HIGH PRICE OF BEEF.

There is no wisdom in the efforts of
the sO-called beef trust TO discourage

outcome of proceedings which United

Daring the past few months the
prices of meat have been raised in an
apparently arbitrary manner. While it
is true that the farmers are receiving
high price for their stock, most of the
profits go INTO the hands of the packers.
The law of supply and demand does
not explain the cost TO consumers.
Packers claim that they have not

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 3o.-The
week ending Monday, September 18th
was slightly warmer than usual. with
a mean temperature of about rs de-
grees, a maximum of 93 degrees at
Darlington on the 9th, and a mini
mum Of SO degrees at Bowman and
Bennettsville. Sunshine was slightly
deficient, with more cloudiness to-
wards the close of the week, when
showery conditions prevailed.
The rainfall was quite general over
the State, although below normal,
with a number of localities that had
from one to two inches. The rain
was needed and benefited late cotton,
late corn, peas, gardens, cane, truck,
and put the soil into excellent condition
for sowing oats, and, while it interfer-
ed with cotton picking, it did not
damage the staple to any material ex-
tent.
Early and medium corn is being
housed, while very. late corn is now
ripening.
Early cotton is practically all open,
and picked, except in numerous local
tiles where laborers are scarce. Some
fields have been picked out. Late cot
ton is now opening freely, and is most
" open, except the new fruitage that,
in few localities, is heavy, but will
need full month of favorable weather
to reach maturity; in most fields there
is no top crop, or else a very small
one. Estimates of yields have been
raised by some correspondents and low
cred by others, and from the average
of these estimates it appears that the
yield for the State will probably
compare favorably With last year.
Sea-island cotton is a better crop than
usual, and although it opened slowly
heretofore, is now opening rapidly.
The lint of both upland and sea-island
cotton is of high grade, and very
little has been weather-stained. In
general, picking is farther advanced
than usual at this date, and will pro.
badly be finished during October.
Rice harvest made favorable progress,
with May and June paintings ripenine
and about ready to cut. The rice crop
is very satisfactory. Truck crops are
doing we'll. Peas vary greatly in con
dition, but average a fair crop. The
same is true of grass for hay. 4 mod
crate crop of both pea vine and other
hay has been saved in fine condition.
Oats sowing made slow progress, but
early sown oats are coming up to gooc
stands. Minor crops continue to dc
we'll, but need more rain in places.

a negro was burned at the stake in
Corinth, Miss, or Sunday by mob
IN which, the press reports say, there
we're women and children. The negro
made full confession of guilt the
day before he was burned to death by
the gentle and kindly people of Corinth
who graciously grantsda days respite
until his mother and brother could be
sent for. This Corinth !ynching was one
ofthe most cold -bloeded, and brutal of
the many that have disgraced the
South. The negro had confessed his
guilt, his victim was dead and there
was no reason to fear q miscarriage of
justice if he was held for regular
trial, aor was there the feelings of the
unfortunate victim to be considered
as an argument against public trial.
There was and can be nc justification
of the Corinth lynching, no matter
what plausible excuse may be advanced
&, justify other lynchings.

tax rate could be lowered instead OF
being increased. We do not know
the conditions existing in other coun-
ties but assuming that Sumter county
is neither better nor worse than the
Others, it is clearly evident tnat a
sweeping reform is badly needed.
The small property owners pay more
than. their proportion of the taxes, for
having little, little can be concealed
and escape taxation; but the large pro-
perty owners and the corporations can
and do return property at far less than
its value and escape the payment OF
the taxes they should, in justice, pay.
An inspection of the tax returns to
Sumter county would be revelation
to many. Many people would be
shocked to discover how little some
OF our rich men have, or, to be exact
in statement, how low a valuation
some of our rich men place upon their
property. It would be still greater
revelation were it possible to compare
in parallel columns the tax returns
and the reports made to commercial
agencies.
