Ed. Register-On the 9th inst, the
drouth was broken in this section by a
good rain which fastened the germi-
nation of small grain that had been
sowed during the fortnight previous to
that time. There is a dearth of fruit of
nearly ali kinds h~ereabouts, believed to
have been caused by the freezes late
last spring. Then the unseasOnably
hot and dry weather during the past
two months caused-it is thought
much of the fruit that was on the trees
to rot or to be SO unsound as to rot
soon after it fell or was gathered. How
eyer-as usual-s.It's an ill wind that
blows nobody good" for much Of the
corr that has been cribbed was I'M
usually firm on the cob and the grain
sound. Corn-gathering was begun in
this vicinity about ten days sooner
than usual, as the drouth rapidly ma
tured the corn.
There is great scarcity, in this
locality, of wild fruits, persimmons
and walnuts excepted.
While in some instances hereabouts,
fine corn was raised, some of the
farmers complain of their corn being
quite light and chaffy.

Consular reports of recent date de-

Germans here number 100000 out of a

financial and commercial Importance
the German element is strong out Of
proportion to its numbers, but it prefers
to live apart.
''They thus" says the consular report
"create for themselves a condition Of
isolation which has often given rise to
the suspicion that they were endeavor-
ing to establish political common
wealth for themselves. Nothing could
be more erroneous than this supposi-
tion. The great difficulty of mastering
the Portuguese tongue, in sound and
construction so utterly different from
their own, and of assimilating with peo-
pie of the Latin race, with whom they
have so little in common, is the cause
of their isolation, so often commented
upon. They have great difficulty in
increasing their ranks from the old
country, inasmuch as, for economic and
ment does not favor emigration, and
there are ut present very few Germans
desirous of emigrating." Southern Bra

1T Is A QUEER TOWN.

A South Carolina Community Which
Thrives Without Municipal Officials,
Newspapers, Lawyers or Saloons

Pelzer, a South Carolina town of 1000
population, is probably the queerest lit
tie city in the United States. 1t has
existed for twelve years and has never
had mayor. municipal government,
courts police or newspapers. The town
has four large cotton mills that employ
about 5000 operatives and consume
10000 bales of cotton each year. In
one of these great mills there are 60,O00
spindles at work In one room, all run
by electricity. In the working equip
ment all that is old is discarded; all that
is new and progressive eagerly wei

Managed by one corporation on thor
oughly altruistic principles, hundreds of
children who work in these mills earn
from . TO 10 cents day, and a certain
portion of the machinery is shut down
at stated intervals each working day
to allow them to attend school.
Obedience is the constitution ON
which the government of the town
rests. The word applies to only one
thlng--the will and wishes of Capt.
John Smythe. His edict rules the city
as absolutely as the famous by order
of the Car" rules the Russians, and the
moral persuasion he exercises over his
population can be compared only to the
