Presidential Possibilities.
GreenviIle News.

Is there any chance for Bryan. 1.
election! Chairman Jones saws
there is, and all the other Demo
cratic politicians say the same.
Quite natural they should they
couldn't 90 into the campaign with
any other declaration But
Chairman Hanna and al the other
Republican politicians say Me
kinley is certain to he reelected.
What do people who are not
politicians say: They can only
guess, and when they guess "out
loud" they guess according to
their political affiliations.
But what does The Greenville
News think 1t thinks that
Bryan will be elected if ho gets
enough electoral votes. Will he
DO that! Let's figure On it lit
tie. In 1896 Bryan had I7G
votes to Mckmley's 271. He
will get all he got in 1896. There
is some talk Of North Carolina and
Louisiana going Republican, but
it Is not at all probable. He will
need 4S votes more than he had
in 1896. OF those he is pretty
sure Of getting II from Kentucky.
Then if we could only get New
York SO he would be all right
but that is hardly to be hoped for,
though it is possible. New York
went Republican four years ago
by 2GS, 900. Maryland ought to
be Democratic, but it went Re-
publican in 1890 by over $1,000.
There is good chance for S in
California and ) IN Delaware.
The Democratic politicians are
going to fight for Indiana's Is and
for Illinois a. They hope
Uncle Adlai may pull them
through in his own State; but it
will take change of more than
II, 900 votes to do it.
Among the States that went
Democratic in 1892 were New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut,

Condition of Crops in South Caro-
lima.

The week ending s 4 IN, July
9th, was extremely hot, with the
average temperature between five
and SIX degrees higher than usual,
and for the first time this season
the maximum rose to 100 or
above, while the lowest minimum
was 81 degrees.
The rainfaII was largely local in
character, with many localities
that had no rain, willie others had
from trace to nearly two inches.
The not sun dried uplands rapid
ly, and nearly all correspondents
report red lands and clayey lands
baked and hard to cultivate, and
that showers would prove bene-
fetal on such lands, while bottom
lands generally are still wet, and
more rain ut this time would
cause further injury.
Farm work made rapid prog
ress and was in the main devoted
to cleaning staple crops of grass
and weeds, somewhat to the neg
Iect of the less important crops.
Much grass was killed, but
another full week of dry. hot
weather is required to thoroughly
rid the fields of weeds and to put
crops in good condition.
The general condition of corn is
improved, but it is scalding on
wet bottom lands and firing on
sandy lands to considerable ex-
tent. Old corn is being rapidly
laid by, while young corn is very
grassy. Some overfowed bottoms
being repIantcd to corn. The
maturing portion of the crop
needs rain.
Cotton fields that have been
cleaned of grass are doing well,
but many remain grassy on which
cotton is turning yellow. The
hot, dry weather was favorable to
cotton, and in. general this crop
Is decidedly better than it was last
week. There is some complaint
of rust and blight, the latter most
severe on sea island variety. The
plants are growing too much to
weeds IN places, and in many in
stances are not fruitlhg well. A
few localities report cotton very
promising.

West Virginia, California, Illi-

went Republican in 1896, and the
disconraging thing about it is,
they have been going Republican

The most that can be SAID is.

L. P.rhaps it will be better in tho
end for the Democratic party to
DO defeated at the poles next Nov
ember. The Republicans have
claimed credit for the prosperity
which the country has enjoyed for
the last two years, but a time of
depression is sure to come. The
hard times will hit the next ad.
ministratiOn in the neck and if the
Republicans are in power the
democracy will reap the benefit
four years hence and give them
one of the worst lickings they

THE NEW MYSTICISM.

Mr.. Ernest Rhys has an article in the
fTtnightly on THE New Mysticism y
in which he says:
The old mysticism, Catholic or Puri-
tan, was often shadowed by the old
ascetlclsm; and the last word of the
ola asceticism went to the decrying
and misconceiving of the beauty and
wonder of the Woman, a word whose
echo we have heard, indeed, in the cor
ridors of different philosophy as late
ly as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. The
new mysticism. as 1t turks in these
