OTHER CROPS THAN COTTON.
Cotton Conditions Are Not at All
Favorable.

The following is the weather-crop
report issued last week by Section
Director Bauer:
The temperature averaged about
3 degrees per day above normal our
ing the week ending Monday, August
II. with mean Of 81 degrees: a
maximum of 100 degrees at: Florence
on the 5th and a minimum of so de-
grees at Greenyille and Liberty on
the Sth and 9th. There was slight
deficiency in sunshine and the week
closed with cloudy, threatening and
showery weather prevailing. There
were numerous wind storms, but the
resulting damage to crops was slight
and confined to small areas. Widely
separated points reported hail, but
only in ,Pickens and Kershaw coun-
ties did the hail damage crops to any
extent.
As during the previous week no
general rains occurred, but light
local showers are reported from nearly
every portion of the State-heavy in
Williamsburg. where. at kingStree,
the weekly amount was 3.47 inches.
There were numerous localities that
had no appreciable or beneficial
amount. The drought conditions are
most severe in the middle and upper
Savannah valley, and adjacent Sec
tionS and Fairfield county, where the
total rainfall for July amounted to
less than an inch. At most places
the weeks rainfall amounted to less
than an inch.
Ideal growing weather prevailed
along the coast and in the eastern
Pee Dee region, with favorable
weather at a few points in the CEN
tral counties and in the eXtrema weS-
tern portion of the state, but over
the larger portion of the state cropc
need rain badly and have deterior-
ated.
Old corn was not affected by the
prevailing weather, but young corn
in places is suffering for rain and is
less promising than last week, while
bottom land corn is very fine. Fod-
der pulling and curing are general,
and nearly finished in the southeast
ern counties.
The condition Of cotton is more
promising this week than it was last
in few Of the eastern counties, but
generally less so owing to the spread
of rust and continued shedding. At
many points the plants have turned
yellow and are seemingly dying. Ma
ture bolls are opening freely and some
bollS prematurely, but picking has not
become general, although it has been
begun at a few points and will soon
be general.
Tobacco cutting and curing con-
tinue in places, and are finished in
others. Rice is heading and the
heads are filling we'll Fail truck is
excellent along the coast. bat gar
dens are poor. Peas for forage and
sweet potatoes need rain. Sugar
cane and sorghum are doing nicely,
and some syrup has been made. Hay
ing has begun under favorable weather
conditions.

1t affords us pleasure to give you
our estimate Of Mr.. G. Lawrence

tion of the affairs Of his office as Coun-
ty Treasurer for Greenville County,

tions with the public during his whole

urer thereby familiariZing him with

To Kill the Boil Worms.

A correspondent Of the Greenville
Mountaineer says one of the most ef-
fective means Of destroying the boil
worm. that is now beginning to attack
the cotton, is to drive stakes over the
field, allowing them to project above
the cotton. On these stake places tin
pans. from two to three inches IN
depth, and in these pans put ordinary
house lamps. Fill the pans with
water nearly to the top, having the
surface Of the water covered with Oil
castor oil or melted lard will suffice.
Light these lamps about twilight every
evening, the weather permitting, and
let them burn during the entire night.
The insect that bores into the boil
and deposits the egg that produces
these worms, invariably fiys against
the hot lamp chimney, becoming para
lyzed, falls into the oil, or grease that
covers the surface Of the water con-
tained in the pan. The substance be-
ing too heavy for the insect to extri-
catel itself, holds it fast and it per-
ishes. Locate the lamps from $50 to
200 feet apart. At cost Of about 20
cents per acre you can destroy these
devastators. 1t is necessary that every
neighbor act in concert to obtain a
complete riddance Of this unlimited
visitor, best known as the sharp
ShOOter'

IN More New Instruments.

The government will save good
deal of money as a result Of the de-
cision of the quartermaster general
of the army to buy no more musical
instruments for army bands until
the present stock, which is quite ex-
tensive. has been exhausted. 1t has
been the practice in the last few
years to permit the bandsmen to IN
dicate the particular make OF instru-
ments deemed most suitable for the
requirements of individual nusicians.
The choice YVES limited to lnstru-
ments of domestic manufacture. For
the time being calls for instruments
must be confined to the make at
present on hand. The reserve stock
has recently increased owing to the
turning in Of the instruments OF
abandoned bands.

JOHN G. MOBLEY.
his Prospect TOR Railroad
Commissioner.

The indications are that Mr.. John
6. Mobley of Fairfield will be in the
second primary for railroad commits
Sioner. with an excellent chance for
nomination and election. He has
made many friends by his speeches
and by his conduct in the canvass.
Mr.. Mobley believes that there can be
much improvement in railroad freight
tariffs in South Carolina, and while
he would award srtict justice to rail
roads he would see that the interest
Of the public is protected. He finds
that Charleston, instead OF occupying
her former position as the metropolis
of this state and adjoining territory,
is now much injured by the fact that
rates are made to induce shipments
of cotton and other goods to more
northern parts. The mill men Of the
state have made a strong petition to
the railroad commission TO have rates
between the upcountry and Charles
ton reduced, so that the products Of
the mills may have the DenehJ OF
greater ocean transportation and thus
secure better terms for the eastern
trade. Mr.. Mooley would see that
Charleston is unbottled. Fortunate
ly the rates from the Piedmont to
Charleston lie within the Jurisdiction
Of the state railroad commission.
Mr.. Mobley has practiced law, but
prefers to conduct his fine dairy farm.
He therefore knows the law and the
facts. He is fearless and incorrupt-
ible and is a marvel of energy. No
man in the race possesses as many
favorable qualifications for the position
as Mr.. Mobley, and his election would
add great strength to the commission.

Will Plant Cotton.

The South is to have another rival
in cotton production. New York.
Pennsylvania and Ohio capitalists
have purchased 350,00O acres in Cuba
for Gotten culture and $4,000, 900 will
be expended at once in Improvements.
The Cuban crop, however, will hardly
be large enough for several years tc
materially reduce the price. And
there is compensation also in the fact
that these northern capitalists will
soon begin demanding protection
for American cotton against cotton
from Egypt and other foreign coun-
tries, and In this protection the South
