week, but latterly they were

warm. The storms occurred on
April 30th, May 1st and Sd, in
al. portions Of the state, but they
failed to supply the whole state
with sufficient moisture, as some
points had no rain and many had
too little to be of much benefit.
The amounts ranged from "T' to
1.24 inches, the latter at Cheraw,
with an average of 0.56 for the
state. The drought in the east
ern counties was broken at num-
Der of scattered localities, but not
generally so, and over a large area
it has become quite serious, and
= menace to Young crops. Hail
aud high winds accompanied the
thunder storms at many points,
but, as crops are small, the dam
age was light.
The weather was extremely
favorable for prosecuting farm
work, which advanced rapidly,
and, were it not for the lack Of
moisture in places that renders
stiff soils too hard to cultivate,
the conditions could not very

fairly satisfactory ; stands are
generally full growth has been
rapid recently, and the only un-
toward condition is the need of a
general rain, and this need is not
urgent except in spots that, how
ever, represent large areas in the
aggregate.
Upland corn has about ali 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 in all
sections. 1t is coming up to fair
stands, and as yet has required
little or no replanting, although
rain is needed to bring up recent
paintings. Some fields have been
cultivated. Chopping out has
begun and will be general next
week. Sea island cotton is nearly
all planted, and, where showers
occurred, is coming up nicely.
Tobacco has about all been
transplanted, and with few scat
tered exceptions good stands have
been secured, and the crop is
doing eXcellently. The acreage
has been increased over last wear

COURT DECISION WILL RELEASE
TWO HUNDRED coNvicTs.

Regular Army Officers Cannot Set

Of Other Forces.

St. Louis, Feb O-Esta5iished
precedents of the United States army
were overthrown and the freedom OF
nearly 200 men now confined in fed
eral penitentiaries was assured by a
decision rendered by the United
States circuit court of appeals today
in the case CT Peter G. Deming, a
former captain of United States vol
unteers, against Robert w. McClaury,
warden Of the federal penitentiary at
Fort Leavenworth. Deming was i'm
prisoned on the sentence of a court
martial composed of nine regular
army officers, convened by General
w. r. ShafteI on March 49, 1900. The
opinion of the circuit court, written by
Judge Walter S. Sanborn, is that the
court martial which sentenced Dem
ing acted in violation Cf article II of
the Articles of War, which provides
that officers of the regular army shall
not be competent to sit on court
martial for the trial Of officers and
soldiers of other forces. The essential
question as stated in Judge Sanborn's S
opinion, is whether the volunteer
army is the same as the regular army,
or whether it is one of the ''other
forces" mentioned in article II. The
opinion established the fact that the
volunteer army is at all times dis
tinct from the regular army.
Deming will be released from the
Fort Leavenworth penitentiary with

The greatest tangle in the city at

as can be ascertained the records of
the department are destroyed There
is a set of books which shows the val

in the city and the assessors have
their field books from which all this
could be duplicated, without over
much work. 1t is said, however, that
it is almost certain the records show

not in existence anything from which

today made application for an injunc-
tion against the management of a
play called "The James Boys in Mis-

James family are represented as be-
ing train robbers, bank looters and
outlaws of the worst character. The
suit VISA brought, Mr.. James says, be-
cause it glorifies outlawry, makes
heroes of outlaws, and is injurious to
the youth of the country, and besides,
he says, it revives a reputation that

morrow. The play was presented as

their services We're not necessary at
any time.
Unfortunate speculations. especial
ly heavy purchases of Amalgamated
Copper stock are believed to be re-
sponsible for Andrews ruin. Presi-
