weekly Crop su,.<.,n.

The mean temperature for the
week has been normal in the west
ern counties, slightly below along
the northeastern border, and
slightly above on the slopes of the
Arkansas Platte divide. In the
Arkansas valley there has been an
excess Of three degrees. The rain
fall has been unevenly distributed
and light as rule, but from local
tiles in the northwestern part of
the state moderately heavy show
ers are reported.
Crops as whole have made
satisfactory growth. but corn needs
higher temperatures. In the up
land districts of the northeastern
counties drought conditions pre-
vail; late seedlings and paintings
have failed to germinate; early
sown grain and garden truck is
practically at 4 standstill and the
ranges are turning brown. The
6rstc crop of alfalfa is being cut in
the Arkansas valley, and few
fields in the north central counties
and localities on the western slope.
A good yield is indicated. Early
potatoes are thrifty and planting
is nearing completion in the Gree
ley district. Sugar beets are good
stand and being thinned and culsi-
vated. A large acreage Of cants-
loupes has been planted in the Ar
kansas valley. The ranges are
generally in excellenr condition.

s. G. Dispensary Law.

The State Dispensary Law for the
governmental regulation Of liquor IN
South Carolina, went into effect IN
1898. At the end of eight years it is
possible to tabulate fairly the results
obtained. and to compare them with
what has been achieved in the Probi-
bition States. In Frank Aeslle's
Popular Monthly for January, Sena-
tor Tillmsn publishes a vigorous
article in defence of the law with
which his name is so closely associa-
ted. As his argument is based on
facts and figures, he shapes the
issue seuarely, and both the friends
and enemies of the law will read his
article with keen interest.

an almost herculean task. Messrs

The costumes and scenic equipment
are said to surpass all of their previous
efforts and the European novelties to
be presented in the olio are declared
succession of joyous surprises of an
unexcelled character. Especial atten-
ton has been paid to the vocal part OF
the programme, and the selection of the
various artists was made only after
very careful consideration. AS whole
it can be stated in all truthfulness tflat
the present effort is the very best that
united talent and energy are capable of

entertainment which was worth all the
money charged at the doors. I mean
the performance given by old Billy Ec-

The part supported by Billy Eccles-

ly old vagabond, who supported him
self by means of performing dog.
There was no need for him to act. All
that he had to do was to be natural.
