Crop Conditions.

The United States department. Of
agriculture for the South Carolina
section in the Greg service Of the
weather bureau has is sued it's weekly
crop bulletin. In writing Of South
Carolina conditions the reports says:
Preparations Of lands, and spring
planting are about as late as they
were last year, which is to say about
ten days later than the average sea-
son. Slow progress was made over
the western counties where the farm
work is backward and the season. very
late. Here some corn lands have been
prepared and a little corn has been
planted but planting has not become
general. Over the eastern and cen
tral counties the upland corn planting
is well under way and some early
planted is up. Ground is too cold,
however, for favorable termination.
Usually cotton planting is well under
way over the southeastern counties
by the first of April, but this year cot
ton planting during March has been
confined to southeastern portion prin-
cipally to Beaufort county, where
about one fourth Of the contemplated
acreage has been planted, mostly Of
the Sea Island variety.
Lands have been largely prepared
and are awaiting suitable planting
weather over the eastern and central
counties, where by April 10th it is ex-
pected, work will become general. In
western counties preparation Of cot
ton lands is backward and planting
will be late although during the latter
portion of March work Of preparation
advanced rapidly but planting will be
delayed until ground becomes warm
enough for favorable termination OF
seed.

ENGLISHMEN, BEWARE!
An Organization to Rob and Annoy Emissaries
Of that Country In America.

The HERALD is in receipt of the follow
ing letter received this morning in the
mail from the west:
ENUMCLAw, April 5, 1902
Mr.. EDITOR will you kindly let me
know through the HERALD if there is a
man named John Bell Scotchman,
living at place called Mckee, and was
he robbed of a cheap watch and some
money lately. There is man here
calling himself Mike Mcdonald boasting
that his brother did it. He claims they
are both Beers and belong to an organ
ization which has agents all over the
United States to rob and annoy all
influential and highly intellectual ennis
saries of England in this country.
Respectfully,
Phil CATRoN.
Yes. John Bell of the Mckee was
robbed in Sandberg's saloon on the
morning OF April /, 1902. He lost
cheap watch" and some money. A
man giving the name of Dan Mcdonald
was arrested on the charge of larceny
from the person and Mr.. Bell, it is
alleged, was his victim. Mcdonald had
hearing before Justice j. A. Taggard
and was bound over to the superior
court, in the sum of $3.50 bail, for trial.
A party travelling under the name of
Joe Manville was also arrested on the
charge of robbing Mr.. $40 in the
same place on the sap re. Manville
was bound over to- d. for trial. At
the time Manvilb tried it was the
opinion of sow At he was not con-
nected with Il obbery, and the above
letter may subslantiate this belief.
Dan Mcdonald, as above named, may
be the guilty one in connection with the
robbing of John Bell, but no one would
accuse him OF being guilty of heading an
organization as above referred to. Mike
and Dan Mcdonald sound as much like
Boer names as Pat O'Hooligan does.
Mike must be dreaming about his con-
nection with a worthy cause. Anyhow,
the authorities now have chance to
ferret out desperate gang" of inter
national diplomacy disturbers.

L. J. Estes of Bickleton had a trial
before Justice J. G. MacCrimmon last
Friday on the charge of perjury. The
prosecuting witness was William f.
Rafferty,, who alleged that Estes swore
falsely in the matter of marriage H.
cense issued by County Auditor Kelso to
r. S. Lasley and Miss Lolita Rafferty, on
February ~ last. The father testified
that the girl was not Is at the time OF
the issuance of the license. whereas l..
J. Estes had signed the docket to the eff
feet that she was Is past at the time.
The dockets were brought in and showed
that a person named l.. J. Estes had
signed as above stated. Justice j. A

hibited memorandum to the effect that
the girl said she was Is after he had tied
the knot. He could not positively
identify Estes as the person in question.
Taking the testimony as it stood, JUS
tice MacCrimmon dismissed the case on
the ground that it was not sufficiently
established that Estes was the party to
the "deed." Estes plead not guilty.
This ended what was expected to be a
sensational case.

REVIVAL WORK AT PERRY.
Four interesting Meetings Were Held
More Will Follow.

Perry, o. T., Dec. 24.-The Republican
says: The new year revival work has
begun early in the NJ. L. church. Yes
terday morning f. S. Stockweu preached
a yer yspirited sermon which seemed to
deeply effect the congregation. This was
followed by a class meeting where there
was a very decided spiritual feeling. Then
came the Epworth League about twilight
when a large number of younge people
were present But what appeared to be
the crowning work of the day was the
evening meeting. Rev. G.. ". Martin
preached a very touching sermon which
ddi its work upon the hearts of the con-
gregation. The speaker noticed the re-
sponsive condition of the congregation
and at the close of the discourse he gave
an opportunity for those who wished to
come forward and make known their de-
sires TO lead better lives. Without any
waiting two boys and man went for
war dior prayers. Those who wished the
prayers of the church but who did not
Ieel like going to the altar were asked
to raise their hand, ana Immediately
four hands went up. The very notice
able earnestness of those desiring
change of heart was a matter of COM
nlent by all present.
Spontaneously this religious fervor has
broken forth in the Methodist church
two weeks before the time set for the an
nual revival, and the work in all its lead
irgs will be followed by the pastor The
services will be taken up at once, begin
