south Carolina Cotton.

Columbia, Aug. 21.-On sandy lands,
cotton has taken on rust extensively,
is shedding freely. and is losing color,
but on clay lands a further improve
ment is indicated during the week, es-
pecially for early cotton, which is
heavily fruited. Young cotton is grow
ing too much to weed and is not fruit
ing satisfactorily. Early cotton is be-
ginning to open over practically the
whole state, although picking will not
be general for some time. The first
bale of the season was marketed at
Charleston on the 18th. First bales
were marketed, usually in August, in
presvious year, as follows: 1900, on 9Th;
1899, on 4th; 1898, on 9th; 1897; on I'd;
1896, on July 2Sth; 1895, on Aug. goth;
1894, on 18th. Sea-island cotton con-
tinues to improve and is fruiting, but
remains understood

SOUTH GEORGIA EXTENSION.

Qutman Advertiser: The work
on the South Georgia extension
is progressing as fast as man
can make it. 1t is impossible to say
when the road will reach Greenville
but one thing is certain, there will be
no train from Greenville to Quitman
this month, nor is there a probability
of there being one in three weeks. The
road is still five miles from Greenville
and there is some little filling to be
done even after the rails are laid before
a train can run over it on any kind of
schedule. Some time next months we
may take a trip to Greenville over the
South Georgia, exactly when 1t is i'm
possible to say.

MAMMOTH COTTON PLANT.

Quitman Advertiser: Daniel Allen,
a colored tenant on Mr.. E. ]. Ped

sisting of a pack of cards and sundry
dices of ivory of patriotic colors, and
the answer promtly came: "Oh, those

Before many days the river front Will
be lined with little rice schooners from
the plantations surrounding Savannah,
and also from nearby islands. The first
receipts of the season will be brought
to the city in a few days by the tug
Huntress, which left for the Satilla
river yesterday with two lighters to
bring back 5000 bushels of rough rice
for local mills. The receipts will be

Company's dock. foot of Barnard

The dredging of the Seaboard Air
Line slip, which was to have been start
ed some time ago, has been held up
by the health department until later
in the season. 1t was not considered
safe to proceed just now. The health
authorities probably had in mind the
complaints made owing to the dredging
operations last season, when persons
along the river front were subject to
unpleasant odors from the other side.
There was talk then of stopping the
work, but none cared to take the lead.
AS soon as it is considered safe the
work will be authorized. All prepara-
tions have been made to begin.
The tug Kate Cannon will leave to-
day for Port Royal towing dredge No.
I, which will be used by p. Sanford
Ross in dredging operations there. The
big rock crusher, which was taken over
some time ago from Savannah, is re-
ported to be doing very successful work
in the channel there. Dredge No. Z
will follow the crusher in removing
earth from the channel.
Tug w. c. Bailey, which halls from
Charleston, arrived yesterday from
Georgetown towing a steam hosting
apparatus for H. P. Smart. The ma
chine will be used by Mr.. Smart in
handling heavy timbers at his manu-
featuring plant above town.
The steamboat Katie is at Rourke &
Sons docks, where she is having new
houses built on her. She will also re-
ceive repairs before being turned out.
