the word street as used in the act of

~ known as the drainage act seems to

-questcd that the drainage notice served

forced, but that she be permitted 10 con-
meet said premises with sewer laid in
front instead Of with the alley sewer In
his letter gdr. GIennau made the point
that the drainage act did not apply to this
case as said act clearly referred only to
sewers which are situated In public
streets, thus raising the question of the
difference i'm meaning between Il street
and an alley
Or. William O.. Woodward The Health
Officer submitted to the Commissioners &

he said that the drainage act was drafted
chiefly by The late Judge Miller. The ad-
visibility of using the terms street. ave-
nue.. alley. court. place. etc, DR.. Wood
ward SAYS was suggested 90 him, but III
his judgment the term street was general
and would include the various other pub
lie highways referred TO. Continuing, Dr.
Wood ward says:
Some doubt has been thrown upon this
opinion by a recent proceeding in the Po-
lice Court. and the question Is again
raised by this communication. 1t is OF
considerable importance, as. If the act
does not enable The Commissioners to re-
Quire sewer connections TO be made where
sewer and water connections are avail
able only In alleys, etc, action should be
suspended not only In this ease. but more
particularly in certain cases In which the
commissioners have directed on the
recommendation Of the Health Depart
mcnt that such connections hc made for
certain alley houses. the cost thereof to
be assessed against the property.

Harvesting of Grain Begun in Some
Sections.
The week ending Monday, July 10th,
was somewhet warmer than the pre-
ceding one, but the average tempera-
ture continued below the normal. There
was a maximum Of SO at Yemassee on
the 5th, and minimum Of 55 at Green
vile on the 4th. Over the western and
northern counties, the highest were
much too cool for cotton, and there
was a general deficiency of sunshine.
General showers occurred on the 3rd,
and again on the 9th and 7th, light
over the greater portion of the State,
but heavy in the middle and lower Sa-
yannah valley, the southeastern, and
portions of the west central counties,

general cultivation, and where only

northern, and northwestern counties,
the weather conditions were favorable

Cotton is unusually small, lacks cUl-
tivation, and is somewhat lousy in
places while grassy fields are the rule.
1t has not all been chopped to stands.
In the eastern and southeastern sec
tions, its growth is a. a standstill, and
the plants are turning red or yellow,
showing an unhealthy condition, but
over the remainder Of the State it is
growing and improving slowly, and
has a healthy color. Sea-Island looks
better, but blight is still prevalent.
Corn has begun TO taSSel and IS be-
ing laid by in the southeastern sec
tions, where its condition is, however,
very poor owing to lack OF cultivation
hnd an excess of moisture. In other
sections, upland corn has improved,
and looks healthy, but bottoms are
still too wet to replart. Bud WORMS
and crows are damaging bottom land
corn in the extreme west.
Late wheat has rusted badly, while
early is being harvested with the av-
e:age result only fair, and not up to
expectation. Oats harvest is Wen au-
vanced. but the rains have damaged
some in the shock. Yields are variable
but average fairly good.
Tobacco is extremely poor, and dy-
ing from lack OF proper cultivation and
excessive moisture in Williamsburg
