CONDITIONS AND AVERAGES.

Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens
Gives an Interesting Resume of the
Outlook For Crops Throughout the
Different Sections of the State.
The June Crop Report by the Geor
gia Department OF Agriculture:
Although conditions are not as favor
able as could be desired, there is grea:
improvement in many respects ovei
those that prevailed one year ago.
Corn and cotton, the great staple crops
OF Georgia, are doing well in most
sections. There is some increase in
the acreage of corn, and a decrease in
that of cotton; but the conditions and
prospects of both are fairly good
The outlook for sugar cane and rice
is encouraging.
The products of our great CONNER
cial orchards were cut short by late
frosts, but it is hoped that the fruit
which escaped will, by reason of adj
yanced prices, reward abundantly the
care and labor of the orchard men.
This is especially true of the peach
crop. Apples, pears and plums are
far from promising, though there are
some few exceptions to this statement.
The melon crop in some places is
not up to the average; in others it is
doing we'll.
Grapes are fine in most sections, and
in some far above the average.
Gardens have suffered much for lack
of rain, but good showers in some
localities have revived those that were
failing by reason of drought.

Senator Tillmaa's Rash Talk.

Senator Illlman can mar gOOd
cause as we'll as he can improve bad
one. His Boosting in the Senate
Wednesday of the fact that negroes
had been terrorized at elections and
lyncbed in the south will do much
injury to both the south and the
cause of anti-imperialism, which in his
way be champions There is no es-
sential connection between outrages
upon the negroes and outrages upon
the Filipinos and were Senator TIL
man as discreet as he is vigorous he
would not allow northern Republi-
cans to goad him into line of de-
bate which is most welcome and sat-
isfactory to them. Then, as matter
of fact, the redemption of South
Carolina from negro rule was accom-
p'ished without violence or disorder
on the part of the whites. The
campaign of 1875 wasa marvel in
this respec'; save in one or two in
stances, when the incidents we're not
approved by the Democratic campaign
managers, no negro was killed and
the State was redeemed without the
use of the shotgun. But since Sen
ator Tillman's only participation in
the fight for white supremacy was
the part he took in the Hamburg or
Ellenton riot perhaps it ls natural
that he should now boast that the
methods then employed we're gener-
ally practiced. Rash and unwise, un-
called for and harmful are such boast
ings and it is no wonder that bis
Democratic colleagues nearly all left
the Senate chamber while he was
speaking.
Again we have to regret that with
all his admitted ability as thinker
aud a debater, Senator Tillman
should spoil the effect of his really
forceful speeches by the reckless in
lection of violence of language. The
less that South Carolina Senator
has to say in defence of violence and
fraud and lynchipgs the better it is
for his State and the cause he may
advocating If such things have
been done we should regret the real
or seeming necessity instead of pa
rading an upjusti6ed pride in their
performance. Surely the morals as
we'll as the reputation Of South Caro-
lima has been severely enough Injured
by these circumstances, the number
and Importance of which Senator
Tillman has Enthusiastically exag-
eerated. There is no need for a
South Carolina Senator to defy public
opi-ion and to give fresh excuse to
prejudice now happily waning.
Is it too much to expect that Ben
Tillman will ever learn to be temper
ate of speech? For the sake of South
Carolina We have often had cause to
blush for his oratorical indiscretions
and now for the broader cause of
true Americanism and humanity, we
are again forced to regret that South
Carolina's senior Senator has not
sounder and ssner and safer judg-
ment.

The Chattanooga Times few days
ago contained the following:
"The recent storms have caused
much damage to the handsome South
Carolina monument at Chickamauga
park. The monument erected to the
South Carolinians who participated
in the battle of Chickamauga con-
sists of a huge bronze palmetto tree
on marble base. The winds and
storms have stripped the bronze
leaves and kroken off three limbs cf
the tree. Part of the bronze is lying
on the ground by the monument,
while the rest of it has evidently
been carried away. The marble
around the monument has also been
cracked and seriously damaged.'
Commenting on the above the Ce.
lumbia State says: "Unless repairs
are made at once the handsome mon
ument erected only a short time ago
will be ruined. The Governors at.
tention has been called to the matter
and he has taken it up with General
Walker and other members Of the
commission"
