The Privilege Tax.

The privilege tax receipts this yesr
show that more guano was washed
into the sea by the May freshet than IN
any previous year since the State has
been exacting this royalty for the in
spection of fertilizers. This tax is 70
csnts ton, a7oRedly to pay fer the
chemical examination of the Fertilizers

amount received from this source since
the first Of the year is ST., ,52S; 43,

year and SIS, ,497 for 1898. The re-
oeipts for the remainder, Of the year

NO FAB SER'S DREAM.
Mr. Bauer Tells How the Rain Affected
Crops List Week.

The rains last week were heavy.
There is no discounting that fact.
There were many evidences. But here
comes Mr.. Bauer, the local weather
bureau director, who piles on the agony
with dreadful statistics. Mr.. Bauer
says IL his weekly report:
Excessive rains over the entire State
characterized the beginning Of the
week, and general rains prevsiled at it's
close. The amounts for the week
ranged from nearly TWO to nearly ten
inches, the former in the southwestern
counties and the latter in Spartanburs
AID York counties, with IN average
rainfall Of 4.69 inches for the State.
Bottoms we're flooded and the crops
that were on them were destroyed;
hills;des snd terrsced lards were badly
damaged, eroded aud gu,lied, and the
yculg cotton and corn wasGed up. The
Bread ana Gc;at Pee De Rivers IN
places rose b:gaer than for maay years
But aside FROM the physical Injury to
larGs sid crops By the excessive rains,
the moisture was needed, aad all crops
we're greatly benefited. Hail occurred
st maay points, but only in portions
Of ADbeviIle, Ejge6eld, Saluda, Sum-
ter and WllliamDrrg counties did it
seriously damage crops. The ground
was too wet to ploW during the greater
part Of the week, and felcs are becom-
ing grassy.
Cotton is nov quite generally up to
good stands, AID chopping cut is being
prosecuted vie re7er this work has NOT
been finished, but cultivation is needed.
The rains caused marked improve
ment where the stands we're not de-
ssroyed, and poor stands are now con-
fined TO early cotton that was not rs
planted. In Oconee stands are dying.
Sea islscd cotton looks better, but
blight has appeared oo it.
Corn on uplan6s las healthy color,
is growing, and stands are fairly good,
but practically sll bottom land corn
vas destroyed and must be replsnted.
Bud worms are doing damsge in PLACES.
Tobacco LOOKS well in few localities
only, and its general condition is poor.
More is being set out, SIS the ground is
now in good condition for growth.
TIE acreage Of June rice will be re-
duced, owing to the high water cover
ing lands that would have been soEn to
rice; otherwise the crop has improved.
Wheat continues very promising. ex-
cept that rust has developed in New
berry, Ooonee and Union counties;
some wheat will soon be ripe enough 10
harvest. Oats were benefited by the
rains, but much bottom land oats was
totally destroyed, and some of rank
growth was lodged. Oats are fast ripen-
ing, and some have already been har-
vested. Spring sovn oats are poor.
Minor crops, truck, pastures, fruits,
gardens and berries were all greatly
benefited By the rains, AID although
late lock promising, except melons,
which are poor. Apples and peaches
are dropping, and prospective yields
are thereby greatly reduced. All crops
nov need sunshine aod cultivation.

summer canvass.
Senator McLsurin, as Indicated in an
interview published in The State, pro-
tests against canvass Of the State in
August. he has written to Col. Willie
Jones, chairmin, asking that the State
executive committee arrange for the
campaign to be held at some other
tims.
In his letter to Co.. Jones, Mr.. Nc.
Laurin states that he wants the issue
between himself and Tillman. He
says:
Dear Col. Jones: I note in today's
paper that you speak Of the campaign
between myself and Senator Tillman
beginning about August 1st. This is
entirely out Of the question SO far as ]
am concerned. I made it point to date
the resignation September 18th, be-
cause I knew that it was absolutely
impossible for me to canvass the State
until the weather becsme cooler. I re
signed in good faith to submit the
question to the voters Of South Caro-
lima. I want fair treatment snd an
opportunity to present my case to the
people. Senator Tillman intruded him
self into this fight. l am ready to fight
TO q finish, but want no draw" or
''fouling." My suggestion would be, as
congress does not meet until December
4th, that the committee request Gov
McSWeeney to Withhold action until
the result Of the primary is announced,
and then appoint the man receiving
the highest number Of votes. Let the
legislature elect my successor as it is
only for short time, or let yeu gentle
men who desire to contest srrange your
canvass entirely apart from mine and
Tillmsn's.
I would also suggest that you per-
nit he and I to arrange the schedule
for our meetings. It is my desire to
conduct clean, decent canvass, free
from personalities, if permitted to do
50; but I am ready to take what comes.
| wish it distinctly understood, how.
ever, that I cannot entertain the idea
of can7assing in August, and that one
man at time is all | care to fight. I
had enough Of the four to one business
in 1897 l appeal to you as man and
chairman of the party for fair play.
TIE reason I suggest Withholding &C.
tioo on our resignation until after the
primary is that there are many post
cthces snd other matters Of interas. to
the State, among which l might men
tion tie Charleston exposition, which
demand the attention of senator. To
take away frcmthe State this protection
for even six weeks mag cause trouble. |
do not care personally, however, what
is done about this, but think it my duty
10 mention it.
Yours re speotfully,

COL JONES ANSWER,

Col. W,lie Jones, chairman Of the
State Democratic Executive committee,
yesterday addressed the following to
Senator McLaurin in reply to the latter's
protest against q canvass Of the State in
the month Of August:
Dear.Sir: Upon my return homo We'd
nesday from ChicksmsGga I read your
open letter addressed 20 me in The
Evening Record, aua !; will now ansEer
it. l simply stated thai l thought that
the canvass would commence in Au-
gust next because at that time the crops
are laid by and the farmers ere at lei
sure, and the merchants have little to
do, and thought that it was the best
time for the people to hear public speak
ing. It has alRay. been customary since
We have had the primaries to have the
canvass during August. This is mat
ter entirely for the committee to decide.
Ireally hS7e no authority to do anything
in this matter except to csll the commit.
tee together. This I will do in shor!
time.
You can rest assured Of one thing,
and that is that the State Democratic
Executive committee will be absolutely
fair in all that it has to do. l hs7e
never been associated in ny life with
a body of men who desired to act more
fairly, and did act fairer, than this
committee has always done. It is com
posed Of some of the best men Of oul
State, and they will give everybody ab.
solute Justice.
