was dismissed at o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. The boys saw one of the
Rock Island Fuel company wagons,
laden with wood and pulling behind it
still another one also laden. following
the direction of West Third street.
Some of them clambered on the vehi-
cles, despite the protests of the dri-
YER. Among them was little Raymond
Wahlig. the 7-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Wahlig, of 2O23 West
Fifth street. He was in front of the
trailer and in dangerous position.
After the outfit had bumped over the
railway crossing at Davie street. the
driver stopped his horses and de-
scended to the pavement for the pur-
pose of chasing the boys off the rear
vehicle. While doing so the horses
started suddenly. and young Raymond
was ierl<ed from his place and fell
between the two wagons. The fore
wheel of the trailer passed over his
arm and leg transversely. One of his
legs was broken. the other quite bad
ly bruised. and the arm somewhat
crushed. Luckily the vehicle did not
pass over his body or else he would
have been killed.

Greenville, May 3. "A case on

The Fields Are Well Prepared
General Need of Rain, However.
Cotton and Corn Nearly
All Planted.

The weekly bulletin of the con-
d;tion of the weather and the
crops was issued yesterday by Di-
rector Bauer of the South Caro-
lima section of the climate and
crop service of The United States
/ weather bureau.
Thunder storms occurred on
April 30th, May list and Sd, in
all portions of the State, but they
failed to supply 'the whole State
sufficient moisture, as some points
had no rain and many had too
little to be !of much benefit. The
amounts ranged from "T" Ito l. :
"A inches, the latter at Cheraw,
with an average of O.56 for the
State. The drought in the eastern
counties was broken at a number
Of scattered Localities, but not gen
orally so, and over a large area it
has become quite serious, and a
menace to young crops. Hail and
high winds accompanied the thun-
der storms at many points, but,
as crops are small, the damage
was light.
The weather was extremely fa-
vorable for prosecuting farm
work, which advanced rapidly, and
were it not for the lack of moist
ure in places that renders stiff
soils too hard to cultivate, the
conditions could not very well be
bettered. Fields are well prepared,
well cultivated and clean; germi-
nation has been fairly satisfac-
tory; stands are generally full;
growth has been rapid recently,
and the only .untoward condition
is the need of u general rain, and
this need is not Urgent except in
spots that, however, represent
large areas in the aggregate.
Upland corn has about all been
planted, and on many bottoms the
work is finished. Stands are fairly
good, but have been injured by
worms and birds, making some
replanting necessary. Corn has
quite generally received its first
working and in many places has
been cultivated the second time.
Cotton is nearly all planted,
with some still to plant lin all sec
tions. 1t is coming up to fair
stands, and as yet has required
little or no replanting, although
rain is needed to bring up recent
plahtings. Some fields .have been
cultivated. Chopping out 'has be-
gun tand will be general next
week. Sea island cotton planting
is nearly finished, and, where
showers occurred, is coming up
nicely.

TRACY, THE OUTLAW"

Many people are following the for
tunes Of Harry Tracy, the notorious
desperate, who had the whole state of
Oregon in an uproar last summer, as
these fortunes are portrayed in the
melodrama, Tracy, the Outlaw" that
is on at Polls this afternoon and that
will be repeated this evening. For the
information of those, however, who
may promptly class this play with the
blood and thunder melodramas of on
consequential Importance it may be
said that it is of that type, as it shows
Tracy's good qualities more prominent
Iy than his bad ones, though without
making him out hero. Realism there
is, of course, in plenty, this being pro-
duced largely by means Of scenery that
is painted from photographs taken of
portions of the route over which the
outlaw made his daring fight. More
realism, too, is effected by the intro
ductlon of the bloodhounds that were
used to track Tracy after his escape
from prison and the horse he last used.
as well as the saddle, bride. pistol and
other relies of the desperate. Prices
are 70, 30 and so cents.
