COLUMBIA: >. O., Sept. \, 1900.
The week ending 9 .. M, September
3D., was much cooler than the two pre-.
ceding weeks, but continued hotter
than usual. There was maximum OF
lOl, on two dates, and minimum Of
80 degrees on September lst.
The rainfall was general over the
State, but was light over the extreme
northwestern portion. Many points
had from one to nearly four inches OF
rain, thoroughly relieving the drought,
while generally the rainfall amounted
to somewhat less than an inch, which
although beneficial was insufficient.
The general condition OF crops IL
greatly improved, although the rains
came too late to help corn, which has
not improved at all, and stubhle corn
will be failure. Fodder pulling, and
cutting corn are finished over the east
ern, and nearing completion over the
western counties.
EARLY cotton shows no Improvement,
and will do no more than mature the
crop OF bolls it now bears, but late cot
ton Is again growing, blooming, and
fruiting. Shedding has ceased, and
there Is less premature opening. Sea
Island cotton has attained but half it's
usual size, and is blooming to the top
Picking cotton is general and is being
pushed since the cooler weather set in !;
some fields have been picked over
once. There is complaint OF scarcity

The rice harvest Ia general, and
with few exceptions, the yields are
very satisfactory. Upland rice will be

These figures, he remarks, show
more than could be expressed In
columns Of words. They indicate that
the Southern people are In the field
OF manufactures to stay, and with the
advantage on their side, 1t is only u
matter OF time when most OF the raw
cotton produced In the South will be
converted In manufactured form ada
cent to the cotton field. In time evory
item OF useless expense between the
producer and consumer will be elimi
n9ted and no source capable OF pro-
ducing profit omitted. One large mill
sumed nearly 6,000, 900 pounds OF raw
cotton, which 1t purchased In the seed +,
ginning and using the staple direct
from tho gin, without ballug. This lie
possible In great many parts OF the
South, and while 1t ia not resorted TO,
is one OF the Items showing advantages
that could be gained under stress OF
competition with other sections and
countries. The item OF local freight
rates, which is said to have initiated
against Southern factories In favor OF
those OF the East, is one that may be
adjusted when necessity imperatively
demands.
One OF the most interesting features

the worlds consumption OF American
cotton for the past two seasons, which
