Washington, June 1S.-The
weather bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions SAYS:
The central valleys, lake re-
gions, Atlantic coast districts, the
Southern States experienced the
most favorable temperature con-
ditions of the season, but through-
ont the Rocky moDtaln and Praclfic
coast regions the week was cool,
with frosts, more or less damage
ing in the central and northern
Rocky mountain districts and
portions of California.
A general Improvement in the
condition of corn is reported from
the principal corn States. Cut
worms are, however, causing
damage in the Dakotas and in the
south Atlantic States the crop is
suffering seriously from lack of
cultivation due to excessive rains.
Winter wheat harvest is be-
coming more general in Kansas
and Missouri and has begun in
southern Illinois and Virginia and
will begin this week in Kentucky.
The crop has experienced very
favorable conditions during the
week in the central valleys, al:
though damage by fly continues IN
some section.
Further Improvement in the
condition of oats is very generally
reported, except in Arkansas and
Missouri, where very poor
crop is promised. Harvesting
continues in the southern States.
being very nearly finished In some
sections.
In the central and western por-
tiOns of the cotton belt cotton is
generally improved and we'll cul-
tivated, although in need of rain
in some sections. In the Caro-
linas, Georgia and Florida, heavy
aains have caused much damage
and the crop is greatly in need of
cultivation.

Charleston, June 2O.-In the

Judge Benet touched up the

urged that they should give more

the botch of bills given to them
this afternoon, stating that the
testimony Of the constanles and
police officers should he credited
here, as is the case at all other
places in the State, although he
said that the existauce of so many

Quoted was evidence enough that

not be needed by grand jury

of refusing to vote for Mr. Cri-p

the latter was Southern man. In

because he had studied law under
the direction of the Illinois candi-

Summary for the Past Week is
Rether Gloomy One.

The week ending Monday, June
18th, averaged only slightly cooler
than usual, with a maximum of
"a at Batesburg on the 11th, and
a minimum of 81 at Greenvil.e
and Spartanburg on the 10th.
There was decided and harmful
deficiency in sunshine.
General and heavy, rains pre-
vailed from the 18th to the close
of the week, with amounts vary
ing from two to over six inches,
and averaging $40 for the State,
which is nearly equal to the nor
NAL June precipitation. Bottoms
were flooded, hillsides wa ashed,
bridges carried away, and lands
generally have become boggy, and
were unfit for cultivation except
from two to three days early in
the week. All field crops have
been injured by this excessive
moisture, want of proper cult
vation and lack of sunshine, and
fields have become foul with grass
and weeds over the entire State.
All cotton has not been chopped
out, and many fields are lousy,
and foul with grass, so that there
are numerous reports of abandon
ing them, while 10 u few localities
some already have beee ploughed
under and planted in corn. The
plants continued small, and are
yellowing. In Marlboro county,
and in the sta island districts,
there Is some Improvement noted;
elsewhere, general deterioration.
On sandy lands the plants are dy-
ing to some extent from wetness.
Corn has made slow growth,
but on the uplands of the western
half of the State retains its healthy
color. Bottom land corn was
washed away, and will have to be
replanted, some for the fourth
time. In the eastern sections,
corn looks yellow, and is tasse'lng
low, and has received permanent
injury, while over the State 1t is
in need of work and sunshine.

Conspiracy Against McLaurin

The plan whereby certain un-
named politicians propose to rule
Senator NcLaurln out of the
Democratic primary might prove
successful in its immediate object;
but how ii may afterward effect
the welfare of the party in this
state is also question for con-
sideration.
Senator. McLaurin maintains
that he is Democrat, and he has
declared that the only way his
denomination can be prevented
is by ruling him ont of the Demo
cratic primary. Some OF the
politicians were 40 dnu' disposed
to look upon this proposition as
an idle boast: but these attempts
to hatch schemes to accomplish
the very end that the senator re-
terred to, seems to show that
there are some who do not look
ut the matter in that light.
Just how much faith is to he
put in the statement that Senator
Tillman is in favor of the plan re
ferred to, we arc unable to say.
If Senator TiIIman, however, is
really in favor Of the plan, the
circumstance is passing strange,
for this writer heard the senator
say publicly, at Galfney, few
weeks ago, that he would oppose
any effort that might he made
to prevent Senator McLaurin
from going before the voters IN
the primary.
Senator McLaurin has never
rerudlated all the tenets of the
Kansas City platfsrm. So far as
the record goes, he was faithful
To the entire declaration so long
as it was an issue before the coun-
try. Since the people have turned
it down, he has endeavored to
point out the objections, specify
ing tho assertion that .sthe consti-
tuition follows the flag" and tho
declaration for the free coinage of
silver. He holds that both of
these propositions are as dead as
"A last year bird nest, and he will
no doubt continue to hold SO un-
til they are re-affirmed by the
next national convention.
There are many people in South
Carolina who believe with Sena
tor McLaurln along this line, and
it as a. prerequisite to re-affirm
their allegiance to the defunct
Kansas City platform, most of
them would turn away fron the
polls in disgust.
The idea ofrsquiring any candi
date to re-alfirm an old platform
is absurbe. 1t is sufficient that
he shall pledge himself to sup
port the next platform, and that
is all that Senator McLaurin is
likely to promise.
Maybe there are politicians, who
have a really serious purpose to
carry out the scheme outlined in
the article from The State; but
we hope they will not be success,
full. The trouble they will en-
counter, as the result of it, will
be enough. The Democratic voters
of South Carolina feel that they
are fully equal to the task of deal
ing with the case of Senator Nc
Laurln, and they are not asking
any help in the matter at the
hands of the politicians. York
