DI6PENSARY PROFITS.
What the Moral Institution Earns
in Sumter County.

For the quarter just ended the dispeo saries
IN Sumter County earned for the county
$2, 80. The City of Sumter received
Si. 439 76. the town of Bishopvills received
$3.50 43 and the town of Msyesville S2I3al
The profits for the curreot quarter are ex.
pected to be mnch greater than for the past
quarter. At this rate the City of Sumter
will receive for the year yearly as much as
was paid for licenses under the OLD bar sys.
tenn, and Mayesville will receive more than
the license system paid, while Bisbopvills's
dispensary profits is clear gain, for there we're
no bars 10 that town. The large dispeusary
profits is indisputable proof that the dispen.
sary system does not materially reduce the
sale OF liquor.

sEABoARD GOES INTO ST. LOUIS.
Certain That it Has Acquired Control of the
M & O. Road.

The following from the Richmond
Dispatch of yesterday will be read
with interest by railroad men and by
people generally along the line of the
Seaboard system
although President Williams, of
the Seaboard Air Line, who returned
to Richmond from Baltimore yester-
day, denied the reports that his road
was negotiating to secure the Mobile
and Ohio, it is understood that the
two roads have entered into very close
traffic arrangements.
i 1T was understood, of course. that
the object of the Seaboard, in moving.
to acquire the Mobile and Ohio. assum.
ing it was trying to do so, was to OBJ
tain entrance into ST. Louis. 1t is
said that the arrangements which
now exist between the two roads vir-
tually give the Seaboard admission
INTO the great western metropolis.
so it would seem the Seaboard and
the Southern are to be competitors in
all territory. The Southern has re-
Gently gotten into st. Louis by the ac-
QUESTION of the Louisville, Evansville
and st. Louis from Louisville to ST.
Louis. The officials of the Southern
do not yet admit that the deal has
been consummated, but there is no
doubt of it in the railroad world.
THE Mobile and Ohio extends from
st. Louis to mobile Recently a branch
has been built to Montgomery, and it
is at the latter point that connection
is made with the Seaboard Air Line.

Washington, August THE Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditons says:
The week has been very hot in the
States of the Missouri and Upper Mis-
sissippi Valleys. There is a general lack
of rainfall over a part of the country
east of the Rocky Mountains. Excessive
ly heavy rains fell in portions Of the
Gulf States and over portions of the
Central Ohio, Upper Mississippi and Red
River of the North Valleys. Rain is yerv
generally needed in the Central Missis-
sippi and lower Missouri Valleys, and
in the Atlantic coast States from the
Carolinas northward.
Corn, more particularly the late
planted in the States of the Central Mis-
sissippi and Missouri Valleys, would be
greatly benefited by rain, but the early
planted in these sections is generally
beyond serious injury from drought. In
the Lake region and Ohio Valley and
generally in the Atlantic Coast districts
the crop has made good progress, but
is beginning to need rain in the middle
Atlantic States
cover the northern portion of the CEN
trail and western districts of the cotton
belt the condition has improved, while
an improvement is reported from the
Carolinas, but the general condition OF
the crop in Georgia, Florida and Louis
lana is less promising complaints of rust
shedding and premature opening being
numerous. In Texas the crop is from
two to three weeks late, its condition in
the northern portion being promising
while complaints of rank growth, she'd
ding and ravages of insects are received
from the southern part of the State.
