitration
now as much as they did in 1896 and
are as much opposed to government
By injunction and blacklist as they
were then, and upon these subjects
they have as much reason for co opera
ton with the Democratic party today
as they had four years ago.
WHEN DEMOCRATS AND PoPCLISTS
AGREE.
Democrats snd Populists alike favor
the principle Of direct legislation. If
any differences exist as to the extent
to which the principle should be ap-
piled, these differences can be recon
cilsd by experiment.
Democrats and Populis,s agree
that Chinese aud other Oriental labor
should be excluded from the United
States.
Democrats and Populists desire to
SO enlarge the scope Of the inter state
commerce act as 10 enable the coumis-
sion TO protect beth persons aud places
from discrimination and the public at
large from excessive railroad rates.
The Polu!ists approve the demand
set forth in the D. D>mocrstic platform
for labor bureau, with cabinet Off
Ger at its head. Such an official would
keep the administration in close touch
with The wage earning portion Of the
population and 90 fsr toward securing
such remedial legislation as the toilers
need.
10 1896 the Populists united with
the Democrats in opposing the trusts,
although the question at that time ap-
reareG like cloud scarcely larger than
a mans hand. Today that cloud we'll
nigh ovsrspreads the industrial sky.
The farmer does not participate IN the
profits of any trust, but he sorely feels
the bur6eo e them all He is depend
eDt upon the seasons for his income.
When lie plants his crop he knows not
whether it will be blessed with rain or
blighted with drought; he knows not
whether wird will blow it down, or hail
destroy it, or insects devour it and the
price Of his crop is as uncertain as the
quantity If a private monopoly can
suspend production and ix the price Of
raw material as we'll as the price of the
finished product, the farmer, power
less to protect himself when be sells, is
piupdered when he purchases. Can
any farmer hesitate to throw the irfu
ence Of his ballot upon the side of those
who desire TO protect the public at
large from mo1opoies?

BURNS CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS.


''0ar opponents have tried to make
It appear that We are inconsistent when
We desire a general rise in prices and
yet oppose an arbitrary Use n plotect-
ed manufactures or trust-nade goods.
There is no conflict whatever between
these two propositions. If general
rise in prices occurs because Of per.
maneot increase in the volume Of
money, al things adjust themselves to
the new level, and if the volume Of
money then increases in proportion to
the demand for money, the price level
remains the same and business can be
done with fairness to all. If, however,
the rise is arbitrary and only affects a
part Of the products Of labor, those
whose products do not participate in
the rise suffer because the purchasing
power Of their income is decreased. If
a bad monetary system drags down the
price Of the farmers product while
nonopolies raise the price Of what be
buys, he burns the candle at both ends
and must expect to suffer in compari-
son with those who belong to the class
es more favored by legislation.
1t IS sometimes urged by partisan
P0pulists that four years more Of Re-
publican misIu!e would so sggravate
economic conditions as to make re.
forms easier. No ore can afford to aid
in making matters verse il the hope
Of being abe to make them better al
terwar&s, for in SO doing he assumes
responsibilities which he may not be
able 70 remedy. No Populist, however
SsrgQine, believes it possible to elect
president at this time, but the Pop
uhst party may be able to determine
whether Democrat or Republican
will be elected. Mr.. Chairman, the
Populist convention, which your com
mittce represents, thought it better to
share with the Democrats in the honor

NEEDS NO ARGUMENT.

The fact that the trusts support the
Republican party ought to be sufficient
proof that they expect protection from
it. The Republican cannot De relied
upon to sx,inguish the trusts so long
as it draws his campaign contributions
from their ovei aoRing vaults,
The prosperity argument which the
Republicans bring forward to answer
al complaints against the admiuistra-
,ion will not deceive the farmer. He
knows that two factors come into his
income-irst, the size of his crop, and,
second, the price which he receives for
the same. He does rot return thanks
to the party in power for favorable
weather and bountifpl harvest, and
he knows that the Republican party has
no policy which insures permanent
Increase in agricultural prices. Since
be sells his surplus in a foreign market
ne is rot beneficiary of the tariff, and
since he produces merchandise and not
money, he does rot prc6t by the sp-
probation Of the dollar. He knows
that the much vaunte1 prosperity, of
which he has never had his share, is on
the Hane in spite Of the unusual and
unnatural stimulation which it has re-
ceiyed during the last three years. He
knows that each month of 1900 shows
larger number Of failures than the
corresponding month of 1899, and that
there is also marked tendency toward
decrease in the output Of the fscto-
ries. He knows also that discoveries
Of gold, famines abroad and war on
three continents have not been able to
raise the price Of farm products as rap
IDLY as trusts and combinations have
