RErrEN, June 1.-Two have boon
having a great deal of rain recently,
which did much damage to growing
crops, especially on water courses
Conncross was as high as it was in
August, 1886. Bottoms were in rs good
condition as wo ever saw thom. Corn
was looking fine. Tho bottoms were
considerably washed and most Of thcm
have to be planted over. The High
bridge and Sittons bridge over Come
ross arc washed away. Tho l.. r. bridge
is all right.
We have never seen finer crop of
peaches than we have this year.
About 75 per cent of tho cotton in the
county is unusually late. There are a
great many who are not done thinning
yet. 1t is said by a great many that
planting late saves working, but the
worst part about is that it saves picking.
The Wesleyan Mcthodists will have a
camp meeting at Central this summer,
commencing Thursday night before the
first Sunday in August. AS there will
bc great many who will not be in a
position to camp, lunch counters will be
arranged f,r and meals will be served at
actual cost.
We arc sorry to know that Mrs j. B..
Sanders is very ill., Mrs. Wm. Harden is
also quite sick. We hope for their speedy
recovery.
Mr.. A. G. Waitcs, Of Union, formerly

The farmers of Kansas will begin
next week to harvest the largest wheat
crop in the history Of the State. Sccrc-
tary Cobnrn, of the State Board Of Ag-
ricultnrc, says: "'rhc crop this year
will be the heaviest ever known. In 1892
Kansas had },S00,O00 acres Of wheat and
raised 70,00O,OOO bushels, an average of
eighteen bushels to the acre. This year
the winter wheat acreage is 1855, SO, as
estimated by the growers, and the aver
age yield will be larger than that of
1892. If the yield per acre is the same
as in 1902 the aggregate yield will be 3d.
0OO,OOG bushels. The crop in general
was never in better condition.

South Carolina Interstate and West Indian
Exposition Company.

The excellent work Of the special com
mittcc on exposition subscriptions, which
visited New York to confer with the
Presidents of railroads entering Charles
ton, has resulted in adding $4,000 to the
stock Of the South Carolina Interstate
This subscription was made by the South
crn Railway, the Atlantic Coast Line and
the Plant System. In addition to this
81, 800 was secured from the Clyde Steam
ship Line. These subscriptions posi-
lively insure the success of the project
and tho Exposition Company will likely
be organized in a few days.
The committee now at the North also
anticipates other subscriptions in New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and other
cities and the outlook is bright indeed.
Wherever one turns the most cncour-
aging reports are heard and the whole
country seems to be willing and ready to
help South Carolina, now that she has
shown a disposition to help hurscH
With tho stock previously taken the
figures now stand at about $4,000 and
there is much more Sin sight"
The people of South Carolina generally
have been invited to Join in this move
mcnt and the shares have been placed at
50 each, in order that every citizen may
be personally interested, if he 50 desires.
Subscription books have been sent to
nearly every county in the State, and all
who desire to aid in the splendid project
can sign for such amounts as they sec fit,
in the presence and with the advice of
their fellow townsmcn.

Congressman Sibley puts forth a very
simple and foolish story TO tho effect
that he was offered second place on thu
Democratic National ticket at Washington
last winter, but declined 1t because no
preferred a seat in the House of Repre-
sentattves and desired TO cast his lot with
the Republican party. Who had authority
to offer Mr.. Sibley the Vice Presidential
nomination, we would like to know? Ger
tainly there was no body of men at WASH
ington last winter that had such power.
And besides that, Mr.. Sibley was doing his
best TO disgust Democrats with his polit-
ical action by endeavoring to secure the
reelection of MIR. Quay In this he sig-
nally failed, and when his failure was
made apparent to ali he commenced TO
wobble in the direction OF Mckinley and
imperialism. The fact is Congressman Joe
Sibley never had the confidence OF the
Democratic party and never will have It.
He had been supported on some occasions
because of local issues, but never because
anyone held he was a true and loyal DEM
ocrat. This fact will be made manifest at
the election in the Venango district this
year. Mr.. Sibley says he wants to be
elected and then will retire to private life.
He will have the opportunity TO retire
without the testimonial of an election.

SUTTON, ". Va. August !:


To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-As the time Is drawing near for
the Democratic convention to nominate q
Congr ssional candidate for the First dis
trict. Il becomes us to consider the aues-
ton as to who is the most available n17
TO lead our party in the great political
sruggle now pending.
After comforting with number OF prom
inent Democrats of this section. we are
lead to believe that Hon. r. f. Kidd. of
Gilmer. county. could. perhaps. poll moro
votes than any other man in the district.
Mr.. Kidd is thoroughly posted on all the
live issues of the day. splendid organ
izer. an eloquent debater and a most ex-
cellent mixer. We sincerely believe that
in Braxton and Gilmer counties he could
increase the Democratic vote at least 600.
While it is true that he Is now a member
OF the State Senate from his district. yet
his term of Senator would expire before
that of Congressman would begin. should
he be nominated and elected. In addi-
ton 10 the fact that ne possesses all the
qualification necessary for a successful
campaign and for membership in Com
greSs, this portion of the district has new
er been henored by having a candidate
for this position. We learn that Mr.. Kidd
IS not candidate. but would accept the
nomination and put his whole soul into
the campaign. We believe that the inter-
ests of the party demand his nomination.

ANXIOUS TO WITHDRAW.

Evidently, judging from their few
erish uncertainty and vacillation. the
diplomats at Washington are in a bad
quandary over the Chinese situation
verging, indeed, on panic. Mr.. McKin-
ley finds that the imperial business,
now that he is slap up against its most
dangerous and unattractive side. is not
such plain, easy sailing as ii seemed
when there was only poor old decrepit
Spain to contend against, or the I'M
trained and poorly armed Filipinos.
Now that there is imminent danger
Of our falling foul Of such powers as
Russia and Germany the warlike tones
ct the hitherto imperial government
ct Washington have been lowered ma
terially and we hear no more bold
pronunciations in connection with
China, such as have ben hurled at in
teryals across the Pacific whenever the
wretched Filipinos asked to negotiate
for peace For be it known the Gear
of all the Russjas and the War Lord
Of Germany are quite different propo-
sitions from the hunted Aguinaldo and
his half-clad army.
Hence the erstwhiIe bold imperial
lists at Washington received in silence
that had suspicion of meekness, if
not trepidation about it, the disgusting
news that the Gar, with Germany and
Japan, had declared war against China
and had politely notified England and
the United States to get out forth
with. to skeedaddle as It were. For.
verify the Gar and the War Lord are
the real things in the imperial line.
Seriously, the experience may do Mr..
Mckinley and his advisers, who are NOT
too old to profit by experience, world
of good in presenting to them thus for
chilly and practically what imperialism
and mdlitarism mean. and the serious
