bank is being flooded with 1901 pen
MES, and letters requesting remittance
of $40 for each cent. Recently a
paper in the spirit of facetiousness
announced that the bank "would pay
$40 for 1901 pennies" and many
who failed to see the point began col

One individual mailed four pennies of
this years date with a request that

Ex-Representative and Ex-Judge
Springer, accompanied three Indian
chiefs to the White House, where
they went to present petition asking
the President to withhold his signature
to the proclamation opening the
Kiowa, Commanche and Apache
Indian reservation to settlement un-
til a delegation representing these
tribes can reach Washington and be
heard. They claim that the treaty
under which the 100000 acres in
volved are alleged to have been ceded
was never approved by majority of
the Indians and that to allow it to be
put into effect will be rank injustice.
Mr.. Springer says that Mr.. Mckinley
can, if SO disposed, defer opening the
land to settlement until Congress has
an opportunity to reconsider its action
providing therefor. But inasmuch as
Secretary Hitchcock has turned down
all protests against the opening, it is
not likely that he will be SO disposed.

liam Stokes, congressman from the
Seventh District. died at his home in
this city, this morning, after

but after completing his education and
graduating in medicine, removed to
Texas where he lived several years.
He returned to this State fifteen years

tion he held leading place, serving
as President Of the State Alliance for
several years. He was also editor Of
the Cotton Plant the Alliance organ.
He represented Orangeubrg County
in the Legislature for two terms, and

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Columbia, S. e., July 9-The

aged slightly warmer than usual over
western, northern and central por-.
lions, and slightly cooler over the
southeastern. The daily maximum
ranged between SO and 9S degrees,
willie miniimnm Of 66 was noted at
Greenyille on the lst. There was more
than the usual amount Of bright sun
shine
Early in the week, and again near
its close, there were scattered show
ers, heaviest in the central and south
eastern counties, with a maximum.
rainfall of 1.99 inches at st. George,
while over the western counties the
week was generally rainless. These
conditions OF high temperature, abun-.
ssdant sunshine, and absence Of rain,
made this the most favorable week of
the season for cultivation, neyerthe-
less, many fields remain grassy and it
will require at least another week of
dry wether to clean them. Rain is
needed generally for the crops, and to
soften the soil, especilly clayey land
that dried out hard, and breaks clod-
:sdy under cultivation. Rain is also
needed to prevent further injury to
crops that we're damaged IN ridding
them Of grass and weeds.
Cotton made slight and general
improvement, except sea-istand, that
improved decidedly The plants are
unusually small for the season, and
are growing slowly, especially on san
dy soils, where their condition is ex-.
cept;;onally poor. Blooms are noted
over the whole State, but cotton is
not blooming as profusely as it should
do at this season. It is reported that
the crop as whole cannot possibly
attain normal condition, however
Favorable the weather during the re-
nnainder Of the season may be.
The corn crop can now safely be
characterized as the poorest IN many
wears, and over considerable areas will
approximate a failure. Corn. with
some exceptions, has slender stalks, is
tasselling low, and not caring well.
