Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, July 23.-The averge
temperature for the week ending S a.
m. Monday, July 22d, was 50 degrees,
or practically normal, with q mini
mum of 66 at Greenville. The average
sunshine was below normal, and more
sunshine would have been beneficial in
the north border counties. High winds
broke down much corn in a few coun-
ties on the 14th.
The rainfall ranged from less than
half an inch to over five inches, the
former in the central portions of the
State, and central Savannah valley.
The larger amount fell in Marlboro
and Newberry counties, while over the
eastern, northeastern, northern, and
extreme western counties the rainfall
was generally excessive, and damaging
to crops by flooding bottoms and low
lands, and by preventing much needed
cultivation a few points had INSULT
cient rainfall, and there crops are
suffering and did not improve, but
over the larger portion of the State the
weather was favorable on growing
crops. causing general and in places
marked improvement in their condi-
tion.
Cotton improved throughout the
State, and, while still very small, IS
growing fast and in most places is
fruiting satisfactorily. In few sec
tions it is heavily fruited, while some
young cotton has not begun to bloom.
The outlook for this crop is decidedly
better than heretofore, although some
fields remain grassy, and all Of it
needs cultivation, but over the eastern,
northeastern, and portions of the
northern counties the ground was too
wet for cultivation. Sea-island con-
tinues to blight in spots.
Early corn is a failure in many
places, and, although somewhat i'm
proved, is very poor generally. 1t is
maturing rapidly in the eastern por-
tions of the State. Young corn, espe-
cially that planted on stubble lands,
looks quite promising. On river bot
toms, where usually the finest corn is
raised, the crop will amount to practi-
cally nothing.
Tobacco shared in the general i'm
provement, and in places has started
new growth that will delay cutting,
but cutting and curing made fair prog
ress, and some has been marketed.
Sweet potatoes look promising, some
slips being set out, while in Charleston
County some fields are ready to dig
and market. Rice is excellent. but
caterpillars are destroying upland rice
in Hampton County. Peas came up to
good stands; some sections report more
than the usual acreage sown. others
less. Sugar cane and pastures are
good. Melons are generally poor.
There is widespread complaint of
neaches and grapes rottting.

lYNCHING AVOIDED.

Denmark, July 2O.-Wash Jamison,
who attempted rape on Mrs. George
Hutto, in Orangeburg County, and
only failed in his purpose by the ar
rival of field hands, who, hearing
the nergo Jamison ran off and escaped,
was traced and caught at Woodbine,
Ca. and brought to Denmark on the
Seaboard train this afternoon. While
on the train Jamison grabbed a pistol
from one of his guards, and attempted
to kill 4. D. Pearson and j. J. Fogle,
who had him in charge. The conduc-
tor of the train had to come to their
assistance, beating the negro over the
head with a club before he could be
overpowered and the pistol taken from
him.
On arrival here Jamison was placed
in buggy and in charge Of four men
was started through the country for
the scene of his crime, but after going
several miles they returned to Den
mark and placed him in the hands of
Magistrate Ray, who Immediately
swore in citizens to protect the negro
against any lynching party that might
come from Orangeburg County.
There was never any danger OF
lynching, because very few knew of
the crime or his subsequent arrest.
Denmark citizens are indignant the
report going to the Governor of any
threatened lynching in our town:
Sheriff Hunter, with his deputies, and
also the Bamberg Guards arrived on
the $50 train from the county seat.
Jumping off the train, they double
quicked to the town guard house, to
find all quiet and guarded by Denmark
citizens. After thirty minutes rest
the command was given to fall in and
with the negro in the lead the line Of
march was taken from Denmark to
Bamberg Jail.
It is now midnight and no signs Of
any lynching party, the town being

The attitude of the Mckinley gov
ernment as to Sampson and Schley is
one of free and unmixed corruption and
injustice. The public fully under
stands the really rascally conduct of

ton of every upright American citi-
zen. The new medal just made by or

The State Board of control has very
properly withheld the dispensary
profits of Charleston and will employ
additional constables to enforce the
law in that city. We have never been
a friend of the dispensary law and do
not now approve of it as system, for
many satisfactory reasons, but we do
believe in respecting and enforcing a
law so long as it is On the statute
books and this the people of Charles
ton have never pretended to do. The
saloons have been run as openly for the
past few years as they ever were before
the enactment of the dispensary law
and we do not believe, Judging from
the view point of an occasional visitor
to the city, that an earnest effort has
ever been made by either the State
constables or the municipal authori-
ties to enforce the dispensary law in
the city of Charleston. The blind
tigers, so-called, have been too open
in the conduct of their business in the
past to admit of the belief that they
feared any interference and we arrived
at the conclusion, from observation,
that whatever raiding was done was
all an understood and prearranged mat

Col. Harvey Wilson, who is candi-
date for Secretary of State at the next
election, has some friends" not in
the Seventh District, who have been
remarkably eager for him to become a
congressional candidate. Will they be
>as jealous in his suppqgt in the next
y election when he needs votes to be
elected Secretary of State? We think
1nst, for there is such thing as kill
ing a candidate by putting him up for

Charleston will eventually have to
enforce the dispensary law and the
city authorities may as well recognize
this at once. If the proper efforts
were made by the city authorities, and
the police acting under their orders,
the open violation of the law could
be suppressed and the wide-open liquor
saloon driven out of business. Of
course liquor would continue to be sold
surrepti tiously but this would not be a
drop in the bucket to what is now sold
openly and without pretense of con-
cealment.

SHmter
The congressional race is still in a
very nebulous condition and it is still
difficult to name the candidates, to
say nothing of picking the winner.
In Sumter County, many have been
spoken of as candidates. but only one
has formally and positively announced
that he is in the race.
Orangeburg County furnishes two
bona fde candidates, Senator Thomas
F. Brantley and DR.. Sturkie, while
Others are mentioned as possibilities.
Lexington county may have several
candidates, but none has put a card
in the Lexington papers thus far.
Colleton County will probably have
one candidate. Mr.. Howell, but at last
accounts he had not fully decided to
enter the race.
After the State Executive Commit
tee meets on Thursday, the 25th inst,
the candidates may be expected to de-
clare themselves, and out OF the many
mentioned as possibilities it is but
reasonable to suppose tnat few Will be
left to toe the mark.
Judge Buchanan, who has been
nominal resident of Sumter for few
years by reason of his election to the
judgeship of the Third Circuit, is said
to be quite an active candidate, and
his eagerness to be elected to Congress
is believed by many to be due not SO
much to an ambition to sit in the hall
of Congress as to avoid the inevitable
that he sees will follow the election OF
judges by the Legislature in Decem-
Der. He has, it is true, congressional
ambition and has had for some few
years, but his ambition did not go so
far as to hazard contest with the
late DR.. Stokes and he held on to the
Office he had. Now that this job is
about out and there is to be general
scramble for the vacant seat in Con-
gress, his ambition has taken fire and
he enters the arena full-armed with
hope for the fray. 1t is hard to esti-
mate Judge Buchanan's strength, for
in no particular county is he said to
have a strong following. In Sumter
County he will be showed under by
any other good man, identified
with the district, who may run. 1t
will not require a Sumter County man
TO defeat him in Sumter County, IN
less we are greatly deceived by the re-
ports received, although we have heard
that he is TO receive a certain meas
ure of support from those who give as
reason for supporting him the desire
TO get rid of him as judge. This is
the status of the only avowed candi-
date who claims Sumter as his resi-
dence.
If Mr.. Altamont Moses and Mr.. E.
D. Smith both enter the race the vote
of the county will be badly cut up, and
with the candidates from the other
counties to divide the vote in the bal
ance of the district in almost the same
manner, the race at present does not
seem to hold out any particular en-
couragement to any particular candi-
date. Until the candidates are thinned
down to a strand it is anybody's race.

1t is stated that some Of the cand1-
dates will oppose the entry of DR.. L.
j. Sturkie in the Congressional race
in this district on the ground that he
is not resident of the district and,
therefore, not eligible. The facts are
that DR.. Sturkie is citizen of
Or-angeburg county which he former
ly represented in the Legislature, but
is now holding an official position at
the penitentiary in Columbia. The OBJ
lection to DR.. Sturkie seems to be far
fetched, puerile and not worthy OF con-
sideration except that it shows that a
candidate or candidates fear the oppo-
sition of DR.. Sturkie. If we are not
mistaken in our recollection there are
cases on record were men have been
elected to congress to represent dis
tricts in which they had never resided
and that they were seated and served
out their terms. but this precedent
is not needed to establish the eligibil-
ity of Dr.. Sturkie, for there can be no
reasonable question of that. We do
not know DR.. Sturkie and probably
would not vote for him if we did, but
we are opposed to any attempt to
arouse prejudice against any candidate
on such Aimsy grounds. This is going
to be a great race for congress, and
the more candidates the merrier it will
be.
